פ. ואחר שקיבל בחינת העיבור מחדש, חזר ויצא מן הראש דעליון, והלביש את הגוף דעליון. ועל ידי הלבשה זו ינק שוב את האורות מעליון. ואורות היניקה האלו הורידו את העובי דשורש לבחינת עובי דבחינה א', דהיינו שהורידו המלכות מן המצח, אל מקום נקבי העינים. ואז יצאה על המסך קומת בחינה א' בשלמות, שזה נבחן להתפשטות החג"ת מתוך הנה"י (כנזכר לעיל אות ע"ו). ונמצא שהשיג בחינת **יניקה** חדשה, שהוא סוד קומת הרוח.

**The Sefaria Sulam, 2023:**
80. Then, **after** the lower *partzuf* **receives a renewed aspect of gestation, it returns and emerges from the** **head** **of the upper** *partzuf* **and** **enclothes** **the** **body** **of the upper** *partzuf***. By means of this** **enclothing****,** the lower *partzuf* **again draws the lights from the upper** *partzuf***.**²⁴⁸ activates illumination from the upper one, as in the first round of gestation, infancy and brains described in the preceding sections. **These lights** of **this drawing** of light **bring down the** **opacity** **of the root to the** **opacity** **of the first** **level****.**²⁴⁹ leads to the descent of the partition from the “forehead” of the head of the upper *partzuf* down to the “aperture of the eyes” of the head of the upper *partzuf*. This means the partition transitions from having a level of opacity of the root (associated with the forehead, the *Keter*) to opacity of the first level (associated with the aperture of the eyes, the *Ḥokhma*). **That is, it brings down the** ***Malkhut***²⁵⁰ has a partition resting on it. Thus, a “descent of the partition“ means that the level of *Malkhut* and its partition have descended. **from the forehead to the** apertures of the eyes**, and then the complete** **height** **of the first** **level** **emerges upon the** **partition****,**²⁵¹, just like in the first round of gestation and infancy. This height of *ruaḥ* is the vessels and light of the gestated level of *Ḥesed*, *Gevura* and *Tiferet* that have now emerged in the phase of infancy. **which is considered the spreading out of** ***Ḥesed*****,** ***Gevura*** and ***Tiferet*** **from within** ***Netzaḥ*****,** ***Hod*** and ***Yesod*** **(as stated in section 76, above).** The lower *partzuf* **thus attains a new aspect of infancy, which is the mystical meaning of the** **height** **of** ***ruaḥ*****.**

²⁴⁸ The lower partzuf
²⁴⁹ As in the previous round of gestation, infancy and brains, the drawing of the lights of the upper partzuf
²⁵⁰ Malkhut
²⁵¹ Once the partition possesses opacity of the first level, it engages in a fusion through collision that generates a height of ruaḥ
