179. Rabbi Yosi said: It is written, "And has founded His bundle (Heb. v'agudato) on the earth" (Amos 9:6). It is His "bundle" when the King, ZEIR ANPIN, mates towards MALCHUT, CALLED 'EARTH,' with all those holy diadems gathered as one. Then it says, "His bundle."
180. Rabbi Yitzchak said: "His bundle," (Heb. v'agudato) resembles the words, "And take a bunch (Heb. agudat) of hyssop" (Shemot 12:22). HE ASKS: What does this mean? HE ANSWERS: When ZEIR ANPIN AND MALCHUT are joined together, and MALCHUT is blessed by THE THREE COLUMNS OF ZEIR ANPIN, She rules over everything; NAMELY, THE THREE COLUMNS OF ZEIR ANPIN ARE CLOTHED BY HER AND SHE RULES OVER THEM. She then illuminates above and below. All this is when the priest is at his service offering a sacrifice, burning incense, concentrating upon drawing everything near into one union. Then it is written: "...and has founded his bundle on the earth."
181. Rabbi Yosi said: When Aaron, THE SECRET OF THE RIGHT COLUMN, CHESED OF ZEIR ANPIN, journeys TO GIVE ABUNDANCE TO MALCHUT, they all journey with him, NAMELY ALL THE THREE COLUMNS, until the Congregation of Yisrael is blessed BY THE THREE COLUMNS. The upper beings, THE SFIROT OF ZEIR ANPIN, are blessed as are the lower beings, THE SFIROT OF MALCHUT. Then, it is written: "Blessed be Hashem out of Zion, he who dwells in Jerusalem, Halleluyah" (Tehilim 135:21), AS ZEIR ANPIN, CALLED 'YUD HEI VAV HEI' IS BLESSED OUT OF ZION, YESOD OF MALCHUT. "And blessed be His glorious Name forever and let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen and Amen" (Tehilim 72:19), SINCE THE NAME OF HIS GLORY, WHICH IS MALCHUT, IS BLESSED FROM ZEIR ANPIN.
