441. “And when the animals went the wheels [Ophanim] went with them. And when the animals were lifted above the earth, the wheels were lifted.” They are all according to that spirit that goes and governs them.
442. “For wherever the spirit would go, they would go.” This is the spirit that comes out from within the hidden spirit. When the holy spirit comes out from the hidden spirit in the throne, and clashes, copulating with that spirit that is on him, all the animals journey to him together. It is written, “For wherever,” meaning that that spirit makes a coupling with the spirit of the throne, and the spirit of the throne is not present on him but rather journeys to him, to his place, and all the animals journey to that side.
These animals, HGT of ZA, with the Malchut who receives them, are the four legs of the upper throne, Bina. The spirit in the animals is emanated from the upper spirit in the throne, in Bina, and the spirit of the animals takes all its strength from the spirit in Bina by copulating with him. He makes a coupling with him in two phases: 1) In the place of the upper spirit, the place of Bina, and from there bestows upon the animals. 2) The upper spirit descends to the place of the lower spirit and makes a coupling with him in the place of the lower spirit, the place of the animals.
443. “For wherever the spirit would go,” to that hidden place where the upper spirit is on meaning that the coupling is in the place of Bina, and all the animals look to the spirit that is there, to add their brightness. And from that brightness, the brightness called “the horns of the animals” is added, blazing and glittering according to the honored looking of that spirit of the animals, which emerges from the upper spirit in Bina, for he is hidden in Bina.
444. The first spirit is in the holy name that the name EKYEH is included in, since GAR of Bina are called EKYEH, and since the upper spirit is from ZAT of Bina, EKYEH is included in it. This is so because ZAT of Bina are called HaVaYaH with punctuation of Elokim. But because they belong to Bina, they are incorporated in the name EKYEH, which is a great and ruling name. The animals fear and tremble from that name, and carry the throne, the name EKYEH, with fear and trembling.
This is the name that governs the Merkava, the four animals, with an inscription of three names—El, Elokim, HaVaYaH—three lines incorporated in it. This is so because they emerge from the three lines in YESHSUT, ZAT of Bina. There are seventy explicit names in the three names, the three lines, seventy-two names that come out from the three verses, “and went,” “and came,” “and pitched.” They are also called “seventy names in the seventy Sanhedrin and two witnesses that govern all the upper secrets, that all the armies and camps tremble from them and journey for them, that they journey by the power of the three lines in them.
Twenty-two letters and all the trails are incorporated in this, since the thirty-two trails of wisdom are the ten Sefirot of YESHSUT and the twenty-two letters of ZA, since Hochma is not revealed in the ten Sefirot of YESHSUT, unless by incorporation with the twenty-two letters of ZA. This is why they are counted together in the revelation of the Hochma, and they add up to thirty-two.
445. The other spirit emerges from the first spirit, EKYEH, and from there, there is faith on all the sides, ZA, who contains every VAK in the holy name that is incorporated and inscribed on him, the name HaVaYaH. He comes out and is inscribed from the name EKYEH, since ZA, who is called HaVaYaH, is emanated from Bina, EKYEH. Although everything is one, the name HaVaYaH is an induction that is built from the hidden name EKYEH. This is the meaning of the spirit of the animals, ZA, emerging from the first spirit, EKYEH.
446. Another spirit, lower one, that emerges from the spirit HaVaYaH, is in the holy name included in it, the name ADNI, Malchut, who governs the animals and the Ophanim of below, of Malchut.
447. So are the upper one and lower one. The upper one, the name EKYEH, Bina, controls the upper animals, HGTM of ZA, in the holy name. The lower one, the name ADNI, controls the lower animals, of Malchut, below.
There are two thrones: the upper throne, Bina, and the lower throne, Malchut. As the upper animals, HGTM of ZA, are the four legs of the upper throne, Bina, EKYEH, so are the lower animals of Malchut the four legs of the bottom throne, Malchut, ADNI.
448. They are upper animals and upper Ophanim, and lower animals and lower Ophanim. The upper animals, HGTM of ZA, are the four legs of the upper throne, Bina. The upper Ophanim, NHYM of ZA, are called Ophanim. The lower Ophanim are those of below, of Malchut, as there are animals below, for in Malchut, too, animals are HGTM, and her Ophanim are NHYM.
449. The upper animals are four, and the Ophanim are four. When one Ophan connects to the animals, the Ophanim in the one who connected are four. If one Ophan connected to the animals, he is divided and becomes four Ophanim. Similarly, below, in the animals and Ophanim of Malchut, animals are four, Ophanim are four, and they spread out below, in Malchut.
450. “For wherever the spirit would go, they would go.” The name EKYEH, Bina, is the entirety of everything, and all the animals and Ophanim above and below emerge from it, and he rules over the upper, hidden animals of ZA, since they emerge from the name EKYEH. For this reason, “For wherever the spirit would go” is HaVaYaH, ZA, an induction built from the name EKYEH.
This is so because the living spirit is the name ADNI, that the secrets of the upper Merkavot of EKYEH and of HaVaYaH will be hidden, meaning clothed inside the hidden ones of the Merkava of ADNI, since the revelation is mainly in the name ADNI, so that all will be together as one.
