142. “Since firmaments were fashioned, etc.” And since firmaments were fashioned from them, who resides in them? He reiterated and said: “In them He set a tent for the sun” [Psalms 19:5]. That holy sun, which is Ze'er Anpin – there is its chamber, and its abode is in them, and it is crowned in them.

Explanation: Since we have said that the pillar of light emerges from the firmament and above, and from the firmament and below only their praise is drawn, the question arises: Who is using this pillar of light? This is the meaning of the question: “Who resides in them?” [The Zohar] replies that the Ze'er Anpin, which is called the sun, is crowned and sets its abode in this pillar of light. [The Ze'er Anpin] is crowned with this pillar like being under a canopy, since a tent means a canopy above. This is the meaning of the verse: “In them He set a tent for the sun.”
