Each and every one of them shines, and those seven letters are two names, engraved in that gemstone. On the Sabbath day, they sparkle and shine and open doors and come out and govern. They are&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>.

They do not actually become one degree.

These are the ones called&nbsp;<em>Se\u2019arot<\/em>&nbsp;[hair] of&nbsp;<em>AA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After they came out, they divided into two halves of degrees.&nbsp;<em>KH<\/em>&nbsp;remained on&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;<em>AA<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>&nbsp;came out of the degree of&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;and became&nbsp;<em>Se\u2019arot<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dikna<\/em>. At that time of&nbsp;<em>Gadlut<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;at the&nbsp;<em>Sium<\/em>&nbsp;[end] of the&nbsp;<em>Se\u2019arot<\/em>&nbsp;of the&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;descends to the&nbsp;<em>Sium<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Se\u2019arot<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dikna<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Se\u2019arot<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dikna<\/em>&nbsp;rise back to&nbsp;<em>Se\u2019arot<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>, becoming a single degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Sium<\/em>&nbsp;of the&nbsp;<em>Se\u2019arot<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>, which is purified of any judgment due to the descent of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;from there, is called&nbsp;<em>MATZPATZ<\/em>. This is the right hand side&nbsp;<em>MATZPATZ<\/em>&nbsp;at the&nbsp;<em>Sium<\/em>&nbsp;of the&nbsp;<em>Se\u2019arot<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>, which is called \u201ca corner.\u201d That right&nbsp;<em>Sium<\/em>&nbsp;that was purified became the&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Se\u2019arot<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Dikna<\/em>, and it is the left&nbsp;<em>MATZPATZ<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of the two letters&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>, of&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;and of&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>, connecting in two names&nbsp;<em>MATZPATZ MATZPATZ<\/em>, since&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;is the upper third of&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;up to the&nbsp;<em>Chazeh<\/em>, as during the&nbsp;<em>Katnut<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;rose to the place of the Chazeh:&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;that enters the light and becomes&nbsp;<em>Avir<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Ruach<\/em>, without&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, on the Sabbath, when&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;descended from the place of&nbsp;<em>Chazeh<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;was purified from any judgment,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;is now called&nbsp;<em>MATZPATZ<\/em>. This is the right&nbsp;<em>MATZPATZ<\/em>. It follows that the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>MATZPATZ<\/em>, and when this&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;illuminates in the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;and becomes its&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;is also called&nbsp;<em>MATZPATZ<\/em>, but a left hand side&nbsp;<em>MATZPATZ<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>538) The letter&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;that remained in the place of&nbsp;<em>Chazeh<\/em>&nbsp;rises in one name to bond with them, and this is&nbsp;<em>ADNI<\/em>. She descended from there to the bottom gemstone, and all those names protrude and sparkle and come out and govern on Sabbath. When they govern, the upper gemstone,&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, protrudes and sparkles. Because of its sparkling, no color is seen in it because it illuminates only in&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, and the light of&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;has no&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>&nbsp;[body] to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>539) When the gemstone comes out, she makes a coupling and bestows in the names&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>, which are her&nbsp;<em>ZAT<\/em>, since although there is no color in her because she does not receive&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, still the whole abundance of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;in her&nbsp;<em>ZAT<\/em>&nbsp;is received by her. Then one name of them,&nbsp;<em>ADNI<\/em>, which is the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;in the place of the&nbsp;<em>Chazeh<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZAT<\/em>, which is the seventh, is crowned and enters the bottom gemstone,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and sits in its place, in the name&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>, meaning&nbsp;<em>HB<\/em>. After&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;descended from the place of the&nbsp;<em>Chazeh<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;appears, which are&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>, and the upper gem sits in the name&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;and crowns in this sparkling, which sparkles in that name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>540) After the upper gemstone made a coupling and bestowed in the names&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>, seventy branches come out of them, which are&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, to each side, and all join together, becoming a&nbsp;<em>Merkava<\/em>&nbsp;[chariot\/assembly] and a throne to the upper gemstone. Then the King,&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, governs in His crowns in the throne on that day and all rejoice. When all rejoice, the King sits on the throne and the throne rises in seventy branches, since seventy branches are&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, meaning that his&nbsp;<em>HG<\/em>&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>&nbsp;became four legs to the throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>541) Those two letters&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;in the two places&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>, which rise and fall, illuminate and crown 22 letters, who are the whole of the Torah, and these two letters&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;make a coupling in the first two letters of the 22 letters that are arranged in the order&nbsp;<em>Tav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Shin<\/em>&#8211;<em>Reish<\/em>&#8211;<em>Kof<\/em>&nbsp;[<em>TASHRAK<\/em>], which are&nbsp;<em>Tav<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Shin<\/em>. They rise in their illumination to one in six tribes, and to one in six other tribes, and these are the twelve tribes of the upper Israel:&nbsp;<em>Ysrael<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Saba<\/em>. They are four degrees&nbsp;<em>HG<\/em>&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>, where each consists of three lines,&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>, which are twelve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>542) Two letters&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;rise and fall and make a coupling in two letters at the end of the 22 letters that are arranged in the order&nbsp;<em>TASHRAK<\/em>. These are&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Aleph<\/em>, which rise in their illumination, one in five degrees and one in five degrees, corresponding to ten utterances. These ten utterances include 22 letters, since 12 tribes came out in two letters&nbsp;<em>Tav<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Shin<\/em>&nbsp;with ten utterances of two letters at the end\u2014<em>Bet<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Aleph<\/em>\u2014thus they are 22 letters, which are the whole of the Torah, meaning&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, who is called Torah. He is built out of these 22 