[Tikkunei Zohar 38b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tikkunei%20Zohar/r/38b:1)

מנע מלעילא נשמתא יתירה 
דאיהו נשמת כל חי 
ואשתאר יום השבת עני ושכינתא יבשה. 
הכי אתמנע ברכאן מניה. 
ואיהו מדה כנגד מדה.

**Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024:**
prevents, from above, the extra soul, 
which is ‘the soul of all life’, 
and the Sabbath day remains poor and the Shekhinah dry, 
so blessings are withheld from him 
– and it is ‘measure for measure’.


###### Tikkunei Zohar 38b:2
[Tikkunei Zohar 38b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tikkunei%20Zohar/r/38b:2)

וכגנה זרועיה תצמיח. 
אוף הכי נמי אצמיח טוב' דיליה.

**Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024:**
And anyone who adds on the Sabbath, then:

*So also, his good shall flourish.

ומאן זרועיה דשכינת' לעילא.

ויחדון לון לישראל לתתא מזיו כבודה

**Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024:**
And what are the plants of the Shekhinah above?

[Tikkunei Zohar 38b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tikkunei%20Zohar/r/38b:4)

ובזמנא דההיא ם' סתימא אתפתחת. 
לא אתפתחת אלא בפיוסא 
כד"א פתחי לי אחותי 
רעיתי יונתי תמתי 
שראשי נמלא טל.

**Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024:**
And when that closed Mem¹ becomes open, 
it is only opened with appeasement. 
As it says: (Song. 5:2) *... open for me my sister, 
my beloved, my dove, my perfect one, 
for my head is filled with dew...*

והאי פיוסא לגבי ו' 
דאיהו מפתחא דסתים לה 
ובגין דא פתחי לי ביומא קדמאה. 
למאן. לאת י' 
דאיהי נקודה דקמץ. 
כד אתפתחת אתפתחת בפתח 
דאיהו ו'. 
כד סתים סתים בקמ"ץ 
ואיהו י"ו. 
טפה וזרע דאתמשך מניה.

**Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024:**
And this appeasement is towards Vav¹, 
which is the key that has closed Her. 
And because of this, *open for me* – on the first day, 
open to whom? To the letter Yod¹ – 
which is the vowel-point of qametz¹. 
When it becomes open, it opens up with the vowel pataḥ²¹, 
which is the letter Vav¹. 
When it closes, it closes with the vowel qametz²¹. 
And it qametz is composed of Yod¹ and Vav¹ 
– the drop, and the seed that is drawn from it.

ביומא קדמאה 
לאת י' דאיהי נקודה דקמץ. 
אחותי 
ביומא תניינא.

ביומא תליתאה

דא טפה י' ודאי. 
ודא נקודה דאת ב'.

**Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024:**
And because of this: *Open for me... 
*– on the first day, 
for the letter Yod¹, which is the vowel-point of the qametz¹, 
*my sister...* 
– on the second day, 
*my beloved*² *...* 
– on the third day, 
which is the Faithful ‘Shepherd’², 
*my dove...* 
– on the fourth day, 
*my perfect one*² *... 
*– on the fifth day. 
(Lam. 4:22) *Completed*² *is your iniquity, O daughter of Zion...* *
for my head...* (Song. 5:2) *
*– on the sixth day, 
for it is stated: (Gen. 47:31) *... and Israel bowed at the head of the bed 
*– which is the sixth day. 
*... filled with dew* (Song. 5:2) *
*– on the seventh day. 
This is surely the drop Yod¹, 
and this is the dagesh point of the letter Beiyt¹.

**Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024:**
And because of this, 
the sexual coupling of scholars is from Sabbath to Sabbath,¹ 
in order to bestow through inheritance that drop, 
which is Ḥokhmah

And not for nothing did the sages of blessed memory establish:⁴ 
‘All who engage in the TaL²³ of the Torah, 
the dew² of Torah revives them.’

דקב"ה מדקדק עם הצדיקים 
אפילו כחוט השערה.

**Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024:**
And about that it is stated: 
‘There is nothing between the higher waters and the lower waters, 
except a hair’s breadth’, 
as the Masters of the *Mishnah* have established. 
And this hair-strand is the Righteous-One. 
And not for nothing did the earlier-sages establish: 
‘The blessed Holy One is exacting with the righteous, 
even as a thread of hair’.

And there is no single strand of hair of the Ancient Holy One,

its fountain source is Yod¹, 
which ascends in air infinitely, 
and descends limitlessly.
