That is: ZA [Zeir Anpin] takes his portion and her portion, for he is a firstborn son. Thus he first took his Kli [vessel] and hers, in the back alone, from the discernment of MA and BON, and likewise in this manner with the Lights. It follows that there are now in him MA and BON in the Light of Neshama [soul], and the inner Kli is his; and likewise for the Nukva [female].

1His portion and her portion, for he is a firstborn son: The secret of the birthright that prevails among the upper Partzufim has already been explained above, page 739, the passage beginning “Sons.” For just as the upper one is considered a father to every lower one of his, being its cause, so too, along with this, there is in every upper one a single discernment, by virtue of which the upper and the lower are considered brothers to one another — except that between them there is only the distinction of birthright: that although they come from a single degree, still the discernment in the upper one is superior, in that it has precedence in birth.
For it is known that attached to the posteriors of ZA are the anterior of the Nukva [female], namely her GE [Galgalta ve Einayim], from the time of the Katnut of ZA, from when his AHP were still in a fall in the degree of the Nukva. Therefore, when ZA rose as MAN [Mayin Nukvin] to AVI for the Mochin of Gadlut, and for the Light of Neshama, as above — then the coupling reached also the MAN of the Nukva, namely her GE, which rose together with the posteriors of ZA in that same coupling of Neshama. And therefore that portion of the stature of that coupling which pertains to the MAN of the Nukva, namely the discernment of her GE that are attached to the AHP of ZA at the time of his coupling of Neshama — these MAN of the Nukva are not yet able to receive them, since they are still there without form, because the coupling was made then in her upper masters. And therefore it is necessarily ZA who receives them, in addition to the stature of light and vessel of Neshama that he receives for himself. It follows that he receives from AVI two portions in that coupling: one, his own portion, the light and vessel of the stature of Neshama, which came out on his own discernment of MAN. And the second portion is what he receives of the portion of the Nukva — namely, light and vessel of the stature of Neshama that came out on the discernment of the MAN of the GE of the Nukva, which are attached to the MAN of ZA, namely to his AHP — which the Nukva is unable to receive now, since her MAN are still without form, for she does not yet even have the vessels of Katnut, so how could she receive within her the stature of Neshama and Gadlut? Thus ZA takes double: his own portion and her portion. And all this is because the posteriors of ZA are already found in MAN a second time, and therefore they are able to take on form, and are found being born first, before the GE of the Nukva that are attached to him in his AHP. Thus the cause of the birthright — namely, that he is born and completed before the GE of the Nukva — caused him to take double: his own portion, and the portion of the Nukva.
And this is what he said: “ZA takes his portion and her portion, for he is a firstborn son” — namely, as above: since he was completed before the Nukva, he was therefore obligated to receive with him also the portion of the Nukva, which came out together with his own portion at the time he attained his Mochin of Neshama. As explained.
2He first took his vessel and hers, in the back alone, from the discernment of MA and BON, and likewise in this manner with the Lights: Now the ARI explains which discernment of vessel and light are the portion of the Nukva that ZA took with him at the time of his coupling in AVI, as above.
And you must know that the first coming — both for the making of the vessel and for the first Rucha [spirit] — is entirely BON, this being because they are the discernment of the correction of the vessels, in order to complete them in ten Sefirot, namely, to restore to them the AHP that fell from them, which are the old vessels from the time of the first kings, who are called BON. However, certainly the new light that comes out with their correction now is considered MA, for all the statures that came out in Atzilut are regarded by the name MA, as is known. But that light which comes with the old, restored vessels is regarded by the name MA of BON — that is, the new light that came out with the correction of those posterior vessels, in order to restore them to the Atzilut of the degree.
And this is what he said: “He first took his vessel and hers, in the back alone, from the discernment of MA and BON, and likewise with the Lights” — for when ZA rose as MAN to AVI for the Mochin of Neshama, he was already corrected in the Mochin of VAK [six ends], which are his AHP, that had completed his anterior vessels, as above — for before this he is not yet fit to receive the Mochin of Neshama. And therefore he now received both from MA and from BON, both in Lights and in vessels. For ZA himself is comprised of MA and BON, which are the discernment of the upper ZON, in that the male within ZA has his root chiefly from the ZAT of MA, and the Nukva within him has her root chiefly from the ZAT of BON, as is known. And now that he received MA and BON of the Lights of Neshama, together with the vessels — the male of ZA received his portion and the portion of the Nukva, whose MAN are still found without form — from the discernment of MA alone, both in Lights and in vessels, for the new vessels that come out with the coupling are regarded as vessels of MA, as is known, and all this the male of ZA took. And the Nukva of ZA that is in his body — namely, the Nukva of the great ZON — also received from that coupling her own portion, and the portion of the true Nukva of ZA, whose MAN are still found without form; and she received the discernment of BON alone, both for her own portion and for the portion of the true Nukva. For this is the whole distinction between male and female of the great ZON: that the male is entirely MA, and can receive from AVI only MA; and the female of the great ZON is entirely BON, and can therefore receive from AVI only the discernment of BON.
And this is what he said: “It follows that there are now in him MA and BON in the Light of Neshama, and the inner vessel is his; and likewise for the Nukva” — that is, as explained, that although the MAN of the Nukva are still found without form, nevertheless, through his inclusion in the AHP of the great ZON in the coupling of AVI, it follows automatically that there also comes out, on the discernment of her MAN, Lights of MA and BON of the discernment of Neshama — except that she herself is unable to receive them. And therefore the great ZON take double: MA and BON of their own portion in Lights and vessels, and likewise MA and BON of the portion of the Nukva, in Lights and vessels, since the Nukva cannot receive them, in her rising now for the first time, as above.
