ואתקשר בה' דאברהם דאיהו חמש' חומשי תורה. ובה אשתלים משה. ומיד דאשתלים אתגליא עליה ימינא. ודא הוא וזרוע יי' על מי נגלתה.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

And he Moses is bound with the Hei¹ of AbraHam, which is the five books of the Torah, and through which is perfected the name of Moses². And as soon as it his name is perfected, the right-hand is revealed upon him. And this is: (Is. 53:1) ... and the arm of Y”Y, upon whom has it been revealed?

חמשאה בנגון (דאיהי ג"ן. דתליין) בגין דהאי ניגון סליק מניה כמה נגינות עולימן מסטרא דשמאלא. דמתמן רוח צפון הוה נחתא בכנור דוד והוה מנגן מאליו. הה"ד והיה כנגן המנגן וגו'

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

The fifth type of music is ‘tune’¹, [which is ‘garden’¹² – that suspend] because from this tune ascend many tunes. ’Uleiman are from the left side, from where the northern wind would descend upon David’s harp,³ and it would play of itself. It is this that is written: (2 King. 3:15) ... and it was as the musician played...

ומתמן רעמין נפקין הה"ד ורעם גבורותיו מי יתבונן

And from there do thunderclaps¹ emerge. It is this that is written: (Job 26:14) ... and the thunder¹ of His mighty deeds¹ *, *–who can understand?

ומתמן רעה התרעעה הארץ בתרועה מסטרא דמטה כלפי חסד. מוט התמוטטה ארץ בתקיעה פור התפוררה ארץ בשברים.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

And from there: (Is. 24:19) Utterly broken¹ *will be the land... *– with the ram’s horn sound te-ru’ah – from the side that inclines towards Ḥesed, ... *trembling, trembling will be the land... – with the ram’s horn sound te-qi’ah¹ – crumbled, crumbled will be the land, *– with the ram’s horn sound she-varim¹.

footnotes: ¹ ro’ah hitro’a’ah ¹ piercing ¹ breakages

בההוא זמנא תלת אבהן מתקשרין בגבורה ואתעבידו בה תרועה שברים תקיעה. ובהון רעה התרועעה וגו'. ודא יהא בסוף יומיא. וכל אתין אלין. בארעא דישראל יהון. בגין דתמן חברון דאבהן תמן קבורים.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

At that time: the three Patriarchs will become bound to Gevurah, and are made thereby the ram’s horn sounds of te-ru’ah, she-varim, te-qiah, and through them: Utterly broken¹ ... etc. And this will be at the end of days, and all these signs, in the Land of Israel they shall be, because Hebron is there, where the Patriarchs are buried.

footnotes: ¹ ro’ah hitro’a’ah

שתיתאה הללויה הללוהו** **ודא ה"ו. עליה אתמר ליל שמורי' הוא ליי' ודא איהו עמודא דאמצעיתא.

The sixth type of music is: ‘**Praise YaH!**¹ Praise Him!’¹ – and this is Hei-Vav². About that is stated: (Ex. 12:42) It is a night of observances¹ for Y”Y. And this is the Middle Pillar.

ורזא דמלה השמיעו הללו ואמרו הושע יי' את עמך את שארית ישראל. לקיים קרא כימי צאתך מארץ מצרים אראנו נפלאות.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

And the mystery of the word: (Jer. 31:6) *... Let be heard! Praise! And say: Save O Y”Y, Your people, the remnant of Israel! *To fulfil the scriptural verse: (Mic. 7:15) Like the days of your exodus from the land of Egypt, I shall show him wonders.

ורזא דמלה מ"ה ש"היה ה"וא ש"יהיה. וביה מ"מכון ש"בתו ה"שגיח. בגין דאיהו דיוקנא דעמודא דאמצעיתא.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

And the mystery of the word MoSHeH¹ is an acronym of: (Ecc. 1:9) Mah¹ Shehayah¹ Hu¹ that which will be. And regarding it MoSHeH¹ is an acronym of: (Ps. 33:14) Mim-khon¹ Shivto¹ * Hishgia*ḥ¹ – for he is the image of the Middle Pillar.

בההוא זמנא אתקיים רזא דמתניתין דאמר אוכלין כל ארבע ותולין כל חמש דהיינו אלף חמשאה. ושורפין בתחלת שש דאיהו אלף שתיתא'

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

At that time: the mystery of the Mishnah will be fulfilled, which says:¹ ‘One may eat the whole of the four hours, and keep it in suspense all the fifth...’ – which is ‘the fifth millennium’ – ‘... and burn it at the beginning of the sixth hour’, – which is ‘the sixth millennium’.

footnotes: ¹ Mishnah Pesaḥim 1:4

ובגין דלא יפרישו בין שש דאיהו עמודא דאמצעיתא ובין שבע דאיהי בת זוגיה. צריך לבערא שאור וחמץ דאינון ערב רב. דלא יתחזיין בין שש דאיהו ו' ובין שבע דאתמ' בה שבע ביום הללתיך.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

And in order that they not separate between ‘the six’¹, which is the Middle Pillar, and ‘the seven’, which is its coupling partner, one needs to destroy the yeast and the leaven, which are the mixed multitude, for they must not be seen, between six – which is Vav²³ – and seven, of which it is stated: (Ps. 119:164) Seven times in the day I praise you...

footnotes: ¹ shesh ² 6 ³ ו

בגין דערב רב אפרישו בין שש לשבע במתן תורה כד"א וירא העם כי בשש משה. ואוקמוהו בשש באלין שית שעתין עבדו ית עגלא ואפרישו בין ו"ק. דאינון שש לשבע. הכי יפריש לון קב"ה בין שש לשבע

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

Because the mixed multitude separated between ‘six’ and ‘seven’, at the Giving of the Torah, as it says: (Ex. 32:1) And the People saw that Moses delayed¹ *... *And they the sages established² that vo-shesh means ‘in six’¹ – in these six hours they made the golden calf, and they separated between Vav³⁴ and Qei³⁴, which are between six to seven. So will the blessed Holy One separate them, between the sixth millennium and the seventh.

