76. We have learned that 1,500 sword-bearers wielding authority are linked to the side of these SIXTY mighty ones. In the hands of the one known as the youth, NAMELY METATRON, are four large keys, REFERRING TO FOUR ANGELS - MICHAEL, GABRIEL, URIEL AND REPHAEL. THEY ARE REFERRED TO AS LARGE KEYS, BECAUSE THEY CAUSE THE MOCHIN OF GREATNESS TO FLOW TO THOSE BELOW. Crocodiles, NAMELY THE GRADES OF CHOCHMAH, move under the ship, WHICH IS MALCHUT, THAT IS, IN BRIYAH, of the great sea, BINAH, FROM WHICH MALCHUT RECEIVES HER LIGHT, to HER four corners. The one moves to this side, SOUTH, and the other moves to this side, NORTH, and it is so with all of them, ALSO EASTWARD AND WESTWARD, WHICH ARE THE SECRET OF CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET AND MALCHUT. The four shapes of the face appear in them, MEANING IN THESE CROCODILES, AND ARE LION, OX, EAGLE AND MAN, FOR THEY ARE DRAWN FROM THE THREE COLUMNS AND MALCHUT THAT RECEIVES THEM, WHICH IS THE FACE OF A MAN. When they are joined within the one WHICH IS MALCHUT, it is written, "As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man" (Yechezkel 1:10). THIS MEANS the face of all of them, NAMELY THE THREE SHAPES OF LION, OX, EAGLE, RECEIVES A HUMAN FACE LIKE MALCHUT WHEN ALL ARE INCLUDED IN IT.
76. תָּאנָא, אֲלַף וַחֲמֵשׁ מְאָה, מָארֵי תְּרִיסִין, מָארֵי דְּשׁוּלְטָנוּתָא, אִתְאַחֲדָן מְהַאי סִטְרָא, דְּאִינּוּן גִּיבָּרִין. בִּידוֹי דְּהַהוּא דְּאִקְרֵי נַעַר, אַרְבַּע מַפְתְּחִין רַבְרְבָן. תַּנִּינַיָיא אַזְלִין תְּחוֹת סְפִינָה, דְּהָא יַמָּא רַבָּא, לְאַרְבַּע זָוְיָין. דָּא אָזִיל לְסִטְרָא דָּא, וְדָא אָזִיל לְסִטְרָא דָּא. וְכֵן כֻּלְּהוּ. אַרְבַּע חֵיזוּ דְּאַנְפִּין אִתְחַזְיָין בְּהוּ, וְכַד אִתְכְּלִילָן בְּחַד, כְּתִיב, וּדְמוּת פְּנֵיהֶם פְּנֵי אָדָם, פְּנֵיהֶם דְּכֺלָּא.
88. When the anointing oil flows to these two pillars, referred to as "students of Hashem" (Yeshayah 54:13), and are called Tzevaot, NAMELY NETZACH AND HOD, it gathers there. When it exits from there through that level called Yesod AND ARRIVES at the smaller Chochmah THAT IS MALCHUT, KNOWN AS THE SMALL CHOCHMAH BECAUSE IT CONTAINS ONLY SIX CORNERS OF CHOCHMAH AS EXPLAINED EARLIER, it is called the 'tongue of the learned.' FROM HER, it goes out to awaken the sublime holy beings. At that point, it is written, "Hashem Elohim has given me the tongue of the learned." Why? "That I should know how to sustain him that weary." The Holy One, blessed be He, gave this to the holy luminary, Rabbi Shimon. Furthermore, he raised him higher and higher TO UPPER WORLDS. For this reason, all his words are said manifestly, and are not concealed. About him, it is written, "With him I speak mouth to mouth, manifestly, and not in dark speeches" (Bemidbar 12:8).
