31. How are the ascents of the Orot to the Rosh of SAG different than in all the other Partzufim?

The Reshimot de SAG connected with the Reshimot of the Inner MA and BON. This caused a new Tzimtzum in the Nekuda de Behina Bet.

(Ohr Pnimi item 7)

32. How many Orot rose from below, from Tabur, for MAN?

Two kinds of Orot: the lower nine de SAG, and ZON de AK ha Pnimi.

(Ohr Pnimi item 7)

33. What is the new Ohr that emerged by the Tzimtzum NHY and their ascent upward?

By the Tzimtzum of NHY, the Reshimot contained in it, rose to the Rosh de SAG, to Nikvey Eynaim, which are Behina Aleph, and a Koma de Behina Aleph extended, called MA and BON. When the Aviut de Guf in the Masach was recognized, it descended from there to its place in the Guf, which is Tabur. In addition, it is Behinat Katnut de Nekudim.

(Ohr Pnimi item 10)

34. Is the Ohr that came out of Nikvey Eynaim Atzmut or additions?

It is the Atzmut of the Ohr de Nekudim because what appears in the beginning of the creation is the Atzmut.

(Ohr Pnimi item 10)

35. What is the Koma that came out of Nikvey Eynaim?

The Koma is primarily Behina Aleph, which is Komat ZA. However, there is also Behinat Zachar there, having a Koma of Behina Bet as Hitlabshut that remains from the last Behina.

(Ohr Pnimi item 14)

36. How many Zivugim were there for the purpose of Nekudim?

Two kinds of Zivugim:

• The first Zivug was by the ascent of the Masach and the Reshimot to the Rosh de SAG to Nikvey Eynaim, from which came the Behinat Katnut de Nekudim.

• The second Zivug was by the Zivug de AB and SAG and the fissuring of the Parsa. Consequently, the AHP returned to Behinat Rosh, and from here emerged the Gadlut de Nekudim.

(Ohr Pnimi item 14)

37. What is the gist and the Atzmut of Nekudim?

The Ohr that came out of the Nikvey Eynaim is considered the Atzmut of the Nekudim.

(Ohr Pnimi item 14)

38. What is the first Behina of Nekudim?

The first Rosh that came out of Tabur de AK ha Pnimi and up to the Chazeh, called YESHSUT, is the first Behina of the Nekudim. However, it is considered Akudim since the Aviut in the Masach that stands in the place of Tabur is completely inactive from below upward, hence this Rosh has nothing of Behinat Nekudim.

(Ohr Pnimi item 20)

39. What is the second Behina of Nekudim?

AHP that came out of Rosh ah Aleph and were considered and valued as Behinat Guf and receiving from it, are the second Behina of the Nekudim. Also, they are the GAR de Nekudim.

(Ohr Pnimi item 20)

40. What is the third Behina of Nekudim?

The Behinot of the actual Guf of Nekudim, below the AHP, are the third Behina de Nekudim. They are called “the seven lower Sefirot of the Nekudim”.

(Ohr Pnimi item 20)

41. Where do GAR de Nekudim take Ohr?

GAR de Nekudim receive from the first three Tikkunim of Dikna in their gathering place, called Shibolet ha Zakan. This is because the three Tikkunim of Dikna in their place in the Rosh are Behinat Rosh ha Aleph of the Dikna.

(Ohr Pnimi item 20)

42. Why did GAR de Nekudim not die?

Because they received their He’arah from Shibolet ha Zakan. However, the lower seven received their He’arah only from the Hotem Peh and therefore died.

(Item 23)

43. Why is there no cancellation in the Keter, but only in the Achoraim of AVI?

Because the Keter is the Behinat Zachar of the MA and BON, having Behina Bet de Hitlabshut, while Hochma and Bina are the Behinat Nekeva, having only Aviut de Behina Aleph. Hence the Zachar has Komat Bina, which is Ohr Awzen, and he also has Behinot GAR from the beginning of its creation.

For that reason even its Achoraim were not canceled, whereas the Nekeva, which is HB, has only Komat Behina Aleph, which is ZA. Thus, she could not receive Komat GAR and their Achoraim were canceled.

(Ohr Pnimi item 23)

44. Why is the primary He’arah of Nekudim only through Panim?

Because the Ohr Eynaim doesn’t shine to the Kelim de Achor but to the Kelim de Panim, above Tabur, which are here through the Peh. The lower seven are considered from Tabur down because the AHP came out and became Behinot HGT. However, some He’arah does come to them through the sides as Ohr Hassadim.

(Ohr Pnimi item 25)

45. Why does the Guf de Nekudim begin from Daat and not from Keter, as in every other place?

Because Rosh ha Aleph took the two Sefirot Keter and Hochma, called GE, and the second Rosh has only Bina and ZON, meaning AHP de Rosh ha Aleph. It is known that Rosh ha Aleph does not join Partzuf Nekudim in any way; only Rosh ha Bet is considered the Rosh of the Nekudim.

It is also known that the entire amount in the Rosh travels through and clothes in the Guf. Thus, since there are no more than three Kelim Bina, ZA and Malchut in the Rosh, there are also not more than these three Kelim in the Guf, lacking Keter and Hochma.

