77. From the totality of those lights, THROUGH THEIR JOINING, the Seraphim were created. Each has six wings, as is written: "Above it stood the Seraphim, each one had six wings" (Yeshayah 6:2). They all have six WINGS, because they originated from THIS CHAMBER CALLED etzem hashamayim. These Seraphim burn (Heb. sorphim) all those who do not revere their Master's glory, THAT IS, THOSE WHO DEAL WITH THE THREE TOP SFIROT, and it is said that he who exploits the crown of Torah shall fade away, BECAUSE THE SERAPHIM BURN HIM. And whoever reads and learns the Six Orders of the Mishnah knows how to arrange and connect with his Master's unity, as is fitting. It is he who knows how to sanctify his Master's Holy Name each day always.
77. מִכְּלָלָא דִנְהוֹרִין אִלֵּין אִתְבְּרִיאוּ אִינוּן שְׂרָפִים, דְּשִׁית גַּדְפִין, כד"א שְׂרָפִים עוֹמְדִים מִמַּעַל לוֹ שֵׁשׁ כְּנָפַיִם שֵׁשׁ כְּנָפַיִם לָאֶחָד, כָּלְהוֹ בְּשֵׁשׁ, בְּגִין דְּכָלְהוֹ מֵעֶצֶם הַשָּׁמַיִם. אִלֵּין אִינוּן דְּאוֹקִידוּ לְאִינוּן דְּלָא חַיְישֵׁי עַל יְקָרָא דְּמָארֵיהוֹן, וְרָזָא דְאִשְׁתַּמֵּשׁ בְּתַגָּא חֲלָף. מָאן דְּקָארֵי וְתָנֵי שִׁית סִדְרֵי מִשְׁנָה, דָּא הוּא מָאן דְּיָדַע לְסַדְּרָא וּלְקַשְּׁרָא קִשּׁוּרָא יִחוּדָא דְמָארֵיהּ, כִּדְקָא יָאוֹת, אִלֵּין אִינוּן דִּמְקַדְּשִׁין שְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא דְמָארֵיהוֹן בְּכָל יוֹמָא תָּדִיר.
78. And when those lights rotate, they emit the light of one living creatures WHICH IS BORN AND stands spanning four living creatures. Those latter control the former, NAMELY THE SERAPHIM, because they contain the Seraphim within them. BECAUSE THE LIVING CREATURES ARE EXTRUDED FROM THE REVOLVING LIGHT, THEY ARE VERY WELL-BALANCED AND CAN CONTROL THE SERAPHIM AND MITIEGATE THE JUDGMENT AND FIRE IN THEM. When the living creatures travel, BY FORCE OF THE REVELATION OF THE REVOLVING LIGHT, the lower Seraphim are vanquished AND RENDERED HARMLESS. Those are the serpents that evolve from and are born of the venomous (Heb. saraph) serpent that caused death to all people of the world, THE PRIMORDIAL SERPENT.
78. כַּד מִתְגַּלְגְּלִין נְהוֹרִין, נָפַק מִנַּיְיהוּ נְהִירוּ דְּחַד חֵיוָותָא, דְּאִיהִי קַיָּימָא וְרַמְיָא, עַל ד' חֵיוָון, שַׁלִּיטִין עַל קַמָּאי, דִּכְלִילוּ לוֹן בְּגַוַויְיהוּ, וּבְאִלֵּין כַּד נָטְלִין אִתְכַפְיָין שְׂרָפִים תַּתָּאֵי, נְחָשִׁים דְּנָפְקֵי מִגּוֹ הַהוּא נָחָשׁ שָׂרָף, דְּגָרֵים מוֹתָא לְכָל עָלְמָא.
108. Below this living creatures four Seraphim glow as buds on flowers, and sparks of fire erupt from them. Each has seventy two wheels that are burning with fire. When they travel, they leave behind a river of fire. Thousands upon thousands OF OFANIM unite with that fire, and from them many armies emerge. When the wheels travel, myriads upon myriads are born and stand in the fire. Below the second chamber, angels sing, try to come close, and are burned.
108. תְּחוֹת הַאי חֵיוָתָא, ד' שְׂרָפִים, מְלַהֲטָן, כָּלְהוֹ כְּחֵזוּר וְשׁוֹשַׁן, וּשְׁבִיבֵי דְּאֶשָׁא סָלְקִין. ע"ב גַּלְגַּלִּין לְכָל חַד, מְלַהֲטָן בְּאֶשָׁא. כַּד נָטְלִין אִתְעֲבֵיד נָהַר חָד דִּי נוּרָא. אֶלֶף אַלְפִין מְשַׁמְשִׁין לְהַהוּא נוּרָא, מִתַּמָּן נָפְקֵי כַּמָּה חַיָּילִין, כַּד גַּלְגַּלִּין נָטְלִין, כַּמָּה אִינוּן רִבּוֹא רִבְוָון דִּיקוּמוּן מִנַּיְיהוּ, בְּגוֹ הַהוּא נוּרָא. תְּחוֹת הֵיכָלָא תִּנְיָינָא, נָפְקֵי חַיָּילִין דִּמְזַמְּרִין, וְאַתְיָין לְקָרְבָא הָכָא, וְאִתּוֹקְדוּן כָּלְהוֹ.
166. Rabbi Shimon said: This is a secret, BECAUSE IT ALLUDES TO THE CREATION OF ANGELS. 'Bird' refers to Michael, of whom it is written: "And one of the Seraphim flew to me" (Yeshayah 6:6), "ONE OF THE SERAPHIM" REFERS TO MICHAEL. To fly (yeofef) is said about Gabriel, as it is written: "The man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the who is continuously upon the earth. beginning, approached close to me in swift flight" (Daniel 9:21). It is Elijah ELIJAH is not connected to the side of Aba and Ima because he FLIES with four wings as it is written: "And the spirit of Hashem shall carry you where I know not" (I Melachim 18:12). The "spirit of Hashem" indicates one wing, and "carry you" the second WING. "Where" the third, and "I know not" the fourth. THUS, HE FLIES WITH FOUR WINGS.
