**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Rather, according to what was stated above, that the source of the Vessels (*Keilim*) preceded the source of the Lights (*Orot*), therefore the Vessels have their own existence, independent [of the lights]. Regarding this it states, “He and His organs are one.”

(Accordingly, a person who directs his intentions to the name *HaShem*-יהו״ה*,* such as during the eighteen benedictions of the *Amidah* prayer, should direct his intention to the source of the vessel, which is the main aspect of The Name, since “He and His organs are one.”

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is the meaning of [the verse],³ “You conceal – *Atah Seter* (אתה סתר).” [The word *Seter* – Conceal (סתר)] is a backwards spelling of [the acronym] *Rosh –* Beginning (**ר**אש), *Toch* – Middle (**ת**וך), and *Sof –* End (**ס**וף),⁴ Shaar 12*,* Ch. 4. because the main restriction and concealment [of the Light] is in the externality of the vessels.

שהוא ענין בשר וגידין ועצמות שבכל אבר כמו שכתוב במקום אחר באריכות)

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
As is explained elsewhere at length, these are [also represented by] the matter of the Flesh (*Basar*), Veins (*Geedin*) and Bones (*Atzamot*) of every limb.)

וה' חסדים המגדילים כו' היינו בחינת כללות המשכת גלוי אור אלה״י שעל ידי כל מצוה

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Now, the Five Kindnesses that bring about growth (*Heh Chassadim HaMagdeelim*) are the aspect of the general drawing down and revelation of the Godly Light through [the fulfillment of] each [particular] commandment.⁷, Ch. 6) it states that the five kindnesses (*Heh Chassadim*) is the aspect of the influence of the last *Heh-*ה of the name *Sa”G-*ס״ג-63 of *Binah,* which is the aspect of *Tvunah*, which was previously explained.

על ידי המשכת הקו שממשיך למקור כל החסדים, דאיהו שקיו דאילנא כו', וכמאמר אנת ממלא כל שמהן כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is by way of the drawing down of the *Kav* – Line, which draws from the Source of all kindnesses, for “He waters the tree,” similar to the statement, “You fill all the names” etc.

(ולפי זה מה שכתוב אשתאר כגופא כו', משום דגם בחינת גופא בג' כלים הנזכר לעיל, צריך להארת אור אין סוף שבקו, שממלא כל שמהן

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(Now, according to this, the statement, “They would remain as a body [without a soul” becomes understood]. This is because even the aspect of the “Body-*Goofa*,” with the aforementioned three vessels, requires the radiance of the Limitless Light of the Unlimited One, *HaShem*-יהו״ה, blessed is He, within the *Kav*, which “fills all the names.”

לפי שיש שרש להתהוות הכלים בפני עצמן כנזכר לעיל.

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is because there is an independent source for the existence of the Vessels (*Keilim*), as previously explained.

אך אם כן, למה תלה הדבר במה שאינו עיקר הדבר, שהוא מה שכתוב בלא נשמתא?

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
However, if this is the case, then why is this statement made dependent upon something which [at first glance] is not the essence of the matter, which is the statement “they will remain like a body without a soul.”

אך להיות שעיקר הכלים הן לנגד ט׳ ספירות דנר''נ, ובסיבת הגדלת האור יבא הגדלת הכלי, בשביל הבאת אור השפע למטה, ואי אנת תסתלק כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
However, since the essential matter of the vessels is that they correspond to the nine *Sefirot* of the *Nefesh, Ruach* and *Neshamah*, and it is because of the increase of the light that there is growth in the vessels, in order for the light of the influence to be brought down, [therefore,] “If You would withdraw [from them, they would remain as a body without a soul”].

ישאר הכלי כגוף בלא נשמה, בלא התפשטות כלל ודי למבין):

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
[In other words], the vessel would remain like a body without a soul; that is, it could not spread forth, whatsoever. This will suffice for those of understanding.)
