Part 12 · Chapter 109

The Ari's Text

And behold, it was explained there that there are also drops of whiteness from the male, namely the name Yud-Hei-Vav in the filling of Hehin, which is in its three last ones, and its numerical value is forty-two. And behold, from it is made the secret of the white milk in the offspring, for the milk is the secret of the whiteness of the offspring, as is known. And when the milk and the milk and the aforementioned blood are joined, the numerical value is three times the aforementioned forty-two, and two are still missing from them, and the deficiency is in the two Eheyehs in the female, for each one has only forty-one letters, but the Yud-Hei-Vav is complete, numerically forty-two.

Inner Light

This commentary hasn't been matched to individual seifim yet — items are shown in reading order, and the number beside each one counts the notes themselves, not the seifim of the Ari's text.

Not matched to a seif

1And the deficiency is in the two Eheyehs in the female, for each one has only forty-one letters: This hints that the mother lacks the upper forty-second gate, which is her Keter — this being the secret of “if you call for Bina,” as the ARI writes in Etz Chaim, Gate 13, Chapter 13, at length. Study it there well.
