## The Gate of Unity Chapter 33

###### The Gate of Unity 33:1
[The Gate of Unity 33:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:1)

ובכל זה יובן ענין ההתבוננות אחת מן רבוי כל הפרטים אל כלל א' הכוללם יחד

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
From all the above we understand the matter of a single *Hitbonenut*-contemplation of the many particulars that come together as one general [overarching principle] which includes them all.


###### The Gate of Unity 33:2
[The Gate of Unity 33:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:2)

והוא כמו כל אשר חפץ יהו״ה עשה בשמים ובארץ כו', שחפץ יהו״ה זה הרי שרשו במקור הראשון (שנקרא יחיד כו')

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is similar to [the matter of] “Whatever *HaShem-*יהו״ה desires He has done in the heavens and the earth etc.”¹ The root of this “desire of *HaShem-*יהו״ה” is rooted in the first source (which is called *Yachid* – Singular etc).

###### The Gate of Unity 33:3
[The Gate of Unity 33:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:3)

הוא בחינת חפץ חסד ההיולי העצמי שבעצמות אור אין סוף הפשוט בתכלית, כטבע הטוב והחסד העצמי הנטוע בעצם הנפש (כמו שכתוב באות יו''ד)

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is the aspect of the essential *Heyulie* desire for kindness in the Essential Self of the limitless light of the Unlimited One, *HaShem*-יהו״ה Himself, blessed is He, who is [an] absolutely simple [singularity]. This [desire for kindness] is similar to the essentially good and kind nature embedded in the essence of the human soul (as explained above in chapter ten).


###### The Gate of Unity 33:4
[The Gate of Unity 33:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:4)

וכאשר עלה רצון וחפץ יהו״ה להטיב בדרך פרט מכללות אור ההיולי הזה, ירד ברבוי השתלשלות בעצמותו עדיין בבחינת אין סוף, עד שבא זה הרצון לבחינת נצח והוד בחיצוניות כלי הלב

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Once it arose in *HaShem*’s-יהו״ה will and desire to bestow goodness in a particular way from this general *heyulie* light, [this desire] descended with a great chaining down. [Nonetheless], all [this was] still within Himself [and was still] in the aspect of Limitlessness (*Ein Sof*), until this desire reached the aspects of *Netzach* and *Hod* of the externality of the vessel of the “Heart.”


###### The Gate of Unity 33:5
[The Gate of Unity 33:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:5)

דהיינו חיצוניות מדות שבמלכות דאין סוף, הגם ששם למעלה מעלה מבחינת הגבלת אורות בכלים כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
In other words, [it reached] the external emotions (*Midot*) of *Malchut* of the Unlimited One (*Ein Sof*), even though, as it is there, [in *Malchut* of *Ein Sof*] it completely transcends the aspect of limitations of lights within vessels.


###### The Gate of Unity 33:6
[The Gate of Unity 33:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:6)

אלא הכל בבחינת אין סוף ממש כששיער בעצמו כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Rather, it all is literally in the aspect of the Unlimited One (*Ein Sof*), as “He estimated it within **Himself**.”² 16a

###### The Gate of Unity 33:7
[The Gate of Unity 33:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:7)

ואחר כך נתצמצם וירד על ידי בחינת קו בעשר ספירות דעגולים כו', עד בחינת כתר דאדם קדמון, שהוא מקור הרצון הנעלם שבא לידי גלוי רצון לרצון בכתר דעתיק יומין כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Afterwards, there was a *Tzimtzum* [withdrawal] and it descended by means of the aspect of the Line (*Kav*) into the ten *sefirot* of Circles (*Igullim*) etc., until the aspect of *Keter* of *Adam Kadmon*. [Now, *Keter* of *Adam Kadmon*] is the source of the concealed desire (*Ratzon HaNe’elam)* which becomes revealed as the “desire for the desire” within *Keter* of *Atik Yomin* etc.


###### The Gate of Unity 33:8
[The Gate of Unity 33:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:8)

עד בחינת רצון ותענוג שבאבא ואמא שמתצמצמים ברצון ושכל והשגה, ג׳ ראשין דחכמה ובינה כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
[This desire then continued to descend] until the aspects of the desire and pleasure within *Abba* and *Imma*, and became limited within the [revealed] desire, intellect, and comprehension, which are the three upper *sefirot* of *Chochmah* and *Binah* etc.


###### The Gate of Unity 33:9

עד בחינת קטנות מוחין דנה''י דאבא ואמא בזעיר אנפין כנזכר לעיל

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
[Then it continued] until the aspect of the “immature brains – *Katnoot HaMochin*” of *NeHi”Y* of *Abba* and *Imma* [as they vest] within *Zeir Anpin*, as explained before.

[The Gate of Unity 33:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:11)

ומשם מתצמצם עוד בג' מדריגות דחב''ד חג''ת דזעיר אנפין כו', עד בחינת חיצוניות הכלים דנצח והוד שבבחינת הבל החזה כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
From there it underwent further restraint (*Tzimtzum*) on the three levels of *ChaBa”D* and *ChaGa”T* of *Zeir Anpin* etc., until the aspect of the externality of the vessels of *Netzach* and *Hod* [of *Zeir Anpin*], which is the aspect of the “Breath of the Chest.”


###### The Gate of Unity 33:12
[The Gate of Unity 33:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:12)

שם מסתיים אור הרצון הפשוט שהיה כלול בהעלם עצמות חפץ חסד ההיולי כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
There, [the descent of] the light of the simple desire, which was included in the concealed Essence of the *Heyulie* desire for kindness, concludes.


