Pekudei: Chapter 46

The chamber of a sapphire stone - Yesod

Synopsis

Rabbi Shimon tells us that the first chamber marks the beginning of the faith and is the light of wisdom or 'sight'. Although it is the first or lowest of the grades of holiness it is also the last of the descending grades of the Other Side. Therefore when Hosea looked into it he saw the levels of defilement, and we are told that people should not enter these chambers of defilement so that they won't be drawn to them. Hosea looked into the chamber because he wanted to know why Yisrael left the secret of the faith, he wanted to know what the defilement was like that they were always drawn to, and he saw these things in the first chamber. This chamber is the start of all the grades of ascent, and it is governed by a chieftain called Tahariel. He and his other chieftains guard the gate that each soul has to pass through after death. If the soul is not good enough to enter, another chieftain of the Other Side is summoned and the soul is moved to the chambers of defilement from where it is taken to Gehenom and judged for twelve months. Tahariel also decides that prayers are worthy to be passed upward through his gate. If a public prayer comes along he opens the gate and brings it in. If it is a solitary prayer he opens the door and lets it in, if it is good enough for the Holy King; but if it is unworthy, he pushes it out and it goes back down to the lowest of the firmaments below.

Here a chieftain called Sahadiel keeps all the rejected prayers until the person repents. When he repents and prays a better prayer Sahadiel takes the unfit prayer and elevates it to meet the good one, then they both rise to stand before the Holy King. We hear about the 'gate of tears', and Rabbi Shimon talks about the Holy Spirit named Staturiyah who rejoins male souls with female souls in the seventh chamber above.

Similarly a spirit named Adiriyah Snugiya rejoins female souls with male souls. After describing the marriage of the souls Rabbi Shimon describes the wheels and the living creatures and the flash of lightning. We hear how Sandalphon takes the finished prayers of the people of Yisrael and brings them up to their Master. The words of the rising prayers and the words of the Torah rise up to the place in the firmament where the stars and constellations and sun and moon are, and this place is called 'the book of remembrance'. We are told more about the wheels and pillars and the secret of the letters of the name Adonai. The name Ya'ahadonahi is shown to comprise two spirits, Yud Hei Vav Hei and Adonai, and to cause the unification of everything, so that "they have all one spirit."

Atzilut Chambers Faith Grades Mirror Other Side Prophets Sapphire Stone

478. The first chamber, NAMELY, YESOD AND MALCHUT, IS THE FIRST FROM BELOW UPWARD. It marks the beginning of the Faith, NAMELY, THIS CHAMBER IS MALCHUT OF THE CHAMBERS CALLED 'FAITH'. It is the start of the secret of the Faith, NAMELY, OF THE MYSTERY OF MALCHUT OF ATZILUT, and is of the grade of sight within Faith, NAMELY, THE ILLUMINATION OF CHOCHMAH IN IT IS CALLED 'SIGHT'. The true prophets used to look from within the mirror, which does not shine, MALCHUT, for that CHAMBER is the beginning of the Faith, MALCHUT OF ATZILUT. It is written, "When Hashem spoke at first with Hosea" (Hoshea 1:2), for he looked from this grade, NAMELY, THE FIRST CHAMBER, the beginning of all the ascending grades, and the end of all the descending grades OF THE OTHER SIDE.

478. הֵיכָלָא קַדְמָאָה. שֵׁירוּתָא גּוֹ מְהֵימְנוּתָא, וְהַאי אִיהוּ שֵׁירוּתָא לְרָזָא דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא, וּבְדַרְגִין דְּחֵיזוּ דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא. נְבִיאֵי קְשׁוֹט, הֲווֹ חָמָאן מִגּוֹ דָּא אַסְפָקָלַרְיָא דְּאֵינָה מְאִירָה, וּבְגִין דְּהַאי אִיהוּ שֵׁירוּתָא דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא, כְּתִיב תְּחִלַּת דִּבֶּר יְיָ' בְּהוֹשֵׁעַ. דְּחָמָא מִגּוֹ דַּרְגָא דָּא, דְּאִיהוּ שֵׁירוּתָא דְּכָל דַּרְגִּין לְסַלְּקָא לְעֵילָּא, וְסוֹפָא דְּכָל דַּרְגִּין לְנַחְתָּא לְתַתָּא.

Chambers Grades Holiness (Kedushah) Kedushah (Holiness) Women

479. Since Hosea saw, in this beginning, NAMELY, OF THE CHAMBERS OF DEFILEMENT, the end of all the grades, he had to take "a wife of harlotry" (Hoshea 1:2). This is because the children of Yisrael were tempted and drawn away FROM THE FIRST CHAMBER downward to the place called "a wife of harlotry," MALCHUT OF DEFILEMENT, by leaving behind, instead of joining, the "woman of worth" (Mishlei 31:10), MALCHUT OF HOLINESS. From there he saw all the chambers on the side of defilement.

