Daf 122b (דַּף קכ״ב ע״ב)

Lion this is sight (אַרְיֵה דָא רְאִיָּה), and it is said concerning it And the face of a lion on the right side of the four of them (Ezekiel 1) (וְאִתְּמַר בֵּיהּ וּפְנֵי אַרְיֵה אֶל הַיָּמִין לְאַרְבַּעִתָּם). In every place their four is Hashem (בְּכָל אֲתַר אַרְבַּעִתָּם דָּא יהו״ה), His four letters that rule over all (אַרְבַּע אַתְוָון דִּילֵיהּ דְּשָׁלְטִין עַל כֹּלָּא). And turn lion and you will find sight (וַהֲפוֹךְ אַרְיֵה וְתִשְׁכַּח לֵיהּ רְאִיָּה), and it is to the right of Chesed (וְאִיהוּ לִימִינָא דְחֶסֶד), which is the first day (דְּאִיהוּ יוֹמָא קַדְמָאָה), for there is alef Some say yod light (דְתַמָּן א׳ נ״א יו״ד אוֹר). Reuven who is on the right on his name is called light son (רְאוּבֵן דְּאִיהוּ לִימִינָא עַל שְׁמֵיהּ אִתְקְרֵי אוֹר בֵּן). Hearing is to the left (שְׁמִיעָה לִשְׂמָאלָא), and concerning it it is said And the face of an ox on the left side (Ezekiel 1) (וַעֲלֵיהּ אִתְּמַר וּפְנֵי שׁוֹר מֵהַשְּׂמֹאל).

The eagle is scent in the middle (נֶשֶׁר רֵיחָא בְאֶמְצָעִיתָא), concerning it it is said Who has gathered the wind in His fists (Proverbs 30) (עֲלֵיהּ אִתְּמַר מִי אָסַף רוּחַ בְּחָפְנָיו). These are the two nostrils of the nose (דְּאִינוּן תְּרֵין נוּקְבִין דְּחוֹטָמָא). The mouth is speech (פִּימָא דִבּוּרָא), this is man including four letters and including ten letters (דָא אָדָם כְּלִיל אַרְבַּע אַתְוָון וּכְלִיל עִשֶׂר אַתְוָון), and this is Shekhinta (וְדָא שְׁכִינְתָּא). In these four Tikkunim He said to Moshe And you shall see from all the people etc. (Exodus 18) (בְּאִלֵּין אַרְבַּע תִּקּוּנִין אָמַר לְמֹשֶׁה וְאַתָּה תֶחֱזֶה מִכָּל הָעָם וְגוֹמֵר), and it is necessary to look upon them (וְצָרִיךְ לְאַחְזָרָא עֲלַיְיהוּ). And you shall see in hair (וְאַתָּה תֶחֱזֶה בְּשַׂעֲרָא), concerning it it is said His head is as the most fine gold this is the supernal Keter (Song of Songs 5) (עֲלֵיהּ אִתְּמַר רֹאשׁוֹ כֶּתֶם פָּז דָּא כֶּתֶר עִלָּאָה). And within is the brain (וּמִלְּגָאו מוֹחָא), from which issue forth fountains to every side (דְּמִנֵּיהּ נָפְקִין מַבּוּעִין לְכָל סִטְרָא), to give drink to every single hair which is the hidden world (לְאַשְׁקָאָה לְכָל נִימָא וְנִימָא דְאִיהִי עָלְמָא סְתִימָאָה). And every fountain becomes a spark (וְכָל מַבּוּעָא אִתְעֲבִיד נִיצוֹץ), and every hair becomes a staff (וְכָל נִימָא אִתְעֲבִיד שַׁרְבִיט). The hidden brain is called Ein Sof (מוֹחָא סְתִימָא אִתְקְרֵי אֵין סוֹף), which divides into three Mochin which are yod yod yod (דְּאִתְפַּלַּג לִתְלַת מוֹחִין דְּאִינוּן י׳ י׳ י׳), which are hinted in this Name Yod Heh Vav Heh (Some say Yod Heh Yod Vav Heh) (דְּאִתְרְמִיזוּ בְּהַאי שְׁמָא יו״ד ה״א וא״ו ה״א (נ״א יו״ד ה״י וא״ו ה״י). There rose the Ancient of Ancients Atika deAtikin and said The Holy Luminary surely the Name hinted by these three yods is yod heh vav heh and this is within (קם סבא דסבין עתיקא דעתיקין ואמר בוצינא קדישא ודאי שמא דאתרמיזו תלת יו״דין דא יו״ד ה״י וא״ו ה״י וְדָא אִיהוּ מִלְּגָאו). But the Name which is Yod Heh Vav Heh it includes three Alef Alef Alef which are three airs (אֲבָל שְׁמָא דְאִיהוּ יו״ד ה״א וא״ו ה״א אִיהוּ כְּלִיל תְּלַת אַלְפִין א׳ א׳ א׳ אִינוּן תְּלַת אַוִּירִין), in which are clothed the three Mochin Yod Yod Yod (דְּמִתְלַבְּשִׁין בְּהוֹן תְּלַת מוֹחִין י׳ י׳ י׳). One Name is body and the other Name is brain this is within and this is without (שְׁמָא חַד אִיהוּ גוּפָא וּשְׁמָא תִנְיָנָא מוֹחָא דָּא מִלְּגָאו וְדָא מִלְּבָר).

