Second chamber: Hod
The second chamber is located within the first. The opening to this chamber can be found in our world, deep within the caves of Machpelah of the Patriarchs in, Hebron, in the Land of Israel. In this chamber reside the souls who met with adversity and endured hardship in the physical world. Throughout their ordeals, they retained their certainty and Faith in The Creator. These souls understood the purpose of human existence as achieving spiritual growth, and therefore they thanked the Ancient and Holy One for sending them genuine opportunities for attaining that purpose.
13. The second chamber is within the first. The opening of this chamber is from within the cave of the Patriarchs, and it is lit by the first chamber. All manner of precious stones surround it.
13. הֵיכָלָא תִּנְיָינָא, הֵיכָלָא דָא, קַיְימָא לְגוֹ מֵהַאי הֵיכָלָא קַדְמָאָה וְהַאי פִּתְחָא אִיהוּ סָמִיךְ לְגוֹ מְעַרְתָּא דַּאֲבָהָן, וְהַאי הֵיכָלָא נָהֵיר מִקַּדְמָאָה, הָכָא אִית כָּל אֲבָנִין יַקִּירִין דְּמַקְפָן לֵיהּ.
14. Within this chamber, there is one light that includes all the colors, THAT IS, THE FOUR COLORS OF CHOCHMAH, BINAH, TIFERET AND MALCHUT, which shine downward from above. In this chamber are found all those who, so as to be made whole BY PERFECT REPENTANCE, suffered illnesses and misfortunes in this world, and who thanked and praised their Master every day, and never once stopped their prayers. THEREFORE THEY ATTAINED ADMITTANCE TO THE CHAMBER OF HOD IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
14. בְּגוֹ דְּהַאי הֵיכָלָא, אִית נְהִירוּ חַד, כָּלֵיל מִכָּל גְּוָונִין, וְאִיהוּ נָהֵיר מֵעֵילָא לְתַתָּא. בְּהַאי הֵיכָלָא קַיָּימִין אִינוּן, דְּסָבְלוּ יִסּוּרִין וּמַרְעִין בְּהַאי עָלְמָא, בְּגִין לְאִתְתַּקְּנָא, וַהֲווֹ מוֹדָן וּמְשַׁבְּחָן לְמָרֵיהוֹן כָּל יוֹמָא, וְלָא הֲווֹ מְבַטְּלִין צְלוֹתַיְיהוּ לְעָלְמִין.
15. And within this chamber reside all the righteous people who sanctify with all their might the name of their Master, and answer, with all their might, "Amen, may the great name be blessed." THIS THIRD ASPECT OF THE CHAMBER CONTAINS THE THREE TOP SFIROT, TO WHICH THE ABOVE MENTIONED RIGHTEOUS MERIT ADMISSION. They reside in the innermost recesses of the chamber. And the light THAT RESIDES WITHIN CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET OF THIS CHAMBER includes all of the colors, CHOCHMAH, BINAH, TIFERET AND MALCHUT. THIS LIGHT shines on them - THAT IS, ON THE RIGHTEOUS IN THE TOP THREE SFIROT OF THE CHAMBER. And by the strength of this light THAT THEY RECEIVE FROM CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET OF THE CHAMBER, they can stand and see other lights - BUT THE MAGNITUDE OF THESE OTHER LIGHTS DOES NOT ALLOW THEM TO BE SEEN FULLY. IT IS AS IF THEY CONNECT, YET ALSO DO NOT CONNECT WITH THE LIGHTS. Above THE RIGHTEOUS, stands the Messiah, who enters, walks among them, and draws down that light SO THAT THEY CAN ATTAIN IT FULLY.
15. לְגוֹ מֵהַאי הֵיכָלָא, קַיָּימִין כָּל אִינוּן, דִּמְקַדְּשִׁין בְּכָל חֵילָא שְׁמָא דְמָרֵיהוֹן, וַאֲתִיבוּ אָמֵן יְהֵא שְׁמֵיהּ רַבָּא מְבָרֵךְ בְּכָל חֵילָא, וְאִלֵּין אִינוּן קַיָּימִין לְגוֹ, בְּגוֹ הַאי הֵיכָלָא, וְהַהוּא נְהוֹרָא דְּכָלֵיל כָּל גְּוָונִין נָהֵיר לוֹן. מֵהַהוּא נְהִירוּ קַיָּימִין וְחָמָאן נְהוֹרִין אָחֳרָנִין, דְּאִתְאַחֲדָן וְלָא אִתְאַחֲדָן בְּגַוַּויְיהוּ. וְעֵילָא מִנְּהוֹן מָשִׁיחַ, דְּאִיהוּ עָאל וְקָאֵים בֵּינַיְיהוּ, וְנָחֵית לוֹן.
