**תקון קוין בשבע תחתונות ובישסו"ת**
כז. ולפיכך, תקון הראשון שצריכים לשבע ספירות תחתונות, הוא להוריד תחילה הדינין שבמלכות שנתערבה בספירות, דהיינו פשוט להמשיך הארה מחכמה [ו]בינה דא"ק, המורידה את המלכות מן הבינה, ומחזירה למקומה (כנזכר לעיל אות י"ח), שאז חוזרים שלשה הכלים בינה ותפארת ומלכות אל הספירה, ונעשים קו שמאל, וכתר וחכמה שנשארו נעשו לקו ימין. וכיון שהמדרגה נשלמה בחמשה כלים כח"ב תו"מ, חוזרים לה כל חמש אורות נרנח"י (כמו שנתבאר שם), וחזר אור החכמה אל המדרגה. ואז יכול הקו האמצעי ליחד שני הקוין זה בזה, ולהשלים המדרגה בכל תקוניה.

**The Sefaria Sulam, 2023:**
**The Rectification of Lines in the Seven Lower Ones and in** ***Yisrael Sabba*****and *Tevuna*** 
27. **Therefore, the first rectification required for the seven lower** ***sefirot*** **is to initially bring down the judgments in the** ***Malkhut*** **that mingled with the** ***sefirot*****, that is, simply to extend illumination from** ***Ḥokhma*** and ***Bina*** **of** ***Adam Kadmon*****, which brings down the** ***Malkhut*** **from** ***Bina*** **and returns it to its place (as stated in section 18 above).**⁴² for the light of *Ḥokhma* triggers the process of rectification that ultimately leads to their receiving the illumination of *Ḥokhma*. The yearning from below activates the levels of *Ḥokhma* and *Bina* of *Adam Kadmon*, which shine their light down into the levels that are constricted by the second constriction. This illumination, in a series of stages described further in later sections, removes *Malkhut* from *Bina* and returns it to its place. This allows the *sefirot* that were dislocated to the lower levels to return to their original place. Because of their relationship with that lower level, however, they retain a certain distance from their original level, represented by them operating now as the “left side” of the level. **Then the three vessels of** ***Bina*****,** ***Tiferet*****, and** ***Malkhut*** **return to the** ***sefira*** **and become the left line, while** ***Keter*** **and** ***Ḥokhma*****, which remained** there**, become the right line. Since the** **level** **has been made whole** by having **the five vessels,** ***Keter*****,** ***Ḥokhma*****,** ***Bina*****,** ***Tiferet*****, and** ***Malkhut*****, all five lights,** ***nefesh*****,** ***ruaḥ*****,** ***neshama*****,** ***ḥaya*****, and** ***yeḥida*****, return to it (as explained there), and the light of** ***Ḥokhma*** **returns to the** **level****. The middle line can then unite the two lines with each other and complete the** **level** **with all its rectifications.**
