Daf 35b (דַּף ל״ה ע״ב)

For the first time, the letters and the excesses of the Shattered Vessels were cast away through the Zivug [Union] of Abba and Imma (כִּי בַּפַּעַם הָרִאשׁוֹנָה נִדְחוּ אוֹתִיּוֹת וּמוֹתָרוֹת שֶׁל שִׁבְרֵי כֵּלִים מִזִּוּוּג אַבָּא וְאִמָּא), and before this came the ascent of the Light of the sparks of purity, when the food was separated from the refuse through the folding of the legs of Arich (וְקוֹדֶם לָזֶה הַעֲלָאַת אוֹר נִיצוֹצֵי טָהֳרָה שֶׁנִּבְרַר אֹכֶל מִתּוֹךְ הַפְּסוֹלֶת ע״י קִפּוּל רַגְלֵי אֲרִיךְ), just as that refiner must do (כְּמוֹ שֶׁצָּרִיךְ הָאוּמָן הַצּוֹרֵף הַלָּזֶה), until that Zohama [Impurity] remained by itself (עַד דְּאִשְׁתָּאַר הַהוּא זוֹהֲמָא לְעַצְמוֹ), and this is the mystery of vomit and excrement without a place (וְהוּא סוֹד קִיא צוֹאָה בְּלִי מָקוֹם), for it no longer has any hold upon Holiness after the Holiness has been separated and ascended above, leaving the Zohama [Impurity] by itself (שֶׁאֵין לוֹ אֲחִיזָה יוֹתֵר בַּקְּדֻשָּׁה מֵאַחַר שֶׁנִּתְבָּרֵר הַקְּדֻשָּׁה וְהָלְכָה לְמַעְלָה וְנִשְׁאֲרָה הַזּוֹהֲמָא לְעַצְמָהּ), until there remained no impurity within it at all (עַד דְּלֵית בֵּיהּ זוֹהֲמָא כְּלָל), its explanation is: within the silver itself (פֵּרוּשׁ בְּאוֹר הַכֶּסֶף עַצְמוֹ), and from it were made the four hundred Worlds of Longing (וְנַעֲשָׂה מִמֶּנּוּ אַרְבַּע מֵאָה עָלְמִין דְּכִיסּוּפִין), and the expression Zohama [Impurity] denotes the scum that comes out of the vessel in which food is cooked, descending below and being expelled by the heat of the fire, which is the mystery of the Mayin Nukvin [Feminine Waters] (וּלְשׁוֹן זוֹהֲמָא יוֹרֶה עַל הַזּוֹהֲמָא הַיּוֹצֵא מִן הַכְּלִי שֶׁמְּבַשְּׁלִין בְּתוֹכוֹ הַמַּאֲכָל וְיוֹרֵד לְמַטָּה וְנִדְחֶה מִמֶּנּוּ עַל יְדֵי חִמּוּם הָאֵשׁ שֶׁהוּא סוֹד מַיִין נוּקְבִין), thus, “This Tohu was refined and purified” (כָּךְ הַאי תְּהוּ אִתְבְּרַר וְאִצְטָרֵף), and from it emerged a mighty wind that breaks mountains and shatters rocks, the one seen by Eliyahu (וְנָפַק מִינֵיהּ רוּחַ חָזָק מְפָרֵק הָרִים וּמְשַׁבֵּר סְלָעִים הַהוּא דַּחֲמָא אֵלִיָּהוּ) (I Kings 19:11).

Its explanation is: through Imma, who is also called Tohu, for she is the Land of Edom, from which Judgments are aroused (פֵּרוּשׁ ע״י אִמָּא הַנִּקְרֵאת גַּם כֵּן תֹּהוּ כִּי הִיא אֶרֶץ אֱדוֹם דְּדִינִין מִתְעָרִין מִינָּה), over the World of Tohu (עַל עוֹלָם הַתֹּהוּ), and she is the Green Line that surrounds the whole world (וְהִיא הַקַּו יָרוֹק דְּאַסְחַר כָּל עָלְמָא). Its explanation is: Ze'ir Anpin and His Nukvah are called “the world,” in the mystery of the six extremities of the world, namely east, west, north, south, above, and below (פֵּרוּשׁ זְעֵיר וְנוּקְבֵיהּ הַנִּקְרָאִים עוֹלָם בְּסוֹד שֵׁשׁ קְצָווֹת שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָעוֹלָם דְּהַיְינוּ מִזְרָח מַעֲרָב צָפוֹן דָּרוֹם מַעְלָה מַטָּה), and the mystery is Ze'ir Anpin clothed within His Nukvah (וְסוֹד בִּזְעֵיר הַמִּתְלַבֵּשׁ בְּנוּקְבֵיהּ), while Imma encompasses and surrounds them (וְאִמָּא כּוֹלְלָם וּמַקִּיפָם), and through her Abba separates the food from the refuse (וְעַל יָדָהּ אַבָּא בּוֹרֵר אֹכֶל מִתּוֹךְ הַפְּסוֹלֶת), its explanation is: through the Zivug [Union] of Abba and Imma (פֵּרוּשׁ ע״י זִוּוּג אַבָּא וְאִמָּא), and this Tohu, namely the Klipah that came from the World of Tohu, is refined from within this Tohu, namely the Green Line, the mystery of Imma surrounding the World of Atzilut with her screen and dwelling in the World of Beri'ah (וְהַאי תֹּהוּ הִיא הַקְּלִיפָּה שֶׁבָּאָה מֵעוֹלָם הַתֹּהוּ נִבְרֶרֶת מִגּוֹ הַאי תֹּהוּ שֶׁהוּא קַו יָרוֹק סוֹד אִמָּא הַמַּקֶּפֶת בְּמָסָךְ שֶׁלָּהּ לְעוֹלָם אֲצִילוּת וּמְקַנֶּנֶת בְּעוֹלָם הַבְּרִיאָה), and she is the lead that the refiner casts into the furnace to separate between the Light and the Darkness, and between the food and the aforementioned refuse (וְהוּא הָעוֹפֶרֶת אֲשֶׁר מַשְׁלִיךְ הַצּוֹרֵף אֶל תּוֹךְ הַכּוּר לְהַבְדִּיל בֵּין הָאוֹר וְהַחֹשֶׁךְ וּבֵין אֹכֶל וּפְסוֹלֶת הַנִּזְכָּר), and once the Tohu of the Klipah had been refined, from it was made a mighty wind, namely the storm wind coming from the north (וְכֵיוָן שֶׁנִּתְבָּרֵר הַתֹּהוּ שֶׁל הַקְּלִיפָּה נַעֲשָׂה מִמֶּנָּה רוּחַ חָזָק הוּא רוּחַ סְעָרָה בָּאָה מִן הַצָּפוֹן), it is the head of the forty-four levels of the Manin Tevirin [Shattered Vessels] (הוּא רֹאשׁ מ״ד מַדְרֵגוֹת שֶׁל הַמָּאנִין תְּבִירִין), which do not acquire Heikhalot [Palaces] and form until they descend below into the seven Heikhalot [Palaces] of the Temurot [Transformations] (שֶׁאֵינָם קוֹנִים הֵיכָלוֹת וּדְמוּת עַד שֶׁיּוֹרְדִים לְמַטָּה אֶל שֶׁבַע הֵיכָלוֹת הַתְּמוּרוֹת).
