143. “Since it is present in those, etc.” Since Ze'er Anpin is dwells in those firmaments and is crowned in them, it is then “like a bridegroom emerging from his canopy” [Psalms 19:6]. [Ze'er Anpin] is joyous and races through those firmaments, emerging from them and entering and running into one other tower, in another place. “His going forth is from the end of the heaven” [Psalms 19:7]. [Ze'er Anpin] certainly emerges from the higher world, which is the edge of the heaven above, that is, Bina. “And its circuit” – what is “its circuit”? This is the edge of the heaven below, that is, Malkhut, which is the time of the year that encircles all endings and which is tied from the heavens until this firmament.

Explanation: Here he alludes to a great and awesome secret, which is the emergence of the sun from its sheath, that is, from its canopy. Once the great fusion is performed in those firmaments, in the mystical meaning of the canopy, [the sun, which is Ze'er Anpin] emerges from those firmaments “into one other tower in another place,” that is, in the place of the Malkhut, which is called “the name of the Lord is a strong tower” [Proverbs 18:10]. Then the Malkhut ascends and unites with Him in the secret of oneness.

The endpoint of the Malkhut is called “the time of the year.” Before the rectification, the kelippot that are called “the end of days” grasped hold there (as stated in the Zohar, Parashat Bo, 31). Now, after the completion of the rectification, this aspect [of Malkhut] requires a special rectification. This is achieved through the emergence of the sun from its sheath, in the mystical meaning of the verse: “And it is like a bridegroom emerging from his canopy.” It illuminates and enters another tower, which is the Malkhut, as stated. Then it “rejoices as a strong man to run his course” [Psalms 19:6], for it runs in that same tower; “and its circuit to its ends” [Psalms 19:7], since it shines from the edge of the heaven above, until all the ends of Malkhut, in order to rectify this time of the year of the edge of the heaven below. ¹, when it emerges in this way, rectifies the edge of Malkhut that requires a unique rectification, due to its vulnerability to the external forces.

footnotes: ¹ This means to say that the shine of the "sun, " which is Ze'er Anpin

[The Zohar] continues: “That encircles all endings.” This rectification completes the rectification of all aspects of the endings in Malkhut. It was thereby “tied from the heavens until this firmament,” that is, the Malkhut receives the illumination of the edge of the heaven from above, until this firmament of Ze'er Anpin.