(Ohr Pnimi item 26)

46. Why is Keter not called Daat?

Because there is Ohr Awzen in Keter too, since there is Behinat Zachar there, having Behina Bet de Hitlabshut.

(Ohr Pnimi item 26)

47. From which place in Dikna do GAR de Nekudim extend?

From Shibolet ha Zakan.

(Ohr Pnimi item 4)

48. What caused the ascent of the Nekudot from MA and BON?

Because the Masach had been purified of its entire Aviut and equalized with Malchut of the Rosh, as it is known in the other Partzufim.

(Ohr Pnimi item 6)

49. Which renewal occurred in the ascent of the Masach de SAG compared to the other Partzufim?

Here in SAG, the Masach consists of Reshimot of two Partzufim: its own Partzuf, and Partzuf Galgalta de AK.

(Ohr Pnimi item 6)

50. How did Behina Dalet connect in the Masach de SAG after it had already been purified into Behina Aleph?

Behina Dalet is primarily from Tabur de Partzuf Galgalta de AK downward. Even though the Masach has already been purified from there, it still does not relate to the Kelim in any way, as there is no Hizdakchut in the Kelim.

However, when the Kelim are emptied of Ohr, they are quiet, inactive. Thus, when Ohr SAG reached there, Behina Dalet returned and reappeared as in the beginning.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 7)

51. Why did Komat Keter not come out of the lower Hey in Nikvey Eynaim as in Partzuf Galgalta?

Because the First Hey is the principal, since the Masach is from Partzuf SAG. The lower Hey is subordinate to it, having connected in it through He’arat SAG below Tabur.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 7)

52. Why did the Masach rise to Nikvey Eynaim and not to Peh?

Because the last Behina does not leave a Reshima, except from Behinat Hitlabshut, from which there is no Hitpashtut Kelim. Also, nothing remains from the Behinat Hamshacha but Behina Aleph, hence it rose to its corresponding Behina in the Rosh, which is the Eynaim.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 7)

53. Why are all the Tikkunim dependent primarily on MA and BON?

Because the lower Hey only connected with MA and BON, and not in its previous Partzufim. She comes from the below Tabur de AK ha Pnimi, being the Shoresh of any Tzimtzum and Din in the Olamot.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 8)

54. Why is Olam ha Nekudim called BON only?

Because everything that is considered MA broke in the breaking of the vessels, and only its Behinat First Hey remained, being ascribed to BON.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 8)

55. Which Partzuf of AK does the Rav deal with?

Partzuf SAG de AK. This is because it is forbidden to engage in the first two Partzufim Galgalta de AK and AB de AK.

(Ohr Pnimi item 1)

56. Where are the Mochin de SAG from?

HGT de AK are Neshama and Mochin to the Rosh de SAG.

(Ohr Pnimi item 1)

57. Why does SAG begin from the Awzen?

Because Partzuf SAG comes out on a Masach of Aviut de Behina Bet, which raises Ohr Hozer and clothes only up to Bina, whose name in the Rosh is Awzen.

(Ohr Pnimi item 1)

58. Where does SAG end?

Before Tzimtzum Bet expanded to the Sium Raglin of AK, and from Tzimtzum Bet onward, it rises and ends above Tabur de AK.

(Ohr Pnimi item 1)

59. Where does AB end?

Above Tabur de AK ha Pnimi. This is because the lower Hey is not contained in the Masach de AB, hence it cannot expand below Tabur, where Behinot lower Hey is, meaning Malchut de AK ha Pnimi.

(Ohr Pnimi item 1)

60. Where do Taamim de SAG end?

They end equally with Sium Raglin de AB de AK because the Zachar clothed in Kli de Keter, which is Taamim. It has Komat Hochma, like the AB, and it too, like AB, cannot shine to the lower Hey below Tabur.

(Ohr Pnimi item 1)

61. Where was the place of Nekudot de SAG prior to the Tzimtzum?

They begin from Tabur de AK ha Pnimi and end at its Sium Raglin.

(Ohr Pnimi item 1)

62. Why is only Keter de SAG called Taamim?

Because first all the Orot come in Kli de Keter. Only after the Masach begins to purify and diminish do the other Komot Hochma, Bina and ZON begin to emerge during the degrees of its purification. It is known that before the Masach begins to purify, it is Ohr Yashar and Rachamim. This is only Kli de Keter, hence the name Rachamim.

However, the rest of the lower nine come out along with the Hizdakchut of the Masach; that is why they are called Nekudot. It indicates that they are Ohr Hozer and Din.

(Ohr Pnimi item 3)

63. Why are the lower nine called Nekudot?

See above answer No. 62.

64. What is the SAG de SAG de AK?

That part of SAG incorporated in the lower Hey is called SAG de SAG, meaning the Nekudot of SAG that came out as lower Hey in the Eynaim and YHV in the AHP. However, that part of SAG not incorporated in Behinat lower Hey is called Taamim de SAG, or AB de SAG, or AVI.

