242. That is why IT IS WRITTEN: "And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones" (Devarim 21:21). This refers to the rest of the nations who were aiming and hurling stones at them. They knocked down the walls and smashed the towers. ALL THIS does not benefit them at all, BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT PREVAIL AGAINST YISRAEL. When Moses heard this, he wrote this passage.
242. וְעַ"ד וּרְגָמוּהוּ כָּל אַנְשֵׁי עִירוֹ בָאֲבָנִים. אִלֵּין כָּל שְׁאַר עַמִּין, דַּהֲווֹ מְקַלְּעִין לְהוּ בָּאֲבָנִים, וְסַתְרִין שׁוּרִין, וּמְנַתְּצִין מִגְדָּלִין, וְלָא מֵהָנֵי לוֹן כְּלוּם. כֵּיוָן דְּשָׁמַע מֹשֶׁה כְּדֵין, כָּתַב פַּרְשְׁתָּא דָּא.
434. At the top of that crown, there are four rows to four directions - NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST - which are ROWS OF towers, as it says, "Banks (also: 'towers') of fragrant flowers" (Shir Hashirim 5:13). What is "fragrant?" It is as it says, "With all powders of the merchant" (Ibid. 3:6). On each tower are three portals, set with fine stones around each side. This crown shines with engravings of precious gold of Ophir for the glory of the King, as it is written: "I will make men more rare than fine gold; and mankind, than the pure gold of Ophir" (Yeshayah 13:12).
434. בְּרֵישָׁא דְּעַטָרָא, אִית ד' שׁוּרִין לְד' סִטְרִין, וְאִינּוּן מִגְדָּלוֹת, כד"א מִגְדְּלוֹת מֶרְקָחִים. מַהוּ מֶרְקָחִים. כְּמָה דְּאַתְּ אָמֵר, מִכָּל אַבְקַת רוֹכֵל. וְעַל כָּל מַגְדְּלָא וּמַגְדְּלָא ג' פִּתְחִין, קְבִיעִין בְּאַבְנִין טָבָן, מִכָּל סִטְרָא וְסִטְרָא. הַאי עַטָרָא, נְהִירָא בְּדִלּוּגִין דְּאוֹפִיר, בְּגִין יְקָרָא דְּמַלְכָּא, כְּמָה דִּכְתִּיב אוֹקִיר אֱנוֹשׁ מִפָּז וְגוֹ.'
438. There are 1,600 towers to each and every direction and each individual tower is MADE OF permanently set rows (Heb. turim), MEANING THAT EACH TOWER IS SURROUNDED WITH A FEW HOUSES, DERIVED FROM TURIM. They blossom above and get their sustenance from the table of supernal Ima, WHO IS BINAH, from her anointing oil. Then the supernal Ima quietly bestows supernal gifts, sends them and sets them into that crown. Afterward, she endows abundant rivers of holy anointing oil on the King's head, ZEIR ANPIN. From His head, that supernal, precious oil flows down on His glorious beard and from there it flows over the King's garments. That is what is written: "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, running down upon the beard..." (Tehilim 133:2).
438. אֲלַף וְשִׁית מְאָה מִגְדָּלִין, לְכֹל סִטְרָא וְסִטְרָא. וְכָל מַגְדְּלָא וּמַגְדְּלָא, טוּרִין קְבִיעִין. פַּרְחִין לְעֵילָּא, אִשְׁתַּאֲבָן בִּפְתוֹרָא דְּאִימָּא עִלָּאָה, בִּמְשַׁח רְבוּת דִּילָהּ. כְּדֵין אִימָּא, בִּלְחִישׁוּ, נָגִיד מַתְּנָן עִלָּאִין, וְשָׁדַר וְקָבַע לוֹן בְּהַהוּא עַטָרָא. לְבָתַר אַנְגִּיד נַחֲלֵי דִּמְשַׁח רְבוּת קַדִּישָׁא, עַל רֵישָׁא דְּמַלְכָּא. וּמֵרֵישֵׁיהּ, נָחִית הַהוּא מִשְׁחָא טָבָא עִלָּאָה, עַל דִּיקְנֵיהּ יַקִּירָא. וּמִתַּמָּן נָגִיד עַל אִינּוּן לְבוּשֵׁי מַלְכָּא. הה"ד, כַּשֶּׁמֶן הַטּוֹב עַל הָרֹאשׁ יוֹרֵד עַל הַזָּקָן וְגוֹ.'
