The Holy Idra Zuta

How the Hochma of the Thirty-Two Trails Was Emanated

62. This holy Atik, the most concealed of all that are concealed, is not mentioned in the Torah and is not found, for because it is the highest Rosh of all the upper ones, it is not mentioned in the Torah, but only one Rosh without a Guf [body], as it is written in Daniel, “And the hair of his head is as clean wool,” and body, arms, and thighs are not mentioned, in order to sustain everything.

63. The corrections of the most concealed and hidden of all, which is the Keter of AA, were established in that same Moach that is the most concealed of all, HS. After it expanded and was fully established, upper Hesed emerged from the Keter of AA and expanded, and was established, and everything was incorporated in the hidden Moach, Hochma of AA. When that white is established in that light, when the upper Hesed of Keter is incorporated in HS of AA, RADLA clashes with MS [Mocha Stimaa] and shines, and elicits another Moach from the honorable Mazal, which expands and shines into thirty-two trails, which are AVI.

That Moach shines from the honorable Mazal since the Dikna is the root of the Moach of the thirty-two trails. Three upper Roshim shine in that Moach, HB, and one that contains them: Moach of the Daat. These HBD are dependent on the Mazla and are incorporated in it. It follows that all the light of Hochma that the lower ones receive, they do not receive from Hochma in the Rosh of AA, but from Hochma that expands in the Dikna of AA.

64. The honor of the Dikna, the hidden Mazal, begins to become revealed from the Moach of the thirty-two trails, since it is extended and comes from it in each degree. When they are established in all the degrees, they are established like holy Atik: Three Roshim are crowned in it. Likewise, all the degrees are in three Roshim. When they shine, all the degrees are dependent on each other in three Roshim, which are two on the right and left sides, and one that contains them in their middle. This are three lines—right, left, and middle—applied in each degree, and through which each degree bestows upon the one below it.

The Zohar explains how all the Mochin emerge from Mazla. First, HS of AA is incorporated with three Roshim: RADLA, Keter, MS. It is established from them in three lines. Then HS elicits three lines in it one after the other in Mazla, which is Dikna, in which all the judgments that come from the correction of the three lines are corrected in three sowings, Holam-Shuruk-Hirik, and in disclosure of the judgments from the dispute between right and left, which are called Se’arot. The Moach of the thirty-two trails expands and emerges from these three lines in Dikna. The Hochma in it is the illumination of Hochma of the left, which is HBD of AVI and YESHSUT, which bestow upon ZON.

The most hidden, concealed, and blocked, Keter of AA, is RADLA that shines one sweet and handsome control in the Rosh of AA. This is the Katnut [smallness/infancy] of the ascent of Malchut in Bina of RADLA. From this correction, it is diminished into VAK, and it is the dot of Holam from which the right line is established. Its corrections are corrected in that Moach that is the most concealed of all, where by this correction of RADLA, HS was diminished into VAK, the right line, which was established in MS.

Once it has expanded and been completely established, after the diminution in the right line, the Yod that went out from the Avir expanded once again, it returned to being light of Hochma, and all the diminution from before, which was done in the right line, has been corrected. That correction is the dot of Shuruk, the correction of the left line.

Afterwards, through an awakening from RADLA, the right and left in MS were incorporated in each other, and the upper Hesed, the right line, went out from Galgalta and was incorporated in MS in the middle line, which includes right and left. At that time, the illumination of MS is completed in three lines. When that white is established in this light, when Hesed is established in the light of HS, having been completed in three lines, RADLA clashed with MS and shone once more the illumination of Gadlut [greatness/adulthood] in MS, and the honorable Mazal elicited a different Moach, which spreads and shines to the thirty-two trails.

When three lines came out in MS, they shone their power in the Se’arot of Dikna one after the other, where all the judgments whose conduct is to come with a correction of three lines, came out in the Se’arot of Dikna, since Se’arot means storms and judgments. When the three lines are established in them in full, meaning when Dikna is in the thirteen qualities of Rachamim [mercy], when the illumination of MS expands in Dikna in three lines, where in each line there are HB TM, at that time, another Moach emerges from it, which is AVI. It expands and shines to the thirty-two trails, the Hochma of the other kind, Hochma of the left line, Hochma of the thirty-two trails, which is renewed and emerges from Dikna.

The thirty-two trails are ten utterances and twenty-two letters, ten Sefirot of Bina, and twenty-two letters of ZA that ascended to MAN and connected in Bina. In the ascent of ZA to Bina, a new difference between MS and Hochma of the left was made, since the middle line that contains right left together is in MS, coming from above. RADLA is the middle line, which contains Keter and MS. However, in Bina, ZA, which ascended to her to MAN, is the middle line which contains and unites the right and left in Bina. Thus, the right line in her is below the right and the left.

65. Under the name holy Atik up above, there is unknown, unattainable, and unregistered. This is RADLA, which contains everything. The two bottom Roshim, Galgalta and MS, right and left, are incorporated in it, for it unites them. At that time, everything is corrected through the two Roshim, to the right and to the left, and one that contains them and unites them with each other: RADLA. It is not counted among the Sefirot, and it is not included in them, for it is not even their Keter. Nor is it in the calculation, since it is not in the state of Hochma, which is called “calculation,” but rather in the will of the heart.

66. The place in which there is the beginning is from the illumination of holy Atik that shines from Mazla, illumination of Hochma. It expands to thirty-two sides, Hochma of the thirty-two trails that emerges from that MS, from its illumination in Dikna. What holy Atik shines at first is the Moach of the thirty-two sides, the beginning of what has been revealed and became the three Roshim, HB and Rosh that contains them, the Moach of the Daat. These three HBD expand to ZA, and from them, all the degrees shine.
