a. * When the Maatzil wanted to revive the dead
and correct thee !ro"en Melachim that were #a$$en into Olam Beria% He
entenced and raied MAN #ro& !e$ow '(ward. Th'% there wa a Zivug
Elyon de HB de Inner AK% )eneratin) the new MA there% and the
Melachim were corrected.
Ohr Pnimi
*. Revive the dead.
#eanin$ the first se%en fallen Melachim that fell into the se&arated BYA. This
fall is 'onsidered death sin'e they are se&arated there from the (i$ht of life)
meanin$ the Ohr Hochma) as it says) *+isdom &reser%eth the life of him that
hath it., This is the reason that Ohr Hochma is 'alled Ohr Haya ((i$ht of life).
-lso) the three Olamot BYA are 'alled The Se&arated Olamot) sin'e the Ohr
Hochma 'annot e.&and in these &la'es and e%erythin$ in them +ill die +ithout
Hochma. They 'annot /e 'orre'ted e.'e&t throu$h as'ent to Atzilut) meanin$ to
the &la'e +here there is Hochma that 'an e.&and in them.
0en'e) +hen they rise to Olam ha Atzilut they are 'onsidered to ha%e /een
re%i%ed) ha%in$ /een $ranted the Ohr Haya. 1t is +ritten) *When the Maatzil
wanted to revive the dead), meanin$ to raise them from BYA to Atzilut) +hi'h
is the re%i%al of the dead. This is the meanin$ of the 'orre'tion of the se%en
Melachim.
He entenced and raied MAN #ro& !e$ow '(ward.
#eanin$ from ZON to Keter. The matter of raisin$ MAN has already /een
e.&lained (Part ) Ohr Pnimi item 24) and study it there. 0o+e%er) here +e
should understand another &rin'i&al issue2 These MAN are the se%en Orot that
remained of the se%en Melachim) meanin$ the Reshimot that the Orot de ZA
left after their de&arture.
This is so /e'ause on'e the Masach de Ne!udim &urified from its A"iut entirely)
it returned and rose to its Shoresh in Rosh de Ne!udim +ith all the Reshimot
'ontained in it. Sin'e it has already 'ome there) in Behina Ale#h in the Zi"u$ of
%aat de Ne!udim (see Ohr Pnimi item ")) you find that its last Behina is
Behina Ale#h.
0en'e) the Masach did not /e'ome A" /e'ause of its Hit!alelut in the Rosh) /ut
only to the e.tent of the A"iut de Keter) sin'e the last Behina +as lost. Thus)
only Komat Malchut 'ould ha%e 'ome out on it. Thus) you find that the Hey
ata&a (lo+er Hey)) in'or&orated in the Masach) rose from the Eynaim to the
Keter) and the Zi"u$ +as made on Sefirat Keter. 1t turns out that the a/o%e
risin$ of MAN is to the &la'e of Keter.
!. It ha a$read+ !een e,($ained that the even
Orot o# the Melachim de BON roe% &in)$ed and c$othed the three Kavim
HB and Keter% which e,(anded to the end o# the a!ove-&entioned ($ace%
!ein) HGT.
.ow that a!ove Hitpashtut ret'rned to !e co$$ected '(ward and !eca&e
a it #irt wa% when on$+ three were in their ($ace a!ove. It raied the
even $ower Orot with the& to their ($ace% and now a$$ even $ower Orot
were '( in Bina/ ($ace. Thi i !eca'e he i the Mother o# the on% and
there i the ($ace o# the Herayon and !ur.
Ohr Pnimi
0. .ow that a!ove Hitpashtut ret'rned to !e co$$ected '(ward etc. It raied the
even $ower Orot with the& to their ($ace etc. a$$ even $ower Orot.
This a/o%e3mentioned Hit#ashtut +as entirely from Behinat Hey ata&a (lo+er
Hey) in the Eynaim. 4o+) that the Masach has /een &urified entirely from all
the A"iut de 'uf of Behinat Hey ata&a in the Eynaim) they too rose and
de&arted +ith the Masach and the Reshimot to their Shoresh in the Rosh.
56ritten aside /y the author2 this is +here the Zi"u$ de Katnut de Hey ata&a in
the Eynaim 'omes from. 0o+e%er) it is insuffi'ient from Zi"u$ de 'adlut in
'AR sin'e 'AR too are not 'orre'ted for 'adlut. They must raise MAN for
Zi"u$ AB SA' de AK that lo+ers the Hey ata&a from the Eynaim. Thus) +hen
it says that 0e senten'ed and raised MAN) and hen'e there +as the Zi"u$ de
HB) it is only for the des'ent of the Hey ata&a from the Eynaim) li7e the ne+
Ohr de Ne!udim that fissured the Parsa.8
0ere +e must remem/er +hat the 9a% has +ritten a/o%e (Part item 4!)) that
these Achoraim that fell to H' are the Behinat MAN de A()) +hi'h ZON
al+ays raise for them until 'mar i!un.
-lso) you 7no+ that the Hit#ashtut of the three Ka"im KHB to H' are the
Achoraim de Keter and A() that fell to H' (see Part Ohr Pnimi item 6"). 1t
follo+s) that the Reshimot that rose) meanin$ the se%en Orot) are the MAN for
ZON de Atzilut of all Hey Partzufim.
The Achoraim de Keter and A()) +hi'h are the Hit#ashtut of the three Ka"im
KHB) are the MAN for 'AR of all the Partzufim de Atzilut) and remem/er that.
:ou +ill also learn here ho+ ZON) +hi'h are the se%en Orot) raised the MAN
de A()) +hi'h are their Achoraim. This is /e'ause the Hizda!chut of the
Masach of ZA raised the a/o%e3mentioned Hit#ashtut a/o%e) to their Shoresh)
to 'AR) as the 9a% e.&lained (Part item 4!).
In Bina/ ($ace. Thi i !eca'e he i the Mother o# the on% and there i
the ($ace o# the Herayon and !ur.
This is /e'ause the matter of raisin$ MAN a&&lies only to Sefirat Bina. E%en
raisin$ MAN to Malchut is only after it +as 'orre'ted +ith the 'orre'tions of
)ma. The reason is that the entire 'onne'tion of raisin$ MAN is /y Bina;s
'orrelation +ith ZON de Ohr Yashar (see Part ) Ohr Pnimi item 24). 0en'e it
does not a&&ly to the other Sefirot) +hi'h are not in &ossession of this
'orrelation.
c. When the even Orot roe '(ward% the Kelim
that decended into Beria roe '(ward to Atzilut a we$$. However% the+
did not 1oin to)ether. The even Orot were in a tate o# !ur and 2Gimel
contained in Gimel3% and the Ne"udat 4Ne"uda o#5 Malchut wa their
eventh% in the #or& o# #sia le Bar. Li"ewie% the even Kelim were a$o in
that &anner% Gimel contained in Gimel% and Malchut a$on) with the&.
Ohr Pnimi
6. The Kelim that decended into Beria roe '(ward to Atzilut a we$$.
0e tells us that the as'ent of the Orot) meanin$ the Reshimot in the 'orre'tion
of the MAN) 'orre't their Kelim alon$ +ith them to the e.tent that the Reshimot
+ere 'onne'ted in this as'ent. This is /e'ause the Reshimot al+ays re'ei%e the
i!un Kelim. This is +hat he means +hen he says that +hen the se%en Orot rose
u&+ard) the Kelim that des'ended to Beria rose u& in Atzilut as +ell.
However% the+ did not 1oin to)ether.
This means that althou$h the &la'e of the Reshimot is in their Kelim) and
althou$h the Kelim ha%e already /een 'onne'ted /y them to rise into Atzilut) the
Reshimot are still una/le to 'lothe in their Kelim. This is /e'ause the Reshimot
themsel%es still ha%en;t re'ei%ed their 'om&lete 'orre'tion throu$h that as'ent
of MAN< they still need Zi"u$im) 'alled months of )*ur (+ill /e e.&lained in
their &la'e). =y the Reshimot /ein$ in the intestines of Bina) they a'>uire all the
MA% from the Zi"u$im de )*ur and /e'ome 'om&letely 'orre'ted) and then
'lothe their Kelim.
d. However% the Behinat MAN we have
&entioned a!ove% when the+ roe #or the Zivug Elyon% i in ite$# the
&atter o# the acent o# the even Orot a!ove in Bina. Re&e&!er thi
#orward re)ardin) the &eanin) o# the to(ic o# raiin) MAN.
In thi Zivug% a$$ Eser $e%irot #ro& Keter to Malchut &'t !e corrected
!eca'e even GA& are not corrected. Hence% thi Behinat 2raiin)3 o#
thee MAN wa a!ove in AB $AG de AK.
Ohr Pnimi
7. Even GA& are not corrected.
This /e'ause nothin$ of the Mochin de 'adlut that they;d re'ei%ed in Ne!udim
remained in them) /ut only +hat +as in them +hen they +ere first 'reated /y
the Zi"u$ de Hey ata&a in the Ni!"ey Eynaim. 0en'e they la'7 all the Behinot
'adlut. This is +hy it is +ritten that e%en the 'AR are not 'orre'ted.
Hence% thi Behinat 2raiin)3 o# thee MAN wa a!ove in AB $AG de AK.
This means that there is no raisin$ of MAN /ut only from the achton to its
Elyon /y one de$ree) meanin$ from ZON to A()) from A() to AA et'. /ut not to
the one hi$her than it /y t+o de$rees.
1t is +ritten that sin'e 'AR also need i!un) and they too need raisin$ MAN) it
is ne'essary that the ?&&er Behina of raisin$ MAN +ill /e the Rosh SA'. This
is /e'ause the MAN de ZA are 'orre'ted in A() de Ne!udim) MAN de A() in
Keter de Ne!udim) MAN de Keter in Rosh ha Ale#h de Ne!udim) and MAN de
Rosh ha Ale#h de Ne!udim are 'orre'ted in Rosh SA') meanin$ e%ery achton
in its Elyon.
0e says a/o%e that all the MAN to$ether) meanin$ /oth ZA de Ne!udim and
'AR de Ne!udim) rose to 'AR de Ne!udim) +hi'h are se%en Reshimot of se%en
Orot de ZA /ein$ the Achoraim de HB and Keter. 0o+e%er) that does not
mean that all +ere 'orre'ted there to$ether) /ut only $radually. Ea'h achton
raised the MAN of its Elyon to its Ali Elyon) +hi'h in turn) 'orre'ts them for the
Elyon.
Thus) ea'h sorted out a &art of the $eneral MAN and raised them to its Ali
Elyon) until they as'ended to the ?&&er AB SA'.
e. *Th'% !+ raiin) thi a!ove MAN% which are
the a#ore&entioned Orot% the Behinat Ha'a(aH de AB de (odin &ated%