479. וּבְגִין דְּהוֹשֵׁעַ חָמָא מִגּוֹ שֵׁירוּתָא דָּא, סוֹפָא דְּכָל דַּרְגִּין, אִצְטְרִיךְ לְנַטְלָא הַאי אֵשֶׁת זְנוּנִים, בְּגִין דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אִתְדָּחוּ וְאִתְמְשָׁכוּ מִתַמָּן לְתַתָּא, לְגַבֵּי הַהוּא אֲתָר דְּאִקְרֵי אֵשֶׁת זְנוּנִים, בְּגִין דְּשַׁבְקוּ, וְלָא אִתְדָּבָּקוּ בְּהַאי אֵשֶׁת חַיִל. וְחָמָא מִתַמָּן כָּל אִינּוּן הֵיכָלִין דְּאִינּוּן בְּסִטְרָא מְסַאֲבָא.

Chambers Noah Other Side Prophets Tents Wine

480. The chambers of defilement defile whoever clings to them. Hence, SINCE HOSEA HAD TO LOOK AT THE CHAMBERS OF DEFILEMENT, it is written, "take to you a wife of harlotry..." IT IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND why a true prophet should need that. But a man should not enter these chambers OF DEFILEMENT, lest he be drawn to them, as was Noah, as it is written, "and he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and he was uncovered within his tent" (Beresheet 9:21), MEANING THAT HE CLUNG TO THE OTHER SIDE, WHICH IS THE INTOXICATING WINE.

480. הֵיכָלִין דִּמְסָאֲבָא, כֻּלְּהוּ מִסְאָבִין לְמַאן דְּאִתְדָּבַּק בְּהוֹן, וְעַל דָּא כְּתִיב, קַח לְךָ אֵשֶׁת זְנוּנִים וְגוֹ'. וְכִי נְבִיאָה דִּקְשׁוֹט אִצְטְרִיךְ לְדָא. אֶלָּא, בְּגִין דְּאָסִיר לֵיהּ לְבַר נָשׁ לְאַעֲלָא בְּאִינּוּן הֵיכָלִין, בְּגִין דְּלָא יִתְמְשַׁךְ אֲבַתְרַיְיהוּ, כְּגַוְונָא דְּעָבֵד נֹחַ, דִּכְתִּיב וַיֵּשְׁתְּ מִן הַיַּיִן וַיִּשְׁכָּר וַיִּתְגַּל.

Chambers Daughter Door Faith Fear Gates Gomer Grades Holiness (Kedushah) Kedushah (Holiness) Noah Other Side Sin Wine

481. Hosea was afraid to look at the chambersto which the children of Yisrael clung, to be defiled, IN FEAR of being drawn after them, as it is written of Noah "and he drank of the wine, and was drunk: and he was uncovered." Then He said to him "take to you a wife of harlotry, and children of harlotry," THE WIFE OF HARLOTRY BEING MALCHUT OF THE OTHER SIDE, AND THE CHILDREN OF HARLOTRY HER GRADES. It is also written, "So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Divlayim" (Hoshea 1:3), to know what the children of Yisrael clung to and were defiled with and why they left the secret of the Faith, MALCHUT OF HOLINESS, for a strange El, MALCHUT OF DEFILEMENT. And he saw THIS within the first chamber, the opening of all the grades. THEREFORE, IT IS SAID OF HER "SIN CROUCHES AT THE DOOR" (BERESHEET 4:7), FOR AT THE VERY OPENING OF THIS CHAMBER, THE OTHER SIDE CROUCHES, WHICH IS A WIFE OF HARLOTRY. AND THE CHIEFTAIN OF THE OTHER SIDE IS STANDING AT THE GATE.

481. וְהוֹשֵׁעַ דָּחִיל לְאִסְתַּכְּלָא בְּאִינּוּן הֵיכָלִין דְּאִסְתְּאָבוּ בְּהוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאִתְדְּבָּקוּ, דְּלָא יִתְמְשַׁךְ אֲבַתְרַיְיהוּ, כְּמָה דִּכְתִּיב בְּנֹחַ וַיֵּשְׁתְּ מִן הַיַּיִן וַיִּשְׁכָּר וַיִּתְגַּל. עַד דְּאָמַר לֵיהּ, קַח לְךָ אֵשֶׁת זְנוּנִים וְיַלְדֵי זְנוּנִים. וּכְתִיב וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיִּקַּח אֶת גֹּמֶר בַּת דִּבְלָיִם. לְמִנְדַּע בְּמָה דְּאִתְדְּבָּקוּ וְאִסְתְּאָבוּ, וְשָׁבְקוּ רָזָא דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא, בְּגִין אֵל נֵכָר. וְעַל דָּא, חָמָא מִגוֹ הֵיכָלָא דָּא, שֵׁירוּתָא דְּכָל דַּרְגִּין.

