Part 8 · Chapter 2

The Ari's Text

It has already been explained that the seven Orot of the Melachim de BON rose, mingled and clothed the three Kavim HB and Keter, which expanded to the end of the above-mentioned place, being HGT.Now that above Hitpashtut returned to be collected upward and became as it first was, when only three were in their place above. It raised the seven lower Orot with them to their place, and now all seven lower Orotwere up in Bina’s place. This is because she is the Mother of the sons, and there is the place of the Herayon and Ibur.

1Now that above Hitpashtut returned to be collected upward etc. It raised the seven lower Orot with them to their place etc. all seven lower Orot. This above-mentioned Hitpashtut was entirely from Behinat Hey Tata’a (lower Hey) in the Eynaim. Now, that the Masach has been purified entirely from all the Aviut de Guf of Behinat Hey Tata’a in the Eynaim, they too rose and departed with the Masach and the Reshimot to their Shoresh in the Rosh.[Written aside by the author: this is where the Zivug de Katnut de Hey Tata’a in the Eynaim comes from. However, it is insufficient from Zivug de Gadlut in GAR since GAR too are not corrected for Gadlut. They must raise MAN for Zivug AB SAG de AK that lowers the Hey Tata’a from the Eynaim. Thus, when it says that He sentenced and raised MAN, and hence there was the Zivug de HB, it is only for the descent of the Hey Tata’a from the Eynaim, like the new Ohr de Nekudim that fissured the Parsa.]Here we must remember what the Rav has written above (Part 7 item 49), that these Achoraim that fell to HGT are the Behinat MAN de AVI, which ZON always raise for them until Gmar Tikun.Also, you know that the Hitpashtut of the three Kavim KHB to HGT are the Achoraim de Keter and AVI that fell to HGT (see Part 7 Ohr Pnimi item 60). It follows, that the Reshimot that rose, meaning the seven Orot, are the MAN for ZON de Atzilut of all Hey Partzufim.The Achoraim de Keter and AVI, which are the Hitpashtut of the three Kavim KHB, are the MAN for GAR of all the Partzufim de Atzilut, and remember that. You will also learn here how ZON, which are the seven Orot, raised the MAN de AVI, which are their Achoraim. This is because the Hizdakchut of the Masach of ZAT raised the above-mentioned Hitpashtut above, to their Shoresh, to GAR, as the Rav explained (Part 7 item 49).
2In Bina’s place. This is because she is the Mother of the sons, and there is the place of the Herayon and Ibur. This is because the matter of raising MAN applies only to Sefirat Bina. Even raising MAN to Malchut is only after it was corrected with the corrections of Ima. The reason is that the entire connection of raising MAN is by Bina’s correlation with ZON de Ohr Yashar (see Part 7, Ohr Pnimi item 24). Hence it does not apply to the other Sefirot, which are not in possession of this correlation.
