Part 6 · Chapter 5

The Ari's Text

First, the tastes of SAG were extended, which is AHP through its Tabur. Afterwards, it did not bring out the rest of the phases, since they are clothed inside MA and BON as the lights of the general AB, of which only the Se’arot that are extended from the AB of the general AB became revealed. The rest of them are concealed inside the general SAG.

1First the Taamim de SAG extended, which is AHP through its Tabur. It means that in the beginning, Taamim de SAG came out before the branches of the general SAGcame out, meaning the Se’arot Rosh and Dikna, occupying Komat AHP through its Tabur, which are Behinat Ohr Yashar and Rachamim (see Ohr Pnimi, item 1). He says there, that there is also Behinat Zachar there, whose Koma is up to Hochma, but he still calls the Partzuf AHP.This is so because the primary Ohr and the Koma is considered Behinat Nekeva, which has Behinot Aviut de Hamshacha. The Nekeva has only Komat AHP, namely Komat Bina, and the reason it ends on the Tabur has already been explained there elaborately.
2For they are clothed inside MA and BON. The matter of the Hitlabshut has already been explained (Ohr Pnimi, item 1). The AB did not return to fill the Kelim that were emptied from Tabur down in the inner AK. It is so because the AB doesn’t have a Masach of Behina Dalet, and therefore cannot shine from Tabur down, the place of Behina Dalet.Thus, the Kelim de ZON in the inner AK from Tabur down remained without Ohr. Afterwards, when Partzuf SAG expanded, its nine lower Sefirot, having but Komat Ohr Bina, which is an Ohr that was not restricted, descended below Tabur de AK and there filled the ZON with Ohr.It is written, “It did not bring the other Behinot out” below Taamim de SAG, being the lower nine Sefirot de SAG, because they are clothed in MA and BON. It means that the lower nine Sefirot de SAGthat clothe in ZON below Tabur of the inner AK, are called MA and BON.Remember these words for this matter of Hitlabshut of the lower nine Sefirot de SAG in the inner MAand BON is fundamental for every incident in Olam ha Nekudim.
