And together with, the 7 days of Sukkot, behold they are sixty, corresponding to ‘the sixty’ tractates of the Talmud.

The ‘Eighth Day of Assembly’, is a festival unto itself,¹ in it is the well-spring of the Torah, which irrigates the Tree which is planted in the garden, and its roots and its branches are like (Is. 40:22) ... the circle² *of the Earth... *in which all the festivals² **become celebrated.

The ninth type of music is with ‘joy’¹. And this is: (Ps. 33:1) Rejoice¹ O righteous-ones in Y”Y. And this is the level of the Righteous-One², the ḥaiy¹ of the worlds. From there, comes joy – and through it is redemption! It is this that is written: (Jer. 23:5) ... the righteous plant¹ ... (Zech. 6:12) ... and from beneath him it will sprout¹ *... *Beneath him, specifically – that which is ‘the tenth’ of everything².

At that time: when the two Names are as one, the daughter of the King will be aroused, through Song of Songs and Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, which are (1 King. 5:12) ... three thousand parables... three Yods, which are the three ‘drops’ of the brain which descend from Yod¹ [Var. Vav¹ ], and to where are they extended? Towards ‘the Righteous-One’², who is the rainbow of the covenant, and that which was small is made large.

And the mystery of the matter: the cantillation notes shophar holekh – large pazer. When will an arrow be shooting? When it is in this form: ֡¹.

footnotes: ¹ pazer

Opened ****Rabbi Shim’on a discourse and said: O higher-ones! Prepare yourselves and make haste, with weapons of war against the snake, who nests in the great mountains, and who killed the first man, and all generations that were after him!

And because of this, an announcement goes out every day: ‘whoever kills that snake, which nests in the great mountains, will be given the daughter of the King’ – which is prayer – for he sits upon a tower, of which it is stated: (Prov. 18:10) A tower of strength is the Name of Y”Y, the righteous shall run into it and be strengthened.

Meanwhile, the Faithful Shepherd¹ Moses arrived, with many sheep and oxen and goats, and a staff in his hand. He raised his eyes to the tower, and there came [Var. and he saw] one young man – ‘Righteous-one’¹ is his name – who was sitting upon the tower with a bow in his hand, and he was shooting arrows towards the snake, and this is ‘the great ֡ pazer’.

footnotes: ¹ Ra’aya Me-heimna ¹ tzadiq

But the snake did not even notice them.

And the bow is the tongue of the mouth, the ‘nut of the bow’ is the mouth, the thread of scarlet [this is the lip] [Var. of the lip], the cord of the bow [Var. Ḥesed], through which Righteous-one was shooting arrows – which are the utterances of prayer – towards the snake.

But the snake did not even notice them.

And not because of the weakness, of the Righteous-One, ‘life-force of the worlds’, but because of the weakness, of he that was shooting them, – who is ‘the righteous-one’ below Him, [Var. the righteous-one who is outside of Him], when he is incomplete, and because of this, it the snake did not notice them the arrows.

Until the Faithful Shepherd arrived, and took one arrow and shot towards it, again and again, with his prayer, (Prov. 7:23) until an arrow splits his liver– of the snake.

For it is Samael – ‘another god’ – and there in the liver is its fundament and essence. And because of this: ‘the liver gets angry’.¹ With what does it get angry? With the bile² that cleaves to it, and this is the ‘poison of death’ – his female counterpart, his tail, the ‘extra lobe’ of the liver. ‘Extra’ she is called, for after she performs her adulteries, she gives the remains to her husband.

footnotes: ¹ BT Berakhot 61b ² marah

And the tail is his maidservant [Var. messenger]. With the bile he angers, and with the tail he kills. The bitter bile is his face, the extra lobe is his tail.

Like Adam, for whom was made a face and then a tail. For this one is called ‘the evil¹ Adam’. And this one is like that one, except that this is the man that was taken from the Tree of life, and this is the man that was taken from the Tree of death.

After the arrow penetrates its liver, seed ‘shoots like an arrow’ towards the bride. Yod¹ is the seed² that is drawn from it, and this is a Zayin¹. And it is stated of it: (1 Sam. 20:20) ... as though I shot at a target, – and this is the ‘the eye’s daughter’², a receptacle for zer’a², which is most certainly the letter ז¹.

What is the ‘target’¹ ? This is the cantillation note yeraḥ¹ ֪ ben yomo¹ – the holy moon. She is most certainly a target for the ‘the eye’s daughter’, a small point inside, towards which he sends arrows, with the ‘love of the eyes’.