###### The Gate of Unity 33:13
[The Gate of Unity 33:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:13)

והרי מכל רבוי פרטי ההשתלשלות הזאת, נעשה ונמשך בבת אחת מרצון שעלה בהעלם העצמות עד שבא במורגש בהבל הלב, משום דאיהו וחיוהי וגרמוהי חד

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Moreover, this entire chaining down (*Hishtalshelut*), from the [essential] desire that arose hidden in the Essential Self of the Singular Preexistent Intrinsic and Unlimited Being of *HaShem*-יהו״ה, blessed is He, until it came to be felt in the breath of the heart, happened and was drawn down instantaneously, since “He and His life force and organs are one.”


###### The Gate of Unity 33:14
[The Gate of Unity 33:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:14)

פירוש איהו, בחינת עצמות אור אין סוף ממש, וחיוהי, בחינת עשר ספירות דהעלם וגלוי, כשלהבת כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This means that, “He” literally refers to the aspect of the Essential Self of the limitless light of the Unlimited One, *HaShem*-יהו״ה Himself, blessed is He, whereas “His life force” refers to [both] the concealed and revealed aspects of the ten *Sefirot*, [which are] “like a flame [that is bound to the coal] etc.”³

###### The Gate of Unity 33:18
[The Gate of Unity 33:18](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:18)

כי גם שבחינת הכלים, המגבילים למדות חיצוניות דלב זעיר אנפין, הן בתכלית הקטנות לגבי ערך רוממות עצמות המדות שבבחינת מלכות דאין סוף, מכל מקום נחשב בחינת סוף לראש, וכמו שכתוב קורא הדורות מראש כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is because although the aspect of the vessels, which limit the external emotions of the heart of *Zeir Anpin*, are [in the aspect of] ultimate “smallness” compared to the exaltedness of the essential emotions of the aspect of *Malchut* of the Unlimited One – *Ein Sof*, they nevertheless are considered to be the aspect of the end of the beginning, as scripture states, “He calls out the generations from the beginning etc.”⁴

footnotes:
⁴ Isaiah 41:4


###### The Gate of Unity 33:19
[The Gate of Unity 33:19](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:19)

וסיומן בסוף הוא בבחינת קטנות המדות דזעיר אנפין

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Their final conclusion is the aspect of the “immature” [or “tiny”] emotions of *Zeir Anpin*.


###### The Gate of Unity 33:20
[The Gate of Unity 33:20](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:20)

ולכך נקרא זעיר אנפין קטנות הפנים, כאנפי זוטרי דתינוק קטן לגבי בחינת אנפי רברבי, זקן שקנה חכמה כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Because of this, *Zeir Anpin* is called “The Small Face,”⁵” is “The Small Face.” [since] it is similar to the small face of a little child compared to the “Large Face”⁶ of “an elder who has acquired wisdom.”⁷

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

[The Gate of Unity 33:23](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:23)

כי בקטן מדותיו גם כן על פי שכל ורצון הנעלם כו', רק שבא בתכלית הקטנות מאד

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is because the emotions of a child are also according to intellect and concealed desire etc., except that it comes [revealed] with total immaturity.

גדלות הפנים והמוחין דזקן שקנה חכמה ממקור החכמה הנעלמה, שלמעלה מקרומא כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
[This is to say that *Arich Anpin* represents] the mature countenance and brains of “an elder who has acquired wisdom” from the source of the concealed wisdom [itself], which is higher than the “[Airy] Membrane (*Krooma D’Avira*).”

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
In each of these there are ten *Sefirot* in a concealed and revealed [manner], as scripture states,⁸ [“For My glory, I have created, formed, and even actualized”]. “For My glory” refers to *Malchut* of the Unlimited One (*Ein Sof*), “I have created” refers to *Adam Kadmon*, “formed” refers to *Atik Yomin* and *Arich Anpin*, and “actualized” refers to the aspect of *Zeir Anpin,* about whom it states,⁹ “Let us make man in our image [and in our likeness].”)

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

[The Gate of Unity 33:34](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/33:34)

וכך על דרך משל המדות דקטנות דתינוק לגבי מדות דזקן בן ע' כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is similarly the case in regard to the aspect of the emotions of the “Man” of [the world of] *Atzilut*. Even though they become [revealed] in a most diminished fashion (*Tzimtzum*) in comparison to the aspect of the emotions of *Adam Kadmon* and *Arich Anpin*, nonetheless, it all is one, except that it comes from the aspect of a most incredible length to a most incredible brevity.

(ודרך פרט יותר, הרי כל אשר חפץ יהו״ה במדות דאצילות, עשה בשמים וארץ דבי''ע, עד בחינת מזלות דגלגלים הגשמיים, שרש השפעת דומם צומח חי ומדבר הגשמיים כמו שיתבאר בעזרת השם) :

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(More particularly, “Whatever *HaShem-*יהו״ה desires” in the emotions of [the world of] *Atzilut*, “He has done in the heavens and the earth” of [the worlds] *Briyah, Yetzirah* and *Asiyah*, [all the way] to the aspect of the physical constellations and planets, which are the root of influence for the [four categories of] inanimate (*Domem*), vegetative (*Tzome’ach*), animal (*Chai*), and speaker (*Medaber*) within the physical [world], [all of] which will be explained with the help of *HaShem*-יהו״ה.)
