34. There are others who have knowledge of the mysteries of the Torah, men of qualities, who receive souls from the aspect of the holy Malchut OF ATZILUT, which includes ten Sfirot. Whoever receives her and attains her, merits ten indivisible Sfirot, ten, not nine, since had they inherited Malchut alone the nine Sfirot would have been separated from her. But since there is no division there, IN ATZILUT, the author of the Book of Formation said 'ten, not nine,' WHICH MEANS THAT THE NINE UPPER SFIROT ARE NEVER APART FROM HER.
34. וְאִית אַחֲרָנִין מָארֵי סִתְרֵי תּוֹרָה, מָארֵי מִדּוֹת, דְּאִינּוּן יָרְתִין נִשְׁמָתִין מִסִּטְרָא דְּמַלְכוּתָא קַדִּישָׁא, דְּאִיהוּ כְּלִילָא מֵעֲשַׂר סְפִירָן. דְּמַאן דְּיָרִית לָהּ, וְזָכֵי לָהּ, זָכֵי לַעֲשַׂר סְפִירָן בְּלָא פִּרוּדָא, עֲשַׂר וְלָא תְּשַׁע, דְּאִי הֲווֹ יָרְתִין לְמַלְכוּתָא יְחִידָאָה, הֲווֹ תְּשַׁע בְּפֵרוּדָא מִנָהּ, בְּגִין דְּלֵית תַּמָּן פִּרוּדָא, אָמַר בַּעַל סֵפֶר יְצִירָה עֶשֶׂר וְלֺֹא תֵּשַׁע.
35. You may say that MALCHUT rises above the ten, AND IS THERE ALONE. HE ANSWERS, the explicit Name Yud Vav Dalet, Hei Aleph, Vav Aleph Vav, Hei Aleph, WHICH COMPRISES TEN LETTERS, is the ten Sfirot OF ZEIR ANPIN, and the ten SFIROT, WHICH ARE ZEIR ANPIN, unite with her, WITH MALCHUT, and she does not rise above the ten OF ZEIR ANPIN, BUT NEVER SEPARATES FROM HIM. Hence THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF FORMATION SAYS, 'ten, not eleven.' But whoever joins Yud (= 10), which is the sign of the covenant, WHICH IS YESOD, with the maidservant, or JOINS the Matron that includes the Yud with the demon of idol worship that is Samael is punished in Gehenom.
35. וְאִי תֵּימָא דִּסְלִיקַת לְעֵילָּא מֵעֲשַׂר. שְׁמָא מְפֺרָשׁ יוֹ"ד הֵ"א וָא"ו הֵ"א, הָא עֲשַׂר, יוֹ"ד דְּמִתְיַיחֵד בָּהּ, וְלָא סְלִיק לְעֵילָּא מֵעֲשַׂר. וּבְגִין דָּא י,' וְלָא י"א. אֲבָל מַאן דִּמְחַבֵּר יוֹ"ד, דְּאִיהִי אוֹת בְּרִית, בְּשִׁפְחָה. וּמַטְרוֹנִיתָא כְּלִילָא מִי,' בְּשֵׁד דע"ז סָמָאֵ"ל אִתְּדָּן בַּגֵיהִנָּם.
