The Gate of the Particulars of the Five Worlds

שַׁעַר פְּרָטֵי חֲמֵשָׁה עוֹלָמוֹת

he Author’s Introduction (פֶּתַח הַמְחַבֵּר): It is written (כְּתִיב): “He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him” (הוּא גָלֵא עֲמִיקָתָא, יָדַע מָה בַחֲשׁוֹכָא, וּנְהוֹרָא עִמֵּהּ שְׁרֵא) (Daniel 2:22). He comes to awaken us concerning the Master of Will (בָּא לְעוֹרְרֵינוּ עַל בַּעַל הָרָצוֹן), who is absolute darkness (שֶׁהוּא חֹשֶׁךְ הַמּוּחְלָט), hidden from the eye of every living being (נֶעְלָם מֵעֵין כָּל חָי), Who is not seen and not revealed (שֶׁאֵינוֹ נִרְאֶה וְנִגְלֶה), because of the abundance of profundity and darkness (מֵרוֹב עֲמִיקוּת וְחֹשֶׁךְ). And it is impossible to conduct the revelation of the worlds (וְאִי אֶפְשָׁר לְהַנְהִיג גִּלּוּי הָעוֹלָמוֹת), and to fulfill the requests of the lower world (וּלְמַלּוֹת בַּקָּשַׁת עוֹלָם הַתַּחְתּוֹן), therefore He brought forth light from light through the Reshimu [Impression] (לָכֵן הוֹצִיא אוֹר מֵאוֹר עַל יְדֵי הָרֹשֶׁם), and oversees through the distancing of the light (וּמַשְׁגִּיחַ עַל יְדֵי הַרְחָקַת הָאוֹר), line by line, precept by precept (קַו לָקָו צַו לָצָו) (Isaiah 28:10), and in truth it is all one (וּבֶאֱמֶת הוּא הַכֹּל אֶחָד), and even regarding the light that oversees through different aspects (וַאֲפִלּוּ אֶל הָאוֹר הַמַּשְׁגִּיחַ בְּפָנִים שׁוֹנִים), there is nothing in that (אֵין בְּכָךְ כְּלוּם). And this is the meaning of: “He knows what is in the darkness” (וְזֶהוּ אוֹמֵר: יָדַע מָה בַחֲשׁוֹכָא), that there should be revealed knowledge from the darkness (לִהְיוֹת גִּלּוּי יְדִיעָה מִן הַחֹשֶׁךְ), line by line, precept by precept (קַו לָקָו צַו לָצָו), level after level of illumination (מַדְרֵגַת הֶאָרָה), and a person should not say that the light is, Heaven forbid, separate from Him (וְלֹא יֹאמַר אָדָם שֶׁהָאוֹר חַס וְשָׁלוֹם נִבְדָּל מִמֶּנּוּ), therefore he says: “and the light dwells with Him” (לָכֵן אוֹמֵר וּנְהוֹרָא עִמֵּהּ שְׁרֵא), from Him the light extends (מִמֶּנּוּ מִתְפַּשֵּׁט הָאוֹר), and all is in a single unity (וְהַכֹּל בְּיִחוּדָא חַד), for it is with Him (שֶׁהוּא עִמֵּיהּ), and from Him and through Him it is revealed (וּמִמֶּנּוּ וְעַל יָדוֹ מִתְגַּלֶּה). As it says in the Zohar (כְּאוֹמְרוֹ בַּזֹּהַר): “He and His vessels are one in them; He and His life-forces are one in them” (אִיהוּ וְגַרְמוֹהִי חַד בְּהוֹן אִיהוּ וְחַיּוֹהִי חַד בְּהוֹן) (Tikkunei Zohar 3b), and they are the light and darkness mentioned (וְהֵם אוֹר וְחֹשֶׁךְ הַנִּזְכָּר), and not as the words in the responsum of the Rivash (וְלֹא כִּדְבַרֵי תְּשׁוּבַת הָרִיבָ״ש), who wrote that we pray to the Sefirot (שֶׁכָּתַב שֶׁאֲנַחְנוּ מִתְפַּלְלִים אֶל הַסְּפִירוֹת), rather the matter is that the prayer reaches the Will (אֶלָּא הָעִנְיָן הוּא שֶׁהַתְּפִלָּה מַגַּעַת אֶל הָרָצוֹן), which is revealed and acts and emerges from the essence of the darkness (הַמִּתְגַּלֶּה וּפוֹעֵל וְיוֹצֵא מֵעֶצֶם הַחֹשֶׁךְ). And behold, He emanated first the Olam haMalbush [World of the Garment] (וְהִנֵּה הֶאֱצִיל בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה עוֹלָם הַמַּלְבּוּשׁ), from the Reshimu [Impression] by which He cleared a place for the worlds (מֵהָרֹשֶׁם שֶׁפִּנָּה