77. It is written in Zechariah, \u201cI see, and behold, a lamp all of gold with its bowl on its top, and its seven candles on it, seven, and seven spouts for the candles that are on its top.\u201d The meaning of the pure lamps was revealed to Zechariah\u2014one that arranges itself and does not illuminate by itself, Malchut, and one that illuminate and is from ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
78. \u201cI see, and behold, a lamp\u201d is the lamp that arranges itself in praises of colors, meaning the Sefirot engraved in the name ADNI, Malchut. By that name Malchut illuminates to the lower ones, and properly nourishes and provides for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
79. \u201cA lamp all of gold\u201d is the courthouse in the name Elokim, to judge the entire world, which is in judgment. After that name, Elokim, the world was created. Everything in the left. \u201cGold\u201d indicates illumination of Hochma on the left, for all the judgments in the world extend from the left. Also, this Hochma illuminates only together with many judgments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
80. \u201cA lamp all of gold.\u201d \u201cAll\u201d means wholeness, when Malchut is completed on the right side, when the name HaVaYaH is strengthened in her, which is Hesed and right, for then Malchut is entirely under the canopy with HaVaYaH, when all the worlds are in one unity and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is so because then, \u201cits bowl [is] on its top.\u201d It is written Gula [bowl] without a Vav, which is the source of the righteous, Yesod, who became a river whose streams delight the city of God, Malchut. It bears fruits and offspring in the name Tzevaot, and it is bounded by twelve boundaries to the four directions of the world, HG TM, each of which consists of three lines, which are twelve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
81. \u201c…and its seven candles on it.\u201d The illuminating lamp is the upper name, HaVaYaH, engraved in seventy names, which are seventy-two names. These are primarily seventy names by which the Creator is named, and which illuminate to seven pillars on which the world stands\u2014HGT NHYM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
82. \u201cSeven, and seven spouts [candlesticks]\u201d are the lower ones that stand opposite the upper ones. They all grip to the candles on its top\u2014the illumination of the name AB [seventy-two]. \u201cSeven, and seven spouts\u201d are seven days and seven days, seven Sefirot\u2014the upper ones in ZA and the lower ones in Malchut\u2014connecting together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
83. \u201cSeven, and seven\u201d are all above in ZA. Although there are only seven Sefirot in ZA\u2014Bina and HGT NHY\u2014because each is included with another, they are fourteen Sefirot, seven and seven. However, it is good that the six Sefirot HGT NHY are included in one another, but with whom is the remaining one, Bina, included?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
84. When all amount to twelve, where HGT NHY are included in one another and become twelve, the one standing over them, Bina, which compliments them to thirteen, is included in the one stands above it\u2014a degree in which all are included. This is the uppermost point, Hochma from which all emerge, and with which they become fourteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
85. There are two degrees, each is called \u201cseven.\u201d One is the next world, Bina, YESHSUT, in which there are seven Sefirot, HGT NHYM. Also, it is called \u201cseven,\u201d as it is written concerning the First Temple, which is Bina, \u201cAnd they built it seven years.\u201d One is the righteous, Yesod, who is called \u201cseven,\u201d comprising seven Sefirot HGT NHYM, as it is written, \u201cFor seven times shall a righteous fall and rise,\u201d seven risings corresponding to seven falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
86. These two Sefirot, Bina and Yesod, called \u201cseven spouts for the candles,\u201d are one on that side and one on the other side. Although they are counted among those candles, since the seven candles are Bina and HGT NHY, they already contain Bina and Yesod. Hence, the merit of all the candles comes from those two, which are their seven and seven spouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is so because these candles shine on the top of the lamp, and the lamp illuminates by their power to rise up to Bina. When the lamp rises, meaning Bina, it rises from degree to degree, from Sefira to Sefira, until everything unites above, in Bina. This is the meaning of what is written, \u201cThe song of songs that is for Solomon,\u201d meaning that everything unites in Solomon, Bina, for \u201csong\u201d is Malchut, \u201cof songs\u201d is Yesod, \u201cwhich is\u201d is ZA, and all unite in Bina, which is \u201cfor Solomon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
87. The Song of Songs<\/em> was determined according to the words of Elijah with permission from the upper one. The Song of Songs<\/em> is the praise of praises to the king that peace is his, Bina, for he is the place that needs joy, where there are no anger or judgment because the next world, Bina, is all joy, delighting everyone. For this reason, it sends gladness and joy to all the degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 88. As the awakening of gladness should be evoked from this world upward, joy and gladness should be evoked from the world of the moon, Malchut, to the upper world, Bina. Therefore, the worlds stand in one manner and the awakening rises only from below upward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 77.
