Daf 75a [Daf 74a] (דַּף ע״ה ע״א [צ״ל ע״ד ע״א])

Behold, all five of these were included within the mystery of the central Nekudah [Point] of the upper Rose (וְהִנֵּה כָּל הַה׳ אֵלּוּ הֵם נִכְלְלוּ בְּסוֹד נְקוּדָּה אֶמְצָעִית שֶׁל הַשּׁוֹשַׁנָּה הָעֶלְיוֹנָה), and this is the Nekudat Tziyon [Point of Zion] (וְהִיא נְקוּדַת צִיּוֹן), as mentioned in the Idra Zuta (כַּנִּזְכָּר בְּאִדְרָא זוּטָא), and the mystery of the five Gevurot [Powers] (וְסוֹד ה׳ גְּבוּרוֹת) is the mystery of this Rose, which was formed from behind him, from between the two arms (הֵם סוֹד שׁוֹשַׁנָּה זֹאת דְּאִתְעֲבִידַת מֵאֲחוֹרוֹי מִבֵּין תְּרֵין דְּרוֹעִין), thus it follows that she possesses five Sefirot (וְנִמְצָא שֶׁיֵּשׁ בָּהּ ה׳ סְפִירוֹת): Tiferet, which is between the two arms, together with Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and Malkhut (תִּפְאֶרֶת שֶׁהוּא בֵּין תְּרֵין דְּרוֹעִין ונהי״ם הֲרֵי חָמֵשׁ), and because she receives them from behind him they are called Gevurot [Powers] (וּלְהִיוֹתָהּ מְקַבֶּלֶת אוֹתָם מֵאֲחוֹרוֹי נִקְרְאוּ גְּבוּרוֹת), in the mystery of the back-aspects, which are Judgment, as is known (בְּסוֹד אֲחוֹרַיִים שֶׁהֵם דִּין כַּנּוֹדָע), and they are all included within her point of Yesod [Foundation] (וְנִכְלָלִים כֻּלָּם בִּנְקוּדַת יְסוֹד שֶׁבָּהּ), which is Tziyon [Zion] (שֶׁהִיא צִיּוֹן), and these five Gevurot [Powers] are the letters MNTZPKH (וַחֲמֵשׁ גְּבוּרוֹת אֵלּוּ הֵם אוֹתִיּוֹת מנצפ״ך), therefore they are doubled, corresponding as male and female, one opposite the other (וּלְפִיכָךְ הֵם כְּפוּלוֹת לִהְיוֹת כְּזָכָר וּכִנְקֵבָה זֶה לְעֻמַּת זֶה).

Now the Cup of Blessing must be lifted by means of these five Gevurot [Powers] (וְהִנֵּה כּוֹס שֶׁל בְּרָכָה צָרִיךְ לְהַגְבִּיהוֹ בַּחֲמֵשׁ גְּבוּרוֹת אֵלּוּ), in order to raise them to their root, to the place of the wine that gladdens (לְהַעֲלוֹתָם אֶל שָׁרְשָׁם אֶל מְקוֹם הַיַּיִן הַמְשַׂמֵּחַ), to sweeten them (לְמַתְּקָם), and these are the five fingers of the right hand (וְהֵם הֵם חָמֵשׁ אֶצְבְּעוֹת הַיָּד הַיְמָנִית), to sweeten them through the mystery of the right side (לְמַתְּקָם בְּסוֹד הַיָּמִין), and to raise them to their root (וּלְהַעֲלוֹתָם אֶל שָׁרְשָׁם), so that they may be sweetened through the mystery of the right side within her (וְיִתְמַתְּקוּ בְּסוֹד הַיָּמִין שֶׁבָּהּ), and the result will be wine that gladdens, rather than wine that intoxicates through overpowering Gevurah [Strength] (וְיִהְיֶה יַיִן הַמְשַׂמֵּחַ וְלֹא יַיִן הַמְשַׁכֵּר מִצַּד הַגְּבוּרָה הַחֲזָקָה). Because Kos [Cup] equals Elohim in numerical value (וּלְפִי שֶׁכּוֹ״ס בְּגִי׳ אֱלֹהִים), from which these five Gevurot [Powers] were drawn (אֲשֶׁר נִמְשְׁכוּ מִמֶּנּוּ ה׳ גְּבוּרוֹת אֵלּוּ), therefore they are called Kos Yeshuot [Cup of Salvations] (עַל כֵּן נִקְרְאוּ כּוֹ״ס יְשׁוּעוֹת), and the Cup of Blessing through attachment to the right side is sweetened (וְכוֹס שֶׁל בְּרָכָה בְּהִדַּבְּקוּת בַּיָּמִין לְהִמָּתֵק). “From here onward, the Ohr [Light] that was created was concealed” (מִכָּאן וָהָלְאָה אוֹר דְּאִתְבְּרֵי וְאִתְגְּנִיז), for after these five Gevurot [Powers] were drawn forth and all of them were included within the mystery of the Nekudat Tziyon [Point of Zion] (כִּי אַחַר שֶׁנִּמְשְׁכוּ ה׳ גְּבוּרוֹת אֵלּוּ וְנִכְלְלוּ כֻּלָּם בְּסוֹד נְקוּדַת צִיּוֹן), within her were included the five Chesedim [Kindnesses] of the Male (שֶׁבָּהּ נִכְלְלוּ חֲמִשָּׁה חֲסָדִים שֶׁבַּזָּכָר), within the Holy Organ (בָּאֵבֶר הַקָּדוֹשׁ), through the Ohr [Light] extending from Chesed [Kindness] of the Supernal Chesed [Kindness] (ע״י הָאוֹר הַנִּמְשָׁךְ מִן חֶסֶד מֵחֶסֶד עִלָּאָה), and it entered into the Nekudat Tziyon [Point of Zion] (וְנִכְנַס בִּנְקוּדַת צִיּוֹן), bringing forth the Holy Seed drawn from the Moach [Brain] (וְאַפִּיק בָּהּ זֶרַע קֹדֶשׁ הַנִּמְשָׁךְ מֵהַמּוֹחַ), the mystery of Chokhmah [Wisdom] (סוֹד חָכְמָה), in order to bring holy Neshamot [Souls] into the world (לְהוֹצִיא נְשָׁמוֹת קְדוֹשׁוֹת לָעוֹלָם), and behold, the five occurrences of Ohr [Light] mentioned here correspond to these five Chesedim [Kindnesses] (וְהִנֵּה ה׳ אוֹר הַנִּזְכָּרִים פֹּה כְּנֶגֶד ה׳ חֲסָדִים אֵלּוּ), and the meaning of the concealment of this Ohr [Light] is that the Supernal Chesed [Kindness] extending from this Atika Kadisha [Holy Ancient One] (וְעִנְיַן גְּנִיזַת הָאוֹר זֶה הוּא כִּי חֶסֶד עִלָּאָה הַנִּמְשָׁךְ מֵעַתִּיקָא קַדִּישָׁא הַזֶּה) is revealed without any enclothement whatsoever (נִגְלֶה בְּלִי הִתְלַבְּשׁוּת כְּלָל), and furthermore (וְלֹא עוֹד).