מָקוֹם לָעוֹלָמוֹת), and this light spread out in the secret of the letters of the Alef-Beit with their combinations (וְנִתְפַּשֵּׁט הָאוֹר הַזֶּה בְּסוֹד אוֹתִיּוֹת הָאַלְפָאֵי בֵּיתוֹת עִם צֵירוּפֵיהֶם), until the end of the circle (עַד סוֹף הָעִגּוּל), the place where it returns to be Ein Sof [Without End] (מְקוֹם שֶׁחוֹזֵר לִהְיוֹת אֵין סוֹף), and afterward He folded His garment, half over half (וְאַחַר כָּךְ הָיָה מְקַפֵּל אֶת לְבוּשׁוֹ חֶצְיוֹ בַּחֶצְיוֹ), and a vacant place remained (וְנִשְׁאַר מָקוֹם פָּנוּי), called Avir Kadmon [Primordial Air] (הַנִּקְרָא אֲוִיר קַדְמוֹן). And afterward He emanated Adam Kadma’ah Setima’ah [the Concealed Primordial Adam] (וְאַחַר כָּךְ הֶאֱצִיל אָדָם קַדְמָאָה סְתִימָאָה), who surrounds the Tehiru [Vacated Space] (הַמַּקִּיף הַטְּהִירוּ), and they are ten circles and ten airs (וְהֵם עֲשָׂרָה עִגּוּלִים וַעֲשָׂרָה אֲוִירִים), and after him He emanated the Ba’al haRatzon [Master of Will] (וְאַחֲרָיו הֶאֱצִיל בַּעַל הָרָצוֹן), through the Yud of the filling of the Heh of the Name S”G (עַל יְדֵי הַיּוּ״ד שֶׁל מִלּוּי הֵ״י שֶׁל שֵׁם ס״ג), [the] sphere of the Tehiru (אֶת כַּדּוּר הַטְּהִירוּ), which surrounds all the worlds (הַמַּקִּיף כָּל הָעוֹלָמוֹת), beneath Adam Kadmon Setima’ah [the Concealed Primordial Adam] (מִתַּחַת אָדָם קַדְמוֹן סְתִימָאָה), from above and from below (מִלְמַעְלָה וּמִלְמַטָּה), until the place where it returns to be Ein Sof [Without End] (עַד מָקוֹם שֶׁחוֹזֵר לִהְיוֹת אֵין סוֹף). And within it He emanated the ten Sefirot of the Olam haTohu [World of Chaos] (וּבְתוֹכוֹ הֶאֱצִיל עֶשֶׂר סְפִירוֹת שֶׁל עוֹלָם הַתֹּהוּ), and seven of them were shattered (וְשֶׁבַע מֵהֶם נִשְׁבְּרוּ), and Chokhmah and Binah were arranged (וְחָכְמָה וּבִינָה נִסְדְּרוּ), in the secret of Chittah [Wheat] and Se’orah [Barley] (בְּסוֹד חִטָּה וּשְׂעוֹרָה), and in Keter there was a weakness of power (וּבְכֶתֶר הָיְתָה חֲלִישׁוּת הַכֹּחַ), for it was unable to contain all the Ohr Penimi [Inner Light] (שֶׁלֹּא הָיָה יָכוֹל לְהָכִיל כָּל הָאוֹר פְּנִימִי), and Nivlot [Fallen Portions] descended from it (וְיָרְדוּ מִמֶּנּוּ נוֹבָלוֹת), which are preserved for the future as the dew of the resurrection of the dead (הַשְּׁמוּרִים לֶעָתִיד לְטַל שֶׁל תְּחִיַּת הַמֵּתִים). And the fragments descended below (וְהַשְּׁבָרִים יָרְדוּ לְמַטָּה), and formed three classes of Dinim [Judgments] (וְעָשׂוּ שָׁלֹשׁ כִּתּוֹת שֶׁל דִּינִין), in the place that is now Beri’ah, Yetzirah, and Asiyah (בַּמָּקוֹם שֶׁהוּא עַתָּה בי״ע), and they are called Bnei haElohim [Sons of the Elohim] (וְנִקְרָאִים בְּנֵי־אֱלֹהִים), and the Ohr Penimi [Inner Light] returned above (וְהָאוֹר פְּנִימִי חָזַר לְמַעְלָה), and through the fragments was built Alma Nukva deTehoma Rabba [the Female World of the Great Deep] (וְעַל יְדֵי הַשְּׁבָרִים נִבְנָה עָלְמָא נוּקְבָא דִתְּהוֹמָא רַבָּא), and they are the root of evil (וְהֵם שֹׁרֶשׁ הָרָע), so that there should be choice in the world between good and evil (כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּהְיֶה בְחִירָה בָּעוֹלָם שֶׁהוּא טוֹב וָרָע). And this is what our Sages of blessed memory said (וְזֶהוּ שֶׁאָמְרוּ חֲזַ״ל): “The Holy One, blessed be He, built worlds