Chapter One Hundred Thirty (פֶּרֶק מֵאָה וּשְׁלֹשִׁים)

And now know (וְעַתָּה דַּע), that the striking which strikes from the first third of the Tiferet of Ze’ir Anpin, to make its Nukvah (שֶׁהַבְּטִישָׁה שֶׁבּוֹטֶשֶׁת מִשְּׁלִישׁ רִאשׁוֹן שֶׁל תּ״ת זְעֵיר, לַעֲשׂוֹת נוּקְבֵיהּ), is through the illumination of the Name Ehyeh in the filling of Hehs (הִיא בְּהֶאָרַת שֵׁם אֶהְיֶ״ה בְּמִלּוּי הֶהִי״ן), and together with the kolel [inclusive addition] (וְעִם הַכּוֹלֵל), it equals the numerical value of Nekev [opening] (עוֹלֶה כְּמִנְיַן נֶקֶב), and there is the opening from which its Nukvah emerges from behind him (וְשָׁם הוּא הַנֶּקֶב שֶׁיּוֹצֵאת נוּקְבֵיהּ מֵאֲחוֹרָיו). And you must also know (וְגַם צָרִיךְ שֶׁתֵּדַע), that Ze’ir Anpin, from its Keter until the place where the Yesod of Imma is completed (שֶׁזּ״א מֵהַכֶּתֶר שֶׁלּוֹ עַד מָקוֹם שֶׁנִּשְׁלַם יְסוֹד אִמָּא), is called Yisrael (נִקְרָא יִשְׂרָאֵל), and from the end of the first third of Tiferet and below it is called Yaakov (וּמִסּוֹף שְׁלִישׁ רִאשׁוֹן שֶׁל תּ״ת וּלְמַטָּה נִקְרָא יַעֲקֹב), as I said above (כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמַרְתִּי לְמַעְלָה). And likewise, from the Keter of Ze’ir Anpin until the place of the third of Tiferet behind Ze’ir Anpin (וְגַם הוּא מֵהַכֶּתֶר ז״א עַד מְקוֹם שְׁלִישׁ תּ״ת מֵאֲחוֹר ז״א), as you will know with the help of the Holy One Blessed Be He and Shekhinteh (כְּמוֹ שֶׁתֵּדַע בְּעֶזְרַת קב״ה וּשְׁכִינְתֵּיהּ), and the Partzuf of the Nukvah of Yaakov is called Rachel (וּפַרְצוּף נוּקְבֵיהּ שֶׁל יַעֲקֹב נִקְרֵאת רָחֵל), which emerges “from between the two arms” (מִבֵּין תְּרֵין דְּרוֹעִין) (Zohar, Bamidbar 141b), as stated above, as is known (כִּדְלְעֵיל כַּנּוֹדָע).
