From the Chest and Below of Ze’er Anpin Belongs to Nukba 56. From this is derived the following principle: that from the chest and below of Ze’er Anpin, that is, the vessels of Tiferet, Netzaḥ, Hod, and Yesod of Ze’er Anpin, are the aspect of Malkhut, which is called “the separated Nukba of Ze’er Anpin.” All nine lower sefirot of that Malkhut are constructed from these vessels of Tiferet, Netzaḥ, Hod, and Yesod of Ze’er Anpin, after they become connected to Ze'er Anpin at the phase of maturity**, as explained.**¹³⁰

Likewise, what we said previously is now well understood, that at the phase of immaturity, Ze’er Anpin and Malkhut are considered “Va”k (vav ketzavot, or six extremities) and a point,” that is, the vessels of Ḥokhma, Bina, Da’at, Ḥesed, Gevura, and Tiferet, which are the six extremities, and the point of the chest, which is Malkhut. Ze’er Anpin is missing the first three lights on account of the lack of the vessels of Netzaḥ, Hod, and Yesod**,**¹³¹ ascended to the chest, in the second constriction. and Malkhut is missing the first nine sefirot of the lights due to the lack of the nine lower sefirot **of the vessels.**¹³² during the immaturity phase.

footnotes: ¹³¹ As the previous few sections explained, these vessels below their levels in the phase of immaturity, during which Malkhut ¹³² See the end of section 54 above, and the footnote there, for the broader explanation of this Malkhut

Thus, the root of the Nukba of Ze’er Anpin at the phase of immaturity and at the phase of maturity has been thoroughly explained, referring to the phases of immaturity and maturity in the world of Nekudim. And even though the vessels of Nekudim were broken,¹³³, ultimately giving rise to the world of Tikkun (rectification). they were nevertheless rectified again in the world of Atzilut with these two phases, the phases of immaturity and maturity. This occurred in such a manner that Ze’er Anpin and Malkhut of Atzilut are also “Va”k(six extremities) and a point” in the phase of immaturity, like in the phase of immaturity of the seven sefirot of Nekudim, in which Tiferet, Netzaḥ, Hod, and Yesod of Ze’er Anpin of Atzilut have fallen into Beria, Yetzira, and Asiya.¹³⁴ This point¹³⁵ and a point,” explained fully in the preceding sections. is the root of Nukba. At the phase of maturity, these sefirot of Tiferet, Netzaḥ, Hod, and Yesod return to their level in Ze’er Anpin of Atzilut and complete the vessels of Netzaḥ, Hod, and Yesod for Ze’er Anpin, and the nine lower sefirot of the vessels to its Nukba, which is Malkhut, as explained regarding the immaturity and maturity of the world of Nekudim**.**¹³⁶ of Tiferet, Netzaḥ, Hod, and Yesod return to Ze'er Anpin and serve to complete its vessels, rendering a full set of ten vessels. Simultaneously, these vessels also serve as the nine lower vessels for the point of Malkhut that rests on the chest of Ze'er Anpin. The point of this paragraph is that this process, which took place in the world of Nekudim (as explained in the preceding sections) also takes place in the world of Atzilut following the breaking of the vessels and the rectification.

footnotes: ¹³³ The “breaking of the vessels” refers to a process that took place in the world of Nekudim ¹³⁴ As explained at length in section 53 above. ¹³⁵ This refers to the point in “Va”k ¹³⁶ These sefirot

It thus turns out that these vessels of Tiferet, Netzaḥ, Hod, and Yesod of Ze’er Anpin, which are from its chest and below, are the roots of the phase of maturity of the Nukba of Ze’er Anpin.