Chambers Dwellings Grades Light

482. This chamber is the start for all who ascend the grades. It is a compartment within the light, to be adorned with its grades, through which to look at the supernal grades, as it is written, "and they saw the Elohim of Yisrael" (Shemot 24:10). BECAUSE THIS CHAMBER IS AN ASPECT OF MALCHUT, SIGHT PERTAINS TO IT, FOR SIGHT IS ONLY IN MALCHUT.

482. הֵיכָלָא דָּא, שֵׁירוּתָא דְּכֹלָּא, לְסַלְּקָא בְּדַרְגִּין. הַאי הֵיכָלָא, אִיהוּ מָדוֹרָא דְּקַיְּימָא בִּנְהִירוּ. לְאִתְעַטְּרָא בְּדַרְגּוֹי, לְאִסְתַּכְּלָא בְּאִינּוּן דַּרְגִּין עִלָּאִין, דִּכְתִּיב וַיִּרְאוּ אֵת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל.

Chambers Eyes Fire Gates Hands Judgment Merit Soul, The Tahariel (Angel)

483. There is a chieftain appointed over this chamber, by the name of Tahariel. He stands at the gate of the chamber, and all the souls, AFTER PASSING FROM THIS WORLD, mount AND WISH TO ENTER THIS FIRST CHAMBER. This chieftain stands at the gate, together with other chieftains, they are wholly ablaze with fire, with scepters of fire in their hand, all eyed. FOR THERE IS SIGHT IN THIS CHAMBER, IN THE SECRET OF CHOCHMAH CALLED 'EYES', SINCE CHOCHMAH IS REVEALED ONLY WHEN JUDGMENT IS IN THE OPEN. THEREFORE, THEY ARE OF BLAZING FIRE... This chieftain stands on this side, and if the soul, AFTER PASSING FROM THIS WORLD, has the merit to enter, he opens the gate and THE SOUL enters.

483. בְּהַאי הֵיכָלָא, חַד מְמָנָא שַׁמָשָׁא טָהֲרִיאֵ"ל שְׁמֵיהּ. וְאִיהוּ קַיְּימָא עַל פִּתְחָא דְּהַהוּא הֵיכָלָא, וְכָל נִשְׁמָתִין דְּסַלְּקִין, קַיְּימָא הַאי מְמָנָא בְּהַאי פִּתְחָא, וְכַמָּה מְמָנָן אַחֲרָנִין עִמֵּיהּ, כֻּלְּהוּ אֶשָּׁא דִּמְלַהֲטָא, וְשַׁרְבִיטִין דְּאֶשָּׁא בִּידַיְיהוּ, וְכֻלְּהוּ מָארֵי דְּעַיְינִין. הַאי מְמָנָא קַיְּימָא בְּסִטְרָא דָּא, אִי זָכַאַת הַאי נִשְׁמְתָא לְמֵיעַל, הַאי מְמָנָא פָּתַח פִּתְחָא וְעָאלַת.

484. And if the soul has not the merit to enter, BECAUSE IT SINNED IN THIS WORLD, then another chieftain OF THE OTHER SIDE standing at another side, is summoned, together with thousands and myriad of guardians of law and accusers. The other, holy chieftain, pushes it and the other of the side of defilement receives it, and puts it in the chambers of defilement. All the guardians of law and accusers hold it, and bring it down to Gehenom, where it is judged for twelve months. This is the place of correction of the Other Side, a court to judge the wicked.

484. וְאִי לָא זַכָּאַת, הַהוּא מְמָנָא אַחֲרָא דְּקַיְּימָא בְּסִטְרָא אַחֲרָא, זַמִּין, וְכַמָּה אֶלֶף וְרִבְבָן גַּרְדִּינֵי נִימוּסִין עִמֵּיהּ. דָּחֵי לָהּ הַהוּא מְמָנָא אַחֲרָא קַדִּישָׁא, וְנָקִיט לָהּ הַאי אַחֲרָא, דִּי בְּסִטְרָא דִּמְסָאֲבָא, וְאָעִיל לָהּ גּוֹ אִינּוּן הֵיכָלֵי מִסְאֲבֵי. וְכָל אִינּוּן גַּרְדִּינֵי נִימוּסִין אַחְדֵּי לָהּ, עַד דְּנַחְתֵּי לָהּ לַגֵיהִנָּם, וְאִתְדָּנַת תַּמָּן תְּרֵיסָר יַרְחֵי. תִּקּוּנָא דְּהַהוּא סִטְרָא אַחֲרָא, בֵּי דִּינָא לְאַתְדְּנָא בְּהוּ חַיָּיבַיָּא.

