Part 16 · Chapter 50

The Ari's Text

Now the Nefesh of Adam was from Nukva de ZA that descended in the place of Nefesh in Beria, and his Ruach was from ZA that descended in the place of his Nukva. In that, the text that states that Nefesh and Ruach are Malchut and Tifferet is correct and does not dispute with the article of Sabba, which speaks of after the sin of Adam.

1Now the Nefesh of Adam was from Nukva de ZA that descended in the place of Nefeshin Beria, and his Ruach was from ZA that descended in the place of his Nukva etc. does not dispute with the article of Sabba, which speaks of after the sin. Explanation: After the sin ZA came down to Behinat VAK and he is his Behinat from the Chazeh down, which belongs to Nukva. Thus, ZA descended to the degree of Nukva from before, and Nukvaherself descended to a single Nekuda under the Yesod. Her bottom nine descended to Olam Beria, and you find that the Nukva descended to Beria.This is the meaning of the words of the Rav that when he says that Nefesh is from Nukva and Ruachfrom ZA, he speaks of after the sin of Adam ha Rishon, when ZA became VAK and the Nukva a Nekuda under Yesod.It is written, “In that, the text that states that Nefesh and Ruach are Malchut and Tifferet is correct and does not dispute with the article of Sabba, which speaks of after the sin.” It means that it will not disagree with the text of the Sabba because the Sabba speaks of after the sin, and the words that speak after the sin relate to his words that NR are Tifferet and Malchut.