(Ohr Pnimi item 4)

65. Is the division of the degree apparent also in the Rosh de SAG?

No division of the degree is apparent in the Rosh of SAG, although it is where the Zivug of the lower Hey in the Eynaim is rooted. Instead, a new Partzuf is added there, in the form of Se’arot, whose AHP departed, called Se’arot Dikna.

(Ohr Pnimi item 2)

66. What caused the division of MA and BON into two Partzufim?

The Masach that purified and rose from the SAG consists of two Behinot: Reshimot de Taamim, and Reshimot de Nekudot. Thus, two kinds of Zivugim were made on it:

1. From the Zivug on the Reshimot de Taamim came out the MA and BON Elyon, clothing the place of Taamim, which is from Peh de SAG to Tabur.

2. From the Zivug on the Reshimot de Nekudot de SAG came out the MA and BON Tachton, clothing the place where Nekudot de SAG stood, from Tabur down. This MA and BON Tachton is the one called Eser Sefirot de Nekudim.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 24)

67. What is the merit of MA and BON above Tabur compared to MA and BON below Tabur?

As GAR compared to VAK, or as AVI compared to ZON.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 24)

68. What caused the division of AVI and YESHSUT into two Partzufim?

The issue of the Hitpashtut of the lower nine below Tabur de AK ha Pnimi to the place of the lower Hey and Behina Dalet caused the division of SAG into two Partzufim. This is because the Taamim that did not mix with the lower Hey and end above Tabur, are considered the same as AVI compared to the Nekudot that descended below Tabur and mixed with Behina Dalet. Also, the Nekudot to the Taamim are as YESHSUT to AVI.

(Item 6)

69. Did YESHSUT and GAR de Nekudim connect after the fissuring of the Parsa?

The issue of the cancellation of the Gevul of the Parsa was only for the time being. Hence the lower Hey in YESHSUT is considered permanent and not as descending below Tabur to connect with the GAR de Nekudim. Only its He’arah alone descends to the GAR de Nekudim.

(Ohr Pnimi item 17)

70. How many Behinot are there in Partzuf Dikna?

There are three Behinot in Dikna:

1. The first three Tikkunim of Dikna, connected at the Rosh in the Upper Lechi (cheek).

2. Shibolet ha Zakan, which is the Behinat AHP that exit from the Rosh.

3. The other Tikkunim of Dikna.

(Ohr Pnimi item 19)

71. Why was the Ohr Awzen blocked at Shibolet ha Zakan?

Because the entire Ohr Awzen in the Ohr Eynaim is merely the Behinat Zachar, having Behina Bet de Hitlabshut. It is known that Behinat Zachar has no Behinat Hitpashtut to Kelim. Hence, the Behinat Kli de Zachar is blocked at Shibolet ha Zakan, which is the Behinat Keter de Shibolet.

Also, in HB de Shibolet, being its Behinat Nekeva, its He’arah de Zachar reaches, but it does not expand at all below the Shibolet, as it lacks Behinat Hamshacha.

(Ohr Pnimi item 24)

72. What are the four divisions of Nekudim?

There is the Keter of Nekudim here, where the Etzem of the Ohr de Awzen, being Behinat Zachar, has Behina Bet de Hitlabshut, being Behinat GE de Rosh of the Nekudim. There is also Behinat HB, which are Behinat AHP that went outside and became HGT, though they are Behinat Rosh at their Shoresh.

After that there is the Behinat actual Guf of the Nekudim, which is ZAT. There are two Behinot there too: HGT, considered GAR de VAK, and NHY, which are the ZON de VAK.

(Ohr Pnimi item 26)

73. What is the meaning of “and the arms of his hands were made supple,” and not his legs?

The Parsa consists of Behina Bet and Behina Dalet because of the ascent of NHY to HGT, since Behina Bet operating in HGT, which are the SAG, with Behina Dalet, operating in NHY de AK ha Pnimi. Then the Ohr de Eynaim did not reach ZAT de Nekudim, only the GAR alone.

However, by the force of the Zivug de AB and SAG, a new Ohr came, fissuring the Parsa. It canceled the Gevul because it lowered the lower Hey to her place and Ohr HGT returned and illuminated to NHY as in the beginning. At that time the lower seven of Nekudim received He’arat SAG too, thus the Ohr itself is considered Ohr de HGT, meaning of the SAG.

It is said about that, “and the arms of his hands were made supple,” but the reception place is considered the Tzipornaim of the Raglaim. This is Behinat Gevul in the Parsa, ending the SAG from the lower seven received because of its fissuring. Thus, from the perspective of the Raglaim, it is considered reception, and from the perspective of the Ohr itself, it is considered hands.

(Ohr Pnimi item 28)

74. Where is the distinction of the lower Hey in the Eynaim and the YHV in the AHP most noticed?

It is most noticed in the GAR de Nekudim , called Rosh ha Bet.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 10)

75. What does it mean that the Tzimtzum was to diminish the Ohr de Atzilut?

All the degrees were divided by two through Tzimtzum NHY, to GE and AHP. Only GE remained in the Atzilut of the degree, and the AHP became the Beria of the degree.

This is what happened in all the degrees until Bina and ZON of Eser Sefirot de NHY became Behinat “separated Beria”. Thus the Atzilut was diminished in all the degrees through Tzimtzum NHY.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 14)

76. What is the Parsa?

See answer No. 23 and Answer 79.