Crowns Firmaments Gates Head Prayer Righteous

485. In the same manner is the holy chieftain that stands at the entrance. When all the prayers that cleave airs and firmaments come before the King. If this is a public prayer he opens the gate and brings it in, WHERE IT WAITS until all the prayers in the world become a crown on the head of the righteous one who lives forever, YESOD, as we already explained.

485. כְּגַוְונָא דָּא, הַהוּא מְמָנָא קַדִישָׁא, דְּקַיְּימָא עַל הַהוּא פִּתְחָא, כָּל אִינּוּן צְלוֹתִין, דְּבַקְעֵי אֲוִירִין וּרְקִיעִין, לְמֵיעָאל קַמֵּי מַלְכָּא, אִי צְלוֹתָא דְּסַגִיאִין אִינּוּן פָּתַח פִּתְחָא, וְאָעִיל הַהוּא צְלוֹתָא עַד דְּאִתְעָבֵידוּ כָּל צְלוֹתִין דְּעָלְמָא, עֲטָרָא בְּרֵישָׁא דְּצַדִיק חַי עָלְמִין, כְּמָה דְּאוּקְמוּהָ.

Chambers Door Firmaments Prayer Repentance Sahadiel (Spirit)

486. If the prayer is solitary, it rises until it reaches the entrance of this chamber, where the chieftain stands. If it is good enough to be presented before the Holy King, he immediately opens the door and lets it in. If it is not worthy, he pushes it out, and it goes down and hovers about the world, standing at the lowest of the firmaments in the world below, where there is a chieftain by the name of Sahadiel, in charge over that firmament. He takes all the rejected prayers, called 'unfit prayers', and stores them until that person repents.

486. וְאִי צְלוֹתָא דְּיָחִיד, סַלְּקָא עַד דְּמָטֵי לְפִתְחָא דְּהֵיכָלָא דָּא, דְּהַאי מְמָנָא קַיְּימָא בֵּיהּ. אִי יָאָה הַהִיא צְלוֹתָא, לְאַעֲלָא קַמֵּי מַלְכָּא קַדִישָׁא, מִיַּד פָּתַח פִּתְחָא, וְאָעִיל לָהּ. וְאִי לָא יָאָה, דָּחֵי לָהּ לְבַר, וְנַחְתָא וְאִתְּשַׁטְיָא בְּעָלְמָא, וְקַיְּימָא גּוֹ רְקִיעָא תַּתָּאָה מֵאִינּוּן רְקִיעִין דִּלְתַתָּא, דִּמְדָבְרֵי גּוֹ עָלְמָא, וּבְהַהוּא רְקִיעָא, קַיְּימָא חַד מְמָנָא דִּי שְׁמֵיהּ סָהֲדִיאֵ"ל, וּמְמָנָא עַל הַאי רְקִיעָא. וְנָטִיל כָּל הָנֵי צְלוֹתִין דְּאִתְדַחְיָין, דְּאִקְרוּן צְלוֹתֵי פְּסִילָאן וְגָנִיז לוֹן, עַד דְּתָב הַהוּא ב"נ.

Prayer Repentance Sahadiel (Spirit)

487. If he properly repents before his Master, and prays another, good prayer, then when the good one rises, the chieftain Sahadiel takes the UNFIT prayer and elevates it, until it meets the good prayer and they both rise and intermingle and come before the Holy King.

487. אִי תָּב לְגַבֵי מָארֵיהּ כַּדְקָא יֵאוֹת, וְצַלֵּי צְלוֹתָא אַחֲרָא זַכָּאָה, הַהִיא צְלוֹתָא זַכָּאָה כַּד סַלְּקָא, נָטִיל הַהוּא מְמָנָא סָהֲדִיאֵ"ל הַאי צְלוֹתָא, וְסָלִיק לָהּ לְעֵילָּא, עַד דְּאִעְרַע בְּהַהִיא צְלוֹתָא זַכָּאָה, וְסַלְּקִין וְאִתְעָרְבוּן כַּחֲדָא, וְעָאלִין קַמֵּי מַלְכָּא קַדִישָׁא.

488. Sometimes the prayer is rejected because that man is drawn to the Other Side, where he is defiled. The chieftain of the defiled Other Side takes the prayer, and the defiled Other Side mentions the sins of that man before the Holy One, blessed be He and accuses him above. Therefore, all the prayers and the ascending souls, all stand in front of the FIRST chamber, where the chieftain stands at the gate to show them in or reject them.