and destroyed them, and said: this one pleases Me and this one does not please Me” (הַקב״ה בָּנָה עוֹלָמוֹת וְהֶחֱרִיבָן, וְאָמַר דֵּין מְהַנְיָין לִי וְדֵין לָא מְהַנְיָין לִי) (Zohar, Hashmatot Bereshit 262b). And afterward He emanated a second Adam Kadmon [Primordial Adam] (וְאַחַר כָּךְ הֶאֱצִיל אָדָם קַדְמוֹן שֵׁנִי), from the Keter within Keter (מִן כֶּתֶר שֶׁבְּכֶתֶר), and Reisha deEin [Head of Nothingness] from the Chokhmah within Keter (וְרֵישָׁא דְּאַיִן מֵחָכְמָה שֶׁבְּכֶתֶר), and Arich [Arich Anpin] from the Binah within Keter (וַאֲרִיךְ מִבִּינָה שֶׁבְּכֶתֶר), and from the Malchut of Adam Kadmon [Primordial Adam], its seven Tikkunim [Rectifications] (וּמִן הַמַּלְכוּת שֶׁל אָדָם קַדְמוֹן ז׳ תִּקּוּנָיו), begins the Olam haAtzilut [World of Emanation] (מַתְחִיל עוֹלָם הָאֲצִילוּת), and its Chokhmah, Binah, Da’at are the secret of its head (וְחַבַּ״ד שֶׁלָּהּ הוּא סוֹד הָרֹאשׁ שֶׁלָּהּ). And afterward He rectified that which He had destroyed (וְאַחַר כָּךְ הָיָה מְתַקֵּן מַה שֶּׁהֶחֱרִיב), and created from the ten Sefirot [Emanations], or Nekudot [Points] (וּבָרָא מֵעֶשֶׂר סְפִירוֹת אוֹ נְקוּדוֹת), the five Partzufim [Configurations] of the Olam haAtzilut [World of Emanation] (חֲמֵשָׁה פַּרְצוּפֵי עוֹלָם הָאֲצִילוּת), and concerning them it is said (וַעֲלֵיהֶם נֶאֱמַר): “With Heh He created them” (בְּהֵ״א בְּרָאָם) (Genesis 2:4). And from Keter was made Atika Kadisha [the Holy Ancient One] (וּמִכֶּתֶר נַעֲשָׂה עַתִּיקָא קַדִּישָׁא), namely Arich Anpin, included of three heads (הוּא א״א הַכָּלוּל מִתְּלַת רֵישִׁין), and He created in its head the seven Tikkunei haRosh [Rectifications of the Head] (וּבָרָא בְּרֹאשׁוֹ שִׁבְעָה תִּקּוּנֵי הָרֹאשׁ), which are G״T KRA״A P״CH [Galgalta [skull], Tala Di-Vdolcha [the Dew of Bdellium], Kruma De-Avira [Membrane of the Air], Re'uva De-Re'uvin [the forehead of favor], Amar Neqe [the pure wool hairs], Pekicha De-La Na'im [the ever-open eye], and Chutma [the nose of breath (שֶׁהֵם ג״ט קר״ע פ״ח). And behold, Gulgalta [Skull] was made from the Keter of Arich Anpin (וְהִנֵּה גֻּלְגַּלְתָּא נַעֲשָׂה מִכֶּתֶר דַּא״א), and the Keter of Ayin [Nothingness] through the Chesed of the Malchut of Adam Kadmon [Primordial Adam] (וְכֶתֶר דְּאַיִן עַל יְדֵי חֶסֶד דְּמַלְכוּת אָדָם קַדְמוֹן), and Tala deBedolcha [Dew of Crystal] was made from the Chokhmah of Ayin and Arich (וְטַלָּא דִבְדוֹלְחָא נַעֲשָׂה מֵחָכְמָה דְּאַיִן וַאֲרִיךְ), through the Gevurah of the Malchut of Adam Kadmon [Primordial Adam] (עַל יְדֵי גְּבוּרָה דְּמַלְכוּת אָדָם קַדְמוֹן), and Kruma deAvira [Membrane of Air] was made from the Binah of Arich Anpin and Ein (וּקְרוּמָא דַאֲוִירָא נַעֲשָׂה מִבִּינָה דַא״א וְאַיִן), through the Tiferet of the Malchut of Adam Kadmon [Primordial Adam] (עַל יְדֵי תִּפְאֶרֶת דְּמַלְכוּת אָדָם קַדְמוֹן). And Re’uva de-Re’uvin [Forehead of Favor] was made from Chesed and Netzach of Ein and Arich [Arich Anpin] (וְרְעוּא דְרָעֲוִין נַעֲשָׂה מֵחֶסֶד וְנֵצַח דְּאַיִן וַאֲרִיךְ), through the Netzach of the Malchut of Adam Kadmon [Primordial Adam] (עַל יְדֵי נֵצַח דְּמַלְכוּת אָדָם קַדְמוֹן), and Amar Nakeh [Pure Wool] was made from Gevurah and Hod of Ein and Arich (וְעָמַר נָקֵי נַעֲשָׂה מִגְּבוּרָה