51. Come and see: when it is a time of goodwill before the Holy One, blessed be He, to unite the supernal Chariot with the lower Chariot so that they would become one, a voice issues from the uppermost holy place, which is called heaven, ZEIR ANPIN, and gathers all those who are holy down below, NAMELY, THE RIGHTEOUS IN THIS WORLD, all the holy ministers, MICHAEL, GABRIEL, URIEL AND RAPHAEL, and all the upper hosts, THE ANGELS, so that all would be ready together. This is the meaning of "And Moses gathered"-Moses is the secret of heaven, ZEIR ANPIN, "all the Congregation of the children of Yisrael" - these are the twelve upper holy hosts, WHICH ARE THE LOWER CHARIOT, UPON WHICH MALCHUT RIDES, AND THEY LIFT MALCHUT TO BE UNITED WITH ZEIR ANPIN.
51. ת"ח, כַּד קַיְּימָא שַׁעֲתָא דִּרְעוּתָא קַמֵּי קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, לְיַחֲדָא רְתִיכָא עִלָּאָה בִּרְתִּיכָא תַּתָּאָה, לְמֶהֱוֵי כֹּלָּא חַד. כְּדֵין קָלָא נָפִיק, מֵהַהוּא אֲתָר עִלָּאָה קַדִּישָׁא, דְּאִקְרֵי שָׁמַיִם, וְכָנִישׁ כָּל אִלֵּין קַדִּישִׁין דִּלְתַתָּא, וְכָל אִינּוּן רַבְרְבָן קַדִּישִׁין, וּמַשִׁרְיָין עִלָּאִין, לְמֶהֱוֵי כֻּלְּהוּ זְמִינִין כַּחֲדָא, הה"ד, וַיַּקְהֵל מֹשֶׁה, דָּא רָזָא דְּשָׁמַיִם. אֶת כָּל עֲדַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, אִלֵּין אִינּוּן תְּרֵיסַר מַשִׁרְיָין עִלָּאִין קַדִּישִׁין.
52. "And he said to them." What did he say? "This is the thing... Take from among you an offering" (Shemot 35:4-5), which means, prepare yourself, all of you, to bear and carry upon you the honor of the holy throne, WHICH IS MALCHUT, to raise it, TO ZEIR ANPIN.
52. וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם. וּמַאי קָאָמַר זֶה הַדָּבָר וְגוֹ', קְחוּ מֵאִתְּכֶם תְּרוּמָה, אִתְתָּקָנוּ כֻּלְּכוּן, לְסַלְּקָא עָלַיְיכוּ, וּלְמֵיטַל עָלַיְיכוּ, יְקָרָא דְּכֻרְסְיָיא קַדִּישָׁא, לְסַלְּקָא לְעֵילָּא.
53. Allocate from among you the honored, the elevated ministers, MICHAEL, GABRIEL, URIEL AND RAPHAEL, to raise this offering, which is the secret of the holy throne, MALCHUT, to be united with the patriarchs, WHO ARE CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET OF ZEIR ANPIN. And it is not meet that the Matron, MALCHUT, come to her husband, unescorted by virgin maidens who come with her and conduct her to her husband, ZEIR ANPIN, as is said, "the virgins, her companions that follow her" (Tehilim 45:15). Wherefore all that? To bring her to join her husband, ZEIR ANPIN.
53. אַפְרִישׁוּ מִנַּיְיכוּ אִינּוּן יַקִּירִין, אִינּוּן רַבְרְבִין עִלָּאִין, לְסַלְּקָא לְהַהִיא תְּרוּמָה, רָזָא דְּכֻרְסְיָיא קַדִּישָׁא, לְאִתְחַבְּרָא בַּאֲבָהָן, דְּהָא מַטְרוֹנִיתָא לָא אִתְחֲזֵי לְמֵיתֵי לְבַעְלָהּ, אֶלָּא בְּאִינּוּן בְּתוּלְתָּן עוּלֶמְתָּהָא, דְּיֵיתוּן עִמָּהּ, וּמְדַּבְּרָן לָהּ, עַד דְּמָטַת לְבַעְלָהּ, כְּמָה דְּאַתְּ אָמַר, בְּתוּלוֹת אַחֲרֶיהָ רְעוּתֵיהּ וְגוֹ', וְכָל כַּךְ לָמָּה, לְמֵיתֵי לְאִתְחַבְּרָא בְּבַעְלָהּ.
54. "Whoever is of a willing (Heb. nediv) heart" (Shemot 35:5) refers to the four hosts of high angels THAT COME FROM NETZACH, HOD, YESOD AND MALCHUT OF MALCHUT; in them are included all the other hosts, NAMELY THE TWELVE HOSTS. SINCE EACH OF THE FOUR HOSTS CONSISTS OF THREE HOSTS, THEY ARE ALTOGETHER TWELVE. And those who come out of the high patriarchs, CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET, are called nobles. As we stated, that it is written about the well, "that the nobles of (Heb. nedivei) the people delved" (Bemidbar 21:18). 'Nobles' refers to the fathers.