488. וּלְזִמְנִין אִתְדַחְיָא הַהִיא צְלוֹתָא, בְּגִין דְּהַהוּא ב"נ אִתְמְשָׁךְ בָּתַר סִטְרָא אַחֲרָא, וְאִיהוּ אִסְתְּאַב בְּהַהוּא סִטְרָא, וְנָטִיל לָהּ הַהוּא מְמָנָא דִּי בְּהַהוּא סִטְרָא אַחֲרָא מְסַאֲבָא. וּכְדֵין קַיְּימָא הַהוּא סִטְרָא אַחֲרָא מְסַאֲבָא. סָלִיק וְאַדְכַּר חוֹבוֹי דְּהַהוּא ב"נ קָמֵי קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, וְאַסְטֵי עָלֵיהּ לְעֵילָּא. וְעַל דָּא, כָּל צְלוֹתִין, וְכָל נִשְׁמָתִין, כַּד סַלְּקִן, כֻּלְּהוֹן סַלְּקִן וְקַיְימָן קָמֵי הֵיכָלָא דָּא. וְהַאי מְמָנָא קַיְּימָא עַל פִּתְחָא דְּהֵיכָלָא דָּא, לְאַעֲלָא נִשְׁמָתִין וּצְלוֹתִין, אוֹ לְדַחְיָיא לוֹן לְבַר.

Chambers Gates Prayer Repentance

489. Above this gate OF THE CHAMBER, there is another opening dug by the Holy One, blessed be He. It is opened three times a day, NAMELY, THE THREE COLUMNS SHINE IN IT. It is never closed, but stands OPEN for those who repent and shed tears in their prayers before their Master. All the gates and openings are closed, until given permission, save the gates called 'the gates of tears', WHICH DO NOT NEED PERMISSION TO BE OPENED.

489. לְעֵילָּא מֵהַאי פִּתְחָא, אִית פִּתְחָא אַחֲרָא, דְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא חָתִיר לָהּ וְאִתְפְּתַח תְּלַת זִמְנֵי בְּיוֹמָא, וְלָא אַנְעִיל, וְקַיְּימָא לְאִינּוּן מָארֵיהוֹן דְּתִיוּבְתָא, דִּי אוֹשְׁדִין דִּמְעָה בִּצְלוֹתְהוֹן קָמֵי מָארֵיהוֹן. וְכָל תַּרְעִין וּפִתְחִין נִנְעָלוּ, עַד דְּעַיְילֵי בִּרְשׁוּתָא, בַּר תַּרְעִין אִלֵּין, דְּאִקְרוּן שַׁעְרֵי דִּמְעָה.

Angels Animals Gates Hundred Prayer Wheel

490. When the tearful prayer rises through these gates, a wheel chances, NAMELY, AN ANGEL OF THE ASPECT OF MALCHUT CALLED 'WHEEL', standing on six hundred large living creatures, called 'Rachamiel'. He takes the tearful prayer, the prayer enters to be united above, and the tears stay, engraved upon the opening DUG BY THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE.

490. וְכַד הַאי צְלוֹתָא דְּדִמְעָה סַלְּקָא לְעֵילָּא, לְאַעֲלָא בְּאִינּוּן תַּרְעִין, אִזְדָּמַן הַהוּא אוֹפָן דְּקַיְּימָא עַל שִׁית מֵאָה חֵיוָון רַבְרְבָן, וְרַחֲמִיאֵ"ל שְׁמֵיהּ, וְנָטִיל הַהִיא צְלוֹתָא, בְּאִינּוּן דִּמְעִין, צְלוֹתָא עָאלַת וְאִתְקָשָּׁרַת לְעֵילָּא. וְאִינּוּן דִּמְעִין אִשְׁתָּאֲרוּ הָכָא, וּרְשִׁימִין בְּהַאי פִּתְחָא.

Chariot Correction (Tikun) Destruction Earth Face Peace Righteous Temple, The Tikun (Correction)

491. There are other tears, forever engraved upon the supernal Chariots, and they are not wiped. These are the tears shed above and below when the Temple was destroyed, as it is written, "Behold, the mighty ones shall cry outside: ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly" (Yeshayah 33:7). And those are the tears shed for the righteous and meritorious who pass from this world. They are all taken by these Chariots to be mingled with the tears shed for the destruction of the Temple. Therefore it is written, IN THE FUTURE TENSE, "and Hashem Elohim will wipe away tears from off all faces" (Yeshayah 25:8). What are "all faces"? they are the holy supernal Chariots. Then "the insult of His people shall He take away from off all the earth: for Hashem has spoken it" (Ibid.). THIS WILL HAPPEN AT THE END OF THE CORRECTION.