וְהוֹד דְּאַיִן וַאֲרִיךְ), through the Hod of the Malchut of Adam Kadmon [Primordial Adam] (עַל יְדֵי הוֹד דְּמַלְכוּת אָדָם קַדְמוֹן), and Eina Pekicha [The Ever-Open Eye] was made from Da’at, Tiferet, and Yesod of Ein and Arich [Arich Anpin] (וְעֵינָא פְקִיחָא נַעֲשָׂה מִדַּעַת וְתִפְאֶרֶת וִיסוֹד דְּאַיִן וַאֲרִיךְ), through the Yesod of the Malchut of Adam Kadmon [Primordial Adam] (עַל יְדֵי יְסוֹד דְּמַלְכוּת אָדָם קַדְמוֹן). And Chutma de-Ihi Pardashka [the Nose, which is the Distributor] was made from the Malchut of Ein and Arich (וְחוֹטְמָא דְּאִיהִי פַּרְדַּשְׁקָא נַעֲשָׂה מִמַּלְכוּת דְּאַיִן וַאֲרִיךְ), through the Malchut of Adam Kadmon [Primordial Adam] (עַל יְדֵי מַלְכוּת אָדָם קַדְמוֹן), and it is the head that illuminates all the Olam haAtzilut [World of Emanation] (וְהוּא הָרֹאשׁ הַמֵּאִיר לְכָל עוֹלָם הָאֲצִילוּת), and its hairs spread forth from the Tikkun [Rectification] of Amar Nakeh [Pure Wool] (וְהַשְּׂעָרוֹת שֶׁלּוֹ נִתְפַּשְּׁטוּ מִתִּקּוּן עָמַר נָקֵי), and the Thirteen Tikkunei Dikna [Rectifications of the Beard] of Ein and Arich [Arich Anpin] are mentioned in Michah (וְי״ג תִּקּוּנֵי דִּקְנָא שֶׁל אֵין וַאֲרִיךְ נִזְכָּרִים בְּמִיכָה), as it is said (שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר): “Who is a God like You...” (מִי אֵל כָּמוֹךָ וְגוֹמֵר) (Micah 7:18), it refers to Ein (הוּא בְּאֵין). And the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy that Moshe mentioned (וְי״ג מִדּוֹת שֶׁל רַחֲמִים שֶׁזָּכַר מֹשֶׁה), “Hashem, Hashem, God, compassionate and gracious” (י״י י״י אֵל רַחוּם וְחַנּוּן) (Exodus 34:6), refer to Arich [Arich Anpin] (הוּא בַּאֲרִיךְ), and afterward Abba and Imma were made (וְאַחַר כָּךְ נַעֲשׂוּ אַבָּא וְאִמָּא), and the beard overshadows them from the outside (וְהַזָּקָן חוֹפֵף עֲלֵיהֶם מִבַּחוּץ), and they are the two Tikkunim [Rectifications], Notzer and Nakeh (וְהֵם שְׁנֵי תִּקּוּנִים נוֹצֵר וְנַקֵּה), for His Dikna [Beard] hangs down to the navel of the heart (כִּי דִּקְנָא דִילֵיהּ תַּלְיָא עַד טַבּוּרָא דְלִבָּא). And Abba and Imma reach down to the navel of Arich Anpin (וְאַבָּא וְאִמָּא מַגִּיעִים עַד טַבּוּרוֹ דַאֲרִיךְ), and sometimes at a time of favor (וְלִפְעָמִים בְּעֵת רָצוֹן), when through our good deeds we raise Mayin Nukvin [Female Waters] (כְּשֶׁאֲנַחְנוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂינוּ הַטּוֹבִים מַעֲלִים מַיִן נוּקְבִין), Abba and Imma unite (אַבָּא וְאִמָּא מִזְדַּוְּגִים), through the striking of these two Mazalin (עַל יְדֵי בְּטִישַׁת שְׁנֵי מַזָּלִין הָאֵלֶּה), and from them are born two Mochin (וְנוֹלָד מֵהֶם תְּרֵין מוֹחִין), and they join with the two Atarin [Crowns] (וּמִתְחַבְּרִים אֶל תְּרֵין עִטְרִין), which emerge from the Tikkunei haRosh [Rectifications of the Head] and the Dikna [Beard] (הַיּוֹצְאִים מִתִּקּוּנֵי הָרֹאשׁ וְהַזָּקָן), through the two Mazalin (עַל יְדֵי תְּרֵין מַזָּלִין). And then two Partzufim [Configurations], Yisrael Saba and Tevunah, emerge from their Netzach, Hod, Yesod (וְאָז יוֹצְאִים שְׁנֵי פַּרְצוּפֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל סָבָא וּתְבוּנָה מִנֶּה״י שֶׁלָּהֶם), namely from the midpoint of their navel and below (דְּהַיְינוּ מֵחֲצִי