77. What is the correction of the Parsa for the purpose of Beria?

Through the Tikun of Parsa in such a way that the lower Hey can descend to her place, the AHP that came out and became the Beria of the degree return to the Atzilut of the degree.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 14)

78. What is the difference between Parsa and Sium Raglin?

The Parsa is considered the Sium Raglin of the inner Partzuf. Like the Parsa inside the intestines of a person separates the breathing, vitality organs, from the feeding organs, so the Parsa separates SAG above Tabur from the other half of the Partzuf below Tabur. This is so even though these two halves are one Partzuf, but the Etzbaot Raglaim are Behinot Sium for a whole Partzuf.

(Ohr Pnimi item 9)

79. When was the Parsa made?

The Parsa was made after the Masach was incorporated in the Zivug de Rosh SAG in the Nikvey Eynaim from which it descended to the place of Tabur. It generated Eser Sefirot de Rosh from Nikvey Eynaim upward, meaning from Tabur up, called YESHSUT, and the two Heyin, the First Hey and the lower Hey connected in these Nikvey Eynaim at the Peh of Tabur.

Then a Behinat Parsa expanded by that connection, generally considered the Behinat Sium on the GAR. However, she particularly ends three Partzufim:

1. She ends Nekudot de SAG so that they do not expand to shine below Tabur once more as prior to Tzimtzum NHY. This is because the point of Sium de SAG was in her because of the incorporation of the lower Hey in her.

2. She has the point of Sium on the MA and BONE lyon, which also came out of the Nikvey Eynaim, though she came out of the Behinot Reshimot de Taamim de SAG that are not involved in the lower Hey. Thus, they too ended on the Parsa.

Because there is Behina Bet de Hitlabshut in them, meaning the Zachar, whose Koma reaches the Awzen, they are considered SAG, Behinat AVI.

3. The third is that Rosh ha Aleph, the Behinat GE of the Nekudim, considered Akudim because the lower Hey in its Eynaim cannot act at all from below upward.

Thus, the Parsa ends three Partzufim, and the Ohr that descends below Parsa is but Ohr Achoraim, meaning VAK without GAR. Hence, the HB de Nekudim are devoid of GAR.

(Ohr Pnimi item 9)

80. What is the fissuring of the Parsa?

Canceling the partition between the GE of the degree and its AHP is considered the fissuring of the Parsa, meaning the canceling of the Gevul in it. This is done by lowering the lower Hey to her actual place.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 14)

81. Why is the return of the AHP to the Rosh named after the Parsa?

The diminution of the Ohr de Atzilut, which is the erection of the degree on the two Sefirot Keter and Hochma alone, and the removing of the AHP from there, is done by the ascent of the lower Hey to the Nikvey Eynaim de Rosh ha Aleph. This is because the lower Hey was associated with the First Hey there, and never descends from there.

However, there are two Tikkunim in the Parsa, extending from this connection: lowering the lower Hey from the Behinat First Hey, and returning the AHP to the Atzilut of the degree.

Alephis the Behinat “diagonal” in her, meaning the connection is not fixed in her, but turns this and that way. This is because she is a branch off the Upper connection in the Nikvey Eynaim de Rosh ha Aleph, and the branch is not as strong as the Shoresh, making such a separation in her possible.

The second: there is a concealment force in her, over the lower Hey in the Nikvey Eynaim de Rosh ha Aleph, so that it does manifest its force during the descent of the lower Hey to her place.

(Histaklut Pnimit items 15, 34)

82. Why does the Difference between HaVaYaH de AB and HaVaYaH de SAG depends entirely on the filling of Aleph in the Vav?

See answer No. 1 here.

83. Is the connection of the two Heyin permanent?

The connection of the two Heyin is permanent, but the difference in them is only regarding the concealment and the revelation, where at one time the lower Hey is disclosed, and another time the lower Hey is concealed, not manifesting its power.

(Ohr Pnimi item 6)

84. In which Behina of SAG was the Zivug for the Nekudim?

The Masach that was purified from the Guf de SAG consists of two Behinot Reshimot: Reshimot de Taamim and Reshimot de Nekudot. For the purpose of Nekudim there was a Zivug on the Behinot Nekudot incorporated in the Masach, which are the Behinot lower nine de SAG (see answer No. 66).

(Ohr Pnimi item 6)

85. What is the primordial Nekeva of the Olamot?

Malchut de YESHSUT that the Eser Sefirot de Nekudim emanated from is the primordial female to the Olamot.

(Ohr Pnimi item 6)

86. Where do BYA stand?

From the place of the new point of Tzimtzum in Bina de Eser Sefirot de NHY, being the place of Tabur de Nekudim, down to the place of the point of Tzimtzum Aleph. This is the Malchut of the Eser Sefirot de NHY de AK, the place of the separated BYA. It is so because Bina is the place for Olam Beria, the ZA for Olam Yetzira and Malchut for Olam Assiya.

