and hills in the balance. – the two pillars of truth¹. And this Hei²³ is extended, to shine through five colours, which are the ‘5 times light’.

footnotes: ¹ Netzaḥ-Hod ² ה ³ 5

Yod¹² is Her measure, the higher Hei is the ‘five’ of light, the lower Hei is the five colours, through which the five of light shine. And when the higher Hei is extended, to shine through the lower Hei, with her five [shining] colours, then Vav¹ is immediately extended towards Her.

footnotes: ¹ י ² 10 ¹ ו

And this is: (Ps. 104:2) ... He extends the heavens like a curtain. For surely, when She shines with Her colours, it is stated of Her: (Gen. 9:16) ... and I shall see it, * to remember the eternal covenant*... ... and I shall see it... – in Her jewels, like a bride, who is adorned for Her Husband. And then immediately:... He extends forth the heavens... (Ps. 104:2) For He, Her Husband, is towards Her.

And this is the mystery of the ‘line of measure’, which is ו¹, from that measure which is Yod¹. And after She has taken the Holy Name, She is made that measure from bottom to top.

footnotes: ¹ Vav ¹ י

Just as the point י¹², is a measure for ‘ten curtains’, so is She a ‘cubit’³ of six tephaḥim, from the aspect of the letter Vav², inclusive of ten cubits. It is this that is written: (Ex. 26:16) Ten cubits is the length of the board... and this is the letter Yod¹. *And a cubit...*is the higher Hei. ... and half a cubit... is the lower Hei. The length of one cubit – this is Vav. And why is the lower Hei called half a cubit? Because She is called ‘the broken matzah’ – the bread of poverty.

And this point – when it ascends towards Aleph¹, which is ‘the concealed air’ – is called qametz¹, the closed handful. Because: (see Lev. 5:12) ... and the priest shall take-a-handful² *from there, a full handful... *and it is Hidden Thought – the blocked ם¹.

What is its key? the vowel-sign ‘pataḥ’¹! And this is ו¹. And it is stretched forth like this: ***[Var. ֿ ֿ ֿ ] When it is separated from the point, it is most certainly an open firmament, (see Ez. 1:22) Stretched over the heads of theḥayah*, which is the ‘spark’ of the qametz¹. It is this that is written: (Ez. 1:22) And the image, above the heads of theḥayah, a firmament...

footnotes: ¹ ַ ¹ Vav ¹ ָ

Who is the ḥayah? It is Malkhut, which is a ‘spark’ below the ‘firmament’, like this: [Var. ָ¹ ]

footnotes: ¹ qametz

Who is ‘the firmament’? It is the ‘Righteous-One’¹. And She is the ḥayah: (Ez. 10:20) *which I saw beneath the God of Israel... *and the heads of the ḥayah below are Netzaḥ and Hod.

footnotes: ¹ tzadiq

And there is a higher ḥayah, like this: and this is that [which is] higher Yod, which is above the firmament, and this is ‘higher Thought.’.

[And this one, She is ADNY, the higher crown is She] Keter, at the head [of all] [Var. of the bride]. Her firmament is higher Vav, and this is: (Is. 62:3) ... the crown of glory... Her heads are two arms. And there is [and She is] a crown, on the head of Father and Mother, a Higher Crown surely. And Her heads above are Father and Mother.

She is Yod¹ in every place. Her ‘tip’ is above, and Her body is in the middle, and Her end is below, ‘the totality of the letters’ of the explicit Name.

footnotes: ¹ י

Her head above, is of the mystery of ‘cantillation-notes’, and Her body in the middle, is of the mystery [Var. the totality] of the letters, a body for both-of-them, and her tip below, is of the mystery of the vowel-points.

And below, this point is ‘female waters’, and above, ‘male waters’.¹ A firmament in the middle like this: א². Upon it is stated: (Gen. 1:6) ... and let it separate, between waters and waters.

footnotes: ¹ Bereishyt Rabbah 13:13 ² Aleph

And this is the meaning of:¹ ‘a dispute which is for the sake of heaven, whose purpose will endure’, to bring about peace and unity in both-of-them, and not a dispute of separation, such as the dispute of Koraḥ and his assembly with Aaron.

footnotes: ¹ Mishnah Avot 5:17

And this debate which is for the sake of Heaven is because the lower waters are crying, and saying: ‘We want to be before the King, the Cause of all causes!’ And they want to ascend above. But a firmament separates between them, until the Cause of all causes makes them equal.

Yod¹ from this side of Aleph, and Yod¹ from this side, Vav¹ in the middle, like this: יוי¹ which is א¹. And they all approach the Cause of all causes.

footnotes: ¹ י ¹ י ¹ ו ¹ Yod-Vav-Yod ¹ Aleph

And the mystery of the word: (Gen. 1:16) And ELQYM made, the two great luminaries... And they are equal. It is this that is written: (Is. 30:26) And the light of the moon,* shall be as the light of the sun*...

Come and see: qametz¹ is enclosed within the letter Yod¹, from every side: above, and middle, and below. And this ‘handful’² is enclosed with three sephirot. Its opening is through the ‘five mentions of light’, which are the 5 higher fingers, and they are the higher Hei¹³.