Ohr Pnimi
8. Mochin de AK with Behinat Taamim de &uach.
Thou$h all the Ne!udim) e%en Rosh ha Ale#h in them) e.tend from Ne!udot de
SA') for +hi'h the MAN should ha%e risen only u& to the Ne!udot in Rosh de
SA') in fa't) they rose to Ne!udot de SA'. 0o+e%er) /e'ause +ith this as'ent)
the Zi"u$ de AB SA' o''urred) durin$ +hi'h the He+arat AB that rea'hed SA'
lo+ered the Hey ata&a from the Eynaim de SA' to Peh de SA') this 'onne'ted
the AHP that 'ame out of Rosh de SA'. They return to Behinat Rosh) and the
Ne!udot 'onne't +ith the aamim de SA' into a sin$le de$ree.
1n that state) the Ne!udot de SA' do not merit a name any lon$er) as they are
annulled in the ?&&er Behina in them) /ein$ the aamim. 0en'e) the as'ent of
MAN is also 'onsidered to ha%e risen to the aamim) for the Ne!udot do not
/ear a name) as they are nullified /efore them) as the 9a% has +ritten (Part 6
item 6).
@no+) that from here 'omes the rule that e%ery as'ent of MAN is from the
achton to the Ali Elyon) and the Ali Elyon 'orre'ts them from the Elyon. This
is /e'ause ZON raise the MAN their Elyon) +hi'h are YESHS,) to the Ali
Elyon) +hi'h are A(). A() 'orre't them for YESHS,) and so it is in all the
de$rees.
1t is so /e'ause any as'ent of MAN indu'es the lo+erin$ of the Hey ata&a from
the Ni!"ey Eynaim do+n) /y +hi'h it a'>uires the 'AR. 0en'e) +hen ZON
raise the MAN de YESHS,) they indu'e the lo+erin$ of the Hey ata&a from
the Eynaim de A() do+n+ard. 1n that state YESHS, 'onne't +ith A() into a
sin$le de$ree and YESHS, a'>uires its 'AR) meanin$ Behinat A(). :ou see
that the MAN that ZON raised for YESHS, rose to Behinot A()) meanin$ to
the Hey ata&a in the Eynaim de A()) +hi'h in turn) lo+ered it) thus 'orre'tin$
the Mochin de YESHS,.
Thus) the achton raised the MAN for its Elyon) +hi'h are A(). A() mated
to$ether on the MAN and lo+ered the Hey ata&a from their Eynaim do+n+ard)
and thus 'onne'ted YESHS, to their o+n de$ree) and YESHS, a'>uired its
'AR. 4o+ you 'an understand the 9a%;s 'om&arison (Part 6 item 6) of AB
SA' to A() and YESHS, there.
This matter /e$an in the first as'ent of MAN in the Olamot) /ein$ the as'ent of
MAN of the 1nner NHY de AK to the aamim de Rosh SA' in the 9a%;s +ords
a/o%e (Part 6 item 6)) +hi'h lo+ered the Hey ata&a from Eynaim to Peh de
SA'.
0o+e%er) sin'e here the Hey ata&a rose to Keter) +hi'h is the Metzach) hen'e)
the Hey ata&a des'ended from Metzach to Peh. 1t is +ritten) *9+ raiin) thi
a!ove MAN% which are the a#ore&entioned Orot% the Behinat Ha'a(aH de
AB de (odin &ated% na&e$+ the co$$ective Behinat Mochin de AK with
Behinat Taamim de $AG% which are AH#., This is /e'ause Rosh SA' is
'alled A-zen) Hotem) Peh) /e'ause the ?&&er Behina in it is the Ohr of the
A-zen) meanin$ Bina.
1t 'lothes Partzuf AB de AK from the .hazeh u&+ard to Peh de AB. 0en'e)
H' de AB de AK are 'onsidered Behinat Mochin to SA') and also as the
$eneral Mochin that e.tend from AK. this is /e'ause the first Partzuf de AK is
hi$her than the Olamot and they only shine throu$h H' de AB) +hi'h are the
Mochin de SA' de AK. -fter the He+arat Mochin from these AB e.tends to
Rosh SA') meanin$ to the aamim) the Hey ata&a des'ends from Metzach to
Peh.
Thee Taamim de $AG did not have an+ !rea"in) in the&.
:ou must 7no+ here) that the /rea7in$ /e$ins e%en /efore Olam ha Ne!udim)

+hi'h e.&anded from a*ur de SA' do+n to its Sium Ra$lin (Part 6 item 3).

Pnimi) they mi.ed +ith Behina %alet) +hi'h 'aused the zimtzum in /oth

=e'ause of the mi.in$ of Behina Bet) +hi'h is Bina) in Behina %alet) +hi'h is

Bina and ZON of the Eser Sefirot de NHY +ent 'om&letely out of Atzilut and
/e'ame the Se&arated BYA.
Thus) in SA' too) Bina and ZON de NHY 'ame out and fell to BYA as in the
/rea7in$ of the %essels. 0o+e%er) this o''urred only in Ne!udot de SA' that
e.&anded from a*ur do+n and mi.ed +ith Hey ata&a. 1t does not 'on'ern the

That is +hy it is +ritten that the Zi"u$ de AB +as +ith the AHP) /ein$

/ein$ Behinot Ne!udot de Rosh SA' that +ere /ro7en.
-lthou$h the Elyon is related to the Eser Sefirot de Ne!udim) it is only the

#eanin$ Ha(aYaH filled +ith Ale#hin) li7e that2 Yod He (a" He (
). The fillin$ +ith Ale#hin indi'ates the 'orre'tion of the
/rea7in$ /e'ause this ne+ Ohr that 'omes out of the Zi"u$ de AB and SA'
returns the AHP that +ere /ro7en from the de$ree) to the de$ree as /efore.
This matter is im&lied in the sha&e of the Ale#h ( )) /e'ause it 'ontains t+o
Yodin and a Parsa in /et+een. The first Yod is Keter and Hochma that remained
in the de$ree. This is the Mayim Elyonim. The /ottom Yod is the AHP) meanin$
Bina and ZON that +ere /ro7en from the de$ree) and +ent out. This is the
Mayim achtonim.
The Ka" that se&arates /et+een them is the Parsa) and the Ra!ia that se&arates

the Zi"u$ Elyon de AB SA') fissurin$ that Parsa and 'onne'tin$ the AHP /a'7

E%en thou$h the matter of the /rea7in$ of the AHP ha&&ened /a'7 in Partzuf
Ne!udot de SA') Ha(aYaH de SA' is still filled +ith Yodin) not +ith Ale#hin.
The /rea7in$ +as at the /ottom half of SA') +hi'h are Ne!udot. This is
/e'ause there +eren;t any /rea7in$ in the ?&&er half) as the 9a% said) that there
+eren;t any /rea7in$ in aamim de SA'. 0en'e) its ?&&er half) +hi'h are Yod

(a".
This im&lies the /rea7in$ of the AHP that o''urred there. @no+) that this
in the fillin$ of (a" de SA' is 'onsidered the Shoresh of the name MA de
Ale#hin (see Part 6) Ta/le of Auestions) item 1).

Hochma de MA) A() are Bina de MA) and ZON are ZA de MA) 'alled Otiot.
=o&e o't #ro& the Metzach de AK.
1t means that the as'ent of MAN +as to the Metzach) meanin$ to Sefirat Keter
de Rosh) 'alled 'al$alta) +here the Metzach is. The reason for it is the last
Behina of the Ne!udim is Behina Ale#h. 0en'e) all that remains in the Masach

'uf in itself. 1t is 'alled Partzuf Ati! de Atzilut) +hose &la'e /e$ins at a*ur de

The reason for this Hit#ashtut is the as'ent of the Hey ata&a to the Keter. 1n

Similarly) ea'h and e%ery Sefira of the Eser Sefirot de MA +as di%ided into a

Komat Malchut in any +ay. 1nstead) all those three are on a Koma of a sin$le
Sefira.
The issue of the months of &re$nan'y refers to rene+als of He+arot that the

this )*ur needs to fully 'orre't the entire Atzilut) all the +ay. -lso) /e'ause they

The reason for that is /e'ause all the Behinot diminished) fell and /ro7e durin$

The 9a% said a/o%e (item 2) that they 'ontain all the Partzufim from Olam

The Masach and the Reshimot rose to them) as all these Reshimot are Behinot
ZON that re>uire He+arat Hochma. They had already had He+arat Hochma) for
e%en the four Achoraim de A() and YESHS, are also Reshimot from the
Komot that emer$ed on the MAN of Yesod de AK) 'alled (a" and Ne!uda)
+hi'h are Behinot ZON.
Then) )ma de Ne!udim had to sto& her Behinat Achoraim) and 'ould not do so
/e'ause of the Hey ata&a a/o%e her. Bor that reason the defi'it a&&eared
/e'ause of the zimtzum Hochma /y the for'e of the Hey ata&a o%er her.
=e'ause the defi'it a&&eared) they too had to rise to MAN to their Elyon to
re'ei%e i!un.
Thus) 'AR de Ne!udim +ere for'ed to rise +ith the Masach and the Reshimot
to their Rosh de Elyon) +hi'h is Rosh de SA' de AK) and all of them /e'ame
Behinat MAN to the Rosh de SA'. in the /e$innin$) the Masach +as
in'or&orated in the Zi"u$ de Rosh SA' itself. =y that it did not /e'ome more
A" from the Behinat A"iut in the Keter de Masach /e'ause the last Behina it had
as a Masach in Partzuf Ne!udim is Behina Ale#h) and it is 7no+n that the last
Behina is al+ays lost /y the &ast Hizda!chut.
1t turns out that the Masach 'annot /e'ome more A" no+) /ut only in Behinat
Shoresh) +hi'h is Behinat A"iut de Keter. 1t is therefore 'onsidered that the
Masach de Rosh SA' rose for that Zi"u$ to its Behinat Metzach) meanin$
'al$alta) +hi'h is Keter de Rosh.
The Metzach is a &art of the 'al$alta) /ut it is its Behinat Bina. The Ohr Elyon
mated +ith the Masach and Eser Sefirot 'ame out on it on Komat Malchut. This
is so /e'ause e%en thou$h the Hey ata&a is also in'or&orated in this Masach)
yet /e'ause she stands at Keter) only A"iut de Keter 'an manifest in her)
&rodu'in$ only Komat Malchut. :ou already 7no+ that this Zi"u$ is 'alled
Behinat )*ur and has three Ka"im) 'alled NHY.
0o+e%er) this is still not all of it. 1n this Zi"u$ the Reshimot are not 'orre'ted in
the Masach) only the smaller &art in them. Thus) there +as still $reat &ressure
there) due to the a/undan'e of Ohr of all the Reshimot that need 'orre'tion. 1t is
7no+n that the Reshimot de ZON ha%e a $reat 'onne'tion +ith Behinat Bina)
/ein$ SA') to re'ei%e Behinat He+arat Hochma from her throu$h the
'onne'tion of Bina and ZON de Ohr Yashar.
0en'e) he rose a se'ond time to MAN to SA' de AK. Then Rosh SA' returned
the Panim to the Mochin in it) meanin$ Behinat H' de AB) 'lothed in its Rosh
in Behinot Mochin and Neshama. The AB SA' are found to /e matin$ and the
ne+ Ohr that 'omes out of this Zi"u$ lo+ers the Hey ata&a that rose to
Metzach there) +hen rea'hin$ Rosh SA'.
This is /e'ause Orot de AB are al+ays 'om&lete and there is no /rea7in$ in
them) for +hi'h it lo+ered the Hey ata&a to the &la'e of the Peh) meanin$ in
the &la'e of the Zi"u$) o&eratin$ in AB itself. =e'ause the Hey ata&a 'ame to
its &la'e in the Peh) the Masach re'ei%ed Behina %alet de Hitla*shut from her)
and Behina 'imel de A"iut in her.
1n that state the Ohr Elyon that mated +ith the Masach $enerated Eser Sefirot
on Komat Keter. This Koma emer$ed on the Masach and Reshimot no+
'ontained in Rosh SA' itself. Brom there the Masach des'ended to the &la'e of

out in Komat Keter) +hi'h is Behinat Rosh ha Ale#h de Ne!udim.
The Masach des'ended from there to the &la'e of Peh de Ne!udim and there
too Eser Sefirot 'ame out in Komat Keter. These Eser Sefirot are Behinat Rosh

1n fa't) the Masach should ha%e 'ome do+n to the &la'e of .hazeh de Ne!udim

0o+e%er) 'AR de Ne!udim needed it) for they re'ei%e Komat Keter from it)

