Making
the
Earth
Is
as
the
Making
of
Man
28.
It
is
written,
“The
bird
also
has
found
a
house,
and
the
sparrow
has
a
nest
where
she
may
lay
her
young,
Your
altars,
O
Lord
of
hosts,
my
King
and
my
God.”
“The
bird
also”
means
that
the
Creator
has
made
on
earth
places
and
areas
that
are
holy
and
higher
than
the
rest
of
the
settlements.
29.
It
is
all
as
the
creation
of
man:
the
Creator
sorts
that
semen
and
shatters
it
as
one
who
sorts
and
shatters
wheat—separating
the
chaff
from
the
straw—until
He
sorts
the
wheat
to
the
proper
place.
30.
Thus
the
Creator
created
the
earth:
He
took
snow
from
under
His
throne,
namely
judgments
of
the
left.
The
snow
was
warmed
in
several
manners,
and
He
threw
it
into
the
woman’s
water,
namely
Malchut.
Thus,
the
woman
does
not
conceive
until
she
lays
MAN.
Into
this
water,
the
male,
ZA,
lays
the
snow.
This
is
the
semen
that
is
more
connected
together
than
the
woman’s
semen,
which
is
as
snow
upon
water.
They
conjoin
because
snow
is
male
judgments
from
Hochma
without
Hassadim,
and
water
is
Hassadim
that
ascend
from
the
female
judgment,
therefore
they
complement
themselves.
31.
After
the
Creator
cast
the
snow
into
the
water,
He
sorted
it,
shattered,
and
made
the
navel
first,
which
is
one
point
out
of
what
had
been
sorted
out
of
the
snow.
The
navel
is
the
point
of
Zion.
32.
Four
threads
expanded
from
there
to
the
four
directions
of
the
world:
east,
west,
north,
and
south,
which
are
Tifferet,
Malchut,
Gevura,
and
Hesed.
From
that
thread,
which
expanded
from
the
east,
from
Tifferet,
a
body
was
made—beginning
in
the
east
and
ending
in
the
west,
Malchut.
The
body
is
the
land
of
Israel,
and
it
is
registered
in
the
letters
ADNI,
who
is
the
master
and
ruler
of
the
whole
world.
33.
From
the
thread
that
extends
from
the
south,
which
is
the
clearest
out
of
the
snow
and
is
its
strength,
the
right
arm
was
made,
which
is
chosen
with
delights.
This
is
the
Garden
of
Eden,
in
which
Adam
HaRishon
entered
and
stands
for
the
delight
of
the
souls.
It
is
covered
and
concealed,
and
is
the
right
of
the
entire
world.
34.
From
that
thread
which
extends
from
the
north,
a
left
arm
was
made
and
created.
This
is
Hell,
which
was
made
of
the
waste
of
the
snow
to
punish
the
souls
of
the
wicked.
35.
The
head
of
the
world
was
established
in
the
sky,
and
the
world
was
headless
until
the
Temple
was
built.
Once
the
tabernacle
was
established,
the
head
was
established.
36.
The
mouth
of
the
entire
world,
which
was
established
in
the
head
of
the
world,
is
Sinai,
where
the
Torah
was
given.
He
registered
the
mouth
inside
the
water
from
the
sorting
in
the
snow.
The
thighs
and
the
rest
of
the
organs
are
in
the
rest
of
the
land.
37.
And
as
the
woman
has
pains
and
pangs
during
labor,
when
the
Creator
sought
to
elicit
the
earth
to
the
world,
the
water
ascended
and
descended,
as
it
is
written,
“The
mountains
rose;
the
valleys
sank
down.”
The
Creator
elicited
from
the
earth
thunders
and
horrors,
and
the
water
fled.
It
is
written,
“They
flee
from
Your
scolding;
they
scurry
from
the
sound
of
Your
thunder.”
The
earth
came
forth
and
remained
low
and
filthy
as
this
newborn
that
comes
out
of
its
mother’s
womb
as
low
as
one
who
is
dead,
and
dirty
from
the
labor.
38.
As
one
calls
and
shakes
the
newborn
until
it
wakes
up,
and
puts
fire
and
a
candle
by
its
back
to
warm
it,
and
a
mirror
to
illuminate,
so
did
the
Creator
with
the
earth
when
it
emerged
from
the
water.
It
is
all
written
in
one
verse,
as
it
is
written,
“The
sound
of
Your
thunder
in
the
wheel,”
which
is
the
call
so
the
earth
will
awaken.
“Lightning
lit
up
the
world,”
the
fire
and
the
candle
to
warm
it.
Then
the
earth
awakened
and
the
world
emerged.
Promptly,
“The
earth
angered
and
quaked,”
like
a
newborn
crying
when
it
wakes
up.
39.
Thus
far
the
mouth
of
the
earth
has
been
closed,
until
Israel
came
to
receive
the
Torah
and
the
mouth
has
been
opened
at
its
head,
which
is
in
the
sky.
This
is
Sinai,
where
the
Torah
was
given
and
the
speech
was
established.
40.
When
Israel
entered
the
land,
that
which
was
open,
the
mouth,
closed.
And
that
which
was
closed,
the
navel,
opened.
It
is
the
opposite
of
man,
in
whom
upon
birth
the
navel
closes
and
the
mouth
opens.