דבגינייהו הות מצה פרוסה לחם עני. עני ודאי.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

For because of them, She Shekhinah was as ‘a broken unleavened-bread’, (Deut. 16:3) *... the bread of poverty... *Poverty, specifically!

ובההוא זמנ' תהא שלימ' כגוונא דחברתה דאיהי מצה שלימה. הה"ד והיה אור הלבנה כאור החמה.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

And at that time the future, She will be whole, like Her companion, Who is a ‘complete unleavened-bread’. It is this that is written: (Is. 30:26) And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun...

ואמאי הות מצה פרוסה בגין דאסתלק מנה ו' רגל דילה למהוי ביה כמצוה ומצה פרוסה אשתארת ד'. ובגין דא מצה פרוסה ד'. מצה שלימה ה'.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

And why was She a broken unleavened-bread? Because ו¹, Her leg, had withdrawn or ascended from Her, thus preventing Her from being like a precept². And a broken unleavened-bread remains a Dalet¹² and because of that: The ‘broken’ MaTzaH is ד¹ A ‘complete’ MaTzaH is ה¹

ובגין דא אמרין הלל גמור והלל שאינו גמור בפסח. לקבל מצה שלימה ומצה פרוסה.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

And because of this, we say both a complete Hallel, and a Hallel that is not complete, on the Passover, corresponding to: complete matzah and broken matzah.

ואמרין מרור על שם ו' דאתפרש מן ה'. ודא גרים לון דוימררו את חייהם איהו מרור ואיהי מרה הה"ד קראן לי מרה כי המר שדי לי. בעבודה קשה בקשיא בחמר בקל וחמר בין אומין דעלמא.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

And we talk about the bitter herb¹, because of the Vav² that became separated from the Hei². And this caused for them: (Ex. 1:14) And they embittered¹ their lives. He became maror¹ and She became marah¹. It is this that is written: (Ruth 1:20) ... call me bitter¹ , * because ShaDaY has embittered*¹ me greatly. (Ex. 1:14) ... with harsh¹ *servitude... *– with ‘question’¹, ... with mortar¹ *... *– with ‘a fortiori argument’¹, when they are among the nations of the world.

ומאן גרים דא י' מן שדי רשימו דברית דיהיב משה בערב רב.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

And what caused this? The Yod¹ from ShaDaY – the ‘impression of the covenant’ of circumcision – which Moses gave the mixed multitude.

footnotes: ¹ י

בגין דא נחית משה מדרגיה. הה"ד לך רד כי שחת עמך. עמך ולא עמי.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

Because of this, Moses was lowered from his level. It is this that is written: (Ex. 32:7) ... Go! Descend! For your people have corrupted... Your people and not “My people.”

ועל ידיה עתידה שכינת' ליחדא עם קב"ה בגין דאיהו אפריש לון. צריך ליחד' לון. לתקנא במה דחאב.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

And by his Moses’ hand, the Shekhinah is destined to be united with the blessed Holy One, because he separated them, he needs to unite them – to fix what he had done wrong.

קמו כלהו חבריא ונשקו ליה ואמרו אי לא אתינא לעלמא אלא למשמע דא דיי.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

All the companions rose and kissed him, and they each said: ‘If we had not come to the world except to hear this, it would have been enough.’

שביעאה בנצוח דאיהו נצח ישראל. ועליה אתמר וגם נצח ישראל לא ישקר. ועליה אתמר למנצח על אילת השחר. למנצח על השמינית מאן שמינית הוד. ואיהו נצח עליה.

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

The seventh type of music is with ‘conducting’¹, which is The Eternal¹ of Israel. And about it is stated: (1 Sam. 15:29) And also, the Eternal of Israel does not tell falsehood... And about it is stated: (Ps. 22:1) To the conductor¹ on ayelet ha-shaar... (Ps. 12:1) To the conductor: Upon the eighth¹ *... *What is the eighth? Hod. And it is Netzaḥ which is upon it.

The eighth type of music is with ‘thanksgiving’¹. And David praised with it: (Ps. 136:1) Give thanks¹ *to Y”Y... *And this is most certainly Hod. *To the conductor:*¹ – Give thanks¹ * *– with those they allude to Netzaḥ and Hod, and they are ‘miracles’.

וביה שבח משה אז הה"ד אז ישיר משה. בגין דאיהו הוד דיהיב למשה אז תקרא וה' יענה

Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024

And with it Hod Moses praised ‘then’¹². It is this that is written (Ex. 15:1) Then¹ *did Moses sing... Because it is Hod that He gave to Moses. (Is. 58:9) ‘‘Az’*¹ you shall call, and Ha-Shem shall answer...