491. וְאִית דִּמְעִין אַחֲרָנִין, וּרְשִׁימִין תָּדִיר עַל כֹּל אִינּוּן רְתִיכִין עִלָּאִין, דְּלָא אִתְמְחוּן. אִלֵּין אִינּוּן דִּמְעִין, דְּאוֹשְׁדוּ לְעֵילָּא וְתַתָא, כַּד אִתְחָרַב בֵּי מַקְדְשָׁא, דִּכְתִיב הֵן אֶרְאֶלָּם צָעֲקוּ חוּצָה מַלְאֲכֵי שָׁלוֹם מַר יִבְכָּיוּן. וְאִינּוּן דִּמְעִין דְּאוֹשְׁדִין עַל צַדִיקַיָּיא, וְזַכָּאִין, כַּד מִסְתַּלְּקֵי מֵעָלְמָא. כֻּלְּהוּ נַטְלֵי לוֹן אִינּוּן רְתִיכִין, וְעַרְבֵי לוֹן בְּאִינּוּן דִּמְעִין, דְּאִתוֹשְׁדוּ עַל חָרִיבוּ דְּבֵי מַקְדְשָׁא וְעַל דָּא כְּתִיב, וּמָחָה יְיָ' אֱלֹהִים דִּמְעָה מֵעַל כָּל פָּנִים. מַאן פָּנִים. אִלֵּין רְתִיכִין עִלָּאִין קַדִישִׁין. וּלְבָתַר וְחֶרְפַּת עַמּוֹ יָסִיר מֵעַל כָּל הָאָרֶץ כִּי יְיָ' דִּבֵּר.

492. In this chamber there is one spirit called 'Situt'riyah', looking like a sapphire glittering on all sides. It is facing both sides, ILLUMINATING RIGHT AND LEFT. From them spreads a glow, like that of a candle, as we explained. IT SHINES upon several sides, NAMELY, FOUR SIDES. Some colors are blazing from this LIGHT of the right side.

492. בְּהַאי הֵיכָלָא, אִית רוּחַ דְּאִקְרֵי סִטוּטְרִיָ"ה, וְהַאי אִיהוּ חֵיזוּ סָפִירָא, דְּנָצִיץ לְכָל עֵיבָר, וְהַאי אִיהוּ דְּקַיְּימָא לִתְרֵין סִטְרִין, וּמֵאִלֵּין מִתְפָּרְשָׁאן נְצִיצִין כִּנְצִיצוּ דְּשַׁרְגָא, כְּמָה דְּאוֹקִימְנָא בְּכַמָּה סִטְרִין. וְכַמָּה גַּוְונִין מְלַהֲטָן מֵהַאי בְּסִטְרָא דִּימִינָא.

Chambers Eden Female Firmaments Flow Male Righteous Rivers Soul, The Staturiyah (Spirit) Zeir Anpin

493. When the upper firmament, the river that goes and flows from Eden, YESOD OF ZEIR ANPIN, brings out souls to take them to the seventh chamber above, BINAH OF THE CHAMBERS, this seventh chamber receives them. When the holy souls go out of the seventh chamber, they descend until they reach this FIRST chamber, where this holy spirit named Situt'riyah of the right, takes them. And all the male souls, destined to flourish and be clothed by male righteous, WHICH ARE OF the right, are taken BY THAT SPIRIT, and detained until they are comprised with female souls.

493. כַּד הַהוּא רְקִיעָא עִלָּאָה, נָהָר דְּנָגִיד וְנָפִיק מֵעֵדֶן, אַפִיק נִשְׁמָתִין, לְאַעֲלָא גּוֹ הֵיכָלָא שְׁבִיעָאָה לְעֵילָּא, הַהוּא הֵיכָלָא שְׁבִיעָאָה נָקִיט לוֹן. וְכַד נַפְקֵי אִינּוּן נִשְׁמָתִין קַדִישִׁין, מִגוֹ הַהוּא הֵיכָלָא שְׁבִיעָאָה, נַחְתִין עַד דְּמָטוּן לְהַאי הֵיכָלָא, וְנָקִיט לוֹן הַאי רוּחָא קַדִישָׁא סִטוּטְרִיָ"ה שְׁמֵיהּ, דְּאִיהוּ לִימִינָא. וְכָל אִינּוּן נִשְׁמָתִין דְּכוּרִין, דְּאִינּוּן זְמִינִין לְאִתְפָּרְחָא בְּזַכָּאִין דְּכוּרִין, לִימִינָא כֻּלְּהוּ נָקִיט לוֹן, וּמִתְעַכְּבֵי תַּמָּן, עַד דְּאִתְכְּלִילוּ בְּנִשְׁמָתִין דְּנוּקְבֵי.

