49. Nevertheless, the place of the revelation of Ḥokhma is not in Ze’er Anpin but in Malkhut.¹⁰² within Ze'er Anpin, ultimately that is only for the purpose of transmitting that light to the Nukba, the level of Malkhut, which is the true receiving vessel for the light of Ḥokhma. As the section explains, that level of Malkhut is the bottom of the structure of Ze'er Anpin and Nukba, the true “destination” for the light of Ḥokhma. When we say that Ḥokhma is revealed from the chest¹⁰³ of Ze’er Anpin and below, this is because from the chest of Ze’er Anpin and below is considered Malkhut in that Ḥokhma is not revealed in the first nine sefirot but only in Malkhut. As a result of this, Malkhut is called “lower Ḥokhma“ (as explained in the Sulam, Bereshit 1:276, s.v. “ve’od kama”).