Birst +e must understand the differen'e /et+een the ne+ MA and the BON.
@no+) that the entire differen'e is the matter of the as'ent of Hey ata&a. 1n
BON) all its Kelim are from Behinat Hey ata&a in the Eynaim) as they so
emer$ed at their 'reation) and in the ne+ MA) all its Kelim are 'onsidered as
Behinat Hey ata&a that rose in 'al$alta. 1t is so /e'ause this is ho+ it emer$ed
in the /e$innin$ of its 'reation) and anythin$ that 'omes out in a Partzuf in the
/e$innin$ of its 'reation ne%er 'han$es.
E%en thou$h it later re'ei%es additional 'adlut) the Kelim of the Katnut do not
'han$e /y that) mu'h less multi&ly. 1nstead) the same Kelim he had durin$ the
Katnut) in >uantity and >uality) $ro+ in Koma and A"iut durin$ his 'adlut) and
remem/er that.
The Zi"u$ de )*ur of the ne+ MA has already /een e.&lained. 1ts ori$in is the
Masach de 'uf of the Ne!udim that &urified and rose to Rosh de SA'. =y for'e
of its Hit!alelut in the Zi"u$ there) it /e'ame A" only in the measure of the
A"iut of the Keter.
0en'e) +hen it mated +ith the Ohr Elyon) it did not raise Ohr Hozer) /ut only
on Komat Malchut. This is /e'ause the last Behina he had in 'uf de Ne!udim is
Behina Ale#h) and that disa&&eared +ith the Hizda!chut of the Masach.
0o+e%er) you should remem/er that Behinat Hitla*shut al+ays remains) e%en
from the last Behina. 0en'e) here too there is Behina Ale#h de Hitla*shut. 1t
turns out that Komat Behina Ale#h) +hi'h is Komat ZA) 'ame out here as +ell.
0o+e%er) it is Komat Zachar) ha%in$ Zi"u$ only in the Hit!alelut +ith the
Ne!e"a) +hi'h has A"iut) as there is no Zi"u$ /ut only from Behinat A"iut (Part
6) Hista!lut Pnimit item 14).
Thus) there really is Komat ZA here) /ut 'onsiderin$ the Behinat Kelim) there
are only Kelim from Komat Malchut here. Bor that reason it is only named
NHY) /ein$ the three Sefirot in Komat Malchut.
4e%ertheless) of 'ourse there is Komat ZA there as +ell) /ein$ H') meanin$
the three Sefirot thi'7+ise from Komat ZA) /ut they are 'lothed inside NHY.
This is /e'ause this Koma 'omes from Reshimo de Hitla*shut) from +hi'h
there are no Kelim.
@no+) that the name MA is &rimarily Komat ZA /e'ause Komat Malchut is
ne%er 'alled /y the name MA. 0en'e) MA is al+ays 'onsidered half of the
Partzuf of the Zachar. =e'ause there is no Zi"u$ from its o+n Behina) as there
is only Behinat Hitla*shut in it) it 'annot /e 'orre'ted e.'e&t /y Eoinin$ and
mi.in$ +ith the A"iut of the Behinat Ne!e"a. Thus +e ha%e e.&lained the
Zachar and Ne!e"a from the Behinat ne+ MA itself) /ein$ the Reshimo de
Behina Ale#h de Hitla*shut and the Behinat Hey ata&a in 'al$alta) +hi'h is
Komat Malchut from the Behinat A"iut.
6e mi$ht as72 *0o+ then is there Behinat MA in all the Partzufim) sin'e MA is
only Behinat Hitla*shut) unfit for Zi"u$ +ith the Ohr ElyonF Bor that reason it
Eoins +ith the A"iut in the Reshimot of Kelim de BON. That is also the reason
that BON is 'onsidered the Ne!e"a of MA) sin'e his o+n Nu!"a o&erates only
in Rosh de RA%/A) +hi'h is the first Rosh of the ne+ MA. Brom there
do+n+ard it ta7es the Reshimot de A"iut of the BON for itself) as its Behinat
Nu!"a) and remem/er that.
0o+e%er) +e ha%e already e.&lained that the MA of the first Rosh) thou$h it too
has its o+n Behinat Malchut there) it still sorted 'AR de BON for itself as
Behinat Nu!"a. 1ndeed) that Zi"u$ is %ery hidden) and there are also dou/ts
re$ardin$ the Behinot of Nu!"a there) and this is not the &la'e to ela/orate on
them. 1 ha%e already e.&lained the dou/ts in my 'ommentary on the Tree of
(ife *Panim #eirot and Panim #as/irot,) and study it there.
There is a %ery im&ortant rudiment to 7no+ here2 The Ne!e"a of the a/o%e ne+
MA) +hi'h is its Malchut) remains 'on'ealed in Rosh de Ati!. 0o+e%er) she
does not a&&ear at all in all the Partzufim /elo+ Ati!.
@no+ also) that the Hey ata&a) 'on'ealed in the a/o%e Rosh de Ati!) manifests
in the t+o /ottom thirds of Netzah and Hod de Ati!) thou$h /e'ause of that they
+ent out of Atzilut as %adei Behema. 0o+e%er) it does not a&&ear in the entire
Atzilut) /ut only from her Behinat He+arah) and nothin$ of her Behinat Atzmut.
The &rimary differen'e /et+een Kelim de MA and Kelim de BON is durin$ the
Katnut) meanin$ in the )*ur. Cn the &art of the Kelim de BON) there should /e
a 'om&lete Behinat ZA e%en in Behinat )*ur) meanin$ three Ka"im H' and
three Ka"im NHY. This is /e'ause the Katnut de BON is Hey ata&a in the
Eynaim) lea%in$ t+o Kelim in the Behinat Atzilut of all the de$rees) +hi'h are
Keter and Hochma) and eEe'ts Bina and ZON to Behinat BYA.
0en'e) ea'h Partzuf has t+o Orot Ruach Nefesh) 'lothin$ t+o Kelim Keter and
Hochma. 0o+e%er) on the &art of the Kelim de MA) +here the Hey ata&a rose
in Keter) only one Sefira remained in the Atzilut of all the de$rees) namely
Sefirat Keter. The lo+er nine of all the de$rees +ent outside the de$ree.
Bor that reason there is only Behinat ZA de Hitla*shut in the Zi"u$ of the
Katnut) +hi'h is Behinat H') /ut it has no Kelim) +hile Komat Malchut de
A"iut does ha%e Kelim. Thus) H' must 'lothe inside NHY) meanin$ in Kelim
de Komat Malchut.
Brom this e.&lanation you +ill understand the differen'e /et+een 'AR de
Atzilut and ZON de Atzilut. 1n 'AR de Atzilut there are only t+o Zi"u$im2
Zi"u$ de Katnut) 'alled )*ur) and Zi"u$ de 'adlut) thou$h in ZA there are three
Zi"u$im2 )*ur) Yeni!a) Mochin.
The reason is that there is a $reat differen'e /et+een the Nu!"in (&l. for Nu!"a)
of the t+o Partzufim Ati! and AA) and the Nu!"in de A() and ZON. The Nu!"in
de Ati! and AA are from Behinat Keter de Ne!udim +here the /rea7in$ did not
stri7e at all. Bor that reason they +ere left +ith all the Ohr from the Eser
Sefirot that e.tended to them from the Ni!"ey Eynaim de SA') meanin$ the
entire measure that 'ame out durin$ the Katnut de Ne!udim.
1t thus follo+s) that durin$ the Zi"u$ de Ati! and Nu!"a to $enerate Behinat
Katnut de AA) 'alled )*ur) it is /orn out of there 'om&lete) in Komat ZA) +hi'h
are Orot de Ruach Nefesh in Kelim de H' NHY. The Zachar de Ati! is
Behinat MA) and there are no Kelim in his H' sin'e he is 'onsidered ZA of
Hitla*shut. :et) throu$h its stay in Behinat Me&i (intestine) de Nu!"a de Ati!)
+here her Katnut is also from the Hey ata&a in the Ni!"ey Eynaim) he a'>uires
the Kelim de H' o&eratin$ in the Ni!"ey Eynaim.
Thus) e%en the first Zi"u$ of Katnut de Ati! and Nu!"a /rou$ht out Partzuf de
AA) 'om&lete in Komat ZA in Kelim de H' and Kelim de NHY. Similarly)
+hen AA and Nu!"a mated for the Katnut de A()) 'alled )*ur) they too +ere
/orn in Komat ZA) 'om&lete.
This is so /e'ause Nu!"a de ZA too does not need her Zachar in the Behinat
Zi"u$ de Katnut) sin'e she is Behinat Keter de Ne!udim. 0en'e she $a%e A()
the Kelim de H' from the Behinat Hey ata&a in the Eynaim) and A() 'ame
out in 'om&lete Kelim de H' and NHY.
0o+e%er) they la'7 'AR) for +hi'h they rose a se'ond time for MAN) for Zi"u$
de 'adlut) +here Ati! and Nu!"a emanated the 'AR at one time for AA. -lso)
AA and Nu!"a mated and emanated 'AR to A(). 1t turns out that they +ere
'om&leted in t+o Zi"u$im.
1t is not so +ith ZA /e'ause the Nu!"a is not 'om&lete in A()) e%en from the
Behinat Katnut de BON. 0en'e) e%en the Behinat Katnut de BON needs to
re'ei%e from her Zachar from the Behinat MA.
1t turns out that the Zi"u$ de A() de Katnut for the )*ur de ZON +as in )*ur /y
the for'e of MA. Sin'e MA is only Komat ZA of Behinat Hitla*shut) and in
Behinat A"iut it has only Komat Malchut) it therefore has only Kelim de NHY.
-s a result) Komat H' must 'lothe inside NHY.
=e'ause of that ZA is /orn only on Komat NHY) +here the Behinot H' is
'lothed in it) and it has only Kelim de MA) +hi'h are Komat Malchut) +here it
is di%ided into NHY /y i!un Ka"im.
0en'e) it needs Zi"u$ de Yeni!a in order to /e 'om&leted +ith Kelim for H'.
1t is so /e'ause throu$h Yeni!a from its mother;s mil7 it a'>uires the Behinat
Kelim from the Hey ata&a in the Eynaim) as it is +ritten) *0is eyes are +ashed
+ith mil7) and fitly set.,
1t a'>uires Kelim de H' throu$h this Zi"u$) and then Komat ZA is fully
'om&leted in Behinat Nefesh Ruach in it. Ruach 'lothes the Kelim de NHY) and
in order to a'>uire 'AR too) it needs to rise to MAN for a se'ond )*ur de
Mochin. Then A() mate in Behinat 'adlut) and $i%e him Mochin de 'AR) and
he is then fully 'om&leted.
Thus) ZA is not 'om&leted /efore it under$oes three Zi"u$im2 )*ur Ale#h for
'imel +ithin 'imel) meanin$ H' inside NHY) /e'ause it only has Kelim from
the side of MA at that time. Then Zi"u$ de Yeni!a) /y +hi'h it a'>uires Kelim
from the &art of BON) from the Hey ata&a in the Eynaim) at +hi'h time it
a'>uires Kelim de H') and H' e.&and from +ithin the NHY as they already
ha%e Kelim. -fter that) )*ur Bet de Mochin) +hen it a'>uires its 'AR.
0o+e%er) 'AR de Atzilut) +hi'h are AA and A()) do not need a Zi"u$ de
Yeni!a) sin'e they a'>uire Kelim de BON from the Zi"u$ de )*ur Ale#h too.
This is /e'ause Nu!"a de Elyon has 'om&lete Orot de BON from the Behinat
Hey ata&a in the Eynaim) and does not need the Behinat Zachar de MA for
that.
Gonse>uently) as soon as they are /orn) they ha%e 'om&lete Kelim for H' and
NHY. 0o+e%er) they need )*ur Bet de Mochin. Thus) they do not need more
than t+o Zi"u$im) +hi'h are )*ur Ale#h de Katnut and )*ur Bet for Mochin.