טַבּוּר שֶׁלָּהֶם וּמִלְּמַטָּה), and they clothe Arich [Arich Anpin] from his navel and below (וּמַלְבִּישִׁים אֶת אֲרִיךְ מִטַּבּוּרוֹ וּלְמַטָּה), and then Ze’ir Anpin and Nukvah have the power (וְאָז יֵשׁ כֹּחַ לִזְעֵיר אַנְפִּין וְנוּקְבֵיהּ), to clothe Arich [Arich Anpin] from his navel and below (לְהַלְבִּישׁ אֶת אֲרִיךְ מִטַּבּוּרוֹ וּלְמַטָּה). And because they are Partzufei He’arah [Configurations of Illumination] (וּמִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵם פַּרְצוּפֵי הֶאָרָה), they are readily concealed after the Zivug [Union] (נוֹחִים לְהִגָּנֵז אַחַר הַזִּוּוּג), and then Arich [Arich Anpin] folds up his legs (וְאָז מְקַפֵּל אֲרִיךְ אֶת רַגְלָיו), and Ze’ir Anpin and Nukvah have vitality from the Reshimu [Impression] of Arich Anpin (וּזְעֵיר אַנְפִּין וְנוּקְבֵיהּ יֵשׁ לָהֶם חַיּוּת מֵרֹשֶׁם שֶׁל אֲרִיךְ אַנְפִּין). And Abba and Imma are considered the Chokhmah and Binah of the Olam haAtzilut [World of Emanation] (וְאַבָּא וְאִמָּא נֶחְשְׁבוּ לְחָכְמָה וּבִינָה שֶׁל עוֹלָם הָאֲצִילוּת), and from the six Sefirot from Chesed to Yesod, included together (וּמִן שֵׁשׁ סְפִירוֹת מֵחֶסֶד עַד יְסוֹד וְהוּא בִּכְלָל), was made the Partzuf [Configuration] of Ze’ir Anpin (נַעֲשָׂה פַּרְצוּף זְעֵיר אַנְפִּין), through the Zivug [Union] of Abba and Imma (עַל יְדֵי זִוּוּג אַבָּא וְאִמָּא), and from the Nekudat Malchut [Point of Malchut] of the Olam haTohu [World of Chaos] (וּמִן נְקוּדַת מַלְכוּת שֶׁל עוֹלָם הַתֹּהוּ), were made the Partzuf of Leah and the Partzuf of Rachel (נַעֲשׂוּ פַּרְצוּף לֵאָה וּפַרְצוּף רָחֵל). And Rachel emerged after the first Ibbur [Gestation] together with Ze’ir Anpin [Ze’ir Anpin] (וְרָחֵל יָצְאָה אַחַר עִיבּוּר רִאשׁוֹן עִם זְעֵיר אַנְפִּין), attached to his back (דְּבוּקָה מֵאֲחוֹרָיו), from the navel and below (מֵהַטַּבּוּר וּלְמַטָּה), and Leah also emerged with him from the second Ibbur [Gestation] (וְלֵאָה יָצְאָה עִמּוֹ גַּם כֵּן מֵעִיבּוּר שֵׁנִי), beginning from the back of the neck (מִתְחִלַּת הָעֹרֶף), from the place of the Luz (מִן מְקוֹם הַלּוּז), and ending at the navel (וּמְסַיֶּמֶת עִם הַטַּבּוּר), up to the head of Rachel (עַד רֹאשׁ רָחֵל), and Leah is the secret of the knot of the Tefillin [Phylacteries] that is on the back of the neck (וְלֵאָה הִיא סוֹד קֶשֶׁר שֶׁל תְּפִלִּין שֶׁבָּעֹרֶף). And both of them together with Ze’ir Anpin [Ze’ir Anpin] were made through the first and second Ibbur [Gestation] (וּשְׁנֵיהֶם עִם זְעֵיר אַנְפִּין נַעֲשׂוּ עַל יְדֵי עִיבּוּר רִאשׁוֹן וְשֵׁנִי), which are the first and second Katnut [Smallness] (הוּא קַטְנוּת רִאשׁוֹן וְשֵׁנִי), and through the first and second Gadlut [Greatness] (וְעַל יְדֵי גַּדְלוּת רִאשׁוֹן וְשֵׁנִי), and after this the five Chasadim [Kindnesses] and the five Gevurot [Severities] emerge (וְאַחַר זֶה יוֹצְאִים הַחֲמֵשָׁה חֲסָדִים וְהַחֲמֵשָׁה גְּבוּרוֹת), for his Zivug [Union] with his Nukvah [Female] (לְזִוּוּגוֹ עִם נוּקְבֵיהּ), and afterward one Parsa [Partition] was made (וְאַחַר כָּךְ נַעֲשׂוּ פַּרְסָה אַחַת), namely a Parokhet [Curtain] between the Olam haAtzilut [World of Emanation] and the Olam haBeri’ah [World of Creation] (דְּהַיְינוּ פָּרֹכֶת בֵּין עוֹלָם הָאֲצִילוּת לְעוֹלָם הַבְּרִיאָה).

