Part 12 · Chapter 229

The Ari's Text

Also with regard to the third interpretation there is a difficulty from all places, for on weekdays all the Mochin are only in the NHY of Yeshsut and Tevuna, and even on a festival they are in Tevuna, in its HGT; but in Aba and Ima they are only on the Sabbath and on the night of Passover, as mentioned there in its place. And from there it is understood explicitly that all these Mochin of internality are from Yeshsut and Tevuna themselves, as mentioned elsewhere. The upshot of all this is that the first interpretation is true; therefore we shall expand its explanation well, in a brief manner, with God's help.

Not matched to a seif

1There is a difficulty for the third interpretation from every place, that on weekdays all the Mochin are only from YESHSUT, etc.: We have already spoken of this just above, that the third interpretation speaks specifically of the great ZON, who return face to face only with the Mochin of the upper AVI, meaning in truth only on the Sabbath and Passover. But the small ZON, Jacob and Rachel, whose aspect of Haya and face to face they receive from YESHSUT, which comprises all the aspects of the couplings of festivals and weekdays — of them the third interpretation does not speak, as above.
