173. The friends, dwellers of the south, explained in their secrets the four compartments of the Tefillin in the following manner: \u201cSanctify to Me every firstborn,\u201d plainly a firstborn, corresponds to the upper Keter. \u201cAnd it shall come to pass when the Lord brings you\u201d corresponds to Hochma. \u201cHear O Israel,\u201d \u201cAnd you shall love,\u201d correspond to Bina, \u201cAnd it shall come to pass that if you earnestly listen,\u201d corresponds to Hesed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afterwards, they are all incorporated in the Tefillin, in the left arm called \u201cstrength,\u201d as it is written, \u201cand the arm of His strength.\u201d There is no strength but the Torah, and there is no strength but the Tefillin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
174. The matters are not settled because the upper Keter contains everything, and it is not counted among the four portions. Also, \u201cAnd it shall come to pass when the Lord brings you\u201d depends on the exodus from Egypt, which is that place where there is freedom for slaves, Bina. For this reason, the way of our friends, dwellers of the south, is not established. Rather, we begin with Hochma, for the verse, \u201cSanctify to Me every firstborn,\u201d is Hochma and not Keter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Creator, ZA, wears those Tefillin. They are four portions above, and four below. Four are in the place of the Moach [brain], which are the four Mochin of ZA. Four are in the place where the heart is, Malchut, since one is tied to the other, ZA is tied to Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
175. One must be crowned in them since they are the high, holy name, HaVaYaH, as it is written, \u201cAnd all the peoples of the land shall see that the name of the Lord is called upon you,\u201d and anyone who is crowned with this high, holy crown is called \u201cking\u201d in the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Creator is the king in the firmament, as it is written, \u201cA king is held captive by your tresses.\u201d As the Creator is King above, He is also King below. It is written, \u201cAnd you shall write them on the doorposts of your home,\u201d so that a person is complete in all, and is complete with the commandments of his master, inscribed above, inscribed below. Happy are Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
176. There are two writings. Although everything is hanging from one degree, they are nevertheless not from one degree. It is written, \u201cThus said the Lord of hoses,\u201d and it is written, \u201cThus said the Lord God.\u201d When it is written, \u201cThus said the Lord of hosts,\u201d the matter comes in mercy. When it is written, \u201cLord God,\u201d the matter comes in judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
177. \u201cThus said the Lord of hosts,\u201d since this Koh, Malchut, is blessed from a righteous, Yesod, and from NH, who are called \u201cthe Lord of hosts.\u201d At that time, the matter comes in sweetening, since it comes from Yesod. And the verse, \u201cThus said the Lord God,\u201d then Koh, Malchut, suckles from the side of judgment, the upper Gevura, Gevura of ZA, and the judgment in mercy since it is written, \u201cLord God,\u201d where HaVaYaH is mercy and God is judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
178. God is Gevura everywhere. ADNI is the bottom Gevura everywhere. For this reason, the matters are evident from the words of the prophet by the name that he mentioned\u2014from which degree he prophesied, that he intends to say a word in its place. At that time, the faithful ones would know from which place the word is hanging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
