Part 8 · Chapter 23

The Ari's Text

*Only the Behina of the apparent Malchut is not in AA, but in its Ateret Yesod. It is so because all that is Dechura, but there is no actual Nukva. In Atik Yomin too there is no Nukva in itself, only the Ateret Yesod de Atik is Nukva, as in AA. However, afterwards, Malchut appears from that Upper most Reisha de Lo Etyada, called Atik Yomin, who is above all these nine Sefirot de AA.

1Only the Behina of the apparent Malchut is not in AA etc. …In Atik Yomin too. As we have explained above (Ohr Pnimi item 20), the Hey Tata’a de MA was concealed in Rosh de Atik, and her Atzmut does not appear in the entire Atzilut.
2Malchut appears from that Upper most Reisha de Lo Etyada. It is called Rosh de Atik Yomin, which is the first Rosh of Atzilut, and where the Hey Tata’a was concealed. Her He’arah appears in Malchut of Olam ha Atzilut, meaning in Malchut that became a complete Partzuf for Nukva de ZA.