Adiriyah Sanug'ya (Spirit) Atzilut Chambers Female Rivers Soul, The Staturiyah (Spirit) Zeir Anpin

494. From this spirit, CALLED 'SITUT'RIYAH', another spirit issues, of the left, which is seen FIRST BY ITSELF, then concealed, included within the first spirit, so they become one, comprising each other. The other spirit is called 'Adiriyah Sanug'ya'. This is a spirit of the left side. Its business is TO RECEIVE FEMALE SOULS, when the seventh chamber yearns to cling to the river that is drawn and goes out, WHICH IS YESOD OF ZEIR ANPIN OF ATZILUT. This desire that mounts from below upwards, produces souls according to its pleasure, and they are female. SINCE THIS SPIRIT IS OF GVURAH AND THE LEFT COLUMN, IT IS CALLED 'ADIRIYAH' (FROM HEB. ADIR, LIT. 'GREAT'), FOR HE IS IMMENSE.

495. When the desire of that river, YESOD OF ZEIR ANPIN, descends and joins from above downward, it creates male souls. The desire OF YESOD above creates male souls, and below, IN MALCHUT, IN WHICH THE SEVENTH CHAMBER IS INCLUDED, it creates female souls.

495. וְכַד רְעוּתָא דְּהַהוּא נָהָר, נַחְתָּא וְאִתְדַּבְּקָא מֵעֵילָּא לְתַתָּא, עַבְדִּין נִשְׁמָתִין דְּכוּרִין. רְעוּתָא דִּלְעֵילָּא עָבֵיד דְּכוּרִין. רְעוּתָא דִּלְתַּתָּא עָבֵיד נוּקְבִין.

496. When the female souls depart from the seventh chamber, they descend until they reach the spirit of the left called 'Adiriyah'. It is ALSO called "sapphire stone" (Shemot 24:10). FOR THE FIRST SPIRIT, SITUT'RIYAH, IS CALLED 'SAPPHIRE' AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LEFT IS CALLED "SAPPHIRE STONE," as we explained in other ways THE SECRET MEANING OF THE VERSE, "AND THERE WAS UNDER HIS FEET A KIND OF PAVED WORK OF A SAPPHIRE STONE" (IBID.).

496. וְכַד אִלֵּין נִשְׁמָתִין נוּקְבִין נָפְקִין מִגּוֹ הַהוּא הֵיכָלָא שְׁבִיעָאָה, נַחְתִּין עַד דְּמָטוּ לְהַאי רוּחָא שְׂמָאלָא, דְּאִקְרֵי אַדִּירִיָּ"הּ. וְאִקְרֵי לִבְנַ"ת הַסַּפִּי"ר. כְּמָה דְּאוֹקִימְנָא בְּסִטְרִין אַחֲרָנִין.

497. Once the female souls reach that spirit, ADIRIYAH, he takes them and they remain there. Then the spirit of the left is included within the spirit of the right, and the souls are completed, male and female together, and soar from this chamber, to be again divided within people, WHEN THEY COME TO BE CLOTHED, each according to their disposition, A MALE SOUL WOULD BE CLOTHED BY A MALE, AND A FEMALE SOUL BY A FEMALE. Then they GET MARRIED AND come together.

497. כֵּיוָן דְּמָטוּ לְהַאי רוּחָא אִינּוּן נִשְׁמָתִין נוּקְבִין, נַקְטָא לוֹן הַאי רוּחָא, וְקַיְימָאן בֵּיהּ. וּלְבָתַר אִתְכְּלִילוּ רוּחָא דָּא דִּשְׂמָאלָא, בְּרוּחָא דָּא דִּימִינָא. וּכְדֵין אִתְעָבִידוּ אִינּוּן נִשְׁמָתִין, כְּלִילָן דְּכַר וְנוּקְבָּא כַּחֲדָא וּפַרְחָאן מֵהַאי הֵיכָלָא וְאִתְפָּרְשָׁן בִּבְנֵי נָשָׁא. כָּל חַד כְּפוּם אָרְחֵיהּ, וּלְבָתַר מִזְדַּוְּוגָן כַּחֲדָא.

498. When the spirit of the left comes to be included within the spirit of the right, they strike each other to be included, and sparks spread on all sides. Wheels are made from the sparks coming from the spirit of the left, as it is written, "the appearance of the wheels and their work was like the color of an emerald" (Yechezkel 1:16). These are the wheels, which blaze in the fire, singing.

