דהנה ידוע בענין הנסירה שד"ו פרצופין היו כו', דהיינו שבחינת המלכות היתה כלולה בבחינת אחוריים דזעיר אנפין, כמו שכתוב עצם מעצמי כו', כי מאיש לוקחה זאת כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Similarly, the aspect of the revelation of the essential qualities of the heart, when they come forth in an aspect of revelation and tangibility in the speech of the five organs of the mouth, they become an aspect of an independent separate entity which is called *Yesh D'Yesh*-Something of something, as explained elsewhere at length.

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Now at first [*Malchut*] was like a point under *Yesod* of *Zeir Anpin* etc., as stated,²² “And she fell before his feet.” This is as stated in Zohar²³ about the verse,²⁴ “That do his word” that it made itself small like a point etc., until it was a *Heh-*ה as before.

וזהו עיקר ענין בנין המלכות, שהוא למעלה מבנין המלכות בפרצוף בבי"ע, שנסתר כל פרצופה שבבחינת אצילות, עד בחינת מלכות דמלכות שבוקע המסך ונעשית בבחינת פרצוף בבריאה, כמו שיתבאר כו' ודי למבין.

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This then, is the primary aspect of the construction of *Malchut* as it still transcends the construction of *Malchut* as a stature within *Briyah, Yetzirah* and *Asiyah*, wherein the entirety of its stature, which is in the aspect of *Atzilut*, is concealed and only the aspect of *Malchut* of *Malchut* penetrates the screen and becomes a stature in *Briyah*, as will be explained etc. This will suffice for the understanding.

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
The explanation of the matter is that the aspect of speech of thought, discussed previously, which is the enlarged *Dalet*-ד, becomes the thought of the supernal speech of *Zeir Anpin* in an aspect of ten *Sefirot* with lights and vessels, and is from the *Malchut* of the nine *Sefirot* of *Zeir Anpin*, as mentioned above.

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This then, is the meaning of [*Echad*-אחד, that is] *E”ch*-א”ח *Dalet*-ד,²⁹ as explained elsewhere at length.

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Now, the aspect of *Keter* of *Malchut* of *Atzilut* is the aspect of the power of speech before spreading forth in actual speech with the aspects of the intellect and emotions of speech, which are the [other] nine *Sefirot* of *Malchut*.

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
The root of the construction of *Malchut* is from the kindnesses (*Chassadim*) of *Zeir Anpin*, as it states,³⁵ “His throne is founded on kindness” and it is written,³⁶ “Happy is he who considers the poor (*Dal-*דל)” and the word kindness-*Chessed*-חסד is a composite of “pity-*Chas*-חס [on the] poor-*Dalet*-דלית,”³⁷ for *Malchut* has nothing of her own,³⁸ only what she receives from *Zeir Anpin*.

מה שאין כן כשזעיר אנפין ונוקבא היו שוין בקומתן כמו שהיו קודם מיעוט הירח, שנקרא שני מאורות הגדולים, וכן לעתיד לבא דכתיב והיה אור הלבנה כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This was not the case when *Zeir Anpin* and *Nukvah* were equal in their statures,⁴⁰ p. 80 as they were before the lessening of the moon, when they were called,⁴¹ 5565, Vol. 2, p. 593 “The two great luminaries,” and similarly about the coming future it states,⁴² 5565, Vol. 2, p. 593 “And the light of the moon [shall be as the light of the sun] etc.”

אך יש ב' מדריגות גם בבנין הנוקבא, הא' בבחינת האצילות שהוא ענין הנסירה כו', והב' מה שנעשית ראש לבי"ע

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
However, there are also two levels in the construction of the female (*Nukvah*). The first is in the aspect of *Atzilut*, which is the matter of the separation etc., and the second is that it becomes the head of *Briyah, Yetzirah* and *Asiyah*.

(והוא מה שכתוב במקום אחר בענין לכי ומעטי את עצמך כו', שזהו בחינת המלכות שנעשית ראש לשועלים בבי"ע, כמו שכתוב ואת המאור הקטן לממשלת הלילה

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(This is in accordance with what is written elsewhere about the statement⁴³ “Go and lessen yourself etc.,” that this refers to the aspect of *Malchut,* which becomes the,⁴⁴ “head of the foxes,” in *Briyah, Yetzirah* and *Asiyah*. This is as stated,⁴⁵ “the lesser luminary to rule the night.”

ובכלל כל בחינת האצילות נקרא יום, ומדת לילה הוא בחינת המלכות כשמסתתרת בראש הבריאה, כמו שיתבאר בסמוך בענין ברוך שם כבוד מלכותו לעולם ועד כו', אחר בקיעת המסך כו' ודי למבין)

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
For in general the entire aspect of *Atzilut* is called day, whereas the quality of night refers to the aspect of *Malchut* as it becomes hidden in the head of *Briyah,* as will be explained in subsequent chapters regarding the matter of, “Blessed be the Name of His glorious Kingship forever and ever etc.,” which is after it penetrates the screen etc. This will suffice for the understanding.)