The Zachar de Ati! is Komat Keter that 'ame out on the Hey ata&a that
des'ended from the Metzach to the Peh. This is the ne+ MA /e'ause all the
Orot that 'ame out /y Zi"u$im in Olam Atzilut are 'alled Ha(aYaH de MA.
-lso) all the Orot and the Kelim) +hose Zi"u$ +as made in Olam ha Ne!udim

0en'e) Ne!udat Keter of Olam ha Ne!udim) +hose ?&&er half +as ta7en /y
Ati! into his Behinat Nu!"a is 'onsidered Ha(aYaH de BON. Thus) the Zachar
is only MA and the Ne!e"a is only BON.
Similarly) the Zachar de AA is Komat Hochma that 'ame out on the Behina
'imel in Olam Atzilut) hen'e it is MA. 0is Ne!e"a is the /ottom half de
Ne!udat Keter of Olam ha Ne!udim) hen'e it is all BON.
Since he i corrected and doe not need hi&.
This means that the e&isode of the /rea7in$ of the %essels did not 'on'ern
Sefirat Keter de Ne!udim at all< she has all the Ohr that 'ame out +ith her +hen
she +as first 'reated. Bor that reason she is 'orre'ted in herself and does not
need MA to 'orre't her.
6ith re$ard to the Zi"u$ de Katnut) she does not e%en need to re'ei%e Ohr from
the ne+ MA) sin'e her Ohr is more im&ortant than the MA) as she is from
Behinat Hey ata&a in the Eynaim (Ohr Pnimi item 2"). 0o+e%er) she re'ei%es
her 'AR from MA in terms of her 'adlut.
Fro& A' onward the &a$e had to #irt ta"e the BON o# the Ne"eva% even

Sin'e there +as an annulment in their Achoraim due to the /rea7in$ of the
%essels) hen'e) e%en +hen they are in a state of Zi"u$ de Katnut) the BON needs
the 'orre'tion of the ne+ Ohr de Katnut of MA. Thus) /efore it 'omes to the

MA) to 'orre't and 'om&lete it. -fter+ards the Zachar $i%es the BON to the
Kelim of the Ne!e"a) and the Zachar is re$arded as the Behinat Elyon of the
Ne!e"a) e%en durin$ the Katnut.
Thus) the Shoresh of BON is re$arded as remainin$ in the Zachar) +hile only a
/ran'h of it de&arts to the Ne!e"a. 1t is 7no+n in e%ery Elyon and achton that
althou$h the Ohr relates entirely to the achton) sin'e it &asses throu$h the

This means that there is Hit!alelut of the Ne!e"a in the Zachar here. =e'ause

'omes from Behinat BON) from Behinat Hey ata&a in the Eynaim (see Ohr

1t has already /een e.&lained that /e'ause of the as'ent of the Hey ata&a to the
Keter) Hochma too de&arted from the Behinat Rosh de Keter. 0en'e) Partzuf
AA relates to Partzuf Ati! li7e a 'uf) as it is Hochma de MA) 'lothin$ the 'uf
de Ati!) thou$h +ith re$ard to BON) they are /oth Keter. This is for the a/o%e
reason that the situations are 'ontrolled /y MA) as it is the o+ner of the Ohr in
the Partzufim.
Keter and Hochma o# MA to the +echura ide o# the&.
6e must thorou$hly understand that $reat 'han$e that +as made here2 The
Zachar and the Ne!e"a of a sin$le Partzuf) +hi'h are ne'essarily on the same
de$ree) are 'om&elled to /e from t+o Sefirot. #oreo%er) the Zachar is to /e
from Sefirat Hochma and the Ne!e"a from Sefirat Keter. There is also) the
matter of the di%ision of the Sefirat Keter /et+een the t+o Partzufim and +hy
Ati! did not ta7e the /ottom half of Sefirat Keter de BON too.
Birst) +e shall e.&lain +hy all three Roshim of Ne!udim in Zi"u$ de 'adlut in
A() de Ne!udim) 'onne'ted to A() to /e as Eser Sefirot de Rosh in Komat
Keter) +hile here in the ne+ MA it +as not so. #oreo%er) in its Zi"u$ de
'adlut) the Hey ata&a 'ame out from the Metzach and returned to her &la'e in
the Peh /y He+arat AB) and the Eser Sefirot 'ame out in Komat Keter.
0o+e%er) it only hel&ed Sefirat Keter) and all other /ottom nine Sefirot did not
return to the Rosh. Burthermore) they did not re'ei%e anythin$ from the Zi"u$.
The 9a% +rites that +hen Ati! +as 'orre'ted) it +as not 'orre'ted from +hat is
/elo+ Ati! at all. -lso) +hen AA +as 'orre'ted) it +as not 'orre'ted from +hat
is /elo+ it +hatsoe%er) and li7e+ise +ith A() and li7e+ise ZON.
:ou already 7no+ the Shoresh of the ne+ MA. 1t is the Masach de 'uf de
Ne!udim that raised the Reshimot of the se%en Melachim and the four
Achoraim de A() and YESHS, and the Achoraim of NHY de Keter. 1t /rou$ht
them to Rosh de SA') to the Behinat Metzach) +hi'h is Behinat Bina de
'al$alta de SA'. Komat ZA de Hitla*shut 'ame out on it) and Komat Malchut
de A"iut from Bina de Keter and a/o%e (Ohr Pnimi item 2").
Sin'e the &la'e of the Zi"u$ is Bina de Keter) they re'ei%ed Behinat Achoraim
de Bina there and +ere 'orre'ted Achor *e Achor in the form of i!un Ka"im)
'alled 'imel 'o (+ithin) 'imel. This is so /e'ause there is only Komat
Malchut de A"iut here) and thus there is only Komat NHY here. Komat H'
that de&arted is /ut Behinat Hitla*shut and has no Kelim) and this is 'alled
'imel 'o 'imel) or Behinat )*ur.
Cnly the Ketarim +ere made of this Komat )*ur in all the Reshimot that rose to
MAN there) and not all the Eser Sefirot in Keter) /ut only from Bina u&+ard.
This is /e'ause the He+arat Achoraim de Bina in them did not let them e.&and
to ZON sin'e the for'e of the Achoraim de Bina is only /efore it e.&ands to
He+arat ZON.
0o+e%er) +hen she e.&ands to He+arat ZON she is 'om&elled to arrest her
Achoraim and mate in Hochma) re'ei%e He+arat Hochma from him for the
ZON (Part ) Ohr Pnimi item 24). Thus) ZON is in the same situation here as
ZA de Ne!udim) +here the He+arat Rosh did not rea'h them /e'ause of the
He+arat Achoraim de A().
:ou find) that /esides Hochma lea%in$ the Behinat Rosh into Behinat 'uf)
ZON de Keter itself also de&arted from Behinat Rosh into Behinat 'uf) sin'e
the Hey ata&a stands in Bina de Keter. E%en the He+arah of 'imel 'o 'imel
did not rea'h them.
There is yet another matter here in the ne+ MA. Sin'e Hey ata&a rose to Keter)
Parsa +as $reatly stren$thened) sin'e as lon$ as Parsa +as in Behinat Hey
ata&a in the Eynaim she did not ha%e the stren$th to e.ist durin$ the Zi"u$ de
'adlut de AB SA' too. This is so /e'ause the ne+ Ohr de Zi"u$ AB SA'
des'ended and lo+ered the Hey ata&a from the Eynaim to the Peh) fissured the
Parsa) and illuminated in Ne!udim. Gonse>uently) the Parsa did not ha%e the
stren$th to detain the Ohr from e.&andin$ to BYA) and this is the reason for the
/rea7in$.
4o+ that the for'e of Parsa has /een dou/led /y the Hey ata&a that rose to
Keter) she +as $reatly stren$thened. Thus) e%en the Zi"u$ de 'adlut) +hi'h
lo+ers the Hey ata&a from the Metzach to the Peh does not 'an'el the 'e"ul
de Katnut of Parsa in any +ay. Cn the 'ontrary) the Kelim only $ro+.
Thus) the ne+ Ohr that des'ended from the Zi"u$ de AB SA' and lo+ered the
Hey ata&a from the Metzach to the Peh) and the Eser Sefirot de Rosh de Ati!
that 'ame out in Komat Keter) +ere also not 'an'elled /y that an'ient 'e"ul de
Katnut.
ZON de Keter did not return to the Rosh) /ut /y re'ei%in$ the Koma of the
Rosh from a/o%e do+n+ard) the Kelim $re+ in a +ay that H' de 'uf /e'ame
KHB) NHY into H') and ne+ NHY emer$ed for them. 0o+e%er) they
remained in Behinat 'uf) and the form of Rosh did not return on them) as in
A() de Ne!udim.
0en'e) e%en thou$h Ati! +as 'orre'ted in a 'om&lete Koma de Eser Sefirot
throu$h Keter) still) none of it rea'hed Partzuf AA. This is /e'ause e%en its o+n
'uf did not return to Behinat Rosh) mu'h less the rest of the /ottom nine
Sefirot.
Therefore) this entire Koma de Keter 'ame out and e.&anded only on the sin$le
Sefira of Keter) and the rest of the Sefirot did not re'ei%e anythin$ from it. 1t
+as li7e+ise in Sefirat Hochma) +hi'h e.&anded in itself /y the t+o Zi"u$im
Katnut and 'adlut) into RS) and none of it rea'hed Bina at all) et'. similarly.
4o+ you +ill understand that these Eser Sefirot in Komat Keter that 'ame out
in the Koma de Hista!lut Eynaim of A() 'ontain +ithin them all the other
Komot that 'ame out in Ne!udim. They 'ome here in the ne+ MA one3/y3one in
fi%e s&e'ial Zi"u$im) meanin$ a s&e'ial Sefira in ea'h Koma) as has /een
e.&lained a/o%e.
1t is also not on an e>ual Koma as it +as in Hista!lut Eynaim de A()) /ut one
/elo+ the other2 Komat Keter 'ame out only in Ati!) Komat Hochma 'ame out
in AA) Komat Bina in A()) and Komat ZA in ZON. This is so /e'ause ea'h
achton 'omes out from the Behinat 'uf de Elyon sin'e the Hey ata&a is a/o%e
it.
1t turns out that Komat AA is 'onsidered Behinat 'uf +ith re$ard to Keter) and
is not 'onsidered as Rosh) /ut only +ith re$ard to Sefirat Hochma. Thus) AA
la'7s the Behinot 'AR de Yechida /e'ause it is 'onsidered 'uf +ith re$ard to
the Ohr de Yechida.
-lso) A() are 'onsidered 'uf +ith re$ard to AA) +hi'h is Hochma. They are
only 'onsidered Rosh +ith re$ard to the ne+ Zi"u$ made on the Masach de
Behina Bet) +hi'h is Bina.
4e%ertheless) all three Partzufim Ati!) AA and A()) are 'onsidered 'om&lete
Partzufim in Rosh and 'uf. AA still has Rosh and 'AR from the ne+ Zi"u$ de
Behina 'imel< A() ha%e Rosh and 'AR from the ne+ Zi"u$ de Behina Bet. 1t is
li7e the Partzufim 'ASMB de AK +here ea'h achton is a 'uf to the Elyon)
thou$h it has 'om&lete Rosh in itself.
0o+e%er) sin'e ZON 'ame out only on Komat ZA) +hi'h is Nefesh Ruach)
hen'e they la'7 the 'AR entirely) and 'ame out as Behinat 'uf +ithout a Rosh.
E.amine the $reat lessenin$ that o''urred /e'ause of the as'ent of the Hey
ata&a to the Metzach2 4ot only did it di%ide the Sefirot and ea'h and e%ery
Sefira 'ame out in its o+n Koma) they also 'ame out one /elo+ the other) until
it 'aused ZA to 'ome out +ithout a Rosh.
0o+e%er) throu$h the ne+ Ohr that des'ended from the Zi"u$ de AB SA' in
Ne!udim) Eser Sefirot KHB ZON 'ame out in A()) and all their Komot +ere
e>ual u& to Keter) e%en the Malchut in them.
1n addition) +e must remem/er that there is a $reat differen'e /et+een the
Kelim de 'AR of the Ne!udim and the Kelim de ZA de Ne!udim. The Kelim
de 'AR are from Behinat Birst Hey) and ha%e none of the Behinat Hey ata&a.
Those Kelim 'ame out /y He+arat NHY de AK throu$h the a*ur) /y +hi'h the
Hey ata&a in the Eynaim 'ame do+n to Peh of the Ne!udim and A() returned
to Behinat Rosh. 0o+e%er) /e'ause )ma +ants Hassadim) she still does not
return her Panim to A**a to re'ei%e Hochma) e.'e&t /y MAN. These 'AR are
from the Behinat Kelim de A()) +hi'h ha%e no Behinat Hey ata&a (Part 6)
Hista!lut Pnimit item !).
0o+e%er) the Kelim de ZA 'ame out /y the MAN de (a" and Ne!uda from the
Yesod de AK. These MAN returned to A() Panim *e Panim) mated on the MAN)
and $enerated Komat Eser Sefirot from /elo+ u&+ard in Komat Keter) 'alled
Hista!lut Eynaim de A().
Brom there do+n+ard it eEe'ted the se%en Melachim2 Birst) Melech ha %aat<
after the Hizda!chut to Behina 'imel they eEe'ted Melech ha Hesed et'. 0en'e)
only the Koma from /elo+ u&+ard that emer$ed /y the MAN de Yesod de AK is
'onsidered as Behinat Rosh de ZON) /ut not the Komot that emer$ed /efore the
MAN) in the form of Panim *e Achor. 1t is so sin'e they ha%e 'onne'tion +ith
ZON as they do not ha%e any &art in the Behinat Hey ata&a.
1t turns that those Eser Sefirot that de&arted to A() de Ne!udim in Komat Keter
should /e di%ided /et+een the 'AR in them) +hi'h ha%e no 'onne'tion +ith
ZON) and the ZON in them) 'onsidered Rosh of ZA de Ne!udim. 4o+ you see
that these first three Partzufim Ati!) AA and A() that 'ame out in Ne!udim) are
not 'onne'ted +ith ZON de Atzilut any lon$er sin'e they are from the Behinat
'AR in the Roshim of A() de Ne!udim.
:ou 'an therefore understand that there are three Behinot in the Eser Sefirot de
Ne!udim) and there is a $reat differen'e in the +ay the are 'orre'ted2
The first Behina is the Behinat Katnut that emer$ed in Ne!udim /y
the as'ent of Hey ata&a in the Eynaim) meanin$ +hat emer$ed in
their /asi' 'reation) /ein$ only Behinat Achor *e Achor.
The se'ond is Behinat Panim *e Achor that 'ame out in Ne!udim
/y the He+arat a*ur de AK that lo+ered the Hey ata&a from the
Eynaim de Keter de Ne!udim to the Peh de Ne!udim. 1t returned
the A() to the Rosh) +here )ma still remains in the Achoraim to
A**a thou$h she is turned 'om&letely into Behinat Rosh) */e'ause
0e deli$hteth in mer'y.,
The differen'e /et+een the first Behina and the se'ond Behina is
that in the first Behina +here the Hey ata&a +as a/o%e A()) A()
had only Komat ZON. 0o+e%er) no+ they ha%e Komat Keter sin'e
the Hey ata&a is in its &la'e in the Peh.
:et) althou$h )ma 'an re'ei%e the Ohr Hochma) there is still an
im&rinted yearnin$ in her /y the nature of her 'reation in Ohr
Yashar to +ant only Ohr Hassadim. 1ndeed) there is /enefit from
that to ZA de Ne!udim) that they 'an no+ re'ei%e Behinat
'om&lete Ohr Hassadim from )ma) /ein$ the Behinot Eser Sefirot
in Komat ZA that e.&and to them from )ma that returned to the
Rosh.
The third Behina is the t+o Roshim that 'ame out in 'AR de
Ne!udim in Behinat Panim *e Panim) on the MAN de (a" and
Ne!uda that they re'ei%ed from the Yesod de AK and their Behinat
from a/o%e do+n+ard) 'alled ZA de Ne!udim.
The /est amon$ them is the first Behina) meanin$ Achor *e Achor that
remained in A() de Ne!udim) +hi'h did not suffer from the /rea7in$ at all.
-fter them it is the se'ond Behina) meanin$ 'AR de A() that 'ame out in
Behinat Panim *e Achor) sin'e they are 'lean from Hey ata&a) and the He+arat
Ruach Nefesh that e.&anded in them to ZA is of the same merit.
0en'e) there is a $reat differen'e /et+een the t+o a/o%e Behinot2 -fter they
+ere 'orre'ted in Atzilut) their 'orre'tion remained &ermanent and the /lemish
of the achtonim does not 'ause them any Histal!ut.
0o+e%er) this is not the 'ase in the third Behina) as it 'omes /y the MAN de
Yesod AK) +hi'h is the Behinot (a" and Ne!uda) meanin$ there is Behinat Hey
ata&a there. Bor that reason) its 'orre'tion is not &ermanent) /ut all the
i!!unim that 'ome in this Behina are in the form of as'endin$ and des'endin$)
a''ordin$ to the a'tions of the achtonim. 9emem/er all the a/o%e as it is an

