Daf 27a (דַּף כ״ז ע״א)
And it was rectified from Ze'ir Anpin and His Nukvah, who are the mystery of the trees of Lebanon (וְאִיהוּ נִתְקַּן מֵהַזְּעֵיר וְנוּקְבֵיהּ שֶׁהֵם סוֹד עֲצֵי לְבָנוֹן), and this is the mystery of the verse, “King Shlomo made Himself an Appiryon [Palanquin] from the trees of Lebanon” (וְזֶהוּ סוֹד הַכָּתוּב אַפִּרְיוֹן עָשָׂה לוֹ הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה מֵעֲצֵי הַלְּבָנוֹן) (Song of Songs 3:9), and the Appiryon [Palanquin] is also in the Atika of Atzilut (וְאַפִּרְיוֹן הוּא גַּם כֵּן בְּעַתִּיקָא דַּאֲצִילוּת), and afterward it was established in the Atik of the World of Beri'ah (וְאַחַ״כ נִקְבַּע בְּעַתִּיק שֶׁל עוֹלָם הַבְּרִיאָה), except that here the expression Mattah [Bed] does not apply, which is the mystery of the Appiryon [Palanquin], as though without a head (אֶלָּא שֶׁאֵין כָּאן שַׁיָּכוּת שֶׁל לְשׁוֹן מִטָּה שֶׁהוּא סוֹד אַפִּרְיוֹן שֶׁהוּא בְּלִי רֹאשׁ כִּבְיָכוֹל), rather this Appiryon [Palanquin] is concealed in the Atika of Atzilut (אֶלָּא שֶׁאַפִּרְיוֹן זֶה הוּא נֶעְלָם בְּעַתִּיקָא דַּאֲצִילוּת), and there in Beri'ah Rachel hands over her signs to Leah (וְשָׁם בִּבְרִיאָה רָחֵל מוֹסֶרֶת סִימָנֶיהָ לְלֵאָה), and she is, as it were, beneath the Mattah [Bed] (וְהִיא תַּחַת הַמִּטָּה כִּבְיָכוֹל), and afterward the Mem and Samekh of the Tablets are joined to it, and they acquire Mochin [Mentalities], which are the head (וְאַחַ״כ נִתְחַבֵּר אֵלָיו מֵ״ם וְסָמֶ״ךְ שֶׁבַּלּוּחוֹת וְקוֹנִים מוֹחִין שֶׁהוּא הָרֹאשׁ), and the Mem and Samekh are the two supports that uphold all the worlds and make the Appiryon [Palanquin] upon their head (וְהַמֵּ״ם וְסָמֶ״ךְ הֵם הַתְּרֵין סַמְכִין הַסּוֹמְכִים כָּל הָעוֹלָמוֹת וְעוֹשִׂים אַפִּרְיוֹן בְּרֹאשָׁם), but in the Heikhal [Palace] of Elohei Yisrael, which is the head of His Nukvah, there the expression Appiryon [Palanquin] is applicable, because it is the last of the Supernal Heikhalot [Palaces], and besides it there are only six Heikhalot [Palaces] (אֲבָל בְּהֵיכַל אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁהוּא רֹאשׁ נוּקְבֵיהּ שָׁם שַׁיָּךְ לְשׁוֹן אַפִּרְיוֹן כִּי הוּא סוֹף הַהֵיכָלוֹת שֶׁלְּמַעְלָה וְזוּלָתוֹ אֵינָם אֶלָּא שִׁשָּׁה הֵיכָלוֹת), for the head is not hers (כִּי הָרֹאשׁ אֵינָהּ שֶׁלָּהּ), and there are no Mem and Samekh of the Tablets there, which are in the word Afarsemon [Persimmon Balsam] (וְאֵין שָׁם מֵ״ם וְסָמֶ״ךְ שֶׁבַּלּוּחוֹת שֶׁהֵם בְּמִלַּת אַפַרְסְמוֹן), because she requires support and assistance from the side of the Male, as is known (כִּי הִיא צְרִיכָה סָמֶךְ וְסַעַד מִצִּדּוֹ שֶׁל הַזָּכָר כַּיָּדוּעַ), and he receives from the Netzach of Imma the Name Havayah, whose numerical value is Lu'ach [Tablet], as follows: Yod, Vav, Dalet; Heh, Alef; Vav, Vav; Heh, Alef (וְהוּא מְקַבֵּל מִנֵּצַח דְּאִמָּא שֵׁם הוי״ה עוֹלֶה לוּ״ח כָּזֶה יוּד הָא וו הָא), and in the Hod of Imma there is the Name Ehyeh in its squared form, which equals Lu'ach [Tablet] (וּבְהוֹד דְּאִמָּא יֵשׁ שֵׁם אֶהְיֶה בְּרִבּוּעוֹ הָעוֹלֶה לוּ״ח), and Ze'ir Anpin also receives this Name (וּזְעֵיר מְקַבֵּל גַּם כֵּן הַשֵּׁם הַזֶּה), and this is the mystery of Ze'ir Anpin receiving the two Tablets, which are the writing of Elohim (וְזֶהוּ סוֹד ז״א הַמְקַבֵּל שְׁנֵי לוּחוֹת שֶׁהֵם מִכְתַּב אֱלֹהִים), which is sweetened Judgment (שֶׁהֵם דִּין מְמוּתָּק), and everything is made from the trees of Lebanon, from the Reshimu [Impression] of the Inner Light of the seven Lights of the Ma'nin Tevirin [Shattered Vessels] (וְהַכֹּל נַעֲשֶׂה מֵעֲצֵי הַלְּבָנוֹן מֵרְשִׁימוּ דְּאוֹר פְּנִימִי שֶׁל ז׳ אוֹרוֹת דְּמָאנִין תְּבִירִין), and from them came the seven upper and lower Heikhalot [Palaces] (וּמֵהֶם הַשִּׁבְעָה הֵיכָלוֹת הָעֶלְיוֹנִים וְהַתַּחְתּוֹנִים), and afterward its body itself was rectified from Ze'ir Anpin and His Nukvah (דְּאַחַ״כ גּוּפוֹ נִתְקַּן מִזּ״א וְנוּקְבֵיהּ מַמָּשׁ), and this is the meaning of, “Appiryon [Palanquin]—this is the rectification of the lower world,” namely the head of the Nukvah of Beri'ah (וְזֶהוּ אוֹמְרוֹ אַפִּרְיוֹן דָּא תִּקּוּנָא דְּעָלְמָא תַּתָּאָה שֶׁל הָרֹאשׁ נוּקְבֵיהּ דִּבְרִיאָה). For when the Mochin [Mentalities] are not present, the entire world is in sorrow and sighing (כִּי בִּזְמַן שֶׁהַמּוֹחִין אֵינָם מְצוּיִין כָּל הָעוֹלָם בְּיָגוֹן וַאֲנָחָה), and the souls that are in the Heikhal [Palace] of Elohei Yisrael (וְהַנְּשָׁמוֹת שֶׁבְּהֵיכַל אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל), for there we find, “Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord, Hashem, the God of Israel” (כִּי שָׁם מָצִינוּ שָׁם יֵרָאֶה כָּל זְכוּרְךָ אֶת פְּנֵי הָאָדוֹן יהוה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל) (Exodus 34:23), do not delight themselves with the Holy One, blessed be He (אֵינָם מִשְׁתַּעַשְׁעִים עִם הַקָּבָּ״ה), because they have no support or assistance from the legs of the Male (כִּי אֵין לָהֶם סָמֶךְ וְסַעַד מֵהָרַגְלַיִם שֶׁל הַזָּכָר), and they are the mystery of the Samekh and Mem in the word Afarsemon [Persimmon Balsam] (וְהֵם סוֹד הַסָּמֶ״ךְ וְהַמֵּ״ם בְּמִלַּת אַפַרְסְמוֹן)