54. כֹּל נְדִיב לִבּוֹ, אִלֵּין אִינּוּן אַרְבַּע מַשִׁרְיָין עִלָּאִין, דְּבִכְלָלָא דִּלְהוֹן כְּלִילָן, כָּל אִינּוּן שְׁאַר מַשִׁרְיָין, וְאִלֵּין אִינּוּן דְּנַפְקָן בַּאֲבָהָן עִלָּאִין, דְּאִקְרוּן נְדִּיבִים. כְּמָה דְּאוּקְמוּהָ, דִּכְתִּיב כָּרוּהָ נְדִיבֵי הָעָם, אִלֵּין אֲבָהָן.
55. HE ASKS: It is written "he will bring it (Heb. yevi'eha)" (Shemot 35:5) and not "they will bring it"; AND SAYS, "he will bring it" WHICH IS IN THE SINGULAR, INDICATES the unifying of everything into one, THAT IS TO SAY THE MALE AND FEMALE PRINCIPLES. Also, it does not say 'he will bring (Heb. yavi)' but "he will bring it (Heb. yevie'ha)," TO INDICATE MALCHUT WHICH IS CALLED AN OFFERING, to be given to her husband honorably as is proper. "an offering to Hashem," the particle 'Et', before "an offering," comes to add all the other hosts of angels, so that everything should be united into one, to make twelve HOSTS into one, WHICH ARE "gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and acacia wood, and oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense" (Ibid. 5-8) WHICH ARE THE TWELVE KINDS. These are the highest twelve hosts, that are included in these four, which are called the holy living creatures. FOR EACH LIVING CREATURE CONSISTS OF THREE, SO TOGETHER THERE ARE TWELVE.
55. יְבִיאֶהָ, יְבִיאוּהָ לָא כְּתִיב, אֶלָּא יְבִיאֶהָ, לְיַחֲדָא כֹּלָּא כַּחֲדָא. וְכֵן יָבִיא לָא כְּתִיב, אֶלָּא יְבִיאֶהָ, לְסַלְּקָא לָהּ לְגַבֵּי בַּעְלָהּ בִּיקָרָא, כְּמָה דְּאִצְטְרִיךְ. אֵת תְּרוּמַת יְיָ', אֶת לְאַסְגָּאָה, כָּל אִינּוּן מַשִׁרְיָין עִלָּאִין אַחֲרָנִין, לְאִתְחַבְּרָא כֹּלָּא כַּחֲדָא, וְאִינּוּן תְּרֵיסַר בִּכְלָלָא חֲדָא. זָהָב. וָכֶסֶף. וּנְחוֹשֶׁת. תְּכֵלֶת. וְאַרְגָּמָן. וְתוֹלַעַת שָׁנִי. וְשֵׁשׁ וְעִזִּים. וְעֹרֹת אֵלִים מְאָדָּמִים. וְעֹרֹת תְּחָשִׁים. וַעֲצֵי שִׁטִּים. וְשֶׁמֶן לַמָּאוֹר. וּבְשָׂמִים לְשֶׁמֶן הַמִּשְׁחָה. וְלִקְטֹרֶת הַסַּמִּים. אִלֵּין אִינּוּן תְּרֵיסַר מַשִׁרְיָין עִלָּאִין, דִּכְלִילָן כֻּלְּהוּ כַּחֲדָא בִּכְלָלָא דְּאַרְבַּע דְּאִקְרוּן חַיוֹת הַקֹּדֶשׁ כְּמָה דְּאִתְּמַר.
56. And all of them ascend to the holy throne, WHICH IS MALCHUT, to lift her up to be united with her husband, ZEIR ANPIN, so that all becomes one, and that he be with her in high glory. Then the supreme King sits on the holy throne, and wife is united with her husband, MALCHUT WITH ZEIR ANPIN, so that everything would be one. Then everyone rejoices.
56. וְכֻלְּהוּ אִלֵּין סַלְּקִין לְכֻרְסְיָיא קַדִּישָׁא, לְאָעֲלָא לָהּ לְעֵילָּא, לְאִתְחַבְּרָא בְּבַעְלָהּ, בְּגִין לְמֶהֱוֵי כֹּלָּא חַד, בְּגִין דְּיִשְׁתְּכַח עִמָּהּ בִּיקָרָא עִלָּאָה. כְּדֵין יָתִיב מַלְכָּא עִלָּאָה עַל כּוּרְסְיָּיא קַדִּישָׁא, וְאִתְחַבְּרָא אִתְּתָא בְּבַעְלָהּ, לְמֶהֱוֵי כֹּלָּא חַד. וּכְדֵין, אִיהוּ חֶדְוָותָא דְּכֹלָּא.
57. Come and see, here the count starts with gold, and then silver, because that reckoning is from below UPWARD, FOR GVURAH, THAT IS GOLD, PRECEDE SILVER THAT IS CHESED. But when counting by the reckoning of the supernal Chariot, the counting starts from the right side first, WHICH IS SILVER, and then left, WHICH IS GOLD. Whence do we derive this? It is written: "The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine" (Chagai 2:8); first silver and then gold, BECAUSE IT RELATES TO THE HIGHER. With the lower Chariot, WHICH IS MALCHUT, it starts with left and then the right, as is written: "gold, and silver, and brass," first gold and then silver.
