192. After The Zohar explains the construction of GAR of lights and NHY of the vessels of ZA, by which it became suitable for engendering souls, it explains the coupling of ZON face-to-face. It is written, “For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place.” After the queen was separated from the adhesion of the posterior and connected to the king face-to-face on the night of Shabbat [Sabbath], everything became one body. Then the Creator sits in His throne, and everything is called a “complete name,” a “holy name.” I have raised all those things for this day so as to be crowned in them for the next world, and now they are revealed here. Happy am I with them.
193. When this queen connects with the king, all the worlds are blessed and are in complete joy. As the male consists of three lines, and the beginning is from three, HBD, so the body is of three, HGT, and the Sium [end] of the whole body is also like that, NHY. The queen is blessed only in the inclusion of these three, NHY, since her toot in ZA begins in the place of the Chazeh, which is why all she has is from the Chazeh of ZA and below.
She is perfumed and blessed from a place called the “Holy of Holies of below,” which is Yesod, since AA and AVI are called the “Holy of Holies of above,” and Yesod of Malchut is called the “Holy of Holies of below,” as it is written, “For there the Lord commanded the blessing,” in Zion, called the “Holy of Holies.” They are two degrees above and below, Zion and Jerusalem. Yesod of Malchut is called Zion, Malchut of Malchut is called Jerusalem, and Zion is called the “Holy of Holies.”
194. For this reason, there is no permission to enter the Holy of Holies in this world except for the High Priest, who comes from the side of Hesed, because to that place of above, in Yesod of Malchut called Zion, only the one called Hesed of ZA, the phase of High Priest, enters the Holy of Holies, and Malchut is perfumed.
That Holy of Holies is blessed deep inside, it is the place called Zion. Zion and Jerusalem are two degrees: Zion is mercy, sentence, and Jerusalem is judgment, justice.
195. All the passion of the male for Malchut is in Zion. It is called “blessing” because blessings come out from there to all the worlds, and all are blessed. Zion is called “holy,” and all the holies, the holy lights of the male, ZA, enter Zion. They all come from the upper Rosh of Galgalta of the male, from GAR of Haya of ZA, from the side of the upper Mochin that are in it.
That blessing is extended from the Mochin to all the organs of the body, to HGT, until the hosts, NH, where that whole abundance that is extended from the whole Guf is collected in NH. This is why they are called “hosts,” since all the upper and lower armies in the three worlds BYA come out from NH.
After the abundance is accumulated in NH, it is placed in the holy Yesod, which is all white, which is why it is called Hesed. That Hesed enters the Holy of Holies, as it is written, “For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life forevermore.”