And behold, in the worlds of Beri’ah, Yetzirah, and Asiyah there are only seven alone, permanently (וְהִנֵּה עוֹלָמוֹת בי״ע אֵין שָׁם אֶלָּא שֶׁבַע לְבַד בִּקְבִיעוּת), because they had no Reshimu [Impression] except from the seven that fell (לִהְיוֹת שֶׁלֹּא הָיָה לָהֶם רֹשֶׁם אֶלָּא מִשֶּׁבַע שֶׁנָּפְלוּ), and behold, the Netzach, Hod, Yesod of Malchut built these three worlds of Beri’ah, Yetzirah, and Asiyah (וְהִנֵּה נה״י דְּמַלְכוּת בָּנוּ שָׁלֹשׁ עוֹלָמוֹת אֵלֶּה בי״ע), for from the Chokhmah, Binah, Da’at of the Netzach, Hod, Yesod of Malchut (כִּי מֵחַבַּ״ד שֶׁל נה״י דְּמַלְכוּת), which are the nine Sefirot (שֶׁהֵם הַתֵּשַׁע סְפִירוֹת), nine Sefirot were built in the Olam haBeri’ah [World of Creation] (נִבְנוּ תֵּשַׁע סְפִירוֹת בְּעוֹלָם הַבְּרִיאָה). For from the Chokhmah, Binah, Da’at of Netzach was built the right column (כִּי מֵחַבַּ״ד דְּנֵצַח נִבְנָה הַקַּו יָמִין), and from the Chokhmah, Binah, Da’at of Hod was built the left column (וּמֵחַבַּ״ד דְּהוֹד נִבְנָה קַו הַשְּׂמֹאל), and from the Chokhmah, Binah, Da’at of Yesod was built the middle column (וּמֵחַבַּ״ד דִּיסוֹד נִבְנָה הַקַּו הָאֶמְצָעִי), and because they did not find a Reshimu [Impression] of Chokhmah, Binah, Da’at in Beri’ah (וּמִפְּנֵי שֶׁלֹּא מָצְאוּ רֹשֶׁם שֶׁל חַבַּ״ד בִּבְרִיאָה), the Netzach, Hod, Yesod did not have the power to make them strong (לֹא הָיָה כֹּחַ בנה״י לַעֲשׂוֹתָם חֲזָקִים), but they remained in the secret of Hiyuli [Primordial Potentiality] (אֶלָּא נִשְׁאֲרוּ בְּסוֹד הִיּוּלִי). And at a time of favor they possess a great light (וּבְעֵת רָצוֹן יֵשׁ לָהֶם אוֹר גָּדוֹל), and there are fourteen Heikhalot [Palaces] within it (וְיֵשׁ בּוֹ י״ד הֵיכָלוֹת), for the seven Heikhalot [Palaces] of the male were made from the Malchut of all the six extremities (כִּי ז׳ הֵיכְלֵי הַזָּכָר הֵם נַעֲשׂוּ מִמַּלְכוּת שֶׁל כָּל הַשֵּׁשׁ קְצָווֹת), and the light remaining from each Sefirah [Emanation] remains as Ohr Penimi [Inner Light] within the Heikhal [Palace] itself (וְהָאוֹר נִשְׁאָר מִכָּל סְפִירָה הוּא בְּסוֹד אוֹר פְּנִימִי בְּתוֹךְ הַהֵיכָל עַצְמוֹ). And in the six extremities of Beri’ah there are only six Heikhalot [Palaces] (וּבְשֵׁשׁ קְצָווֹת שֶׁל בְּרִיאָה לֹא יֵשׁ אֶלָּא שֵׁשׁ הֵיכָלוֹת), and these are their names from above downward (וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹתָם מִלְמַעְלָה לְמַטָּה): Kodesh haKodashim [Holy of Holies] (קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים), Heikhal haRatzon [Palace of Will] (הֵיכָל הָרָצוֹן), Heikhal Ahavah [Palace of Love] (הֵיכָל אַהֲבָה), Heikhal haZechut [Palace of Merit] (הֵיכָל זְכוּת), Heikhal haNogah [Palace of Radiance] (הֵיכָל הַנֹּגַה), Heikhal Etzem haShamayim [Palace of the Essence of Heaven] (הֵיכָל עֶצֶם הַשָּׁמַיִם). But the Malchut of Beri’ah is female (אֲבָל מַלְכוּת דִּבְרִיאָה הִיא נְקֵבָה), and from each of her Sefirot [Emanations] one Heikhal [Palace] was made (וּמִכָל סְפִירָה שֶׁלָּהּ נַעֲשָׂה הֵיכָל אֶחָד), for she receives form and likeness (כִּי הִיא מְקַבֶּלֶת צוּרָה וּדְמוּת), for Heikhal [Palace] has the numerical value of Adonai (כִּי הֵיכָל גִּימַטְרִיָא אֲדֹנָי), which is Malchut (הִיא מַלְכוּת). And behold, from her Chokhmah, Binah, Da’at one Heikhal [Palace] was made (וְהִנֵּה חַבַּ״ד שֶׁלָּהּ נַעֲשָׂה מִמֶּנּוּ הֵיכָל אֶחָד), called Heikhal Elohei Yisrael [Palace of the God of Israel] (הַנִּקְרָא הֵיכָל אֱלֹהֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל), and