318. At its sides, he is divided in the arms and in the shins. The arms of the male are right and left. Three connections were tied to the right arm, which were incorporated in two arms. Three connections are in the right arm, and three connections in the left one. The three connections in the right were incorporated in the three connections in the left. For this reason, it is written about the left arm, “the arm of the Lord,” but it is not written “arm” about the right one, but rather “You right, Lord.” It is called the “right of the Lord” when there are three connections of the patriarchs in it, who bequeathed to their portion.
After The Zohar brings a male and a Nukva, who are right and left in the middle line of ZA, Tifferet, which are adhered to one another, and the Nukva is in the posterior of the male, it now explains the right and left in the two lines in ZA, which are separated in the right and in the left, HG of ZA, who are called “arms.”
Indeed, the three lines HGT of ZA are incorporated together, and in each of the three lines, all three lines are incorporated, and they are called “three connections.” There are three connections in Hesed, three connections in Gevura, three connections in Tifferet. Here The Zohar speaks only of three connections in the two arms HG, and these lines are extended from the Mochin of ZA.
There are two phases in them: 1) Mochin of VAK, where the left line controls and judgments are drawn from it, and there are no Hassadim there at all, 2) Mochin of GAR, where the right controls, and they are Hassadim and Rachamim.
The three connections in the right were incorporated in the three connections in the left. This is in Mochin of VAK, when everything is incorporated in the left, and the left controls with its judgments. For this reason, it is written “arm” about the left, “the arm of the Lord,” but it is not written “arm” about the right, since it is called “arm” only during the control of the left, in Mochin of VAK.
It is called “the right of the Lord” only when there are three connections of the patriarchs in it, who bequeathed to their potion three Mochin HBD, which are anterior GAR that expand in their portion since the Mochin expand throughout the Guf.
319. After all, they are in the three hollows of the brain in the skull, and not in the body, since there are HBD only in the Rosh [head]. Indeed, all three Mochin HBD expand and connect throughout the body, and the whole body connects to those three, and they connect to the right arm.
For this reason, David coveted and said, “Sit to my right,” since he connected with the patriarchs, HGT who became HBD and were connected to the right. David sits there for a complete throne since David is Malchut, a leg of the throne. HGT are the three legs of the throne, and he is their fourth, completing the throne.
This is why it is written, “A stone that the builders loathed became the corner stone.” It is written about Malchut, David, since he sat at the right. It is also written, “And you, go to the end and rest, and rise to your lot at the end of days.” He reminded him of the end of days [“days” spelled like “right”] for he notified him that he is as one who has been rewarded with the King’s love, that the King accepts him to the right. Happy is he to whom the King stretches out His right, to accept him under His right. When that right sits, its three connections expand and shine to the lower ones.
320. The arm does not reach out its hand in three connections, in Mochin of HBD, since there, there is the control of the right. For this reason, it is called “the right of the Lord.” When wicked ones awaken in the world, three other connections awaken, harsh judgment, and stretches the arm, at which time it is the right hand. However, it is called “the arm of the Lord,” “Your stretched out arm.” When these three connections in the right are incorporated in the three other connections, which are harsh judgment, everything is called “right,” and he makes the judgment with mercy, as it is written, “Your right, Lord, glorious in power; Your right, Lord, shatters the enemy,” since they awaken Rachamim in the judgments.
Mochin of Hochma shine only with disclosure of judgments on the wicked, who wish to draw the Hochma from above downward. When wicked ones awaken in the world, three other connections awaken, harsh judgment, and stretches out the arm to sentence the wicked with harsh judgments for drawing the Hochma from above downward, for without stretching out of the arm to punish the wicked, it is impossible for Hochma to be revealed.
When he stretches out the arm to punish the wicked, the Mochin of GAR are revealed, and then it is the right hand, since revealing the GAR are three connections that are connected in the right hand. However, it is called “the arm of the Lord,” “Your stretched out arm,” since the operation of revealing the judgments at the time of the appearance of Hochma is regarded as the stretched out arm, as one who stretches out one’s arm to punish one’s enemies. However, at that time, anterior GAR are revealed, the three connections in the right, since an arm is called merely Mochin of VAK, which execute judgments, and there is no Hesed there at all.
Conversely, here, in Mochin of GAR, the primary operator and controller is the Hesed, and the arm does not execute judgments, but only in the stretched out arm, which is stretched out only to punish the wicked in order to guard the Hochma, but not in practice, since then it is the control of the right.