57. ת"ח, הָכָא שָׁארִי לְמִמְנֵי זָהָב בְּקַדְמֵיתָא, וְכֶסֶף לְבָתַר, בְּגִין דְּהַאי חֶשְׁבֹּנָא מִתַּתָּא. אֲבָל כַּד אָתֵי לְמִמְנֵי מֵחוּשְׁבָּנָא דִּרְתִיכָא דִּלְעֵילָּא, שָׁארִי לְמִמְנֵי מִימִינָא בְּקַדְמֵיתָא, וּלְבָתַר מִן שְׂמָאלָא. מְנָלָן. דִּכְתִּיב, לִי הַכֶּסֶף וְלִי הַזָּהָב. כֶּסֶף בְּקַדְמֵיתָא, וּלְבָתַר הַזָּהָב. וּבִרְתִיכָא דִּלְתַתָּא, שָׁארוּ מִשְּׂמָאלָא וּלְבָתַר מִימִינָא, דִּכְתִּיב זָהָב וָכֶסֶף וּנְחֹשֶׁת. זָהָב בְּקַדְמֵיתָא, וּלְבָתַר כֶּסֶף.
58. And all these Chariots are called "whoever (lit. 'all who') is of a willing heart" (Shemot 35:5). "All," IN THE VERSE "ALL WHO IS OF A WILLING HEART" includes all the other Chariots, WHICH ARE TWELVE. What is heart? It is the secret of the verse "but he that is of a merry heart has a continual feast" (Mishlei 15:15), which refers to the heart of all, and is the holy throne, MALCHUT. Therefore they are called heart. "All who is of a willing heart" is as we stated that the four legions include everything, FOR EACH CONSISTS OF THREE, AND TOGETHER THEY ARE TWELVE, and all are named after the meaning of "all who is of a willing heart." "A heave-offering to Hashem" (Shemot 35:5) is the holy throne. And since they heaved it up and raised itTO ZEIR ANPIN, it is called "an offering to Hashem."
58. וְכָל אִינּוּן רְתִיכִין אִקְרוּן נְדִיב לֵב. כֹּל: לְאַכְלְלָא כָּל שְׁאַר רְתִיכִין. לֵב. מַאי לֵב. הַיְינוּ רָזָא דִּכְתִּיב, וְטוֹב לֵב מִשְׁתֶּה תָּמִיד. וְדָא אִיהוּ לִבָּא דְּכֹלָּא, וְדָא כֻּרְסְיָיא קַדִּישָׁא. וְעַל דָּא אִקְרוּן לֵב. כֹּל נְדִיב לֵב, כְּמָה דְּאוֹקִימְנָא, דְּאַרְבַּע מַשִׁרְיָין אִלֵּין, כְּלָלָא דְּכֻלְּהוּ אִקְרוּן בְּרָזָא חֲדָא, נְדִיב לֵב. תְּרוּמַת יְיָ', דָּא כֻּרְסְיָיא קַדִּישָׁא. וּבְגִין דְּאָרִימוּ לָהּ לְעֵילָּא, וְסַלְּקִין לָהּ לְעֵילָּא, אִקְרֵי תְּרוּמַת יְיָ'.
59. For that reason, when Ezekiel saw the secret of the living creatures, that were raising MALCHUT TO UNION, he did not see what they were raising, THAT IS-MALCHUT THAT IS RIDING UPON THEM, because she went to the highest King, ZEIR ANPIN, hidden and secretly, within the supreme glory.
59. וְעַל דָּא, כַּד חָמָא יְחֶזְקֵאל רָזָא דְּחַיּוֹת, דַּהֲווֹ סַלְּקִין, לָא חָמָא מַהוּ דְּסַלְּקִין, בְּגִין דְּאִיהִי סַלְּקָא לְגַבֵּי מַלְכָּא עִלָּאָה בִּגְנִיזוּ בִּטְמִירָא בִּיקָרָא עִלָּאָה.
60. "And every wise hearted man among you" (Shemot 35:10) refers to the sixty sources, CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET, NETZACH, HOD AND YESOD WITHIN ZEIR ANPIN, EACH CONTAINING TEN, that water the world, WHICH IS MALCHUT. From them it is watered. "shall come" (Ibid.) - why is it written? AND HE ANSWERS: For they shall come to receive from the treasury of life, WHICH IS BINAH. Afterwards they will do what the Holy One, blessed be He, BINAH, commands them - to cause enjoyment to the world.
60. וְכָל חָכָם לֵב בָכֶם, אִלֵּין אִינּוּן שִׁתִּין מְקוֹרִין, דְּאַשְׁקְיָּא עָלְמָא, וּמִנְּהוֹן אִתְשָׁקֵי. יָבֹאוּ, אֲמַאי יָבֹאוּ. אֶלָּא דְּיֵיתוּן לְמִנְקַט מֵעִם גְּנָזָא דְּחַיִּין. יָבֹאוּ, וּלְבָתַר וַיַּעֲשׂוּ מָה דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא פָּקִיד לוֹן לְאַהֲנָאָה עָלְמָא.