1t has already /een e.&lained in the &re%ious item that the Eser Sefirot de
Ne!udim that 'ame out all at on'e there 'annot /e 'orre'ted in the ne+ MA
there) /ut only one /y one. 0en'e) +hen Ati!) +hi'h is Sefirat Keter) +as
'orre'ted) it 'ould not sort any Behinat Hochma.
Bor that reason the /ottom half of Keter de Ne!udim did not 'onne't +ith
Behinat Ati! de MA) sin'e it is the Behinot NHY de Keter that 'lothed the
Mochin in A(). 0en'e) they des'ended from the de$ree of Keter to the de$ree
of Hochma and are no lon$er fit to 'onne't in Rosh ha Ale#h in Keter de
Atzilut.
/y sayin$ that they are the first fi%e Sefirot he means that they are half the
de$ree. Sin'e the time of the as'ent of the Hey ata&a in the Eynaim) all the
de$rees ha%e /een di%ided into t+o hal%es 'E and AHP. Cnly the ?&&er half
remains in the de$ree) /ein$ 'E) /ut the /ottom half +ent out of the de$ree and

1n the Tree of (ife (Hate 4o. 4") Study 4o. 8) the 9a% +rites2 *This is a $reat
rule /y +hi'h you +ill understand e%erythin$. The se'ond Partzuf is al+ays the
?&&er half.,
This is the most im&ortant 7ey in the +isdom that must al+ays /e 7e&t /efore
one;s eyes) /e'ause most of the 'onne'tions in the +isdom are e.&lained /y it.
1n fa't) the ?&&er &art 'ontains only t+o Sefirot) +hi'h are the ones that 'ame
out +hen it +as first 'reated) 'alled 'E) +hile the /ottom &art that +ent out of
the de$ree 'ontains three Sefirot Bina) ZA and Nu!"a. 0o+e%er) sin'e they are
the t+o ?&&er Sefirot) they are 'onsidered as half.
A$o% it ta"e GA& #ro& $e%irat Hochma and the #irt #o'r #ro& Bina de
BON.
The reason for it is that the &la'e of the &osition of the Rosh de Ati! de MA is
from the &la'e of the Peh de Ne!udim and u&+ard throu$h a*ur de AK (Ohr
Pnimi item 18)) meanin$ the &la'e +here 'AR de Ne!udim stand. 0en'e)
e%erythin$ that remains in 'AR de Ne!udim after the /rea7in$ of %essels is
ta7en /y the Zachar de Ati! that 'lothes them there. 1t is indeed +hat 'ame out
there +hen they +ere first 'reated) +hi'h is the a'tual Behinat Katnut de 'AR
and Behinat Achor *e Achor.
0o+e%er) sin'e they are Behinat 'al$alta "e Eynaim of the de$ree) he therefore
'alls them 'AR. This is /e'ause the +hole matter of 'adlut is only the return
of Bina and ZON to the de$ree /e'ause /y lo+erin$ the Hey ata&a to the Peh)
Bina and ZON return to the de$ree) and then a'>uire 'AR de 'adlut.
Thus) the $ist of +hat emer$ed in Katnut is 'AR) meanin$ 'al$alta "e Eynaim)
and the $ist of the addition that 'omes durin$ the 'adlut are Bina and ZON.
0en'e) he names Katnut *Panim, or *'AR,) and the 'adlut he names
*Achoraim, or *ZA,.
1t turns out that sin'e Ati! %echura 'lothes in the &la'e of 'AR de Ne!udim) it
ta7es e%erythin$ that remains there of these 'AR into his Behinat Nu!"a.
0o+e%er) from Bina) /ein$ )ma de Ne!udim) he ta7es the first four Sefirot)
meanin$ Hesed of Bina too. This is /e'ause Ohr Hesed is al+ays in Bina +hen
she is in Achoraim to A**a.
0e only lea%es there +hen )ma turns her Panim to A**a) as the 9a% +rote
a/o%e (Part 5) Ohr Pnimi item 4"). The se%en Ketarim of ZA de BON that Ati!
%echura too7) it too7 only for its Behinat 'uf.
Arich ta"e the $at #ive de Keter de BON #or Nu"va and A!!a ta"e the
!otto& even de Hochma de BON. ma ta"e the !otto& i, de Bina de
BON and ZON ta"e a$$ the !otto& even de BON.
1n order to understand these 'onne'tions of MA and BON and the ne'essity in
the rations that the 9a% as'ri/ed to them) it is ne'essary to +rite at some len$th.
Thus a truly 'om&rehensi%e 'on'e&t of the Eser Sefirot de Atzilut may /e $i%en)
ho+ they result from one another) /oth the MA &art in ea'h of them) the BON
&art in ea'h and e%ery one of them) and the ne'essitated 'onne'tion in ea'h and
e%ery Sefira.
(et us /riefly re&eat the +ords that ha%e already /een e.&lained. 1t all /e$ins in
the as'ent of MAN to 'AR de Ne!udim in $eneral) and from there to Rosh de
SA') until the Hey ata&a rose to the Metzach de SA'. The Masach only $ained
the A"iut found in the Keter. Su'h a fine A"iut $enerates only Komat Malchut)
'alled NHY /e'ause of the i!un Ka"im in her.
0o+e%er) there is also Behinat Hitla*shut of the last Behina there) +hi'h is
Komat ZA de Hitla*shut. 0en'e) it is 'onsidered that H' are also 'lothed in
Kelim de NHY. This is 'alled *'imel 'o 'imel, or *)*ur de Ati!, (e.amine
'losely in Ohr Pnimi item 1).
This )*ur de Ati! is a'tually Behinat )*ur that 'orre'ts the $eneral MAN that
rose there sin'e it +as in the form of t+el%e months. 0en'e) it immediately
raised all the Kelim of the se%en Melachim from BYA to NHY de Atzilut /y +ay
of a $eneral )*ur to the Kelim as the 9a% says a/o%e (item 3). 0o+e%er) a
&arti'ular )*ur is still ne'essary) +here e%ery achton is 'orre'ted in it /y its
Elyon (see item 2").
1t is also 'alled Zi"u$ de Katnut) and after that there +as a Zi"u$ de 'adlut.
@no+) that there are t+o Behinot here in the Zi"u$ de 'adlut2 Panim *e Achor
and Panim *e Panim) /e'ause the achton is only /orn from the Zi"u$ Panim
*e Panim de Elyon.
0en'e there are three Zi"u$im to dis'ern here2 1 I Zi"u$ de Katnut) +hi'h is
Achor *e Achor and )*ur< 2 I Zi"u$ de 'adlut) +hi'h is the lo+erin$ of Hey