When these three connections in the right hand are incorporated in the three other connections, which are harsh judgment, during the appearance of Hochma, when they must be incorporated in the stretched out arm in order to guard from the external ones, then everything is called “right,” since at that time, the Mochin of GAR are revealed and make the judgment with mercy, since revealing the judgment in the stretched out arm is done so that mercy would be revealed.
It is written, “Your right, Lord, glorious in power,” since the right is strengthened through the strength of the stretched out arm. “Your right, Lord, shatters the enemy.” It is considered that the right pushes away the enemies and subdues them, and not the left, since the left only assists in the control of the right.
321. 370,000 myriads [myriad = 10,000], which are called “right,” the number of the entirety of the Mochin, grip that right, and 185,000 myriads, which are called “the arm of the Lord,” which is the freezing of the lights in the left line for the wicked. 185 is the freezing of the lights, which is right, and it is called “the arm of the Lord,” right and left, which are right.
An arm hangs from here and from here, for the arm, too, consists of right and left. Both are called Tifferet, since Tifferet, too, consists of right and left, as it is written, “Who led them by the right of Moses, the arm of His glory.” “Who led them by the right of Moses” is right. “Arm” is left. “The arm of His glory” is when they are incorporated in each other.
322. 450 myriads of those with shields grip the left hand. They grip each finger, and in each finger there are ten thousand of those with shields. How many are they in the whole hand? The right is called “holy help,” which comes from the right arm, from the three connections in her, as it is written, “And behold, My hand with you.” A thousand and four myriads (40,000) grip this, and eighty thousand, and five hundred thousand of those with help in the whole world. They are called “The upper hand of the Lord” and “the lower hand of the Lord.”
Although in every place, the hand of the Creator is left, if they merit, it is the right of the Lord, for the hand is incorporated in the arm and becomes help, and it is called “right.” If they do not merit, the lower hand of the Lord, which is left. When harsh judgments awaken to come down to the world, it is written, “The secret of the Lord to those who fear Him.”
There are two illuminations in the left during the illumination of the GAR: 1) revealing the judgments in it, the stretched out arm, draws the Mochin of VAK in the number 450 myriads, corresponding to HGT NH in it. Everything that is in the general, is also in the particular, in every finger. Therefore, 450 myriads of those with shields grip the left hand; protecting the Hochma from the wicked ones, so they do not draw from above downward and grip each finger, for the general shines in every element. 2) The Hochma, which is drawn with the judgments, which are ten Sefirot, where in each one the Hochma, who is called one thousand, shines. There are ten thousand of those with shields, ten Sefirot of Hochma, in each finger, since revealing the Hochma is in the fingers.
There are two phases in the right during the illumination of the GAR: 1) When the left serves the right, and the right is in control. At that time, both are called “the right of the Lord.” 2) When the right assists with the revealing of the lights of Hochma in the left, meaning clothing the Hochma with its Hassadim so the Hochma can shine. At that time, it is considered that the right assists and helps the left, and it is called “holy help” that comes from the right arm, from the three connections in it, meaning assisting the illumination of Hochma in the left.
Then those HGT NH of the left, the five judgments with which the left punishes the wicked when it is in Mochin of VAK, grow now through the help in the right, and they become 500,000, for hundreds is Hassadim, and a thousand is Hochma. When five judgments clothe in Hassadim, they become 500,000.
The Mochin of the right itself are twelve discernments, HB TM, where in each one there are three lines and Malchut that receives all of them. They are three HaVaYot, with four letters in each, and Malchut that receives them. Malchut that receives them is one thousand, for the Hochma is revealed in her, and the four letters of the middle HaVaYaH are four myriads (40,000).
It was said, “A thousand and four myriads (40,000) grip this.” A thousand is Malchut; four myriads are the middle HaVaYaH, and the two them are Daat. Another eight myriads from two HaVaYot right and left, HB, and all this is in the Mochin in the right hand itself, which are HBD, and Malchut that receives them.
Five hundred thousand are added to them, which are five judgments in the left hand, which become 500,000 after their clothing in the help of the Hassadim. They are Hochma and Hassadim together, which are called 100,000, in each of the five judgments.
When harsh judgments awaken to come down to the world, when the arm of the Lord reveals her five judgments, to bring them down on the wicked, it is written here, “The secret of the Lord for those who fear Him.” Here, if the right assists in clothing them with Hassadim of its three connections, the secret of the Lord is revealed in them, which is the Hochma, to those who fear Him, those who fear judgments and are careful not to draw Hochma from above downward.
