Part 8 · Chapter 3

The Ari's Text

When the seven Orot rose upward, the Kelim that descended into Beriarose upward to Atzilut as well. However, they did not join together. The seven Orot were in a state of Ibur and “Gimel contained in Gimel”, and the Nekudat (Nekuda of) Malchut was their seventh, in the form of Psia le Bar. Likewise, the seven Kelim were also in that manner, Gimel contained in Gimel, and Malchutalong with them.

1The Kelim that descended into Beria rose upward to Atzilut as well. He tells us that the ascent of the Orot, meaning the Reshimot in the correction of the MAN, correct their Kelim along with them to the extent that the Reshimot were connected in this ascent. This is because the Reshimot always receive the Tikun Kelim. This is what he means when he says that when the seven Orot rose upward, the Kelim that descended to Beria rose up in Atzilut as well.
2However, they did not join together. This means that although the place of the Reshimot is in their Kelim, and although the Kelim have already been connected by them to rise into Atzilut, the Reshimot are still unable to clothe in their Kelim. This is because the Reshimot themselves still haven’t received their complete correction through that ascent of MAN; they still need Zivugim, called months of Ibur (will be explained in their place). By the Reshimot being in the intestines of Bina, they acquire all the MAD from the Zivugim de Ibur and become completely corrected, and then clothe their Kelim.