there is no Behinat Panim *e Panim /ut throu$h MAN< 3 I The Zi"u$ on the
MAN that rose to the Nu!"a) +hi'h is Panim *e Panim.
:ou also 7no+ that all these Komot that 'ome out /y Zi"u$im de Katnut and
'adlut in Atzilut are 'alled *the ne+ MA,. #oreo%er) e%en the Behinot Masach
and A"iut of the Reshimot) +hi'h are only from the Sefirot of the Eser Sefirot
de Ne!udim) /ein$ 'ertainly BON) are still 'onsidered Kelim de MA.
This is so /e'ause the Zi"u$ from the Ohr Elyon 'ame out on them) and they
are the measurements of the Komot in Atzilut. 0en'e) they ne'essarily /e'ame
the Kelim to MA) sin'e the Masach in Malchut of the Rosh e.&ands to Eser
Sefirot from her and +ithin her) ma7in$ Kelim for the Eser Sefirot de och and
Sof) 'alled 'uf.
0o+e%er) only the Orot) meanin$ the Reshimot) the Nitzotzin and the old Kelim
that ha%e already /een used for Hal*asha of Orot durin$ the Melachim in the
'AR and the ZA) are named BON) and remem/er that.
Thus) the 'onstru'tion of the Katnut de Ati! +as made of the Hit!alelut
Masach in the Hey ata&a) from her Atzmut) +hi'h is the /etter &art of the MAN
and the Reshimot. 1t is 7no+n that from the &ers&e'ti%e of the Zi"u$) the more
A" is /etter. 0o+e%er) /e'ause of the +ea7ness in the Masach) ha%in$ only
Behinat Keter of its A"iut) it therefore raised the Hey ata&a to Keter) to
Metzach) +hi'h is Bina de Keter) and from here stemmed the Komat )*ur de
Ati!.
The 'ause for the Zi"u$ de 'adlut de Ati! is the remains of MAN that +as left
there in Rosh de SA' +ithout any i!un. This is /e'ause only Komat NHY
'ame out of the Behinat MA) 'onne'tin$ +ith the ?&&er half of Keter de BON
in i!un Ka"im Achor *e Achor.
The rest of the MAN) /ein$ all four Achoraim de A() and YESHS,) and the
se%en Orot de ZA) remained +ithout any He+arah. These MAN indu'ed the
Zi"u$ AB SA' +here the He+arat AB lo+ered the Hey ata&a from Metzach to
Peh. Sin'e the Hey ata&a des'ended in her &la'e) the A"iut de Behina %alet
rea+a7ened in the Masach) and the Ohr Elyon that mated +ith the Masach
$enerated Komat Keter.
-fter the A"iut de Ne!udim in the Masach +as re'o$niJed) the Masach returned
to Peh de Ne!udim and $enerated Eser Sefirot de Rosh in Komat Keter from
/elo+ u&+ard) from Peh de Ne!udim to a*ur de AK. 1t is the same &la'e of
'AR de Ne!udim (Ohr Pnimi item 18).

Behinat 'AR rea'hed 'uf de Ati! too) and +hen the A"iut de AHP de Keter +as

Sefirot from /elo+ u&+ard in Komat Hochma) and from Behinat Panim *e
Achor as +ell) as Rosh de Ati! /efore the raisin$ of the MAN.
The reason it did not 'ome out in Komat Keter is /e'ause the more im&ortant
Behinat A"iut) +hi'h is Behina %alet) +as already su'7ed /y Partzuf Ati! for
itself. 0en'e) only A"iut de Behina 'imel remained in the $eneral MAN.
Thus) the Koma that 'ame out on A"iut de Behina 'imel is 'alled the ne+ MA)
and the Kelim de AHP de Keter that already ser%ed as Mochin in HB de
Ne!udim durin$ the Melachim) are 'alled BON) and are Nu!"a de AA. 0o+e%er)
only Ruach Nefesh e.&anded into their Behinat 'uf /e'ause Bina de Rosh de

4o+ they re'ei%ed He+arat )*ur from Nu!"a de AA /e'ause there is a dire't

'orre'ted in a sin$le i!un.
0o+e%er) they 'annot as'end /e'ause of the stren$th of the Parsa) and for that
they re'ei%e the He+arat Nu!"a de AA in their &la'e /elo+) and this He+arah is
'onsidered He+arat )*ur. 1t is so /e'ause Bina de Rosh de AA is still in Behinat
Achoraim on Hochma) and so they re'ei%e only the He+arat ,*ar. Thus) +e
ha%e e.&lained the 'adlut de Rosh and 'uf de AA in Behinat Panim *e Achor)

A() de Atzilut) /ein$ ZA de HB de BON) +ere 'om&leted in all the Behinot de

Thus) they 'aused Bina de Rosh de AA to return her Panim to Hochma de Rosh
AA Panim *e Panim) and He+arat 'AR rea'hed 'uf de AA too. -fter the A"iut
in ZA de HB that rose to MAN +as re'o$niJed) they returned to their &la'e in

A"iut.
There is also Komat Hochma from the Behinat Hitla*shut) and they too +ere in
Behinat Panim *e Achor) as in Ati! and AA. The reason they did not 'ome out
in Komat Hochma is /e'ause the A"iut de Behina 'imel had already su'7ed AA
from the $eneral MAN) and they +ere only left +ith A"iut de Behina Bet.
Komat Bina that 'ame out on Behina Bet is 'alled the ne+ MA) and the Behinat

-fter the Rosh de A() +as 'om&leted in Behinat 'AR de Bina in Behinat

:ou must 7no+) that there are three $eneral dis'ernments in all the Partzufim of
Atzilut2 The first is the Behinot Shorashim to the Mochin< the se'ond is the
Behinot Mochin themsel%es< the third is Behinat ZON that re'ei%e the Mochin.
This matter is ne'essitated here /y the Partzuf Elyon) +hi'h is SA' de AK) as it
is 7no+n that all the for'es in the Elyon must ne'essarily /e in its achton too.
:ou find there) in the /e$innin$ of the rootin$ of the attri/ute of Midat ha

made in Ati! for Mochin de Atzilut do not a&&ear in Ati! itself) only in AA (see
Part 6) Ohr Pnimi item 2).
Thus +e ha%e e.&lained the t+o Partzufim of Ati! and AA) 'onsidered roots of
Mochin to Atzilut) li7e SA' de AK and its %i!na) +hi'h are the roots of the
asso'iation of the Hey ata&a in the Eynaim.
-fter the Reshimot in SA' de AK +ere re'o$niJed as Behinat 'uf) they
des'ended to their &la'e in the 'uf) the &la'e of a*ur de AK) +here the
Mochin of the Hey ata&a in the Eynaim a&&eared in Behinat Rosh. 1t is mu'h
the same here in Atzilut) +here after the Zi"u$ +as made in AA and Ati! on the
MAN that rose for the Mochin) they des'end to their &la'e in the 'uf) to .hazeh

4o+ you 'an understand the di%ision of A() de Atzilut to the four Behinot of

as'ent of the Masach that +as &urified from the 'uf de SA' into Behinat
rene+al of the Zi"u$ in Rosh de SA') until it 'ame to ZA de Ne!udim) as
/rou$ht in the t+o &re%ious &arts.
(et us mention the thin$s /riefly2 The Masach that rose from 'uf de SA'
'onsisted of three Behinot Reshimot2 Reshimot de aamim de SA' (see Part 6)
Hista!lut Pnimit item 24). MA Elyon de SA' 'ame out on their Zi"u$ and after
the Zi"u$ its &la'e +as a&&arent from the Peh de SA' throu$h a/o%e a*ur de
SA'. Sin'e the aamim ne%er des'ended /elo+ a*ur and did not mi. +ith the
inner NHY de AK at all) it thus has nothin$ of Behinat Hey ata&a and is
'onsidered as ?&&er A()) as the 9a% says a/o%e (Part 6 item 6).
The se'ond Behina de Reshimot) are the Reshimot of Ne!udot de SA'. These
are the lo+er nine de SA' that e.&anded from a*ur do+n to the Sium Ra$lin
de AK) +here they mi.ed +ith the 1nner NHY de AK and min$led +ith the Hey

The Eser Sefirot de Ne!udim 'ame out on their Zi"u$ in the form of Hey ata&a

Elyon. 'AR de Ne!udim ha%e t+o Roshim) Keter and A()) +hose &la'e is from
the Sium ifferet to a*ur de AK.
@no+) that these three Roshim that 'ame out /y the Zi"u$ on the Reshimot de

YESHS,. They are 'alled that for the reason the 9a% has +ritten a/o%e) that
the Behinot SA') mi.ed +ith the 1nner MA and BON de AK) are al+ays 'alled

Sin'e these 'ame out on the Reshimot de Behinot Ne!udot de SA') they are
ne'essarily mi.ed +ith the Hey ata&a of MA and BON de AK. 0o+e%er) they
'ontain three de$rees2 the first YESHS, stands from a*ur de AK u&+ard. 1t
is the /est of them) /e'ause the Hey ata&a o&erates in it from /elo+ u&+ard)
and it is 7no+n that the A"iut 'annot o&erate anythin$ a/o%e its ori$in of
'reation.
0en'e) this YESHS, is 'onsidered 'lean from Hey ata&a< it is not e%en
re$arded as Ne!udim) /ut is 'om&letely similar to Behinat aamim of SA')
meanin$ the ?&&er A(). :et) it is 'ertainly lo+er than them for it still has the
Orot that 'ome from the Zi"u$ of Hey ata&a.
4e%ertheless) it is 'onsidered the Shoresh of the Ne!udim. 0o+e%er) the a/o%e3
mentioned MA Elyon) +hi'h is Behinat ?&&er A()) is not e%en 'onsidered the
Shoresh for Ne!udim) sin'e it does not ha%e anythin$ of these Orot) related to
Hey ata&a in the Eynaim.
The se'ond de$ree is Rosh ha Bet de Ne!udim) 'alled Keter. Sin'e it is Behinot
AHP of the first YESHS,. 0en'e) the for'e of the Hey ata&a already 'ontrols
it) and it is thus 'onsidered Behinat Ne!udim. 0o+e%er) in itself) it is di%ided
into 'al$alta "e Eynaim and AHP in its Eser Sefirot) +hi'h are t+o Roshim.
Bor that reason) it is 'onsidered that in Keter too the Hey ata&a o&erates from
/elo+ u&+ard in its Behinot Ni!"ey Eynaim. Bor this reason) the dominion of
the Hey ata&a in the Eynaim a&&ears &rimarily in the third Rosh) 'alled A() de
Ne!udim.
1t is 'onsidered the Shoresh to the Mochin) +hi'h are A()) +here the Hey

