The
Holy
Idra
Rabah
A
Clean
Cover
311.
The
male
expanded
and
was
established
in
his
corrections,
the
correction
of
a
clean
cover,
and
this
becomes
a
clean
Ammah
[cubit].
The
length
of
the
Ammah
is
248
worlds,
and
they
all
hang
in
the
mouth
of
the
Ammah,
called
Yod.
When
the
Yod
is
revealed,
being
the
mouth
of
the
Ammah,
the
upper
Hesed
is
revealed.
This
Ammah
is
called
Hesed,
and
it
is
hanging
in
the
mouth
of
this
Ammah.
But
it
is
not
called
Hesed
until
the
Yod
of
the
mouth
of
the
Ammah
is
revealed.
After
The
Zohar
explained
the
first
Gadlut
of
ZA,
the
expansion
of
his
NHY,
and
clarified
the
construction
of
the
Nukva
in
the
first
state,
which
is
all
five
Gevurot
of
the
left,
it
now
explains
the
second
Gadlut
of
ZA,
discerned
mainly
in
the
correction
of
the
Yesod,
which
was
fit
for
the
birth
of
the
souls
through
his
coupling
with
the
Nukva.
The
origin
of
the
difference
is
that
NHY
of
the
first
Gadlut
are
all
Hassadim
and
there
is
no
disclosure
of
Hochma
in
the
left
in
them.
Even
the
left
side
in
it
becomes
the
side
of
Rachamim,
causing
the
emergence
of
Hassadim.
But
now,
in
the
second
Gadlut
of
ZA,
the
correction
of
Yesod
was
made,
which
is
the
middle
line
in
NHY
of
the
second
Gadlut,
for
Hochma,
too,
to
be
revealed
with
the
Hassadim.
This
correction
is
called
“revealing
the
mouth
of
the
Ammah,”
Ateret
Yesod,
who
is
called
Yod,
which
is
Malchut
that
receives
from
the
three
lines
NHY.
The
Hochma
is
revealed
in
Malchut;
this
is
why
she
is
called
Ateret
Yesod,
Yod,
implying
the
bottom
Hochma.
However,
the
core
of
the
name
“bottom
Hochma”
is
not
in
Ateret
Yesod
of
ZA,
but
in
the
separated
Nukva.
The
main
difference
between
the
first
Gadlut
and
the
second
Gadlut
is
that
in
the
NHY
of
the
first
Gadlut,
there
is
no
disclosure
to
the
Hochma
in
the
left,
since
even
the
left
that
operates
there
causes
Hassadim.
However,
in
the
NHY
of
the
second
Gadlut,
there
is
disclosure
for
both
Hassadim
and
Hochma.
It
is
also
known
that
revealing
the
illumination
of
Hochma
in
the
left
leads
to
purity.
The
male
expanded
and
was
established
in
his
corrections,
in
the
corrections
of
the
second
Gadlut,
the
correction
of
a
clean
cover.
This
is
so
because
the
middle
line,
which
bestows
Hochma,
bestows
only
with
a
cover
that
covers
the
GAR
of
Hochma,
since
the
cover
influences
only
from
below
upward,
which
is
VAK
of
Hochma,
and
this
is
a
clean
cover.
However,
if
the
cover
completely
stalls
the
bestowal
of
Hochma,
it
is
simply
called
a
cover,
and
not
a
clean
cover.”
This
becomes
a
clean
Ammah,
where
Yesod
itself,
which
is
Hesed,
is
called
a
“clean
Ammah,”
since
it
bestows
Hochma,
as
well.
Purity
comes
only
through
revealing
of
Hochma.
Hence,
in
the
first
Gadlut,
they
were
still
not
regarded
as
a
clean
cover
and
a
clean
Ammah
since
the
Hochma
was
completely
concealed
there.
The
number
248
is
a
disclosure
of
the
Mochin
of
VAK,
the
words
“My
memorial”
with
Vav-Hey,
which
is
a
commandment
to
reveal.
Why
does
it
call
them
248
corrections
in
Tifferet,
and
248
ways
in
the
Nukva,
and
248
worlds
in
Yesod?
It
is
because
in
ZA,
these
248
still
did
not
operate
at
all,
since
the
Hochma
implied
in
the
248
is
still
not
revealed
there.
