וכמשל חכם גדול ביותר, שיודע העומק של השכל ממקור הראשון, יודע יותר איך לברר וללבן להוציא הטעות כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is analogous to a very wise person. The more he knows the [subject] to the depth of the matter, at its first source, the more he knows how to clarify and refine it, to remove the errors etc.

וכן חכמתו עמדה לו להתפרנס באומנות או בריוח עבודה כו', שנקרא תורתו אומנתו כו'

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

והיינו ענין האיש דרכו לכבוש כו', שהוא בחינת שם מ''ה דחכמה שמברר לב''ן כו' וזה שכתוב כי שרית עם אלהי״ם כו' ודי למבין:

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This then, is the [explanation of] the matter of “It is the nature of man to conquer etc.,” which is the aspect of the name of *Ma”H*-מ"ה-45 [יו״ד ה״א וא״ו ה״א] of *Chochmah* (חכ**מה)** which refines [the name of] *Ba”N*-ב"ן-52 [יו״ד ה״ה ו״ו ה״ה] etc., and this is the meaning of “You have ruled over *Elohi”m-*אלהי״ם.” This will suffice those of understanding.