The third YESHS,) /ein$ A() de Ne!udim) are 'onsidered the a'tual Behinat
Ne!udim) meanin$ Behinat Hey ata&a in the Eynaim) +here it a&&ears in all its
'ontrol.
4o+ +e ha%e e.&lained the t+o Behinot of Atzilut) +hi'h are the roots of
Mochin de Atzilut) 'alled Ati! and AA) relatin$ to Rosh de SA' de AK and its
%i!na. The Zi"u$ +as made on the Masach there only in the form of Hit!alelut
for the achton) and after the A"iut in the Masach had /een re'o$niJed) it had
to des'end to its &la'e.
This o''urred in a similar manner in the Zi"u$ in Ati! and AA) meanin$ only in
the form of Hit!alelut) +hi'h is merely 'alled Shoresh for the Mochin. The
se'ond Behina +as also 'larified) /ein$ A() de Atzilut) +hi'h are the 'om&lete
Mochin of Atzilut. 0o+e%er) they are not ?&&er A()) /ut only the fourth
YESHS,) relatin$ to the fourth YESHS, de SA' de AK) /ein$ A() de
Ne!udim.
Similarly) the four Behinot A() emer$e here too) and the fourth are the Mochin
de Atzilut) meanin$ they 'lothe in ZON de Atzilut) 'onsidered the re'ei%ers of
the Mochin. The entire matter of this asso'iation re%ol%es around them for the
mana$ement of the +orld 'omes only from ZON.
0o+e%er) althou$h +e ha%e 'larified four Behinot in A()) they are still
'onsidered as only t+o &rimary Behinot. ?&&er A() are one Behina) and all
three de$rees of YESHS, are 'onsidered as one Behina too.
ZON de Atzilut) +hi'h are the re'ei%ers of the Mochin) relate to ZA de
Ne!udim) /orn from the MAN de Yesod de AK) 'alled Shuru!. They are di%ided
into t+o Behinot in Atzilut2 the *=i$ ZON,) and the *(ittle ZON,. This is /efore
t+o Behinot 'ame out in ZA de Ne!udim) +hi'h are the four Melachim %H'
from A() and the four Melachim NHYM from YESHS,. 1n Atzilut they 'ame
out in the same manner2 the =i$ ZON related to %H') and the (ittle ZON
related to NHYM.
1t is +ritten) *a$$ thee &oshim are then one !e$ow the other% a$$ de(icted a
a in)$e #artzu%% containin) the entire Atzilut in )enera$., 1t means that all
the Partzufim of Atzilut &rimarily manifest only in ZON. This is the Hidush
Mochin that +as made in Atzilut) in the form of the asso'iation of Midat ha
Rachamim +ith %in) +hi'h should un'o%er the matter of the 'ondu't of re+ard
and &unishment in this +orld.
This relates only to ZON) for only in them this 'ondu't a&&lies) that +hen the
achtonim are +orthy) they raise MAN and the Mochin a&&ear in ZON) and
+hen they are not +orthy) the Mochin e.it. 0o+e%er) the a'tions of the
achtonim do not /lemish a/o%e ZON +hatsoe%er.
Thus) the Mochin is &rimarily for the re'e&tion of ZON. 0o+e%er) in order to
$i%e them to ZON) they must 'ome do+n throu$h the &re%ious ei$ht Partzufim)
Ati! and Nu!"a) AA and Nu!"a) for Behinot Shorashim for the Mochin) and A()

Zi"u$ de Hey ata&a in the Eynaim in it. Similarly) Ati!) +hi'h relates to it)
'annot ta7e any Behina from the some+hat /lemished BON /y the /rea7in$ of
the %essels for its 'onstru'tion.
0en'e) it did not ta7e from BON) /ut from its Behinat Katnut) meanin$
e%erythin$ that emer$ed in it from its %ery 'reation) meanin$ only the ?&&er
half of Keter BON) meanin$ only its Behinat 'al$alta "e Eynaim. These did
not re'ei%e anythin$ +ithin them) e%en from the He+arat NHY de AK that
emer$ed throu$h the a*ur in the form of Holam a/o%e the Otiot.
Bor that reason it has nothin$ of the Behinot ZA de Ne!udim) sin'e the
He+arat Holam throu$h the a*ur is the Shoresh to the ZA de Ne!udim. This is
/e'ause this Ohr des'ended from Zi"u$ de AB SA' made on MAN de NHY de
AK that rose to them. -lso) NHY de AK are 'onsidered the Shoresh of ZON de
Ne!udim sin'e A() $enerated ZA de Ne!udim on their MAN.
This He+arah that 'ame out throu$h the a*ur to Keter de Ne!udim lo+ered the
Hey ata&a from the Eynaim de Keter to Peh de Ne!udim and returned A() to
Behinat Rosh. 1n that state Keter itself $ained its 'AR too) sin'e it no+ has
'om&lete Eser Sefirot as it a'>uired its AHP from the return of A() to its Rosh.
0o+e%er) /efore A() returned to the Rosh) Keter had only 'al$alta "e Eynaim)
+hi'h are Behinot Orot de Ruach Nefesh. This is /e'ause Orot de H' are
'lothed in 'al$alta and Orot de NHY are 'lothed in the Eynaim.
0en'e) althou$h it is not 'om&leted /y the He+arat a*ur de AK /ut only in the
three lo+er Kelim Bina and ZON) they still returned KHB de Orot to it from the
as&e't of the Orot. This Bina and these ZON that Keter $ained /y the He+arat
NHY de AK are 'onsidered Si$im +ith res&e't to Ati! /e'ause the 'an'ellation
durin$ the Melachim ha&&ened in them) and they fell /a'7 to Behinat (AK.
This is 'alled the annulment of NHY de Keter.
Bor that reason Ati! $a%e these Bina and ZON de Keter to AA) sin'e it relates to
the Behinat %i!na de SA') the &la'e of the manifestation of the Katnut) +hi'h
is at Rosh de SA'. 0en'e) AA re'ei%ed Behinot Bina) and ZON de Keter of the
/lemished BON into its Behinat Nu!"a.
1t is +ritten) *Behinat Nu"va de Ati" wa &ade o# the Firt #ive de Keter de
BON% where there wa never an+ cance$$ation or even a !$e&ih., -s it is
+ritten) that it +as made from the Behinat Katnut de Keter that 'ame out in it
from its %ery 'reation. 1t remained 'om&lete) and not a thin$ of it +as 'an'elled
e%en a /it.
0o+e%er) the sortin$ of the Melachim /e$an in Nu!"a of AA sin'e she +as
made of the last fi%e of Keter de BON +hi'h +ere a little fla+ed. This means)
as +e ha%e e.&lained) that AA +as made of Bina and ZON de Keter) +hi'h
Keter $ained the ne+ Ohr of NHY de AK that illuminated on it throu$h the
a*ur. This Ohr +as 'an'elled on'e more and Bina and ZON de Keter
des'ended from Rosh to (AK on'e more) hen'e) they are fla+ed.
Fro& there on the #$aw add in the ret o# the #artzu%im.
This is /e'ause Bina and ZON that Hochma $ained /y Ohr de NHY de AK that
'ame out throu$h the a*ur +as /lemished more than Bina and ZON de Keter.
This is /e'ause Hochma &arti'i&ated in the MAN de Shuru!) +hi'h are the
Behinat Hey ata&a itself.
Bina and ZON de Bina de BON +ere /lemished e%en more than Hochma. This
is /e'ause Bina de Ne!udim did not e.tend her Bina and ZON /y He+arat
Holam) as A**a) /ut only throu$h the MAN de Shuru! that she re'ei%ed from
Yesod de AK) +hi'h is the Behinat Atzmut de Hey ata&a) from +hi'h ZON +ere
/orn. The Behinot se%en Orot of ZA are /lemished most sin'e they /ro7e in
Panim and Achor and des'ended to BYA.
&&. The ortin) #ro& the Melachim that had o&e

Ohr Pnimi
6G. In &eisha de AA etc. hi Bina etc. he ca&e down in the Behinat Garon.
1t means that these AHP that Nu!"a de AA +ere made of) 'onsist of Eser Sefirot
'E and AHP) also 'onsidered as Panim and Achoraim. This is /e'ause there
are t+o Behinot in them2 Cne I they Eoined to 'om&lement AHP de Keter. This
is 'onsidered Behinat 'al$alta "e Eynaim in these AHP< T+o I they e.&anded
to /ein$ Mochin to A() de Ne!udim.
This is 'onsidered as Behinat AHP in these AHP. 0en'e) +hen Nu!"a de Ati!
sorted these AHP for the Nu!"a de AA she only sorted Behinat 'E) +hi'h are
Behinot Keter and Hochma de AHP that /elon$ to Behinat Keter de Ne!udim)
+hi'h is Nu!"a de Ati!.
0o+e%er) Bina and ZON of AHP) +hi'h are NHY de Keter that turned into
Mochin in Hochma and Bina de Ne!udim are 'onsidered as the de$rees of A()
de Ne!udim) and not as the de$ree of Keter. 0en'e) Bina de&arted from the
Rosh de AA.
There is yet another im&ortant reason that Bina 'ould not stand at Rosh de AA.
The rule is that e%erythin$ that is not fla+ed /y the /rea7in$ re'ei%ed its
'orre'tion from the ne+ MA) 'om&letely and &ermanently) and ne%er lea%es
there. 0o+e%er) the Mochin do not remain &ermanently in the fla+ed Kelim /y
the /rea7in$) /ut are rather in a state of *'omin$ and $oin$,.
0en'e) Behinat AHP de AHP) namely their Bina and ZON) are 'onsidered
fla+ed +ith re$ard to Rosh de AA that re'ei%ed Komat Hochma from Ati!.
0en'e she 'annot re'ei%e this $reat Ohr &ermanently in Rosh de AA) and thus
des'ended outside the Rosh.
1t is +ritten) *th' he ca&e down in the Behinat Garon de AA. Since he
wa #'rther there% he had the a!i$it+ o# receivin) the Ohr o# Ati"., This is
so /e'ause +ith her des'ent to the 'aron she re'ei%es her Mochin tem&orarily<
sometimes she 'onne'ts +ith the Rosh to a sin$le Partzuf and has Mochin de
'AR from AA) and sometimes she is not 'onne'ted and then has no Mochin. 1n
this manner she is +orthy of re'ei%in$.
There is a third reason) as the 9a% +rote) *Bina i &ore +inim than Hochma%
a +inim a$wa+ awa"en #ro& her., 1nter&retation2 you already 7no+ that the
fla+s add and a''umulate in the Partzufim (item 18 here and Ohr Pnimi item
2!). This is so /e'ause there are three Behinot in them2 Birst) +hat 'ame out in
the /e$innin$ of Atzilut) +hi'h +ere not fla+ed at all) +hi'h Ati! too7. Se'ond)
+hat 'ame out in Ne!udim /y the He+arat Holam throu$h a*ur de AK from
+hi'h 'AR 'ame Panim *e Achor. The third is the He+arat Shuru! from Yesod
de AK +here 'AR 'ame from in Behinat Panim *e Panim.
These three Behinot a&&ly only in 'AR de Ne!udim. -fter that there is Behinot
ZA de Ne!udim that /ro7e Panim and Achor. The /est from Behinat Achoraim
de A() is +hat 'omes from the He+arat Holam /y the He+arat a*ur.
This He+arah of Holam did not rea'h the AHP from the Behinat Bina e%en in
AHP de Keter. 1t is so /e'ause Bina did not return her Panim to A**a to re'ei%e
He+arat Hochma from him and 'om&lete her AHP /efore the MAN de Shuru!
that she re'ei%ed from Yesod de AK rea'hed her. Thus) all the Behinot AHP de
Bina are from He+arat Hey ata&a) 'ontained in Shuru!. This is the meanin$ of
the %inim a+a7enin$ from Bina.