498. כַּד אָתָא לְאִתְכַּלְּלָא רוּחָא דָּא דִּשְׂמָאלָא בִּימִינָא, בָּטַשׁ דָּא בְּדָא לְאִתְכַּלְּלָא. וְנַפְקֵי נְצִיצִין דְּמִתְפַּשְּׁטֵי לְכָל עֵיבָר, וְאִתְעָבֵידוּ אִינּוּן אוֹפַנִּים מִנַּיְיהוּ, מֵאִינּוּן נְצִיצִין דְּנַפְקֵי מִגּוֹ רוּחָא שְׂמָאלָא, דִּכְתִּיב בְּהוּ, מַרְאֶה הָאוֹפַנִּים וּמַעֲשֵׂיהֶם כְּעֵין תַּרְשִׁישׁ. וְאִלֵּין אִינּוּן אוֹפַנִּים דִּמְלַהֲטָן אֶשָּׁא, וְקַיְימִין בְּשִׁירָתָא.

499. Once they were perfumed, a spirit by its fellow spirit, LEFT AND RIGHT, they were included together. Then one light was born and came out, went up and down, and settled upon the four rows of the wheels. It is the one living creature controlling them, ABOUT WHICH WAS SAID: "THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING CREATURE WAS IN THE WHEELS" (IBID. 20). It is called "a flash of lightning" (Ibid. 14). This flash of lightning illuminates as a gleaming light of a flame, and rules over the wheels.

499. כֵּיוָן דְּאִתְבְּסָמוּ רוּחָא בְּרוּחָא, וְאִתְכְּלִילוּ כַּחֲדָא, כְּדֵין נָפְקָא חַד נְהִירוּ דְּסַלְּקָא וְנַחְתָּא, וּמִתְיַשְּׁבָא עַל אַרְבַּע שׁוּרִין דְּאוֹפַנִים, וְאִיהוּ חַד חֵיוָתָא דְּשַׁלְטָא עָלַיְיהוּ, וְאִקְרֵי בָּזָק, הַאי בָּזָק נָהִיר בִּנְהוֹרָא דְּנָצִיץ גּוֹ שַׁלְהוֹבָא, וְשַׁלְטָא עַל כָּל אִינּוּן אוֹפַנִּים.

This is not the firmament above the heads of the living creatures. And the flash of lightning is in charge over THE FIRMAMENT and the high spirit SITUT'RIYAH, included IN ADIRIYAH, in charge over all.

Then comes the great minister Sandalphon, the high spirit and ruler over all, and when Yisrael finished saying their prayers, he takes them from this firmament, rises with them and ties them as knots to their Master, as we explained.

501. כָּל אִינּוּן צְלוֹתִין, דִּמְקַדְּמֵי עַל לָא סַיְימֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כֻּלְּהוּ צְלוֹתֵהוֹן, מִתְעַכְּבֵי בְּהַאי רְקִיעָא, וְהַאי בָּזָק דְּשַׁלְטָא עַל הַאי רְקִיעָא, מְתַקֵּן לוֹן. עַד דְּאָתָא סַנְדַּלְ"פוֹן רַב מְמָנָא, רוּחַ עִלָּאָה, דְּשַׁלִּיט עַל כֹּלָּא, וְכַד סַיְימֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כֻּלְּהוּ צְלוֹתִין, נָטִיל לוֹן מֵהַאי רְקִיעָא, וְסַלְּקָא וְקָשִׁיר לוֹן קִשְׁרִין לְמָארֵיהּ כְּמָה דְּאוּקְמוּהָ.

This is called 'the book of remembrance', as it is written, "and a book of remembrance was written before Him" (Malachi 3:16), BOOK BEING MALCHUT AND REMEMBRANCE YESOD. IT IS WRITTEN, "before Him" because the book of the remembrance is written by one knot, NAMELY BY UNITY FACE TO FACE.

Within this chamber is THE HOLY NAME Ya'ahadonahi, comprising the two names, YUD HEI VAV HEI ADONAI INTERLACED, since it is a spirit within spirit, AS THERE ARE TWO RULING SPIRITS, SITUT'RIYAH, WHICH IS MALE, AND ADIRIYAH, WHICH IS FEMALE. THE NAME YUD HEI VAV HEI IS OF THE SIDE OF THE MALE SPIRIT, AND THE NAME ADONAI IS OF THE SIDE OF THE FEMALE. Since the name YA'AHADONAHI comprises THE TWO SPIRITS, in the secret of spirit in spirit, that are including each other, and shining within one another; then everything illuminates, and the light goes up and down, as the light of the sun upon the water.

Through this PILLAR mounts the lower spirit to the upper spirit OF THE SECOND CHAMBER, so the spirits may be united.
