11. “By day, the Lord commands His kindness [Hesed], and at night His song is with me.” “His song is with me” is Gevura of ZA, since His song is as it is written, “A firstborn bull—he has majesty,” and it is written, “And the face of an ox on the left.” “His song” and “ox” are equal to each other. Gabriel is the messenger of Gevura, and must recite poems and play [music] with joy in the wine of Torah, to engage in Torah, and to observe the verse “Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the night watches.”
12. In the watches, he shall say forgiveness, litanies, and requests with singing in his throat, which is a Kinor [musical instrument], to elicit with it a sound with the six wings of the lung, which are the five lobes of the lungs, with varda, which is a small lobe that is dependent on the lung, and on the six rings of the trachea. This implies six, ZA, which emerges from the heart, Bina, as we learn, “The heart understands.” And a son comes out, ZA, from Bina, from ben [son of] Yod-Hey, since Bina has the letters of Ben Yod-Hey.
The son who comes out, Vav, is a chick with six wings, ZA, in which there are six Sefirot HGT NHY. He raises them through the six rings of the trachea, as it is written, “six ascents to the throne,” since HGT NHY of ZA are six ascents to Bina, who is called a “throne” to Hochma.
13. It is written, “A throne set on high from the beginning,” meaning it is more exalted than the first throne. Thus, there are two thrones, which are the heart, Bina, and the mouth, Malchut. A heart is as it is written, “And he said, ‘A hand upon the throne of the Lord,’” which is Bina, the throne of Yod-Hey, which is Hochma. The heart is as it is written, “A war to the Lord with Amalek,” which is the liver, SAM. The mouth is Kesse [the time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur], the Kes [throne] of the Lord, as it is written, “Blow the Shofar [festive horn] in the month of the Kesse,” which is the mouth, Malchut, the throne of the bottom Hey of HaVaYaH. Also, there are five corrections of the mouth in her.
14. “Blow the Shofar on the month.” The Shofar is the trachea, Vav, ZA, and it is called “a voice rising from the trachea” to the mouth, Malchut, where there is the Hey, as it is written, “On the Kesse, for the day of our festivity.” The throne of the Lord, with the five corrections of the speech, which are the lips, teeth, and palate. The lips are two, the teeth and the molars are two kinds, and they are four. With the palate, they are five, which are the five corrections of the speech. They grind as a river, which is a voice, the way that grindstones grind, to extract voice and speech, which comes out from Bina, which is the heart, and in the thought, which is Hochma.
15. It is the explicit name in ten kinds of psalms, corresponding to the ten Sefirot. Here, too, the thought is Hochma, the heart is Bina, the trachea is ZA, in which there are HGT NHY, the six rings of the trachea, the mouth, Malchut. With the root, Keter, they are ten Sefirot. Hence, there are no less than ten Shofars in the Shofar, corresponding to the ten Sefirot. The Torah, her voice, her speech, her Bina, as has been clarified, who is wise? He who understands a matter from a matter. And her thought, which is Hochma, thus they are ten Sefirot.
The voice is ZA, in which there are HGT NHY. The speech is Malchut. Bina and Hochma, with her root, are ten Sefirot. Hence, the Torah is more important to the Creator than all the offerings and sacrifices, as it is written, “This is the Torah, for an offering, for a gift.”
