281) At that time, those animals and foundations are whole. They are called \u201choly\u201d for there are no impure ones among them. The whole ones are the bottom Hey<\/em> of HaVaYaH<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>, the wholeness of the middle pillar, ZA<\/em>, in all the HaVaYot<\/em> [plural of HaVaYaH<\/em>] included in ZA<\/em> to all of its six edges, HGT<\/em> NHY<\/em>. This is so because ZA<\/em> himself is Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Vav<\/em> de<\/em> HaVaYaH<\/em>, in which there are six combinations, and the bottom Hey<\/em> complements him in every combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

282) The meaning of it as it is written in The Book of Creation<\/em>, \u201cSealed the high and turned upwards,\u201d in Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Vav<\/em> to the right side, Hesed<\/em>. This is the first combination. Hey<\/em>–Vav<\/em>–Yod<\/em> to the left side, Gevura<\/em>, is the second combination. Vav<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Yod<\/em> in the middle pillar, Tifferet<\/em>, is the third combination. Yod<\/em>–Vav<\/em>–Hey<\/em> in Netzah<\/em> is the fourth combination. Hey<\/em>–Yod<\/em>–Vav<\/em> in Hod<\/em> is the fifth combination, and Vav<\/em>–Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em> in Yesod<\/em> is the sixth combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tree that holds all of them is Tifferet<\/em>, since Tifferet<\/em> contains the whole VAK<\/em> [six edges], and it is a fruit-bearing tree. For this reason, the place where the tree falls will be Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Vav<\/em>, implying that Tifferet<\/em> is called by only three letters, Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Vav<\/em>, and the bottom Hey<\/em> is Malchut<\/em>, which joins him. Hence, his VAK<\/em> are discerned in six combinations of Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Vav<\/em>. Also, in each HaVaYaH<\/em> of the VAK<\/em> there is a complete bottom Hey<\/em> for HaVaYaH<\/em>, meaning that the bottom Hey<\/em> completes into HaVaYaH<\/em>, and all the HaVaYot<\/em> in VAK<\/em> that cling to her. Thus, the Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Vav<\/em> with the Hey<\/em> is Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em> Vav<\/em>–Hey<\/em>. Hey-Vav<\/em>–Yod<\/em> with Hey<\/em> is HaVaYaH<\/em>; Vav<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Yod<\/em> with Hey<\/em> is VaHaYaH<\/em>, and similarly with the rest of the HaVaYot<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

283) These six combinations of Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Vav<\/em> are eighteen letters of the six edges, HGT<\/em> NHY<\/em>, included in the \u201cRighteous one who lives forever,\u201d meaning Yesod<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>. And with the Hey<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>, she becomes Haya<\/em>. This is the Hey<\/em> such as Noah\u2019s ark, Malchut<\/em>, in which every single king had gathered two-two, seven-seven for the offering. Two and two are four; seven and seven are fourteen, and together they are eighteen. The ark itself has the Hey<\/em>, since it is the Malchut<\/em>, and this completes the word Haya<\/em> [Hey<\/em> plus Het<\/em> and Yod<\/em>, which are eighteen in Gematria<\/em>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

284) And Tzadik<\/em>, Yesod<\/em>, comprises six degrees, six edges. For this reason, they have set up bettering the dream in three peaces, three verses in which peace is mentioned, and three redemptions in three verses in which redemption is mentioned. The Yesod<\/em> is Vav<\/em>, and together they amount to six, corresponding to the six degrees of Yesod<\/em>, since the bettering of the dream is through Yesod<\/em>. This is the ladder in Jacob\u2019s dream, which consists of six Sefirot<\/em>. It is placed on the ground, meaning the lower Divinity, Malchut<\/em>, called \u201cearth,\u201d and this is the bottom Hey<\/em>. Its top is the Yod<\/em>, in which there is the Tzadik<\/em>, Yesod<\/em>, the seventh one, since Yod<\/em> is Hochma<\/em> in Ima<\/em>, and when beginning the count from Bina<\/em>, Ima<\/em>, Yesod<\/em> is the seventh. It reaches the heavens, meaning upper Ima<\/em>, first Hey<\/em>, Bina<\/em> in Bina<\/em>, where from the side of the dream, left, the Hey<\/em> rules over the Yod<\/em>, the top of the ladder, which is the Yod<\/em> from Elokim<\/em>. This is why, \u201cThe angels of God ascending and descending,\u201d and not \u201cThe angels of HaVaYaH<\/em> [the Lord].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

285) In order, the letters are Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em> Vav<\/em>–Hey<\/em>. They rise in the point of Holam<\/em>, Keter<\/em>, on the four letters whose expansion is from Hochma<\/em> to the holy Malchut<\/em>, since Hochma<\/em> is Yod<\/em>, Bina<\/em> is Hey<\/em>, the six Sefirot HGT<\/em> NHY<\/em> are Vav<\/em>, and Malchut<\/em> is the bottom Hey<\/em>. Holam<\/em> is the Keter<\/em> above all the letters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