Rather,
the
root
of
the
corrections
of
those
248
was
made
there,
so
when
they
reveal
the
Hochma,
they
will
reveal
only
through
these
corrections.
However,
they
still
did
not
operate
so
as
to
conceal
the
GAR
of
Hochma
since
the
VAK
of
Hochma
had
not
been
revealed
there,
too,
which
is
why
they
are
called
there
248
corrections.
But
here,
in
Yesod
of
the
second
Gadlut,
when
they
already
operate
to
reveal
the
VAK
of
Hochma,
they
are
therefore
called
248
worlds,
from
the
word
He’elem
[concealment],
since
they
conceal
the
GAR
of
Hochma.
However,
the
place
of
revealing
the
VAK
of
Hochma
is
not
in
Yesod
but
in
Malchut;
this
is
why
they
are
called
in
it
VAK
ways,
since
ways
are
made
in
her
to
reveal
VAK
of
Hochma.
The
length
of
that
Ammah,
meaning
the
measure
of
Hochma
that
is
revealed
through
the
Yesod,
since
Yesod
implies
Hochma,
is
248.
This
is
the
measure
of
VAK
of
Hochma.
They
are
all
hanging
from
the
mouth
of
the
Ammah,
called
Yod,
in
the
Ateret
Yesod,
regarded
as
Malchut,
who
receives
from
all
three
lines
NHY.
In
her,
there
is
a
place
for
revealing
the
248
worlds,
which
is
why
they
are
called
in
her
248
ways.
When
the
Yod
is
revealed,
which
is
the
mouth
of
the
Ammah,
the
upper
Hesed
is
revealed,
Hesed
of
upper
AVI,
called
“pure
air.”
This
is
so
because
after
the
Hochma
is
revealed,
the
Yesod
in
Yesod
is
in
a
state
of
pure
air.
But
before
the
Hochma
is
revealed,
even
though
it
receives
Hesed
of
upper
AVI,
which
is
pure
air,
it
becomes
simple
Hesed
in
it,
which
is
not
pure,
since
it
lacks
Hochma.
Also,
it
is
not
called
Hesed,
which
is
high
and
pure
Hesed,
until
the
Yod
is
revealed,
the
Ateret
Yesod
called
the
“mouth
of
the
Ammah,”
disclosure
of
Hochma.
At
that
time,
Yesod
itself
is
called
“complete
upper
Hesed.”
312.
Abraham
is
not
called
complete
in
this
Hesed
until
the
Yod
of
the
Ammah
is
revealed,
Ateret
Yesod.
Once
it
has
been
revealed,
he
is
called
complete,
as
it
is
written,
“Walk
before
Me
and
be
Tamim
[whole],”
and
it
is
written,
“I
was
Tamim
[whole]
before
Him,
and
I
kept
myself
from
my
iniquity.”
Anyone
who
reveals
the
Yod,
meaning
reveals
the
Hochma
in
Ateret
Yesod
and
is
careful
not
to
let
the
Yod
into
another
authority,
that
of
the
Sitra
Achra,
will
be
complete
for
the
next
world
and
will
be
bundled
in
the
bundle
of
the
living.
His
soul
will
be
incorporated
in
Malchut,
who
is
called
“the
bundle
of
the
living,”
since
the
three
lines
connect
in
her
into
one
bundle.
It
is
written
about
the
other
authority,
“He
had
intercourse
with
a
daughter
of
a
foreign
god,”
who
is
Malchut
of
the
Sitra
Achra,
which
draws
the
Hochma
from
above
downward.
This
is
why
it
is
written,
“And
I
will
be
whole
to
Him,”
since
he
is
whole
in
revealing
the
Yod
in
Ateret
Yesod,
which
shines
from
below
upward.
At
that
time,
“And
I
kept
myself
from
my
iniquity,”
not
to
cling
to
a
daughter
of
a
foreign
god.
313.
When
this
Ammah
expanded,
the
side
of
Gevura
expanded
from
the
Gevurot
of
the
left
in
the
Nukva,
which
are
five
Gevurot
HGT
NH
of
the
left,
and
settled
in
one
place
in
the
Nukva,
and
was
registered
in
pubes,
the
cover
of
the
whole
body
of
the
Nukva.