(Ohr Pnimi item 7)

87. How many fissures were caused by Zivug of AB and SAG?

Two fissures:

• The first whereby the Zivug of AB and SAG a new Ohr descended and fissured the Parsa, meaning lowered the lower Hey from there and the Gevul was canceled.

• The second split the walls of the Kelim de AK through the Peh de Yesod and that new Ohr came to the Eser Sefirot de Nekudim as well.

(Ohr Pnimi item 16)

88. What is the Shoresh for ABYA?

The Shoresh for the four Olamot ABYA is Olam ha Nekudim. However, prior to that, there is no Shoresh to the Olamot there since there hasn’t been the association of Midat ha Rachamim with Din there.

(Beginning of Histaklut Pnimit)

89. Where is the beginning of the association of Midat ha Rachamim with Din?

In Olam ha Nekudim.

(Beginning of Histaklut Pnimit)

90. Where is the Sium Raglin de AK ha Pnimi?

At Nekuda de Olam ha Zeh.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 1)

91. Which is the fundamental action of all the innovations made in Nekudim?

The Hitpashtut of Nekudot de SAG into the inner MA and BON de AK where they connected with the lower Hey. This is the fundamental action for all the innovations made in Olam ha Nekudim.

(Ohr Pnimi item 5)

92. What is the association of Midat ha Rachamim with Din?

The connection of the two Heyin, the First Hey and the lower Hey. This is called “the association of Midat ha Rachamim with Din”, because Bina is Rachamim and Malchut is Din.

(Ohr Pnimi item 6)

93. What is the reason for the association of Midat ha Rachamim with Din?

The Hitpashtut of the lower nine de SAG inside the Inner MA and BON de AK caused the connection of the two Heyin together, which is the association of Midat ha Rachamim with Din.

(Ohr Pnimi item 6)

94. What is the name Mayin Nukvin

After the two Heyin were connected in that Masach, it was called Mayin Nukvin. It is named after the Nukvin (females) connected in it, namely Bina and Malchut.

(Ohr Pnimi item 6)

95. Why is Bina called Beria?

Since the ascent of the lower Hey to Nikvey Eynaim onward, when Bina departed from the degree, Bina acquired the name Beria, from the word Batei Barai (outskirts).

(Histaklut Pnimit item 26)

96. What is the difference between Tzimtzum Aleph and Tzimtzum Bet?

Tzimtzum Aleph was only on Behina Dalet, and Tzimtzum Bet was on Behina Bet too. Also, Tzimtzum Aleph was absolute, while in Tzimtzum Bet there is the Tikun of the Parsa, which sometimes returns Behina Bet to Atzilut.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 27)

97. In which Partzuf is there Katnut and Gadlut?

Only in Partzuf BON is there Gadlut and Katnut. The Katnut is when the lower Hey is in the Eynaim, and the Gadlut is when the lower Hey descends to her place. However, that matter cannot be seen in the three Partzufim Galgalta, AB and SAG, where the lower Hey is not involved.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 28)

98. When was Zivug de AB and SAG made?

After the Ohr that came out of Nikvey Eynaim expanded to its place and the Atzilut was diminished into merely Keter and Hochma, the Nekudot de SAG remained above Tabur and couldn’t come down below Tabur. This whole diminution caused Behinat MAN, and awakening of the Zivug of AB and SAG, whose Ohr returned and lowered the lower Hey to her place, splitting the Parsa, and Ohr SAG expanded below Tabur once more.

(Ohr Pnimi item 14, and Histaklut Pnimit item 17)

99. Why is the new MA the Taamim of Nekudim?

Because those Taamim, meaning the Gadlut that came out on Olam ha Nekudim was not kept there. Only afterwards the new MA came and corrected them, and then they existed. That is the reason the Taamim are named after the new MA.

(Ohr Pnimi item1)

100. Why is Yesod de Elyon, Daat to the Tachton?

The place of the Masach and the Zivug is called Yesod. Hence, the Behinat lower Hey in the Nikvey Eynaim de Keter de Nekudim is called Yesod of the Keter.

When Yesod de Keter is above HB, their YHV became Behinat HGT. However, when Yesod de Keter, which is the lower Hey, extend below YHV, as Kamatz, then HB return to the Rosh, and YHV that were HGT now become HBD.

It turns out that through Yesod de Keter, Tifferet, which is Vav, becomes Behinat Daat. Thus, Yesod de Elyon becomes Daat in the Tachton because Tifferet is turned into Daat through Yesod de Keter which extends to the place of the Vav de HB, which is Tifferet.

(Ohr Pnimi item 30)

101. Why does the lower Hey descend from the Eynaim through Zivug AB SAG?

Because AB never connected with the lower Hey. Hence, when Mochin de AB are poured to SAG, they lower the lower Hey from the Eynaim of SAG to the Peh, as the lower Hey is not found in the Eynaim de AB.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 17)

102. What are the two operations that emerge by Zivug de AB and SAG?

1. Lowering the lower Hey from the Keter of the Nekudim to her place to Peh de Nekudim, and returning the YHV to Behinat HBD de Rosh.

2. A new Ohr that extends and fissures the Parsa, expanding to the Inner NHY de AK and returning Bina and ZON to Atzilut.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 18)

103. Through what were the correction of Tikun Kavim and ten Kelim in ZAT too?

Through Ibur and Yenika (to be explained in the next part).