The
mouth
closes
means
that
there
was
no
speech
in
it
once
Moses
had
departed.
The
navel
opened
is
the
Temple.
From
there
it
eats
what
its
mother
eats
and
drinks
what
its
mother
drinks,
and
the
whole
world
is
nourished
by
the
extract
of
the
land
of
Israel.
The
Temple
is
Bina
in
the
earth,
upper
Ima.
From
there
it
eats
what
its
mother
eats,
receiving
from
there
the
complete
abundance
from
upper
Ima.
Throughout
the
world,
that
complete
abundance
is
not
to
be
found
unless
when
nourished
by
the
extract
of
the
land
of
Israel.
41.
This
is
why
there
are
areas
and
places
in
the
world
that
exceed
one
another
in
merit.
The
Garden
of
Eden,
the
right
arm
of
the
entire
world,
contains
areas
and
places
that
exceed
one
another
in
merit,
and
there
is
the
tree
of
life
and
the
tree
of
knowledge
of
good
and
evil.
42.
In
one
of
those
halls
is
the
most
concealed
and
hidden
place.
No
one
knows
this
place
but
one
bird
that
comes
three
times
each
day
and
tweets
in
the
tree
in
the
garden,
as
it
is
written,
“The
bird
also
has
found
a
house.”
43.
The
souls
know
their
marks
in
that
bird
as
they
thank
and
praise
when
they
exert
in
wisdom
to
know.
And
that
bird
enters
the
hall
and
hides
and
is
concealed,
and
is
unknown.
And
a
sparrow
is
as
it
is
written,
“And
the
sparrow
has
a
nest,”
which
is
the
holy
soul
that
rises
up
free.
44.
“And
the
sparrow
has
a
nest”
is
Yovel
[jubilee/50
year
anniversary],
Bina,
as
it
is
written,
“And
you
shall
sanctify
the
fiftieth
year
and
proclaim
liberty”
[Dror
means
liberty,
freedom
and
sparrow].
“[The
sparrow]
has
a
nest”
in
the
upper
Hochma,
which
is
the
Zivug
of
HB.
A
sparrow
is
above,
in
Bina,
and
a
bird
is
below,
in
Malchut.
Who
is
the
one
who
“may
lay
her
young”?
The
sparrow,
who
is
the
fiftieth
year,
Bina,
which
elicited
six
young,
HGT
NHY
of
ZA,
and
the
bird,
which
is
Malchut.
The
Hochma
is
not
revealed
in
any
Sefira
but
Malchut.
This
is
why
it
was
said
that
there
is
one
hall
more
concealed
and
hidden
than
all.
It
is
the
hall
of
Hochma,
for
the
Hochma
is
more
concealed
than
all
the
Sefirot.
And
no
one
knows
this
place
but
one
bird,
Malchut,
for
only
in
Malchut
does
the
Hochma
appear.
It
comes
three
times
daily,
receiving
from
ZA
three
lines,
called
“three
times.”
“And
tweets
in
the
tree
in
the
garden,”
as
it
is
written,
“The
bird
also
has
found
a
house,”
for
a
house
is
Hochma,
as
it
is
written,
“In
wisdom
shall
a
house
be
built.”
And
the
bird,
Malchut,
has
found
and
attained
the
house,
Hochma
[wisdom].
Before
Hochma
is
revealed
in
Malchut,
the
souls
cannot
receive
the
covered
Hassadim
from
GAR
of
Bina,
from
upper
AVI,
who
are
called
“freedom,”
for
only
in
upper
AVI,
who
desire
mercy
and
repel
Hochma,
is
Hassadim
regarded
as
more
important
than
Hochma,
and
the
Hassadim
are
GAR.
But
in
the
souls
of
the
lower
ones,
which
are
offspring
of
ZON,
which
require
Hochma,
as
long
as
they
do
not
receive
from
the
revealed
Hochma
in
Malchut,
the
Hassadim
they
receive
are
regarded
as
VAK
without
a
head,
namely
deficient
and
incomplete.
In
that
bird,
the
souls
know
their
signs.
Through
her
they
recognize
the
Hassadim
they
receive
from
AVI,
whether
they
are
GAR
of
VAK
without
a
head,
when
they
thank
and
praise,
and
when
they
exert
to
know
in
Hochma.
And
that
bird
enters
the
hall.
That
is,
through
praises
and
thanks
and
engagement
in
Torah,
they
raise
MAN
to
that
bird,
Malchut,
to
enter
the
hall
of
Hochma,
where
she
hides
and
is
concealed,
unknown,
meaning
that
nothing
pours
down
from
her
because
the
Hochma
illuminates
in
her
only
from
below
upward.
That
sparrow
is
the
holy
soul
that
ascends
and
is
free.
That
is,
when
the
soul
rises
to
receive
the
Hassadim
from
upper
AVI,
she
is
free
because
they
are
the
most
complete
Mochin
from
upper
AVI,
which
are
more
important
than
GAR
and
are
called
“Mochin
of
freedom,”
it
is
all
once
the
Hochma
in
Malchut
has
already
been
revealed.
However,
before
the
Hochma
is
revealed
in
Malchut,
the
Hassadim
in
her
are
regarded
as
headless.
