These four phases are the actual four letters HaVaYaH. The Yod-Vav are two phases of expansion, and the Hey-Hey are two phases of departure. You already know that the name HaVaYaH begins only from Hochma downward. The reason is that these four phases belong only to Hochma and under, but Keter contains only two phases. And correspondingly, it is called Yod-Hey, Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey. This is the meaning of, “For in Koh [Yod-Hey] is the Lord [HaVaYaH], an everlasting rock.” This is because He first began to picture and create the world in them. This is the meaning of Akudim, which are the Yod-Hey HaVaYaH, since Yod-Hey in Keter, HaVaYaH in all the other Partzufim.