(Ohr Pnimi item 40)

104. What are the four steps of the lower Hey before it comes into the Otiot?

1. From Nikvey Eynaim de Rosh de SAG to Nikvey Eynaim de YESHSUT, where they permanently connect to Behinot Shoresh to MA and BON in their Katnut, which is their primary self and Atzmut.

2. From Nikvey Eynaim de YESHSUT to Nikvey Eynaim de Keter de Nekudim, where there is the Tikun of the Parsa for the Gadlut of MA and BON.

3. From Nikvey Eynaim de Keter to Peh de Nekudim, as Kamatz under the Otiot YHV. This is because then the HB return to Behinat Rosh and YHV become HBD. This is enough for the correction of the Rosh, but not yet for the ZAT.

4. Its coming from Yesod AK as Nekuda inside the Otiot, meaning Melafom, which is a Nekuda inside the Vav into the HB de Nekudim, by which the HB mate and beget the lower seven of Nekudim.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 29)

105. How many kinds of Orot operated in Nekudim?

Three Orot:

1. Ohr that came out through the Eynaim, from which comes the primary Atzmut of the Nekudim, though it is Behinat Katnut de Nekudim.

2. The Ohr that extends through the Zivug de AB SAG that fissured the Parsa and illuminated to the Nekudim through Yesod de AK. From here comes the Gadlut de Nekudim. It is considered a mere addition; it is not considered the Atzmut of the Ohr of the Nekudim.

3. That which extends by Histaklut Eynaim in AHP, which is merely for the purpose of the Kelim of the Nekudim.

(Items 17, 18, 19)

106. What is the difference between Daat Elyon and Daat Tachton?

The Behinat Vav de HB that became the Daat Elyon because the Kelim de HB are clean from the lower Hey. However, regarding the Melafom that came to them from Yesod de AK as a Nekuda inside the Vav, the Daat Tachton Nimshach from there, as it contains the entire lower Hey, being the Nekuda inside the Vav.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 12)

107. What is the difference between He’arat NHY de Keter and NHY de AK?

NHY de Keter return only the HB that are clean from lower Hey into Behinat Rosh. This does not help the lower seven mixed with the lower Hey whatsoever. However, NHY de AK illuminates the Behinat Nekuda inside the Otiot, which is the Hitkalelut of the lower Hey, and from there the lower seven de Nekudim extend.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 13)

108. Where does the Halbasha of YESHSUT begin?

It begins from Tabur de AK ha Pnimi because there is the place of the descent of the Masach mingled with the lower Hey, extending from below upward to the Chazeh.

(Ohr Pnimi item 14)

109. Why don’t the Nekudot clothe any of the SAG, from which they stem?

Since the Masach that purified and rose from the Guf de SAG consists of two kinds of Reshimot: Reshimot de Taamim, having no Behinat lower Hey since they did not descend below Tabur de AK, and Reshimot de Nekudot, mingled with the lower Hey because of their expansion below Tabur de AK through its Sium Raglin.

Hence, two kinds of Zivugim were made on the Masach. MA and BON Elyon came out of the Zivug on the Reshimot de Taamim, extending from Peh de Rosh SAG through Tabur, meaning in the place where Orot de Taamim de SAG stand. The Eser Sefirot de Nekudim that clothe from Tabur de AK down came out of the Zivug on the Reshimot of the Nekudot de SAG, meaning in the place where Nekudot de SAG stood before they purified. Thus, the Eser Sefirot de Nekudim clothe and fulfill the Kelim de Nekudot de SAG that were emptied of their Orot.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 24, and item 31)

110. Where does SAG clothe AB de AK?

Rosh de SAG clothes AB from its Peh down to the Chazeh. Thus, HGT de AB are Neshama and Mochin in Rosh SAG, and the Taamim de SAG clothe from Chazeh de AB through Sium Raglin of AB. The Nekudot de SAG extend below the Sium Raglin of AB, which is below Tabur de AK ha Pnimi through Sium Raglin de AK ha Pnimi.

(Ohr Pnimi item 1)

111. Why do Nekudim clothe NHY de AK?

See answer 109.

112. Why is the Holam on top of the Otiot?

The lower Hey in the Eynaim de Keter in the form of lower Hey in the Eynaim and YHV in the AHP. The lower Hey is there as Holam on top of Otiot YHV. This is because its He’arah does not expand into the HB, which are Behinot YHV because the Zivug was not made on this lower Hey, but only on the First Hey.

(Histaklut Pnimit items 9, 10)

113. Why is the Shuruk in the middle?

The Shuruk, called Melafom, is the Ohr of NHY de AK; it is completely Behinat lower Hey. There is a new Ohr inside it that came out through Zivug de AB and SAG, which fissured the Parsa. This Ohr is Behinat Vav, which is a son to the YH, being AB and SAG. It turns out that here the lower Hey is mixed together with the Vav, meaning they shine together.

(Item 31)

114. Why did Abba take the point of Shuruk?

First the Zivug was made as Histaklut Eynaim de AVI on the Behinat Nekuda. This Zivug is named after Abba. Afterwards the Masach purified and there was a Zivug on the Vav that Ima took.

