Here, six great, upper edges are engraved, VAK of Bina, from whom everything comes, and from whom six origins and streams, VAK of ZA, were made, to bring them into the great sea, Malchut. That is, Barah [created] Sheet [Aramaic: 6] is implied in the letters of Beresheet, since six edges were created from here. And who created them? The one who is not mentioned; that hidden one who is not known, AA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explanation: There are two Hochmot [plural of Hochma] in Atzilut: 1) The first Hochma, Hochma of AA, is called Hochma Stimaa. 2) The Hochma of the thirty-two paths. This is Bina that rises to the Rosh of AA, where she becomes Hochma to bestow upon ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beresheet means in Hochma. It is so because Resheet [beginning\/primer\/prime] is the name of Hochma, but not the first Hochma, that of AA, but Hochma on which the world stands, the Hochma of the thirty-two paths that the world, ZON, stands on, from whom it receives, and in whom it exists. But ZA cannot receive anything from Hochma of AA himself, and the world was not created by her. This is why it is written, Beresheet Barah [In the beginning [God] created] refers to the Hochma of the thirty-two paths, which is Bina that returns to being Hochma through her ascent to Rosh AA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the ZON, the world, receive from the Hochma of thirty-two paths, they rise to upper AVI, and AVI are called \u201cthe high, hidden secrets.\u201d This is why it was said, \u201cHochma, on which the world, ZA, stands, to enter the high and hidden secrets.\u201d \u201cStands\u201d means obtainment of Mochin. ZON exist through the Mochin that he receives from the Hochma, and through her they rise to the high and hidden secrets, which are AVI, clothing them, meaning becoming like them, since the lower one that rises to the upper one becomes like him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, the six great, upper edges are engraved, VAK of the upper Bina &#8230; That is, Barah [created] Sheet [Aramaic: 6], since Beresheet has the letters of Barah Sheet. And the \u201cSix edges\u201d are VAK. Great, upper six edges were engraved in this Hochma, from whom all are emanated and emerge, as it is written, \u201cYou have made them all in wisdom [Hochma].\u201d It is so because this Hochma is Bina that came out of the Rosh of AA because Aba took Ima out because of the sons, and Aba himself is set up as a kind of male and female. Hochma of AA and Aba of Atzilut set themselves up as a kind of male and female through the Malchut that rose to them in the place of Bina, hence Bina herself departed from Rosh of AA and from Aba, and became Guf of AA, without a Rosh, since while she stands in Guf of AA, she could not receive from GAR of AA and became VAK, devoid of GAR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the Bina was engraved and became six edges without a Rosh. Here, six great, upper edges from which everything comes out were engraved, since VAK without GAR were engraved in Hochma of the thirty-two paths, who is Bina, due to her exit from Rosh of AA. Afterwards, through MAN from the lower ones, she returns to Rosh of AA and receives GAR of Hochma from AA, and she gives to ZON, who give the abundance to all the worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, all the worlds come out of those six edges that were engraved in Bina. They are called \u201cgreat, upper VAK\u201d because they are from Bina, like the letters of Bina, which are called \u201cbig letters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom them, six origins and streams were made, to bring them into the great sea, Malchut.\u201d This is so because the carving of six edges while the Bina is outside Rosh of AA is called \u201csix origins,\u201d as they are only the origins of Mochin of ZA. Afterwards, upon her return to Rosh of AA, they become Mochin of GAR, which are called \u201cstreams for ZA.\u201d Then they become six streams, as it is written, \u201cHe will drink from the brook by the wayside; therefore, He will lift up His head,\u201d and then ZA imparts them upon the great sea, his Nukva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From them, from VAK, from six great, upper edges of Bina, six origins were made, VAK of ZA of Katnut. And the streams are the Mochin of ZA. To bring them means to impart into the great sea, to Nukva. And VAK of Katnut of Bina are called \u201corigins of Mochin\u201d is that Bina went out to be VAK of Katnut only to become a source for imparting Mochin upon ZON. Had Bina not gone out, they would be unfit for any Mochin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was said Barah Sheet [created six]. \u201cCreated\u201d points to VAK without a Rosh, since the word \u201ccreated\u201d means blocking. Thus, two issues are implied here in the word Beresheet: 1) Hochma, for Resheet [first, beginning] indicates Hochma. 2) Barah Sheet, to show that six edges without a Rosh were created out of Hochma, and these are the origins of Mochin for ZON. They are called \u201cworld,\u201d and they are the seven days of creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And who created them? The one who is not mentioned, that hidden one who is not known, AA. Since the word Barah is in Beresheet itself, who is it who created it? It is said about this that it is that hidden one who is not known, Hochma Stimaa of AA, since he took Bina out of his Rosh and made her VAK, creating these six great upper edges, implied in Beresheet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>40) Beresheet [In the beginning] means in Hochma, on which the world, ZA, stands, to enter the high, hidden secrets