letters and inherits the upper gemstone in the throne of&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>, and the 22 letters illuminate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>543) When the upper gemstone sits on the throne of&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>&nbsp;and the 22 letters illuminate, the bottom gemstone, who is in the dark, looking in the illumination of 22 letters by the power of the strength of those 22 letters written in her, which are called&nbsp;<em>ADNI<\/em>. Then that light shines and rises, and receives all those 22 upper letters, and the bottom gemstone suckles them into her, and shines an illumination that sparkles to 72 sides, which is the illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;that appears in three lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>544) When the bottom gemstone sparkles and suckles these letters into her, the upper gemstone is drawn with them and the bottom gemstone,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, clings to the upper gemstone,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, who clothes her, and all becomes one. This is the praise \u201cLord God,\u201d said on the Sabbath day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>545) When the 22 letters sparkle to the right and to the left, it is the screen between the upper gemstone and the bottom gemstone, and then the name&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&#8211;<em>Bet<\/em>, and the name&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>&nbsp;of the upper&nbsp;<em>Merkava<\/em>&nbsp;are made. And everything, the name&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&#8211;<em>Bet<\/em>&nbsp;and the name&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>, are called Sabbath, and this is the meaning of the Sabbath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twenty-two letters that illuminate in the upper&nbsp;<em>Mazla<\/em>&nbsp;are her&nbsp;<em>Daat<\/em>, the middle line. The illumination of the middle line does not lean to the right or to the left, but in the upper&nbsp;<em>Mazla<\/em>, the letters sparkle to the right and to the left, and not in the middle, since the middle line does not reveal the illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;together with&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;there, since the upper gemstone is&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, from which the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;never departs the&nbsp;<em>Avir<\/em>. For this reason, there is no unification in the middle line,&nbsp;<em>Daat<\/em>, and it divides into right and left, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, this is the name of the 42 letters, but in&nbsp;<em>ZAT<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and in&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, the middle line shines in the middle, where the light of&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;and the light of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;shine in it together and it does not lean to the right or to the left, and it is the name of the 72 letters. This is the whole difference between the upper gemstone, the name&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&#8211;<em>Bet<\/em>, and the bottom gemstone, which receives from the name&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The screen remained in the upper gemstone\u2014the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;that entered the&nbsp;<em>Ohr<\/em>&nbsp;[light] and became&nbsp;<em>Avir<\/em>&nbsp;[air]. Hence, the middle line does not shine there in illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and the right and left are not united in it. But the bottom gemstone receives from the middle line, which illuminates in&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;together and does not lean to the right or to the left, and the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;comes out of the&nbsp;<em>Avir<\/em>&nbsp;and becomes&nbsp;<em>Ohr<\/em>&nbsp;again. This is the illumination of the name&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This illumination of the upper gemstone became the name&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&#8211;<em>Bet<\/em>, and we must not err that there is no illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;at all in the upper gemstone, for illumination of&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>&nbsp;shines even in the upper gemstone. However, it is not revealed there, since the name&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&#8211;<em>Bet<\/em>&nbsp;governs there. On Sabbath, the two names,&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&#8211;<em>Bet<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>&nbsp;illuminate because on Sabbath,&nbsp;<em>ZON<\/em>, in which&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>&nbsp;illuminate, rise and clothe upper&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>, which are&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, in which the name&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&#8211;<em>Bet<\/em>&nbsp;illuminates. On the rest of the good days, only&nbsp;<em>AB<\/em>&nbsp;illuminates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>546) \u201cRemember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.\u201d \u201cRemember\u201d is a male,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, who receives all the organs, all the&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>&nbsp;of the upper world, which is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. \u201cThe Sabbath day\u201d includes the Sabbath night,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, called \u201cnight.\u201d And this is&nbsp;<em>Et<\/em>&nbsp;[the] is the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;that is called Et. \u201cTo keep it holy\u201d means that it needs&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>&nbsp;[holiness] from the holy people and one must be crowned in them properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>547) \u201cRemember\u201d is a place that has no forgetfulness. Forgetfulness does not exist in it because there is no forgetfulness in the place of the upper covenant,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, much less above in&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>. Below, in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, there is forgetfulness. It is a place that must be mentioned and there are appointees there, who mention a person\u2019s merits and iniquities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>548) There is no forgetfulness before the holy throne, which is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. \u201cRemember,\u201d&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, is before the throne, since&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;stands before the&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and receives from her. It is said about him, \u201cThere is no forgetfulness before Your throne.\u201d It is even more so above&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>: there is no forgetfulness because everything is male and the holy name&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;is engraved there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And below, in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, he must be sanctified. He is sanctified in \u201cRemember,\u201d in&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, from whom she receives all the sanctities and all the blessings. When the Sabbath night,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, is crowned over the holy people as it should be, in prayers and litanies and in an order of joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>549) We should not say that \u201cRemember,\u201d&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, does not need to be sanctified by Israel, since all the blessings and sanctities of the world come out of it.&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;must be sanctified on the Sabbath day, and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;must be sanctified on the Sabbath night, and afterwards Israel receive all the sanctities and sanctify in the&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>&nbsp;of the Creator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>533) There are two gemstones and one screen between them, standing between each other.