88. וּבְשַׁעֲתָא דְּנָגִיד הַהוּא רְבוּת קַדִּישָׁא, לְאִינּוּן תְּרֵי קַיְימִין, דְּאִקְרוּן לִמּוּדֵי ה,' וְאִקְרוּן צְבָאוֹת, אִתְכְּנַשׁ תַּמָּן, וְכַד נָפִיק מִתַּמָּן, בְּהַהוּא דַּרְגָּא דְּאִקְרֵי יְסוֹד, לְהַהוּא חָכְמָה זְעֵירָא, כְּדֵין אִתְקְרֵי לְשׁוֹן לִמוּדִים. וְנָפִיק לְאִתְּעָרָא לְאִינּוּן קַדִּישֵׁי עֶלְיוֹנִים. כְּדֵין כְּתִיב, יְיָ' אֱלֹהִים נָתַן לִי לְשׁוֹן לִמוּדִים. וְלָמָּה. לָדַעַת לָעוּת אֶת יָעֵף דָּבָר. וְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא יָהִיב הַאי לְבוּצִינָא קַדִּישָׁא, ר"ש. וְעוֹד דְּסָלִיק לֵיהּ לְעֵילָּא, לְעֵילָּא בְּג"כ, כָּל מִלּוֹי בְּאִתְגַּלְיָיא אִתְּמָרוּ, וְלָא אִתְכַּסְיָין. עָלֵיהּ כְּתִיב, פֶּה אֶל פֶּה אֲדַבֶּר בּוֹ וּמַרְאֶה וְלֹא בְחִידוֹת.
254. After THE DEMONS go with them through the world, they return them to their graves and they see body worms picking at THEIR flesh. THE SOULS mourn for them, FOR THE BODIES. These sorcerers go to the cemeteries and perform their sorcery, make an image of a human form and slaughter before it a goat. Later, they bring that goat to that grave and that image they shatter to four directions and raise it to the four corners of the grave. Then they perform their sorcery. All these groups assemble with evil kinds and bring this soul, which enters the grave, and speaks with them.
254. לְבָתַר דְּאַזְלִין בְּהוּ, וְשָׁאטִין בְּהוּ בְּעָלְמָא, מְהַדְּרִין לְקִבְרַיְיהוּ, וְחַמָּן תּוֹלַעְתָּא דְּגוּפָא מְנַקְּרֵי בִּשְׂרָא וּמִתְאַבְּלָן עָלַיְיהוּ, וְאִינּוּן חַרְשִׁין הֲווֹ אַזְלֵי לְבֵי קִבְרֵי, וְחַרְשֵׁי בְּחַרְשַׁיְיהוּ, וְעַבְדִין חַד צַלְמָא דְּבַר נָשׁ, וְדַבְחִין קַמֵּיהּ חַד צְפִירָא. לְבָתַר עָאלִין לְהַהוּא צְפִירָא, בְּהַהוּא קִבְרָא, וְהַהוּא צַלְמָא מֲתַּבְּרִין לֵיהּ לְאַרְבַּע סִטְרִין, וּמַעֲלִין לֵיהּ לְאַרְבַּע זִיוְויָין דְּקִבְרָא. כְּדֵין מְחָרְשֵׁי בְּחַרְשַׁיְיהוּ, וּמִתְכַּנְּפֵי אִינּוּן כִּנּוּפֵי, וְאִינּוּן זִינִין בִּישִׁין, וּמַיְיתִין הַהִיא נַפְשָׁתָא, וְעָאל בְּקִבְרָא וּמִשְׁתָּעֵי בַּהֲדַיְיהוּ.
311. We have learned in the Mishnah about the ways of the lights. Four keys were made for the directions of the world, and there is one KEY for the four directions in their corners. There are four DIRECTIONS for each direction and they are engraved with one color. In the color ARE MIXED blue, purple, scarlet, white and red. One blends into the color of the other and ITS COLOR, MEANING THAT OF ITS NEIGHBOR, is found in it.
311. מַתְנִיתִין, בְּנִמוּסֵי טְהִירִין. אַרְבַּע מַפְתְּחִין שָׁוִיין, לְאַרְבַּע סִטְרֵי עָלְמָא. בְּזִוְיַיתְהוֹן אִשְׁתְּכָחוּ. חַד לִסְטַר אַרְבַּע, וְאַרְבַּע לִסְטַר חַד. אִתְגַלְּפָן בְּחַד גַּוְונָא. בְּהַהוּא גַּוְונָא, תְּכֵלָא, וְאַרְגְּוָונָא וְצֶבַע זְהוֹרִי, וְחִוָּורָא, וְסוּמָקָא. דָּא עָיֵיל בְּגַוְונָא דְּחַבְרֵיהּ, וְדִידֵיהּ בֵּיהּ רָשִׁים.
