156. There are capillaries of the hair of the one of whom it is written in Daniel, “And Atik Yomin sat.” His attire is as white as snow, and his hair is as clean wool. He is all Rachamim [mercy]. There is not a hair that does not have a fountain, and the fountain is Yod. A long hair is Vav, a creased hair is small Hey. A long hair creased at the bottom is the first Hey of HaVaYaH, Bina, in whom there are judgment and mercy. A creased hair that is not long is the bottom Hey of HaVaYaH, who is all judgment.
157. Each hair is a whole world. It is written about them, “And countless maidens.” For this reason, every righteous one has a world in and of himself, one hair of the Creator, which is a whole world. We learn about it, “The Creator is meticulous with the righteous even as a hairsbreadth.”
158. The morning prayer, when all the litigants depart, is all Rachamim, and it is not detained from entering. A green hair, Tifferet, has no judgment at all there, since green hairs are beautiful, they comprise of white and red; they are all mercy, since after the left line, judgment, is incorporated in the right, it, too, becomes Rachamim. When the prayer rises in them, all the armies of the hairs welcome her with joy and love.
159. Black hairs are beautiful. Each hair of his is called “his world,” as it is written, “and countless maidens.” They are the armies of Shabbat. The Shabbat prayer is tantamount to the Torah, and curls over curls of angels hanging from them are called as it is written, “His locks are wavy.”
160. White hair is from the side of Hesed; red hair is from the side of Gevura; green hair is from the side of Tifferet; black hair is from the side of Malchut, of whom it is written, “I am black, and lovely. There are four corrections of hairs: white, red, green, and black, on which the four letters HaVaYaH are present.
161. Thirteen corrections are hanging from the hairs: four corrections HGTM, three lines and Malchut who receives them, which are four sides south, north, east, and west. When they are incorporated with each other, there are three to each of the four sides, meaning three lines in each of the HGTM, which are twelve, and with itself, they are thirteen.
They are Vav-Aleph-Vav, which are thirteen in Gematria, and it is written about them, “His locks are wavy.” These are the thirteen corrections in the three sides of the head, right and left of the head, and the back of the head, four on each side, and with itself, they are thirteen.
Above, in the Rosh, at half the Rosh, in the middle of the Rosh, the ways in the hair are divided into thirty-two paths in the count Yod-Vav-Dalet Hey-Aleph Hey-Aleph, and with the thirteen corrections in the hairs, which are Vav-Aleph-Vav, they are Yod-Vav-Dalet Hey-Aleph Vav-Aleph-Vav Hey-Aleph.” All the paths are in the sea, which is the Moach [brain], and they are the thirty-two paths of wisdom that shine in Bina. These corrections are in the Rosh of the Guf [body] in the Garden of Eden, and it has all the corrections in it. Thus far the God-fearing.
The name HaVaYaH with a filling of letters Aleph is ZA. He is called Adam because HaVaYaH filled with letters Aleph is MA in Gematria (45), like the number of Adam [in Hebrew]. That number is divided into two phases: the phase of thirteen, Vav-Aleph-Vav, and the phase of thirty-two, Yod-Vav-Dalet Hey-Aleph Hey-Aleph.
The difference between them is in the presence of Malchut, since the root of both the number thirty-two, and the number thirteen is from the four letters HaVaYaH, which is three lines, Yod-Hey-Vav, and Malchut who receives them. However, when these four are incorporated in one another, there are two manners of incorporation.
1. Simple incorporation, where each of the four is incorporated with all four, and they are sixteen. This manner is the thirty-two paths of wisdom, since there are four faces in each animal, they are incorporated in one another, and they are sixteen faces. Also, each of the animals that are incorporated in one another has four wings, so they are sixteen wings, thus thirty-two.
The reason we count the faces and the wings separately is that the root of everything is the middle line, which unites and completes the right and the left, which are Yod-Hey that bestows upon the bottom Hey. The middle line is therefore called “the measuring line,” since it is a Vav and is extended from the measure, which is Yod, the screen.
For this reason, two phases of sixteen are discerned: Sixteen faces are discerned from the side of the Vav, and from the side of the Yod, the screen in that Malchut who is adhered to him, sixteen wings are discerned.
2. Incorporation where each of the four is incorporated only with three, since in this phase, the Malchut disappears even in Malchut herself, since even in Malchut, there are not more than three lines, much less in each of the three lines, there are no more than three lines. Hence, they are four times three, which are twelve, and Malchut herself who is concealed in the Aleph with a filling of Vav-Aleph-Vav.
This explains the two manners of incorporation, that if we consider Malchut in the incorporation, too, they are four times four, which are sixteen, and sixteen in the faces with sixteen in the wings are thirty-two. If we do not consider Malchut, they are four times three, which are twelve, and with itself, thirteen.