=e'ause H' de AA /e'ame Mochin to A(). These +ords are &rofound indeed)
and re>uire len$th.
Birst) +e must 7no+ that the matter of Hitla*shut NHY de Elyon in the Behinot
Mochin in the achton) and the matter of the Hal*asha of the achton to 'uf de
Elyon are se&arate matters. 4ote) that NHY de Ati! 'lothe Mochin in Rosh de

-lso) in A()) NHY de AA 'lothe in the Mochin in Rosh de A()) and yet) the
Roshim de A() 'lothe only H' de AA and not NHY de AA at all. The reason is
sim&le2 These NHY de Elyon that 'lothe the Mochin in the achton are Behinat
NHY de Eser Sefirot de Rosh de Elyon and ha%e no dealin$s +ith the Hal*asha
of the achton to the 'uf de Elyon.

a&&ear in it /y the as'ent of MAN of the achton. The third I the ne+ NHY that
a&&eared in it /y the as'ent of the MAN of the &ro$eny of the achton.
6e shall understand the matters a''ordin$ to the order of the 'reation of the
three Partzufim Ati!) AA) and A(). :ou 7no+) that /y Zi"u$ AB SA' that the
Hey ata&a $enerated from the Metzach and lo+ered to her &la'e in the Peh)
Eser Sefirot 'ame out on Komat Keter.
This +as done first /y Hit!alelut of the MAN of Ne!udim in Rosh de SA') and
after+ards) +hen the A"iut of the Reshimot +as a'7no+led$ed) they des'ended
to their &la'e) to Peh de Ne!udim. There they on'e more $enerated Eser Sefirot
de Rosh from Peh de Ne!udim to a*ur de AK on Komat Keter) 'alled Rosh de
Ati! (Ohr Pnimi item 2").
This suffi'ed for Behinat Rosh de Ati! and to its Behinat 'uf /e'ause Bina of
this Rosh stands as she al+ays does in Behinat Achoraim to A**a. 0en'e) she
only im&arts the 'uf +ith Ruach Nefesh) and the 'uf la'7s 'AR. Thus +e ha%e
e.&lained the 'reation of Rosh and 'uf de Ati!) and no+ +e shall e.&lain
Partzuf AA.
Partzuf AA is sorted /y Nu!"a de Ati!. Sin'e she is the ?&&er half de Keter de
Ne!udim) meanin$ the Behinot "e Eynaim de Keter that 'ame out +hen it +as
first 'reated) throu$h her 'onne'tion +ith MA) she no+ a'>uired 'AR de Keter.
She e.tends her AHP from the time of the Ne!udim on'e more) meanin$ the
NHY de Keter that +ere then 'an'elled /y the 'on'ealment of 'AR de Keter.
4o+ that she a'>uires the 'AR /y the ne+ MA on'e more) she returns and
dra+s them to her) to 'om&lete her old Eser Sefirot. Sin'e these AHP are also
from Behinot NHY de AK) hen'e) they /e'ame MAN there) and 'aused Bina de
Ati! to return to /ein$ Panim *e Panim +ith Hochma.
1t is 7no+n that the 'omin$ of ZON in the &la'e of Bina al+ays a+a7ens Bina
to return her Panim to A**a. This is in order to dra+ He+arat Hochma for ZON)
+ho is 'onne'ted to them to &ro%ide them +ith He+arat Hochma from the
&ers&e'ti%e of Bina and ZON de Eser Sefirot de Ohr Yashar. 1t is 7no+n that
only Behina 'imel de A"iut remained in them. This is /e'ause Behina %alet)
+hi'h +as in the $eneral MAN) +as ta7en /y Ati!. 0en'e) only Komat Hochma
emer$ed on them.
1t turns out that Nu!"a de Ati! a'>uired her Behinat AHP from the time of the
Ne!udim /y that ne+ Zi"u$ that emer$ed in her. 1t means that she +as on'e
more 'om&leted +ith Eser 'om&lete Sefirot 'E and AHP) thou$h not in the
Koma she has from MA) +hi'h is Komat Keter) /ut only in Komat Hochma.
4o+ it is 'onsidered to ha%e t+o Behinot of NHY in Keter de Nu!"a. The first
is NHY de Keter that she has from Kelim de MA) and the se'ond) NHY de
Komat Hochma that she no+ a'>uired /y the ne+ MAN de AHP.
T+o Komot e.tend /elo+ from this Zi"u$2 the first is to the 'uf de Ati! itself)
/e'ause after Bina de Rosh returned Panim *e Panim) its He+arah rea'hes the
'uf too. 4o+ the 'uf $ains Behinot 'AR) /ut only 'AR de Komat Hochma)
and not Komat Keter) as it is in the Rosh.
This is so /e'ause the Zi"u$ Panim *e Panim) made in the Rosh) +as only on
the ne+ Behinot MAN) +hi'h do not ha%e more than A"iut de Behina 'imel.
The se'ond Koma e.tends to Behinat Rosh de AA) to the &la'e of .hazeh de
Ati!) +hi'h 'lothes it from the .hazeh to the Peh.
4o+ you 'an understand the matter of Hitla*shut NHY de Elyon to Mochin in
the achton. 1ndeed) they are a &art of the achton and are not fittin$ to remain
in the Elyon. This is so /e'ause they are the same AHP that 'om&leted Nu!"a
de Ati! durin$ the Zi"u$ of MAN de AA.
E%en thou$h they Eoined her durin$ the Zi"u$) they are still un+orthy of
remainin$ in her) sin'e they are from Behinat Komat Hochma. -fter their o+n
A"iut had /een re'o$niJed) their fla+ from the time of Ne!udim /e'omes
7no+n too) that they do not merit /ein$ in the &la'e of Ati!. 0en'e) they
des'end to the &la'e of 'uf de Ati! alon$ +ith Komat Rosh de AA.
0ere you should 7no+ +hat the 9a% +rites /elo+) that +hen they are /orn) all
the Partzufim fall to Beria and su'7 there from the t+o /ottom thirds de Netzah
and Hod de Ati! there. The reason is that this Masach) +hi'h 'ontains all the
Reshimot in the Achoraim de NHY de Keter and the four Achoraim de A() and
ZA) this Masach is from Behinat 'uf de Ne!udim that rose to Behinat Rosh de
SA' after its Hizda!chut.
Brom there it des'ended from de$ree to de$ree until it $enerated all the
Partzufim de ABYA. 0en'e) sin'e the 'uf de Ne!udim illuminated in the entire
BYA) thus) /efore the A"iut +as re'o$niJed in its 'uf) meanin$ +hile it +as still
'ontained in A"iut de Rosh) it 'ould /e in Behinat Atzilut.
0o+e%er) after its A"iut de 'uf is re'o$niJed) it is time for the Koma to de&art
from the Hit!alelut in the Rosh and des'end to her o+n &la'e) to the &la'e it
+as &rior to its Hizda!chut. This is 'alled the /irth of the Partzuf.
Then the Behinot 'uf de Ne!udim /e'ome a&&arent) +hi'h +ere in the Masach
&rior to its Hizda!chut) +hen it +as in Behinot BYA. 0en'e) ea'h and e%ery
Koma that 'ame out on this Masach +as 'om&elled to 'ome to Beria at the
moment of its /irth) meanin$ +hen its A"iut is re'o$niJed.
0o+e%er) /y Yeni!a from the t+o /ottom thirds of Netzah and Hod de Ati!)
+hi'h are in Beria) they a'>uire the Behinat Atzilut in them on'e more) until
they rise and 'lothe the 'uf de Elyon. The same also ha&&ened to AA) and after
the A"iut de 'uf in the Masach that +as in it from Behinot BYA too +as
re'o$niJed) it +as 'om&elled to lea%e Behinat Rosh de Ati! and 'ome to the
&la'e of Beria) under Parsa de Atzilut. This is 'alled the /irth of the Partzuf.
1t turns out that the Behinot NHY de Mochin that it re'ei%ed from the Elyon
remain in the 'uf de Ati!. -fter AA su'7ed from the t+o /ottom thirds of Ati!)
returned to Atzilut and 'lothed H' NHY de Ati!) it then returned and re'ei%ed
the NHY de Rosh de Elyon) +hi'h 'lothed in it as Mochin.
Thus +e see that the /e$innin$ of the re'e&tion of AA to NHY de Ati! +as
+hile it +as still 'ontained in the Zi"u$ de Rosh de Ati!. 0o+e%er) sin'e durin$
its /irth) it +as 'om&elled to 'ome do+n to Beria) it must therefore return and
re'ei%e them from H' de Ati! on'e a$ain.
1t +as similar in the 'reation of A() /y Nu!"a de AA. This is /e'ause A() +ere
made of Behinat ZA de HB de BON) meanin$ AHP that +ere 'an'elled from
A() after they;%e lost their 'AR. Durin$ the Ne!udim) ZA of these A() +ere
on the same de$ree as NHY de Keter de Ne!udim) and also 'lothed them in
Behinot Mochin.
0en'e) after Nu!"a de AA) +hi'h is Behinat NHY de Keter Ne!udim re'ei%ed
Behinot 'AR /y the Zi"u$ de Ati!) she e.tended Behinat AHP de A() to
Behinat MAN too. AA and Nu!"a mated on these MAN Panim *e Panim and
$enerated Eser Sefirot in Komat Bina) sin'e only A"iut de Behina Bet remained
in the Reshimot) as AA too7 Behina 'imel for himself.
T+o Komot 'ame out /y this Zi"u$) as +ith Ati!) one for 'uf de AA itself)
+hi'h +as only in Behinat Nefesh Ruach /efore) and 'ould not re'ei%e from its
Rosh) sin'e Bina stands in Achoraim to A**a. 4o+) throu$h the MAN from A()
that returned Panim *e Panim) 'uf de AA too re'ei%ed the 'AR. 0o+e%er) they
are 'AR de Behina Bet) not from Behina 'imel) as it has in the Rosh) and a
se'ond Koma 'ame out to Rosh de A()) +hose MAN are theirs.
0ere too it is 'onsidered that NHY de AA 'lothed in Rosh de A()) meanin$
Behinot AHP that Nu!"a de AA too7 from the MAN to 'om&lete the Eser
Sefirot durin$ the Zi"u$ as +ith Ati! for AA. 6hen A() +ere /orn) meanin$
+hen their Masach +as re'o$niJed) they des'ended to Beria too for the same
reason mentioned in AA. The Behinot NHY and the Mochin remained in 'uf de
AA until they returned to Atzilut throu$h the Yeni!a and 'lothed H' de AA)
and then Behinot NHY returned and re'ei%ed their Mochin.
:ou should 7no+ that AA 'annot mate on the MAN de A() /ut only +hen it
'onne'ts and /e'omes one Partzuf +ith Ati!. This is /e'ause Nu!"a de AA is
only half of the /ottom Keter de Ne!udim) +hi'h is only Behinat NHY. 1n order
to sort out the MAN de A() and mate on them) Keter must /e as 'om&lete as it
+as durin$ the Ne!udim) +hen it 'lothed for Mochin in A() de Ne!udim.
#oreo%er) the Zi"u$ is &rimarily named after the Nu!"a de Ati! /e'ause the
/ottom of Keter is 'an'elled and in'or&orates in one 'om&lete de$ree +ith the
Elyon +hen 'onne'tin$ +ith its ?&&er half. The achton) on the other hand)
does not e%en /ear a name) as the 9a% says (Part 6 item 6).
-''ordin$ly) you +ill find that Ati! $i%es t+o 7inds of Mochin for AA2 the first
is for Rosh de AA) +hi'h are Eser Sefirot on Komat Hochma) 'lothed in NHY
de Ati! that a&&eared /e'ause of this Zi"u$ in Rosh de Ati!. These NHY des'end
to AA to$ether +ith the Mochin) sin'e they are un+orthy of Ati!.
Ati! $i%es the se'ond Mochin for the 'uf de AA. This is /e'ause the 'uf de AA
'annot re'ei%e Behinat 'AR from its o+n Rosh) as they are Behinat Panim *e
Achor. Cnly throu$h raisin$ the MAN de A() do Ati! and Arich return to
/e'ome one Partzuf. HB de Rosh also return Panim *e Panim and then des'end
are im&art 'AR to 'uf de AA.
Sin'e that Zi"u$ is also named after Ati!) e%en the Mochin de 'uf are im&arted
from the Zi"u$ Ati!) thou$h from a lo+ Koma) sin'e it is from MAN de A())
+hi'h is /ut Behina Bet. :et) you must understand that the Mochin de Behina
Bet in 'uf de AA is also 'lothed in NHY de Ati!) meanin$ the AHP /y +hi'h
Nu!"a de Ati! +as 'om&leted durin$ the Zi"u$ of this Koma de Behina Bet.
4o+ +e ha%e e.&lained the t+o Zi"u$im de Ati! for AA) and the t+o Behinot
NHY de Ati! that 'lothe AA. NHY de Ati! from Komat Hochma 'lothe Rosh de

4o+ you 'an also see that after the Yeni!a of A() from the t+o /ottom thirds
de Netzah and Hod de Ati!) +hile still in Beria) they thus a'>uire the stren$th to
rise to Atzilut and 'lothe H' de AA. Then they re'ei%e the NHY +ith their

There are three Behinot NHY de Eser Sefirot de Rosh de Ati! that you find here2

It i "nown that there wa o&e ann'$&ent in the NH( o# Keter de
