When she ascends, all the&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;grip her and rise with her. Her ascent to&nbsp;<em>Ein Sof<\/em>, to the sweet savor, is to give a good fragrance before the Creator. Subsequently, she comes down from&nbsp;<em>Ein Sof<\/em>&nbsp;full of atonement for all of Israel\u2019s iniquities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>837) Her ascent is with the middle pillar,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and so is her descent, and that of all her armies. This is why she is called \u201ca ladder,\u201d as all the degrees are in her, ascending and descending, hanging from the name&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>. Because of it, all the sacrifices and offerings are to&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, who is called \u201can offering,\u201d since all the appellations in her approach&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>838) For this reason it is written about her, \u201cAnd his offering is one silver bowl,\u201d namely&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, since there is no degree that approaches&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;without the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. There is not a prayer or commandment from all the commandments in the Torah, or from all the offerings and burnt offerings, that is outside of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. All the degrees in the&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;are not received before&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, except for&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. This is why it is written about her, \u201cBy this,\u201d by&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, \u201cwill Aaron come to the holiness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>839)&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is called&nbsp;<em>Shlamim<\/em>&nbsp;[whole], as she is the wholeness of the name&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;in each degree.

Because of it, it is written about her, \u201cIn the end of the matter, all having been heard, fear God and keep His commandments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is the end from the ten&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>, called&nbsp;<em>Yam Suf<\/em>&nbsp;[Red Sea, or lit. Sea of the End]. She is the wholeness of the upper and lower; she is the gate by which to enter every wisdom, every appellation and&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, and each&nbsp;<em>Sefira<\/em>. She is the knowledge of everything, and none but&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;has permission to look at any knowledge in the world. It is written about her, \u201cThis is the gate to the Lord; righteous shall come through it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>840)&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is a name of forty-two letters: four letters&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, ten letters of the filling, and twenty-eight letters of the filling\u2019s filling.&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is the last letters&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;in the name&nbsp;<em>Mem<\/em>&#8211;<em>Bet<\/em>, by which the upper and lower were created.

She is called&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>&nbsp;in relation to upper&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>, and the exodus from Egypt is mentioned fifty times in the Torah, corresponding to the fifty gates of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. Also,&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is the&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>&#8211;<em>Tav<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Beresheet<\/em>&nbsp;[in the beginning], which includes all ten utterances of the work of creation. With respect to&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, she is the daughter of&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cHe established the earth in wisdom [<em>Hochma<\/em>],\u201d meaning&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, who is called \u201cearth.\u201d&nbsp;<em>Abba<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>; he established the daughter,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and she is \u201cThe path no vulture knows,\u201d which includes thirty-two paths, thirty-two names&nbsp;<em>Elokim<\/em>&nbsp;with regard to upper&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>, who is called \u201cglory.\u201d When included in the daughter, in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is called \u201cheart,\u201d and this is why there are glory above and heart below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>842) The Ten Commandments were given five in one tablet, and five in the other tablet.&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;includes them: they are five&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>, and five&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;from the middle pillar,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, to the daughter,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. They are two times&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>. If the Ten Commandments are from the ten&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>, is it possible to speak of ten mouths, for each&nbsp;<em>Sefira<\/em>&nbsp;to speak with its own particular mouth? Rather, all Ten Commandments were included in one daughter,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and they all became one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the Ten Commandments were included in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and so was the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, called \u201cvoice.\u201d It cannot be attained until it connects with speech,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. This is why it is written, \u201cYou heard the sound of words,\u201d where \u201csound\u201d implies&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and \u201cwords\u201d implies&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>843)&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is the second commandment with respect to&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>, with the count of \u201cfear\u201d [in Hebrew].&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Gematria<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Reish<\/em>&#8211;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;(216), the same as&nbsp;<em>Yiraa<\/em>&nbsp;[fear].