(Item 31)

115. Why are Keter and Hochma once called Holam and Shuruk, and once Kamatz and Patach?

Holam is considered the beginning of the creation of Keter, which is the lower Hey in the Eynaim de Keter, above the Otiot (see answer 112). The Shuruk is the Ohr Yesod that AVI took from Yesod de AK for the purpose of their Zivug.

However, the Kamatz Patach are Behinot Gadlut de Keter and Hochma. This is because the descent of the lower Hey from Nikvey Eynaim de Keter under the HB de Nekudim, which returns them to Behinat Rosh, the Keter is called Kamatz here, being under Otiot YHV. Also, Hochma is called Patach here, because through its arriving at the Rosh, the Ohr Hochma opens, called “the opening of the Eynaim”, and that is why Hochma is called Patach.

(Item 31)

116. Why are Kamatz Patach from the Nekudot under the Otiot?

See answer 115.

117. Which Behina of Kamatz Patach did not break?

This refers to what they have from their beginning, not to what they received from Sium Raglin.

(Ohr Pnimi item 32)

118. Why are the seven Nekudot in the shape of Yodin?

Because the lower seven come out from Behinot Hitkalelut of the lower Hey, called Nekuda. Hence the seven Nekudot are in the shape of Yodin.

(Ohr Pnimi item 48)

119. What is the difference between the Nekuda of Holam and Kamatz, as they are both Keter?

Holam means that the Nekuda, which is lower Hey, is above the Otiot YHV. Then they are considered AHP that come out to Behinat Guf, meaning HGT.

The point of Kamatz means that the lower Hey descended from the Nikvey Eynaim and came to her place under the Otiot YHV. At that time the YHV return to the Rosh and become HBD.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 11)

120. What is the main cause for the emergence of Partzuf MA and BON?

The ascent of the lower Hey to the Eynaim, meaning the connection of the two Heyin together is the primary cause for the elicitation of Partzuf MA and BON.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 6)

121. What is the primary cause of a birth of a Partzuf?

The Bitush de Ohr Makif in Ohr Pnimi.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 1)

122. How does Ohr Makif appear in the birth of Partzufim?

All the Partzufim and the Neshamot that emanate and come in the Olamot, all are parts of the Orot Makifim. When all of them manifest it will be Gmar Tikun.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 1)

123. What mainly operates to emanate a second Partzuf?

The Masach de Tabur which purifies until it ascends to Hitkalelut of the Zivug in the Rosh. This is the primary operator in the creation of a second Partzuf.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 3)

124. How many Nekudot of Sium from Tabur to Sium Raglin?

There are three points of Sium: the point of Tabur ends the KHB; the point of Yesod ends on ZA; the points of Sium Raglin are the force of Sium of Malchut.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 4)

125. How are there Eser Sefirot from Tabur down, which is only Malchut?

Since they are ten forces of Sium on the ten Sefirot.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 1)

126. How are there TNHYM below Tabur?

The three Sefirot Hod, Yesod and Malchut, are all merely the Hitpashtut of Malchut. Netzah and Hod are considered one Sefira. Hence, the four Sefirot NHYM are all the Hitpashtut of Malchut.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 5)

127. Why are MA and BON below Tabur?

Since they consist of the lower Hey, and the place of the lower Hey is below Tabur.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 1)

128. Why must MA be associated with the lower Hey?

Since Komat ZA, which is MA and BON, comes out on Masach de Behina Aleph, and it is known that the Aviut of Behina Aleph is frail, and the Ohr Zivug that comes out on it has no Hitpashtut below.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 1)

129. Why isn’t there lower Hey in HB de Nekudim?

Since they extend from Behinat Histaklut Eynaim in AHP, which are YHV without the lower Hey, and the lower Hey remains concealed in the Eynaim.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 9)

130. What is the reason that GAR de ZA de Atzilut remain in Ima?

As the Partzuf Elyon de MA and BON remains adhesive with the SAG and is not considered Nekudim, so it has a Partzuf Elyon to the ZA that remains attached to Ima, not regarded as ZA.

(Histaklut Pnimit item 26)

131. What are the Achoraim de AVI that were cancelled?

The Orot that came during the Gadlut as additions and are not from their primary essence, are called Achoraim.

(Ohr Pnimi item 32)

132. Why are the lower seven in one Kav?

Because the matter of the Tikun of the three Kavim emerged by the association of the lower Hey with the First Hey. The beginning of this Tikun occurred in the Ohr that came out of the Nikvey Eynaim, and this Ohr did not reach the lower seven de Nekudim, only the GAR. Hence the lower seven remained without Tikun Kavim, but in a single Kav, like the previous Partzufim.

(Ohr Pnimi item 38)

133. Where were ZON made?

The lower seven de Nekudim came out by the Zivug de HB on the He’arat Melafom that they received from Yesod de AK, which are ZON.

134. Where were the Kelim de Nekudim made?

The Kelim of every Partzuf are made of the Kelim of the Partzuf Elyon after the Histalkut of their Orot from them. Similarly, the Kelim de Nekudim were made of the Kelim of the lower nine de SAG that the Ohr departed from during the Tzimtzum NHY.

