The Ari's Text

Do not be surprised by that because they are very close to Eretz Israel, as it is written in the Midrash and the Yerushalmi about that man who was plowing with his cow. It ran away from him and he chased it until they reached Bavel before night. Thus, the Guf from Eretz Israel is not far from his Agavot from Bavel, since these are the two upper Prakin proximate to the Guf. The other lower four Prakin in both his Raglaim were from the other lands in Hutz la Eretz.

1The Guf from Eretz Israel is not far from his Agavot from Bavel, since these are the two upper Prakin proximate to the Guf. Eretz Israel is Behinat Olam Yetzira. Prior to the sin her First four were in Nukva de Atzilut and her lower six were in the First six of Beria, meaning HBD HGT through Chazeh de Beria.Our sages do not speak of the Rosh and Garon of Adam ha Rishon, but only from his Guf which is Behinat lower six de Yetzira that were then in the First six of Beria. Also, Malchut de Yetzira that stands in the place of Chazeh de Beria is Behinat Ever ha Yarden, containing the First four of Assiya too, which then clothed the lower four TNHY de Beria. The Behinat Guf de Adam ha Rishon was made of them, from the Chazeh down to the end of his Tifferet.Malchut of the First four of Assiya that was in the place of the current Beria is Behinat Suria, close to Bavel. The Raglaim of Adam ha Rishon are Behinat bottom six of Assiya that clothe the First six of Yetzira until the Chazeh. This place is Behinat Hutz la Eretz, hence you find that his Raglaim are from Behinat Hutz la Eretz.However, the Raglaim are divided into three thirds. His two Upper thirds, called his Agavot, are from Behinat two Upper thirds de VAK de Assiya, which are Behinat Bavel, proximate to Suria, which is Malchut of the First four of Assiya.The part of his Guf from the Chazeh down to Sium Tifferet is made of those. The two Upper thirds of VAK de Yetzira, namely Bavel, are found to be close to Behinat Eretz Israel, meaning Malchut de Yetzira that was in Chazeh de Beria like his Agavot, close to his Guf.