One who feels no shame, his fathers must have not been at the foot of Mount Sinai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>844)&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is the third commandment, the love of&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>. It is written, \u201cI have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with grace [<em>Hesed<\/em>].\u201d Love,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, consists of the patriarchs, in which we read, \u201cIn all,\u201d \u201cFrom all,\u201d \u201call,\u201d which are&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, who is called \u201call.\u201d It is written about Abraham, \u201cAnd the Lord blessed Abraham in everything [all].\u201d And it is written about Isaac, \u201cSo that I ate of all.\u201d And about Jacob, it is written, \u201cI have everything,\u201d as it is written, \u201cI remember for you the affection of your youth, the love of your espousals,\u201d written about&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>845) She is the fourth commandment, the unification from the middle pillar, unification of \u201cHear O Israel.\u201d She is two times twenty-five letters with&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, twenty-five in \u201cHear O Israel,\u201d in&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and twenty-five in \u201cBlessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever,\u201d in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, in the six words of Hear O Israel, the six&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>. Abraham said about her, \u201cLet us go thus far [written with the letters&nbsp;<em>Chaf<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;(25)] and bow,\u201d and it is also written, \u201cThus [same comment as above] shall you say to the house of Jacob.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>846)&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Aleph<\/em>&#8211;<em>Het<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Ehad<\/em>&nbsp;[in the&nbsp;<em>Shema<\/em>&nbsp;reading], is the middle pillar.&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is the&nbsp;<em>Dalet<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Ehad<\/em>, the completion of his unification, to complement the&nbsp;<em>Ehad<\/em>&nbsp;with it.&nbsp;<em>Aleph<\/em>&#8211;<em>Het<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Ehad<\/em>&nbsp;includes nine&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>:&nbsp;<em>Aleph<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Ein Sof<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, and eight&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>Dalet<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Ehad<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, with the tip of the&nbsp;<em>Dalet<\/em>, implying&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>. With&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, the ten&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;are completed, which are ten letters,&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Dalet<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Aleph<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Aleph<\/em>&#8211;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Aleph<\/em>. The&nbsp;<em>Dalet<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Ehad<\/em>&nbsp;comprises the four letters&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>847) The fifth commandment is \u201cAnd you shall contemplate Him day and night.\u201d&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is the written Torah with respect to&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, and the oral Torah with respect to&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>, in which there are&nbsp;<em>HB<\/em>. It is so because in&nbsp;<em>Gadlut<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;ascends and becomes&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>&nbsp;ascends and becomes&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. We learn that one who wishes to grow wise will go south, and one who wishes to grow rich will go north. But there is none who is rich unless in&nbsp;<em>Daat<\/em>&nbsp;[knowledge] and in&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;[understanding]. And the middle pillar,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, includes the right and the left. This is why it is called \u201cheaven,\u201d including fire and water\u2014fire being&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>&nbsp;and water being&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>848) For this reason,&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, which is&nbsp;<em>Chaf<\/em>, is as it is written, \u201cten, ten, a piece, by the shekel of the sanctuary.\u201d These are ten&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;from above downward, and ten&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;from below upward,&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>, three letters that were made&nbsp;<em>Chaf<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, over the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, corresponding to the&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>&nbsp;[crown] of Torah. It is so because&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;is a book of Torah.&nbsp;<em>Chaf<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>, a crown on his head.&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, which adds up to twenty-six, where&nbsp;<em>Chaf<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>&nbsp;is on the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;becomes&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>&nbsp;over&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cA virtuous woman is her husband\u2019s crown,\u201d she rises to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>, and with her, herself, who is a&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, she is&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>. Then those three letters&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;are a crown over the head of&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>849) The sixth commandment of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is a hand&nbsp;<em>Tefillin<\/em>, to place on the left hand,&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>. With respect to&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>&nbsp;it is&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;of the weaker hand,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, hence the hand&nbsp;<em>Tefillin<\/em>&nbsp;should be placed on the left arm, which is&nbsp;<em>Gevura de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are five&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>. These are regarded as the head&nbsp;<em>Tefillin<\/em>&nbsp;of the middle pillar,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, because from&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>&nbsp;it is the head&nbsp;<em>Tefillin<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and from&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>&nbsp;down it is the hand&nbsp;<em>Tefillin<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is a knot of three straps,&nbsp;<em>NHY<\/em>\u2014the knot of two head straps,&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>, and the knot of one strap, of the hand&nbsp;<em>Tefillin<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>. It follows that she is a knot of three straps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>850) The seventh commandment is the commandment of&nbsp;<em>Tzitzit<\/em>&nbsp;[tassel], consisting of azure and white, judgment and mercy. By the candle\u2019s fire, white fire does not consume what is beneath it, as it grips only to the azure fire beneath it. But the azure fire in the candle is attached to the wick and the oil, and consumes and annihilates anything that is beneath it. White fire is&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>; azure fire is judgment. It is written about the azure fire of judgment, \u201cAnd it consumed the burnt offering.