it completes the number of the seven upper ones (וְהוּא מַשְׁלִים מִנְיַן שִׁבְעָה הָעֶלְיוֹנִים), and it is the lowest beneath them (וְהוּא הַתַּחְתּוֹן לְמַטָּה מֵהֶם), and afterward there are seven Heikhalot [Palaces] of the female (וְאַחַר כָּךְ הֵם שֶׁבַע הֵיכָלוֹת שֶׁל הַנְּקֵבָה), from Chesed until the Malchut of Malchut (מֵחֶסֶד עַד מַלְכוּת דְּמַלְכוּת). And behold, the six upper ones of the male and the female are all called by identical names (וְהִנֵּה הַשִּׁשָּׁה עֶלְיוֹנִים שֶׁל הַזָּכָר וְהַנְּקֵבָה נִקְרָאִים כֻּלָּם בְּשֵׁמוֹת שָׁוִים), however, the lowest Heikhal [Palace] among the upper ones is called Heikhal Elohei Yisrael [Palace of the God of Israel] (אַךְ הַהֵיכָל הַתַּחְתּוֹן מִן הָעֶלְיוֹנִים נִקְרָא אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל), and the lowest among the lower ones is called Livnat haSapir [Pavement of Sapphire] (וְהַתַּחְתּוֹן מִן הַתַּחְתּוֹנִים נִקְרָא לִבְנַת הַסַּפִּיר), and from there one Parsa [Partition] extends (וּמִשָּׁם נִמְשָׁךְ פַּרְסָה אַחַת). And the Heikhal Kodesh haKodashim [Palace of the Holy of Holies], which is Chesed [Kindness] (וְהֵיכָל קֹדֶשׁ קָדָשִׁים שֶׁהוּא חֶסֶד), is included of three (נִכְלָל מִג׳), from Atik and Abba and Imma of Beri’ah (מֵעַתִּיק וְאַבָּא וְאִמָּא דִּבְרִיאָה), just as with the Chesed of the Malchut of Adam Kadmon [Primordial Adam], which is included of her Chokhmah, Binah, Da’at (כְּמוֹ אֵצֶל חֶסֶד דְּמַלְכוּת אָדָם קַדְמוֹן שֶׁהוּא כָּלוּל מֵחַבַּ״ד שֶׁלָּהּ). And the Parsa [Partition] that we mentioned is a separating screen between Beri’ah and Yetzirah (וְהַפַּרְסָה שֶׁאָמַרְנוּ הוּא מָסָךְ מַבְדִּיל בֵּין בְּרִיאָה לִיצִירָה), and in this manner afterward, Gedulah, Gevurah, Tiferet of the Netzach, Hod, Yesod of the Malchut of Atzilut rectified the nine Sefirot [Emanations] in the Olam haYetzirah [World of Formation] (גג״ת דנה״י דמלכות דאצילות, תקנו תשעה ספירות בעולם היצירה), namely according to this manner that we have stated (דְּהַיְינוּ עַל זֶה הַדֶּרֶךְ שֶׁאָמַרְנוּ).

And behold, the six of the Malchut of Beri’ah became the head of Yetzirah (וְהִנֵּה ו׳ דְּמַלְכוּת דִּבְרִיאָה נַעֲשׂוּ לְרֹאשׁ הַיְצִירָה), Atik Yomin [Ancient of Days] of Yetzirah (עַתִּיק יוֹמִין דִּיצִירָה), and within them is the Mishkan [Tabernacle] of the Na’ar [Youth] (וּבָהֶם הַמִּשְׁכָּן שֶׁל הַנַּעַר), and within it are seven dwellings (וּבוֹ שִׁבְעָה מְדוֹרִין), and afterward they built the seven Heikhalot [Palaces] mentioned in the Zohar (וּבָנוּ אַחַר כָּךְ ז׳ הֵיכָלוֹת הַנִּזְכָּרִים בַּזֹּהַר), and Metatron clothes the entire Olam haYetzirah [World of Formation] from the outside (וּמֶטַטְרוֹן מַלְבִּישׁ מִבַּחוּץ כָּל עוֹלָם הַיְצִירָה), and encompasses it (וְכוֹלֵל אוֹתוֹ). And upon him is a garment whose name is Chashmal (וְעָלָיו יֵשׁ לְבוּשׁ אֲשֶׁר שְׁמוֹ חַשְׁמַל), and afterward another Parsa [Partition] was made (וְאַחַר כָּךְ נַעֲשׂוּ פַּרְסָה אַחֵר), to separate between Yetzirah and Asiyah (לְהַבְדִּיל בֵּין יְצִירָה לַעֲשִׂיָּה), and from the Netzach, Hod, Yesod of the Netzach, Hod, Yesod of Malchut (וּמִן נה״י דְּנה״י דְּמַלְכוּת), which are also nine Sefirot [Emanations] (שֶׁהֵם גַּם כֵּן תֵּשַׁע סְפִירוֹת), they built nine Sefirot [Emanations] in the Olam haAsiyah [World of Action] (בָּנוּ תֵּשַׁע סְפִירוֹת בְּעוֹלָם הָעֲשִׂיָּה), according to the manner that we explained in Beri’ah and Yetzirah (עַל דֶּרֶךְ שֶׁבֵּאַרְנוּ בִּבְרִיאָה וִיצִירָה).