Three vavs are in this Name which are staffs (תְּלַת וָוִי״ן אִית בְּהַאי שְׁמָא דְאִנּוּן שַׁרְבִיטִין). Hair is called by the measure of the stature of Kudsha Berikh Hu (שֵׂעָר אִתְקְרֵי עַל שֵׁם שִׁעוּר קוֹמָתֵיהּ דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא). And every hair is called a soul (וְכָל נִימָא וְנִימָא אִתְקְרֵי נִשְׁמָתָא), and there are hairs that are called angels (וְאִית נִימִין דְּאִתְקְרִיאוּ מַלְאָכִין). And every spark is called 'Ophan' [Wheel/Angel] and is called a 'Galgal' [Sphere/Cycle] (וְכָל נִיצוֹץ אִתְקְרֵי אוֹפָן וְאִתְקְרֵי גַלְגַּל). And there are among them hairs that are from white fire all of them mercy (וְאִית מִנַּיְיהוּ דְאִינוּן נִימִין מֵאֶשָּׁא חִוְורָא כֻּלְּהוּ רַחֲמֵי). And there are among them hairs that are from red fire all of them judgment (וְאִית מִנַּיְיהוּ דְאִינוּן נִימִין דְּאִינוּן מֵאֶשָּׁא סוּמְקָא וְכֻלְּהוּ דִין). And there are hairs all of them green from green fire (וְאִית נִימִין כֻּלְּהוּ יְרוֹקִין מֵאֶשָּׁא יְרוֹקָא). And there are hairs all of them from black fire (וְאִית נִימִין כֻּלְּהוּ מֵאֶשָּׁא אוּכְמָא). These are called the hair of Kudsha Berikh Hu (אִלֵּין אִתְקְרִיאוּ שֵׂעָר דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא).

Every spark its measure of journey is ten thousand (כָּל נִיצוֹץ שִׁעוּר מַהֲלַךְ דִּילֵיהּ עֲשֶׂר אַלְפִין), and every hair is the measure of the finger of Kudsha Berikh Hu (וְכָל נִימָא אִיהִי שִׁעוּרָא דְאֶצְבָּעָא דְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא), and every finger is a small span (וְכָל אֶצְבַּע אִיהוּ פַּרְסָה זְעִירָא), and every span has three mil (וְכָל פַּרְסָה אִית בָּהּ תְּלַת מִיל), corresponding to the three joints of the finger (לָקֳבֵל תְּלַת פִּרְקִין דְּאֶצְבָּעָא). And every mil is ten thousand (וְכָל מִיל אִיהוּ עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים), but the mil of the upper span is ten thousand ten thousands (אֲבָל מִיל דְּפַרְסָה עִלָּאָה אִיהוּ עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים רִבּוֹא). And so in the arm you will find three joints (וְהָכִי דְרוֹעָא תִּשְׁכַּח בָּהּ תְּלַת פִּרְקִין), and every joint is ten (וְכָל פֶּרֶק אִיהוּ י׳), and every cubit is six (וְכָל אַמָּה אִיהוּ ו׳). But finger and cubit this is a small measure from the side of Ze’ir Anpin (אֲבָל אֶצְבַּע וְאַמָּה דָּא שִׁעוּרֵיהּ זְעִיר מִסִּטְרָא דִזְעִיר אַנְפִּין), and this is a great measure from the side of Arich Anpin (וְדָא שִׁעוּרֵיהּ רַב מִסִּטְרָא דַאֲרִיךְ אַנְפִּין). And in every limb is Hashem (וּבְכָל אֵבֶר וְאֵבֶר אִיהוּ יהו״ה), and He is the measure of every limb (וְאִיהוּ שִׁעוּרָא דְכָל אֵבֶר וְאֵבֶר), in its height in its length above and below and to the four directions (בְּגָבְהָא בְאָרְכָּא עִילָא וְתַתָּא וּלְאַרְבַּע סִטְרִין). And He is between every limb and limb there is no place empty of Him (וְאִיהוּ בֵּין כָּל אֵבֶר וְאֵבֶר לֵית אֲתַר פָּנוּי מִנֵּיהּ), like the soul that is found in every limb of the body (כְּנִשְׁמָתָא דְאִשְׁתַּכְּחַת בְּכָל אֵבֶר וְאֵבֶר דְּגוּפָא).

