Part 7 · Chapter 73

The Ari's Text

Afterwards, when the Emanator wanted to correct them, He raised the vessels in Atzilut, too, in an order of three lines. Then, when they were made in the state of lines, came the first Ibur [impregnation] of ZON, and a second correction was added, as the lights came inside the vessels. However, it was still only in the state of three lines, which we call three contained in three. Then they expanded in the form of VAK during the Yenika, and after that, at the time of the Mochin, all ten vessels were completed. There was another change: In the beginning, before there was any Ibur, when there was not even the first Ibur of ZON, but only a restricted light in the vessel, afterwards, the vessel expanded in the form of a complete Partzuf in order to diminish the light, as this is the primary intention of the correction.

1There was another change. Here he tells us that two principal Tikkunim were necessary to complete the Kelim in a manner that the Tachtonim can receive the Ohr Elyon. The first is the Tikun of the Gimel Kavim; the second is the enlargement of the Kelim in the form of a Partzuf.Now, in the Gufim of GAS de AK, called Akudim, there was only one Kli and one Kav. Afterwards, when the MA and BON de AK, called Akudim, or BON de AK, came out, ten Kelim emerged, as well as Tikun Kavim in GAR de Nekudim. After HGT broke, and the Rosh de YESHSUT came out, there was a Tikun Kavim in Orot de HGT.When Netzah Hod Yesod Malchut broke and the Zivug de Hey Hassadim and Hey Gevurot in Daatcame out, there was a Tikun Kavim in the Orot NHY de Nekudim as well, and the matter of the Ibur Yenika Mochin will be clarified in its place.