In
that
place,
it
is
called
the
pubes
of
everything,
a
place
to
conceal
that
Ammah,
who
is
called
Hesed,
in
order
to
sweeten
this
Gevura,
which
contains
five
Gevurot,
in
this
Hesed,
which
contains
five
Hassadim.
Hesed
is
right;
Gevura
is
left.
They
are
perfumed
in
one
another
and
it
is
called
Adam
[man],
who
consists
of
two
sides.
For
this
reason,
there
are
right
and
left,
judgment
and
mercy,
in
all
the
Sefirot.
There
are
two
states
in
the
Nukva
of
ZA:
1)
When
she
is
in
the
phase
of
posterior
NRN
of
ZA,
she
has
the
left
side
without
the
right,
Hochma
without
Hassadim.
At
that
time,
even
the
Hochma
she
has
cannot
shine.
This
is
the
complaining
of
the
moon.
2)
After
the
sowing
off
and
after
she
is
diminished
into
a
dot,
she
is
rebuilt
in
a
way
that
she
has
nothing
of
her
own,
that
she
does
not
have
even
the
Hochma
of
the
left
side,
and
she
must
receive
everything
from
ZA.
She
must
receive
from
Yesod
of
ZA
even
the
Hochma
on
the
left.
When
that
Ammah
has
expanded,
when
it
expanded
into
248
worlds,
in
the
matter
of
“My
memorial”
with
Vav-Hey,
it
expanded
from
Yesod:
First,
the
side
of
Gevura,
from
the
Gevurot
that
belong
to
the
Nukva,
the
illumination
of
Hochma
on
the
left
line,
and
settled
in
one
place
in
the
Nukva.
The
left
side
was
received
from
the
Yesod
of
Yesod
of
the
Nukva,
where
there
is
the
correction
of
the
screen
of
Malchut
which
prevents
shining
from
above
downward,
but
only
from
below
upward
in
the
cover
on
the
light
It
follows
that
the
illumination
of
Hochma
of
the
left
side
that
Yesod
of
ZA
bestowed
upon
her
shines
from
the
Yesod
of
Nukva
and
above
throughout
the
Guf
of
the
Nukva.
Along
with
the
illumination
of
Hochma
that
ascends
from
the
Yesod
of
Nukva
from
below
upward,
a
clean
cover
is
also
extended,
a
cover
from
the
screen
in
Yesod
of
Nukva,
which
covers
the
lights
so
they
are
drawn
once
more
from
above
downward.
And
was
registered
in
pubes,
in
the
screen
in
Yesod
of
Nukva,
the
cover
of
the
whole
Guf
of
the
Nukva.
Along
with
the
illumination
of
Hochma
that
shines
from
Yesod
of
Nukva
from
below
upward
throughout
her
body,
a
cover
rises,
too,
from
the
screen
of
the
Yesod
of
Nukva,
who
guards
the
lights
from
being
drawn
from
above
downward.
In
that
place
begins
the
pubes
of
everything,
since
there,
there
is
a
place
for
the
grip
of
the
external
ones,
so
they
do
not
draw
the
illumination
of
Hochma
from
above
downward.
For
this
reason,
it
must
be
covered
and
guarded
so
as
not
to
reveal
the
pubes
and
the
external
ones
will
grip
it.
She
must
conceal
the
place
so
it
is
dedicated
solely
to
Yesod
of
ZA,
the
middle
line,
who
will
bestow
Hesed
in
her.
If
there
is
fear
of
a
grip
of
the
external
ones,
Yesod
of
ZA
will
not
unite
with
her.
In
that
place,
it
is
called
the
pubes
of
everything,
a
place
to
conceal
that
Ammah,
who
is
called
Hesed,
in
order
to
sweeten
that
Gevura,
which
consist
of
five
Gevurot,
in
that
Hesed,
which
consist
of
five
Hassadim,
in
order
for
Hochma
to
clothe
in
Hassadim,
and
then
the
two
of
them
are
completed:
Yesod
of
ZA
that
comprises
five
Hassadim,
and
Yesod
of
Nukva
that
comprises
five
Gevurot,
Hesed
and
Gevura,
for
each
and
every
element
comprises
both
of
them.
