338. "...As for the stork, the cypress trees are her house..." (Tehilim 104:17). This refers to the six supernal sons, THE SIX ENDS OF THE WORLD, CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET, NETZACH, HOD AND YESOD. It has been explained THAT THEY EMERGE FROM THE SUPERNAL WORLD, BINAH, AND ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ITS HOUSE. Why is BINAH called a 'stork?' HE ANSWERS, Because this supernal world, although it is female, NAMELY BINAH, is referred to as male, because when goodness and lights issue, it is from her that it appears and expands. AND WHATEVER GIVES IS REFERRED TO AS MALE.
338. חֲסִידָה בְּרוֹשִׁים בֵּיתָהּ, בְּאִינוּן שִׁית בְּנִין עִלָּאִין, שִׁית סִטְרִין דְּעָלְמָא, כְּמָה דְאִתְּמָר. אַמַּאי אִקְרֵי חֲסִידָה. אֶלָּא, הַאי עַלְמָא עִלָּאָה, אַף עַל גָּב דְּנוּקְבָא אִיהִי, קָרִינָן לָהּ דָּכָר, דְּכַד אִתְפַּשַּׁט, כָּל טִיבוּ, וְכָל נְהִירוּ, מִנֵּיהּ נָפֵיק.
339. Because BINAH is a 'stork' (Heb. chasidah), the light of Chesed emanates from Her - the primordial light, about which the scripture reads, "And Elohim said, Let there be light" (Beresheet 1:3). Therefore, it is written, "the cypress trees are her house." "Broshim" ('cypress trees') should be read "Berashim" ('in the heads'), BECAUSE BINAH IS THE FIRST THREE SFIROT, AND HER HOUSE IS HER SIX ENDS, CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET, NETRZACH, HOD, AND YESOD. AND THESE ARE IN HER HEAD, THAT IS, IN THE ASPECT OF HEAD AND THE FIRST THREE SFIROT. But the LOWER world, THE NUKVA, lives in the lower beings, AND NOT IN THE HEADS. She is called the 'Law Court of the World.' Sometimes THE LOWER WORLD, THE NUKVA, is named as the upper world, BINAH, by all its names. THIS IS WHEN THE NUKVA RISES AND CLOTHES BINAH.
339. וּבְגִין כָּךְ דְּאִיהִי חֲסִידָה, נָפֵיק מִינָהּ חֶסֶ"ד, דְּאִיהוּ נְהוֹרָא קַדְמָאָה, דִּכְתִיב וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יְהִי אוֹר. וְעַל דָּא בְּרוֹשִׁים בֵּיתָהּ. בְּרוֹשִׁים: אַל תִּקְרֵי בְּרוֹשִׁים, אֶלָּא בְּרָאשִׁים. דְּהָא עַלְמָא אָחֳרָא, בְּתַתָּאִין בֵּיתָהּ, וְאִיהִי בֵּי דִינָא דְעַלְמָא. וּלְזִמְנִין אִקְרֵי כְּגַוְונָא דִלְעֵילָא, בְּכָל אִינוּן שְׁמָהָן.
