286. Under these living creatures are fastened the hairs of the moon, THE NUKVA, called the comets (Heb. shevet), a very scourge (Heb. shevet); MEANING, THEY ARE CONSIDERED THE SCOURGE WITH WHICH THE WORLD IS SENTENCED. THEY ARE DIVIDED INTO the accusers, the weighty, those of strict JUDGMENT, and the impudent. They are all called hairy. Her hands and feet hold on to it like a mighty lion holding its prey, of which it says "and tears in pieces, and none can deliver" (Michah 5:7).
286. תְּחוֹת אִינוּן חֵיוָותָא, מִתְאַחֲדָן שַׂעֲרָהָא דְסִיהֲרָא, דְּאִקְרוּן כֹּכְבַיָא דְּשַׁרְבִיטָא, דְּשַׁרְבִיט מַמָּשׁ, מָארֵי דְּמֵדִין, מָארֵי דְמַתְקְלָא, מָארֵי דְקַשְׁיוּ, מָארֵי דְחוּצְפָּא. וְכֻלְּהוּ אִקְרוּן מָארֵי דְאַרְגְּוָונָא, יְדָהָא וְרַגְלָהָא אֲחִידָן בְּהַאי, כְּאַרְיֵה תַּקִּיפָא דְּאָחֵיד עַל טַּרְפֵּיהּ, וְע"ד כְּתִיב וְטָרַף וְאֵין מַצִּיל.