It follows that there remained in the Olam haBeri’ah [World of Creation], in its head (נִמְצָא נִשְׁאַר בְּעוֹלָם הַבְּרִיאָה בְּרֹאשׁוֹ), that which is above the Netzach, Hod, Yesod of the Malchut of Atzilut (מַה שֶּׁלְּמַעְלָה מִנה״י דְּמַלְכוּת דַּאֲצִילוּת), and they overshadow Beri’ah (וְהֵם חוֹפְפִים עַל הַבְּרִיאָה), like the Gulgalta [Skull], Reisha De-La Ityada [The Unknowable Head], Ein, and Arich (כְּמוֹ הַגֻּלְגַּלְתָּא וְרֵישָׁא דְּלָא אִתְיְדַע וְאֵין וַאֲרִיךְ). And behold, Sandalfon rules over the entire Olam haAsiyah [World of Action] (וְהִנֵּה סַנְדַּלְפוֹן הוּא מוֹשֵׁל בְּכָל עוֹלָם הָעֲשִׂיָּה), and every Heikhal Chesed [Palace of Kindness] of Beri’ah, Yetzirah, and Asiyah is included of three (וְכָל הֵיכָל חֶסֶד שֶׁל בי״ע הוּא כָּלוּל מִג׳), as I have explained (כְּמוֹ שֶׁבֵּאַרְתִּי), and behold, Imma nests in the Kursaya [Throne] (וְהִנֵּה אִמָּא מְקַנְּנָא בְּכוּרְסְיָיא), and Ze’ir Anpin in Yetzirah (וּזְעֵיר בִּיצִירָה), and Malchut in Asiyah (וּמַלְכוּת בַּעֲשִׂיָּה), and every Atik of Beri’ah, Yetzirah, and Asiyah consists of seven dwellings (וְכָל עַתִּיק דבי״ע הוּא שִׁבְעָה מְדוֹרִין), and beneath them are seven Heikhalot [Palaces] (וְתַחְתֵּיהֶם ז׳ הֵיכָלוֹת), thus they are fourteen in every place (נִמְצָא שֶׁהֵם י״ד בְּכָל מָקוֹם). And seven Ma’onot [Dwelling Places] in Asiyah (וְשִׁבְעָה מְעוֹנוֹת בַּעֲשִׂיָּה), where the Ofanim [Wheels] dwell (אֲשֶׁר שָׁם הָאוֹפַנִּים יוֹשְׁבִים), and this is the spiritual Asiyah (וְהִיא הָעֲשִׂיָּה הָרוּחָנִית), and after it comes the physical Asiyah (וְאַחֲרֶיהָ הָעֲשִׂיָּה הַגַּשְׁמִית), seven firmaments of the seven wandering stars (שִׁבְעָה רְקִיעִים שֶׁל שִׁבְעָה כּוֹכְבֵי לֶכֶת), and above them the belt of the constellations (וַעֲלֵיהֶם חֲגוֹרַת הַמַּזָּלוֹת). And there is an Upper Gan Eden [Garden of Eden] and a Lower Gan Eden [Garden of Eden] (וְיֵשׁ גַּן עֵדֶן עֶלְיוֹן וְגַן עֵדֶן תַּחְתּוֹן), and an Upper Gehinnom and a Lower Gehinnom (וְגֵיהִנָּם עֶלְיוֹן וְגֵיהִנָּם תַּחְתּוֹן), and in each one are seven dwellings (וּבְכָל אֶחָד שִׁבְעָה מְדוֹרִין), and Gan Eden [Garden of Eden] and Gehinnom are beside one another (וְהַגַּן עֵדֶן וְהַגֵּיהִנָּם הֵם זֶה אֵצֶל זֶה), this is the secret of: “the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil” (הוּא סוֹד עֵץ הַדַּעַת טוֹב וָרָע), adjacent to one another (סְמוּכִים זֶה לָזֶה). And the seven lands are one above another (וְהַשִּׁבְעָה אֲרָצוֹת הֵם זוֹ לְמַעְלָה מִזּוֹ), and between them revolve the Lower Gan Eden [Garden of Eden] and Gehinnom (וּבֵינַיְיהוּ סוֹבְבִים גַּן עֵדֶן וְגֵיהִנָּם הַתַּחְתּוֹן), each dwelling corresponding to one land (כָּל מָדוֹר הוּא מְכֻוָּן כְּנֶגֶד אֶרֶץ אַחַת), all of them surrounding one another (כֻּלָּם מַקִּיפִים זֶה אֶת זֶה), until it is found that the navel of the earth is within and in the middle, surrounded by them all (עַד שֶׁנִּמְצָא טַבּוּר הָאָרֶץ בְּתוֹךְ וּבָאֶמְצַע מוּקֶפֶת מִכֻּולָּם).

And the Ba’al haRatzon [Master of Will] surrounds them all (וּבַעַל הָרָצוֹן מַקִּיף אֶת כֻּלָּם), and concerning them it is said (וַעֲלֵיהֶם נֶאֱמַר): “How manifold are Your works, Hashem; in wisdom You have made them all” (מָה רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ י״י כֻּלָּם בְּחָכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ) (Psalms 104:24), and He is the Praised One, the Glorified One, and the Exalted One from ancient days, from the days of eternity (וְהוּא הַמְשֻׁבָּח וְהַמְפֹאָר וְהַמִּתְנַשֵּׂא מֵאָז מִימוֹת עוֹלָם), Amen, and so may it be His Will (אָמֵן וְכֵן יְהִי רָצוֹן).

Completed. Emek haMelekh [Valley of the King] has the gematria of Hirtz, my surname (סליק עמק המלך גימטריא הירץ שם חניכתי). And also, 'the arrangement of Emek haMelekh' (סֵדֶר עֵמֶק הַמֶּלֶךְ), together with the kolel [inclusive count], has the gematria of Naftali (וְגַם סֵדֶר עֵמֶק הַמֶּלֶךְ עִם הַכּוֹלֵל גִּימַטְרִיָא נַפְתָּלִי).”
