As the moon,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, is purified in the beginning of the month, to approach her husband,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, one portion of that kind of&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>&nbsp;should be given to the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>, meaning a he-goat. Likewise, when the woman is purified for her husband, she should give one portion to the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>, of his own kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>685) That part which the woman must give to the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>&nbsp;is the nails with their filth, and a little of the tips of the hair. She must comb her hair, tie them together, and give them to the&nbsp;<em>Sitra Achra<\/em>, and that evil side will not follow her to harm her, and will part from her from all sides. Once she has tied together those hairs and nails she must place them in a place where people do not go, or in low-lying holes in the yard, and hide them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>686) \u201cAnd on your new moons [beginnings of months].\u201d When they would sanctify the month according to the courthouse, they would burn torches on the tops of the mountains, and would say, \u201cObey this to the letter.\u201d Sometimes the moon was like this:&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/staging.kabbalah.info\/d0c35df3-8945-4620-a7a4-95c95a111233\" alt=\"Chaf_to_Top\">&nbsp;, when she was looking up with her rays. Sometimes she would look down, like this:&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/staging.kabbalah.info\/1ee66a00-0d01-44f9-a786-bbc6132e8647\" alt=\"Chaf_to_Bottom\">&nbsp;. At times she would look to the east, like this:&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/staging.kabbalah.info\/2a4f40bd-3b78-4f92-b4ce-e5ccc68b76b4\" alt=\"Chaf_to_Back_Upside_Down\">&nbsp;, and at times to the west, like this:&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/staging.kabbalah.info\/781add0b-851c-41fd-b259-a2bb35da068e\" alt=\"Chaf_to_Front\">&nbsp;. And at times to the south and at times to the north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is her looking to the six sides, where&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, the big&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>, includes them, which are&nbsp;<em>Gedula<\/em>&nbsp;[greatness],&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Netzah<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Hod<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>Gedula<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, is her looking to the south. Her looking to the north is&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>, to the east is&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, and to the west is&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>687) The dot that extends in the moon,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, from within, is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. The thread that surrounds the moon, is&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>. The dot as a whole is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and at times she is the&nbsp;<em>Atara<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cA virtuous woman is her husband\u2019s crown.\u201d At times she is a throne to&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, to sit on, at times a footstool for the feet of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>688)&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is called&nbsp;<em>Levana<\/em>&nbsp;[\u201cwhite,\u201d but also \u201cmoon\u201d] after the&nbsp;<em>Libun<\/em>&nbsp;[whitening] of the law, after the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;of the right that whitens the law,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, which is called \u201claw.\u201d The&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is from within&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cThe King&#8217;s daughter is all glorious within.\u201d She is whitened by the fire of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;that descends upon her, as it is written, \u201cThough your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the reason why she was called&nbsp;<em>ADNI<\/em>, with the letters&nbsp;<em>DINA<\/em>&nbsp;[<em>Dalet<\/em>&#8211;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Nun<\/em>&#8211;<em>Aleph<\/em>], red in&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>, on the left line, where it is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, she is whitened by&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, where it is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and returns to the name&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, mercy. The&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;of the left receives from&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, she receives&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;of the right, and she is whitened by both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>689) And what caused&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;to turn from judgment to mercy? The complete righteous. The&nbsp;<em>Klipa<\/em>&nbsp;of the moon,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;from the side of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, is darkness. She is a black dot, which is the evil inclination, a maidservant. Also,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;has of her own only that thread which illuminates in her, a thread of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;of the left without&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, which is the heart of her structure. However, its light is as faint as a thread, since it cannot illuminate without&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It accompanies her at night in the exile, as it is written, \u201cShe rises while it is still night.\u201d It is removed from her during the day because in the day is the governance of&nbsp;<em>Hassadim de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;of the left cannot rule during the day. In the day it is the light of&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;of the next world,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, of which it is written, \u201cBut unto you that fear My name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>690) The moon,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, from the side of the tree of life,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, that point of internality within her,&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;of the right,&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, is as a never ending fountain because it extends from upper&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>&nbsp;through&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, whose&nbsp;<em>Zivug<\/em>&nbsp;never ceases. It is written about her, \u201clike a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.\u201d She is called a \u201cdoe of love\u201d from the side of&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, love, as it is written, \u201cI have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with affection have I drawn you with grace [<em>Hesed<\/em>].\u201d Thus, love is&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>. She has two rays from the light, like this:&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/staging.kabbalah.info\/1969ebd0-aead-4743-8656-46e7fdebe53e\" alt=\"Chaf_to_Top\">&nbsp;.