\u201d The white is on the right, the azure is on the left, and the middle pillar, the unification between right and left, is green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, from when does one read the&nbsp;<em>Shema<\/em>&nbsp;reading in the morning? From the moment one can tell azure from white, for they must be unified in the middle line in the&nbsp;<em>Shema<\/em>&nbsp;reading. This is why they established to read the portion,&nbsp;<em>Tzitzit<\/em>, in the unification of the&nbsp;<em>Shema<\/em>&nbsp;reading, since her commandment is in white and azure, which must be unified in the&nbsp;<em>Shema<\/em>&nbsp;reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>851) The eighth commandment is a&nbsp;<em>Mezuzah<\/em>. The&nbsp;<em>Shechina<\/em>&nbsp;is called&nbsp;<em>Mezuzah<\/em>&nbsp;with regard to the middle pillar,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, which is the letters of&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, and with regard to the righteous&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, who is the covenant, called&nbsp;<em>Shadai<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>Shadai<\/em>&nbsp;is the king\u2019s seal,&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>. Hence, the&nbsp;<em>Mezuzah<\/em>&nbsp;contains&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;inside the&nbsp;<em>Mezuzah<\/em>, corresponding to the middle pillar, and&nbsp;<em>Shadai<\/em>&nbsp;outside the&nbsp;<em>Mezuzah<\/em>, corresponding to&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>852) The ninth commandment is the&nbsp;<em>Shechina<\/em>, called \u201ctoken of the covenant\u201d with respect to the righteous, foundation of the world,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>. It is written, \u201cThis is the token of the covenant.\u201d \u201cThis,\u201d the&nbsp;<em>Shechina<\/em>, is the token of the covenant. It is written, \u201cIt is a token between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth.\u201d \u201cBetween Me\u201d means between the middle pillar,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, \u201cand between the children of Israel,\u201d&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>, who are called \u201cthe children of Israel.\u201d A token is a righteous,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>. \u201cIt\u201d is the&nbsp;<em>Shechina<\/em>. \u201cFor in six days the Lord made heaven,\u201d from&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>&nbsp;to the middle pillar,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, it is six&nbsp;<em>Sefirot KHB<\/em>&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is six in every place only with respect to the letter&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>. Here, too, six days means&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, with five&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;preceding it, which includes them. But from&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;down it is no longer regarded as&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, but as&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. And there is no seventh unless with respect to the letter&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, a crown over the head of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cA virtuous woman is her husband\u2019s crown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time she is regarded as upper&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and she is called a \u201ctoken\u201d in male form [in Hebrew]. When&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is the lower&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, she is called a token in female form [in Hebrew]. This is why it is written, \u201cIt is a token\u201d punctuated with&nbsp;<em>Hirik<\/em>, which is female form, yet written with a&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>, denoting male form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>853) They established to circumcise on the eighth, eight&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, to receive in them the small&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, to raise her up to&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, so she is a crown over the head of the eight&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>. They established to place the foreskin in a vessel [<em>Kli<\/em>] with dust, to keep the words, \u201cand dust will be the serpent&#8217;s bread.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>854) The tenth commandment in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is \u201cAnd the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath.\u201d The&nbsp;<em>Shechina<\/em>&nbsp;is called \u201cSabbath,\u201d with respect to the three upper degrees, which are&nbsp;<em>Shin<\/em>, which implies the three&nbsp;<em>Sefirot KHB<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is a daughter and fourth to them. \u201cSix days,\u201d which are six&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHY<\/em>, \u201cyou shall do work,\u201d since the building of the world begins with&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cA world of&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;will be built.\u201d But from&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and above, in&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>, it is rest and delight and cessation of any work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>855) The eleventh commandment in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is the morning, afternoon, and evening prayers, with regard to the three patriarchs,&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>. It is the prayer of every mouth,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;that is attached to&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>. It is so because \u201cthe prayer\u201d is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and \u201cof every mouth\u201d is&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, since \u201call\u201d is a righteous,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cFor all that is in heaven and on earth,\u201d&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;gripping the heaven and the earth,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Peh<\/em>&nbsp;[mouth] is the same number as&nbsp;<em>Milah<\/em>&nbsp;[word] (85). A covenant is where male and female of below unite. Likewise, the bride and groom of above,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, unite in&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, the one who lives forever, comprises eighteen blessings in the standing prayer, as it is written, \u201cblessings on the head of the righteous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>856) Because of it, all who kneel, kneel in \u201cblessed,\u201d&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, and all who stand upright, stand upright in the name, the&nbsp;<em>Shechina<\/em>, in the name&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, in which the&nbsp;<em>Shechina<\/em>&nbsp;must be raised upright.