And there is a supernal limb that is called Hashem by His Name (וְאִית אֵבֶר עִלָּאָה דְאִתְקְרֵי יהו״ה עַל שְׁמֵיהּ), whose dominion is in the known place (דְּשָׁלְטָנוּתֵיהּ בַּאֲתַר יְדִיעָא), this is that which is written And Hashem shall be King over all the earth (Zechariah 14) (הֲדָא הוּא דִכְתִיב וְהָיָה יהו״ה לְמֶלֶךְ עַל כָּל הָאָרֶץ). And there are two supernal limbs from Him that are called Hashem Elohim (וְאִית תְּרֵין אֵבָרִין עִלָּאִין מִנֵּיהּ דְּאִתְקְרִיאוּ יהו״ה אֱלֹהִים), whose dominion is in heaven and in earth (דְּשָׁלְטָנוּתְהוֹן בִּשְׁמַיָּא וּבְאַרְעָא), this is that which is written For Hashem He is the Elohim in the heavens above and upon the earth below there is no other (Deuteronomy 4) (הֲדָא הוּא דִכְתִיב כִּי יהו״ה הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים בַּשָּׁמַיִם מִמַּעַל וְעַל הָאָרֶץ מִתָּחַת אֵין עוֹד). And there is a limb that is called Elohim (וְאִית אֵבֶר דְּאִתְקְרֵי אֱלֹהִים), and its dominion is in all the earth (וְשָׁלְטָנוּתֵיהּ בְּכָל אַרְעָא), this is that which is written Elohim King of all the earth (Psalms 47) (הֲדָא הוּא דִכְתִיב מֶלֶךְ כָּל הָאָרֶץ אֱלֹהִים). And there is another whose dominion is in two limbs in brain and in heart (וְאִית אָחֳרָא דְשָׁלְטָנוּתֵיהּ אִיהוּ בִתְרֵין אֵבָרִין בְּמוֹחָא וּבְלִבָּא), and concerning it is said For Hashem He is the Elohim there is no other besides Him (Deuteronomy 4) (וַעֲלֵיהּ אִתְּמַר כִּי יהו״ה הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים אֵין עוֹד מִלְּבַדּוֹ). And even though this verse is said concerning Kudsha Berikh Hu that there is no other besides Him (וְאַף עַל גַּב דְּהַאי קְרָא עַל קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא אִתְּמַר דְּאֵין עוֹד מִלְּבַדּוֹ), nevertheless here is the secret of His supernal image (עִם כָּל דָּא הָכָא רָזָא דְּדִיּוֹקְנָא עִלָּאָה דִילֵיהּ), to show that in every limb of His body is His dominion (לְאַחֲזָאָה בְּכָל אֵבֶר וְאֵבֶר דְּגוּפֵיהּ שׁוֹלְטָנוּתֵיהּ), to make known to man how the world is conducted (לְאִשְׁתְּמוֹדְעָא לְבַר נַשׁ אֵיךְ אִתְנַהִיג עָלְמָא), and he should know to call Him in every limb as is fitting for Him (וְיִנְדַּע לְמִקְרֵי לֵיהּ בְּכָל אֵבֶר כִּדְקָא יָאוּת לֵיהּ), and how His Name is changed according to that limb (וְאֵיךְ אִשְׁתַּנִּי שְׁמֵיהּ לְפוּם הַהוּא אֵבֶר).
