This is written on the fourth day. But from the second day, Malchut was worthy of being deficient, since on the second day, Hell was created, and since Hell was created in it, the moon, Malchut, is deficient because of it, so why is it written on the fourth day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>414. Also, if the diminution of the moon, Malchut, is on the fourth, and the marriage of a virgin are only on the fourth, and since this is the day of the diminution of the virgin of Israel, Malchut, it is unbecoming that another virgin will be in wholeness, that it will be the time of the marriage of a virgin, since there is no wholeness to a woman unless in her husband. Hence, the time of marriage is the time of her completion. Thus, is it possible that it did not have to be on the fourth day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>415. But on the second day, when Hell was created, it still did not exist, since Hell came out on the second day, the left line, darkness, and then Hell was created in it, as it is written, \u201cputs an end to darkness, and researches every purpose.\u201d Hell is called \u201cend,\u201d and the manner of that end is that it researches every purpose. This is on the fourth day, when it already exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>416. Hell did not exist until the moon, Malchut, was diminished on the fourth day, since the moon is the fourth leg in the upper throne, Bina, where HGT of ZA are three legs, and Malchut is the fourth leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Malchut is the fourth day of the other three Sefirot, HGT of ZA, implied by the first three days of the work of creation, the action of Malchut was said on the fourth day\u2014that she diminished herself and darkened her lights. For this reason, the virgin has existence and wholeness on the fourth day, to show the existence of the moon, Malchut, which is on that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>417. That day when the virgin marries the fourth day and has existence and wholeness below, the herald above stands and declares, \u201cDo not rejoice over me, my enemy; when I fall, I will arise.\u201d Hence, it means that on the day of the fall, the fourth day, was the rising, which is the construction of her wholeness, as it is written, \u201cWhen I fall, I will arise.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>413. \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven.\u201d \u201cLights\u201d is written with a
