1) \u201cAnd the enlightened will glow as the radiance of the firmament.\u201d The enlightened are those who gaze at the wisdom they have attained, since wisdom is called \u201cthe light of the eyes\u201d and attaining it is called \u201clooking.\u201d Why does it not say, \u201cWill shine\u201d? It means that they shine and sparkle in the brightness of the upper Hochma<\/em> [wisdom]. They cannot attain the actual upper Hochma<\/em>, but only from Bina<\/em> that returned to being Hochma<\/em> through her return to the Rosh<\/em> of AA<\/em>. This is considered only the glow of the upper Hochma<\/em>, which is considered as mere glow and not as the actual light of Hochma<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why it is written, \u201cWill glow,\u201d and it is not written \u201cWill shine.\u201d \u201cAs the radiance\u201d means the illumination and sparkling of the river that stretches out of Eden, Bina<\/em>, that emerged from Rosh<\/em> of AA<\/em>, which is Hochma<\/em>, called \u201cEden,\u201d who became Hochma<\/em> when she returned to Rosh<\/em> of AA<\/em>. And the Hochma<\/em> in her is considered as only the glow of the Hochma<\/em>. This is why it is written about her, \u201cAs the radiance,\u201d as in brightness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This this the meaning of the firmament, the screen of the second restriction, which takes Bina<\/em> out of the Rosh<\/em> of AA<\/em> through its ascent to her place. It also brings her back to Rosh<\/em> of AA<\/em> through his return below to the place of Malchut<\/em> of Rosh<\/em> of AA<\/em>. \u201cLike the radiance of the firmament\u201d are the vessels and the Mochin<\/em> that appear through the firmament, since the stars are in it, meaning GAR<\/em> of Mochin<\/em>, as well as the signs, which is VAK<\/em> of Mochin<\/em>, the sun, which is ZA<\/em>, and the moon, which is Nukva<\/em>. And all these candles that shine are all the lights in BYA<\/em>, since all the lights in the four worlds ABYA<\/em> emerge on the screen of the second restriction, called \u201cfirmament.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) The radiance of this firmament shines in its illumination on the garden, Malchut<\/em>. The tree of life, Tifferet<\/em>, stands in the middle of the garden, in the middle line, with its branches\u2014Sefirot<\/em>\u2014covering all the forms, which are the Nefashot<\/em> [souls], and the trees, which are the Ruchot<\/em> [spirits],<\/em> and the perfumes, which are the Neshamot<\/em> [souls (again)] in the garden, in upright vessels, corrected in the three lines. And all the animals of the field\u2014the outer angels\u2014gather in its shade, and all the fowl of the sky\u2014the inner angels\u2014sit under its branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The radiance of the fruits on the tree is the souls that are born from it. It gives life to all and its existence is for all eternity. The other side, of impurity, is not present in it, since the Sitra Achra<\/em> has no nourishment in the tree of life, which is ZA<\/em> in Gadlut<\/em> [greatness], but only the side of holiness. Happy are those who taste from it for they live forever and ever, as it is written, \u201cAnd take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever.\u201d They are called \u201cwise\u201d and they are rewarded with life in this world and in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) The radiance of that tree, ZA<\/em>, rises to YESHSUT<\/em>, and when it rises to YESHSUT<\/em>, it rises above to AVI<\/em>, which are Bina<\/em>. His march is 500 parasangs [a distance measurement] because he receives HGT<\/em> NH<\/em> from Bina<\/em>, whose numerals are hundreds. However, she has no Yesod<\/em> because Ima<\/em> expands only through Hod<\/em>. And when he rises to AVI<\/em>, where illumination of Atik<\/em> shines, his expansion is 600,000, for Yesod<\/em> spreads in him and he receives HGT<\/em> NHY<\/em> from the illumination of Atik<\/em>, whose digits are 100,000 each, hence he is 600,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is one illumination in that tree: Malchut<\/em> in his Guf<\/em> [body]. All the colors, white, red, and green, which are lights of HGT<\/em>, are in her. These colors rise in direct light and descend in reflected light, and do not settle in any place except for that tree, for it is the middle line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) When the lights come out of the tree to be seen inside the radiance that does not shine\u2014the general Malchut<\/em> from Chazeh<\/em> of ZA<\/em> downward, who has ZON<\/em> within herself, which are the small ZON<\/em>, called Jacob and Rachel\u2014the lights intermittently settle and do not settle within her. They are present and absent because they settle nowhere except in that tree, from Chazeh<\/em> of ZA<\/em>, upwards and is called \u201cIsrael.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twelve tribes emerge from that tree, and their zones are in it. These are twelve lights, called \u201ctwelve boundaries of the diagonal.\u201d They descended in this radiance, which does not shine, into the exile in Egypt in several high camps, as it is written, \u201cThese are the names of the children of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob, they came each man with his household.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The verse begins with Israel, as it is written, \u201cThese are the names of the children of Israel,\u201d since the root of the lights of the twelve tribes come from the tree, which is called Israel, from Chazeh<\/em> of ZA<\/em> upward. It concludes with Jacob, as it is written, \u201cWho came to Egypt with Jacob,\u201d since they have shifted from being Israel into being Jacob, from Chazeh<\/em> of ZA<\/em> and below, where the twelve lights of the tribes cannot settle. In the words, \u201cWho come to Egypt,\u201d Mitzrayim<\/em> [Egypt] is from the word Metzer<\/em> [oppressing\/pressing]. This is why the Egyptians ruled over them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
