5. In spite of all this, the world below was not finished and complete and was not sustained on its own until Abraham came along. The world was sustained but not completed until Abraham was present in the world and held onto THE WORLD with his right hand, THAT IS CHESED, as one who holds and assists the right hand of someone who fell. Isaac came along and held the world's hand with the left hand, THAT IS GVURAH, and THE WORLD was sustained even more. When Jacob came along, he held on to the center, with the body, THAT IS THE CENTRAL COLUMN, and became included in both sides, THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT. And the world stood firm and did not collapse.
5. ועכ"ד, עָלְמָא תַּתָּאָה לָא אִשְׁתְּלִים, וְלָא הֲוָה שְׁלִים, וְלָא אִשְׁתְּכַח בְּקִיּוּמֵיהּ, עַד דְּאָתָא אַבְרָהָם, וְאִתְקַיָּים עָלְמָא. אֲבָל לָא אִשְׁתְּלִים, עַד דְּאַבְרָהָם אִשְׁתְּכַח בֵּיהּ בְּעָלְמָא וְאָחִיד בֵּיהּ בִּימִינָא, כְּמַאן דְּאָחִיד בִּימִינֵיהּ, לְמַאן דְּנָפִיל. אָתָא יִצְחָק, וְאָחִיד בִּידֵיהּ דְּעָלְמָא בִּשְׂמָאלָא, וְאִתְקָיָּים יַתִּיר. כֵּיוָן דְּאָתָא יַעֲקֹב, אָחִיד בְּאֶמְצָעִיתָא בְּגוּפָא, וְאִתְכְּלִיל בִּתְרֵין סִטְרִין, אִתְקַיָּים עָלְמָא וְלָא הֲוָה מִתְמוֹטֵט.
