Chapter Fourteen (פֶּרֶק אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר)

And because from Imma judgments are aroused (וּלְפִי שֶׁאִמָּא דִּינִין מִתְעָרִין מִינָּהּ), behold, the sparks of the Nekudot [Points], which are the aspects of Elohim (הִנֵּה נִיצוֹצֵי הַנְּקוּדוֹת, שֶׁהֵם בְּחִינוֹת אֱלֹהִים), are those that govern the Havayah (הֵם הַמַּנְהִיגִים הַהֲוָיָ״ה), or it may be (אוֹ יִהְיֶה), because Ze’ir Anpin is within her in the secret of Nekudot [Points] (לְפִי שֶׁזְּעֵיר הוּא בָהּ בְּסוֹד נְקוּדוֹת), and through the union of Imma he acquires a Partzuf and growth (וְעַל יְדֵי זִוּוּג אִמָּא קוֹנֶה לוֹ פַּרְצוּף וְהַגְדָּלָה). Also, the union of Abba and Imma was in two aspects (גַּם זִוּוּג אַבָּא וְאִמָּא הָיָה בִּשְׁתֵּי בְחִינוֹת); in the Nekudot of Havayah and in the Nekudot of Elohim (בִּנְקוּדוֹת הֲוָיָ״ה, וּבִנְקוּדוֹת אֱלֹהִים), and from the root of the Nekudot of Havayah there spread forth and was made a Partzuf (וּמִשֹּׁרֶשׁ הַנְּקוּדוֹת שֶׁל הֲוָיָ״ה נִתְפַּשֵּׁט וְנַעֲשָׂה פַּרְצוּף), and the Nekudot of Elohim remained without a Partzuf (וְנִשְׁאֲרוּ נְקוּדוֹת שֶׁל אֱלֹהִים בְּלִי פַּרְצוּף). For Ze’ir Anpin and Nukvah are in the secret of Katnut [Smallness] (שֶׁזְּעֵיר וְנוּקְבֵיהּ הֵם בְּסוֹד קַטְנוּת), and at that time they draw nourishment from the Name Elohim (וְאוֹתוֹ הַפַּעַם הֵם יוֹנְקִים מִשֵּׁם אֱלֹהִים), therefore within her there is Havayah vocalized with the vowels of Elohim (לָזֶה יֵשׁ בָּהּ הֲוָיָ״ה בְּנִקּוּדוֹת אֱלֹהִים). For the Nekudot [Points] that came in the secret of Havayah are concealed within Imma, essence within essence (כִּי הַנְּקוּדוֹת שֶׁבָּאוּ בְּסוֹד הֲוָיָ״ה נֶעְלָמוֹת בְּתוֹךְ אִמָּא עֶצֶם בְּעֶצֶם), and from them the Havayah spread forth and came into being there (שֶׁמֵּהֶם נִתְפַּשֵּׁט וְנִתְהַוָּה שָׁם הֲוָיָ״ה), while the Nekudot [Points] of Elohim remained beneath it (נִשְׁאֲרוּ נְקוּדוֹת שֶׁל אֱלֹהִים תַּחְתֶּיהָ). And the reason is (וְהַטַּעַם הוּא), that through her all the worlds are governed (שֶׁעַל יָדָהּ מִתְנַהֲגִים כָּל הָעוֹלָמוֹת), and especially Ze’ir Anpin and Nukvah in their Katnut [Smallness] draw nourishment from the Name Elohim (וּבִפְרָט זְעֵיר וְנוּקְבֵיהּ בְּקַטְנוּתָם יוֹנְקִים מִשֵּׁם אֱלֹהִים), from her vessel (מִכְּלִי שֶׁלָּהּ). And in their Gadlut [Greatness] they draw nourishment from the Name Havayah (וּבִגְדְלוּתָם יוֹנְקִים מִשֵּׁם הֲוָיָ״ה), namely from her Ohr Penimi [Inner Light] (דְּהַיְינוּ אוֹר פְּנִימִי שֶׁלָּהּ), but the Name Havayah is exceedingly concealed within her (אֲבָל שֵׁם הֲוָיָ״ה נֶעְלָם בְּתוֹכָהּ מְאֹד), because from her judgments are aroused (לִהְיוֹת כִּי דִּינִין מִתְעָרִין מִינָּהּ), therefore the judgments are aroused beneath the Havayah that governs her (לָכֵן מִתְעוֹרְרִים הַדִּינִין תַּחַת הַהֲוָיָ״ה הַמַּנְהִיגִין אוֹתָהּ), in her bestowal to those below (בְּהַשְׁפָּעָתָהּ לַתַּחְתּוֹנִים).
