Tazria: Chapter 7

"But if she bear a female child"

Synopsis

Rabbi Elazar says that a female child comes from the left side, that has more power than the right. In order to let the spirit be clothed in a body, Malchut separates from Zeir Anpin.

Body Children Female Nukva Shepherd Strength Zeir Anpin

30. "But if she bear a female child" (Vayikra 12:5), NAMELY as I interpreted, SINCE the left side has more power and the right is subdued before it. Hence it is all doubled. The Nukva, MALCHUT, is separated from the Male, ZEIR ANPIN, TO LET the spirit attach TO BE CLOTHED in a body, since the left does not settle in the body as well as the right, since it abides more in the strength OF GVUROT.

30. וְאִם נְקֵבָה תֵלֵד. כְּמָה דְּאוֹקִימְנָא, דְּשַׁלְטָא סְטָר שְׂמָאלָא יַתִיר וְאִתְכַּפְיָא יְמִינָא, וְעַל דָּא כֺּלָּא עַל חַד תְּרֵין, רְחִיקָא נוּקְבָּא, מִדְּכוּרָא, לְאִתְקַשְּׁרָא רוּחָא בְּגוּפָא, דְּהָא שְׂמָאלָא לָא אִתְיַישְׁבָא הָכִי כִּימִינָא, וְאִשְׁתְּכָחַת בְּתוּקְפָא יַתִיר.
