Part 8 · Chapter 10

The Ari's Text

When this new Ohr came out, named MA de Alephin, it sorted out what it could sort out from the Nekudot de SAG that had the breaking in them. These joined and participated with Him, and then the MA became Behinat Dechura and SAG became Behinat Nukva.However, since this SAG has become Nukva to MA, it now acquired a different name, which is BON de Heyin, like this: Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh (יוד הה וו הה). It is no longer called SAG, but BON.

1It sorted out what it could sort out from the Nekudot de SAG that had the breaking in them. This examination begins at Rosh ha Bet de Nekudim, which is Keter de Nekudim. However, Rosh ha Aleph de Nekudim that stands above Tabur did not connect with this new MA because there wasn’t any breaking in it. This is because the Masach stands below it and the Aviut in the Masach cannot blemish above its location.
2SAG became Behinat Nukva. This does not refer to SAG de AK, only to the Eser Sefirot of the Nekudim, which the Rav calls SAGbecause their Kelim are from the Behinat lower nine of SAG, called Nekudot de SAG.