(Ohr Pnimi item 38)

135. What does it mean that the Kelim were small?

The two Kelim Elyonim are missing in the Kelim de Guf de Nekudim, being Keter and Hochma, and they only have Behinat ZAT. However, the Ohr that reached them had Eser complete Sefirot. Hence, the Kelim were found to be small and thus broke.

(Ohr Pnimi item 39)

136. What is the need for Dinim and Klipot?

Since the thought of creation is to delight His creatures, and this thought is not kept except through a conduct of one opposite the other.

(Ohr Pnimi item 41)

137. What does it mean that the lower Seven are Din and the Ohr that comes to them is Rachamim?

Because the Kelim were from Behinat ZAT, which are Din, and the Orot were of GAR, which are Rachamim.

(Ohr Pnimi item 40)

(Histaklut Pnimit items 33, 34)

164. How are the actions connected to one another through cause and consequence from Tzimtzum Aleph to the end of Olam ha Nekudim in Katnut?

Because of the yearning for greater Dvekut, meaning for Hishtavut Tzura with the Ohr Elyon, Malchut de Ein Sof restricted the Behinat Gadlut of the will to receive. In other words, she did not want to receive in Behina Dalet. Since Behina Dalet was the entire vessel of reception for the Ohr Elyon, the Ohr departed from all four Behinot, and there became a vacant place for the Olamot.

From the Histalkut Ohr from all four Behinot eventuates the Tikun Masach on Behina Dalet to extend the Ohr on the first three Behinot, without extending to Behina Dalet.

From the Masach erected on Behina Dalet comes the Zivug de Hakaa with the Ohr Elyon returning all the parts of the Ohr fitting to come to Behina Dalet and to its Achoraim, called Ohr Hozer.

Two actions stem from the Zivug de Hakaa and the Ohr Hozer that ascended:

1. The potential and actual reception of the Ohr Elyon, called Rosh and Guf, through Tabur.

2. The force of rejection on the Eser Sefirot de Ohr Elyon called Masach de Tabur, from which expand the ten forces de Sium, called Eser Sefirot de Sof, or Eser Sefirot NHY.

2. The Hitkalelut of the Masach in the Reshimot de Guf during its ascent.

Two actions stem from the concealment of the Reshima de Hamshacha from the last Behina:

1. The concealment of the Ohr Keter and the diminution of the Koma to Hochma.

2. The two Upper Reshimot became Zachar and Nekeva.

Three actions stem from the two Reshimot Zachar and Nekeva:

1. The ascent of Malchut de Rosh to the Hotem, which is Behina Gimel de Rosh.

2. The Zivug that was made there on Behina Dalet de Behinat Hitlabshut, meaning on the Behinat Zachar, and the Komat Keter that extends there. It is not in Behinat Hitpashtut to Kelim.

3. The second Zivug that was made there on Behina Gimel, meaning on the Behinat Nekeva, extending Komat Hochma there, from which there is Hitpashtut for the Kelim.

The renewal of the Aviut in the Masach and the Reshimot stems from the two Zivugim of ZON that were made in their Hitkalelut in the Rosh de Galgalta, until they became fitting for Zivug de Hakaa with the Ohr Elyon. The second is the manifestation of the Aviut de Guf in the Masach and the Reshimot.

The second is the Zivug that was made there on Behina Bet de Hitlabshut, being the Behinat Zachar, extending Komat Bina from which there is no Hitpashtut for Kelim. Hence, the Zivug is made both on the Reshimot de Taamim and the Reshimot de Nekudot.

The third is the second Zivug that created a Behinat Nekeva there, being on Behina Aleph, over which extends Komat ZA. There is Hitpashtut for Kelim from it, and that Zivug too was made both on the Reshimot de Taamim and the Reshimot de Nekudot.

Three actions stem from the Hitkalelut of the Reshimot in the Zivugim of the Rosh in the Nikvey Eynaim:

1. The renewal of the Aviut in the Masach and the Reshimot that rose from the Guf de SAG and became suitable for Zivug de Hakaa.

2. The elicitation of the Dikna in the form of lower Hey in the Eynaim and YHV in the AHP.

3. The manifestation of the Aviut de Guf in the Masach and the Reshimot.

Three Roshim extend from the descent of the Masach to its corresponding Behina in the Hitzoniut of the Guf, as it comes to three places in the Guf: the Chazeh, the Tabur, and the Sium de Guf, meaning Sium Tifferet de AK.

It elicits the Eser Sefirot de Rosh of the MA and BON Elyon from Chazeh to SAG, and his Guf ends above Tabur de AK ha Pnimi, and from Tabur to Chazeh de SAG, Eser Sefirot de Rosh of YESHSUT, being Rosh ha Aleph de Nekudim. It elicits a second Rosh from the Sium of the Guf up to Tabur, called GAR de Nekudim, and from the Sium de Guf downward emerged the Guf de Nekudim, which is ZAT de Nekudim.

All of them contain Zachar and Nekeva: the Komat Zachar is up to Bina, and the Komat Nekeva is up to ZA.