Why is Malchut included in the incorporation in the thirty-two paths, and in the thirteen, Malchut is not considered? The root of the matters is in the Mochin, since in ZA, there are two Mochin: 1) Mochin that are extended from AVI which are four Mochin, HB, the right of Daat, which is ZA, and the left of Daat, which is Malchut. 2) Mochin of YESHSUT, which are only three Mochin, HBD.
In Mochin of AVI, only Hassadim are bestowed, and the Yod, Malchut, does not exit from their Avir [air]. Hence, there are two phases in the middle line: right of Daat, which is ZA, and left of Daat, which is Malchut. Conversely, in YESHSUT, where Malchut exits their Avir and the middle line unites the right and the left, to draw Hochma from them, Malchut is therefore incorporated and disappears in ZA, in the screen of Hirik, and is not seen in and of herself. Hence, there are no more than three Mochin HBD.
For this reason, two kinds of incorporation of three lines and Malchut who receives them are extended from them: 1) Incorporation from the side of Mochin of AVI, which are Hassadim. Malchut is also included in the incorporation, and in each of the four there are all four, and they are sixteen phases. And with the sixteen wings, they are thirty-two paths. 2) The incorporation extended from the side of the Mochin of YESHSUT, which are Hochma. In them, even Malchut is not regarded as a fourth Moach even in the Mochin, and there are only three Mochin there. Hence, the incorporation of the four that is extended from them, Malchut is not included in the incorporation, and there are only three times four there, which are twelve, and with itself, they are thirteen, like the count of Vav-Aleph-Vav of HaVaYaH.
In the Rosh, there are white trails and there are hairs. The hairs bestow Hochma, the white trails bestow Hassadim, since Hochma is revealed only with judgments for the wicked, who wish to draw the Hochma from above downward. Therefore, their bestowal is connected to the hairs, since Se’arot [hairs] are from the word Sa’arot [storms], which are judgments.
However, the white trails between the hairs indicate bestowal of Hassadim, in which there is no judgment, and which are white. Although in ZA, Hassadim are regarded as VAK without a Rosh, the Hassadim that are bestowed, the white trails, are regarded as GAR since they are incorporated with the hairs, in which there is abundance of Hochma.
There are two bestowals in the Rosh: bestowal of Hassadim, white trails, and bestowal of Hochma, the hairs. The bestowal of white trails is extended from AVI, which are four Mochin. The bestowal of hairs is extended from YESHSUT, in which there are three Mochin. You find that the bestowal of white trails is in thirty-two paths, and the bestowal of the hairs is in thirteen corrections, which are Vav-Aleph-Vav.
The four letters HaVaYaH correspond to three lines, Yod-Hey-Vav, and Malchut who receives them, the bottom Hey. In these four corrections, there are two kinds of incorporation, where in the bestowal of Hochma, Malchut is not included in the incorporation, and each of the four incorporates only three, which are Vav-Aleph-Vav of HaVaYaH, which is thirteen in Gematria.
Thirteen corrections are hanging from the hairs, since the hairs, which are bestowal of Hochma that is extended from YESHSUT, Malchut is not included there in the incorporation, and there are only thirteen corrections there, three to each of the four sides, and with itself, they are thirteen. They are Vav-Aleph-Vav of HaVaYaH, which is thirteen in Gematria, implying these thirteen corrections. All this is in the hairs, which are bestowal of Hochma that is extended from YESHSUT.
However, in white trails, in the white between the hairs—whose root is the white trail in the middle of the Rosh [head], from which the hairs divide to right and left, which is bestowal of Hassadim that are extended from upper AVI—Malchut enters in the incorporation of the four corrections, and each of the four contains all four, which are sixteen, where sixteen faces and sixteen wings are thirty-two.
Above, in the Rosh, at half the Rosh, in the white trail that halves the hair of the head in the middle of the Rosh, trails divide in the hairs into thirty-two paths, in the count Yod-Vav-Dalet Hey-Aleph Hey-Aleph, since because they are bestowal of Hassadim from upper AVI, Malchut is included in the incorporation of the four corrections, and they are sixteen faces and sixteen wings, which are thirty-two paths. They are as the count of Yod-Vav-Dalet Hey-Aleph Hey-Aleph, which are thirty-two in Gematria.
As in the name HaVaYaH, there are two phases, thirteen and thirty-two, which are Vav-Aleph-Vav of HaVaYaH, and Yod-Vav-Dalet Hey-Aleph Hey-Aleph, where the Mochin of ZA are in two phases, AVI and YESHSUT, so the incorporation of the lines comes in two phases, where from the side of upper AVI, they are Yod-Vav-Dalet Hey-Aleph Hey-Aleph, which are thirty-two paths in Gematria, and from the side of YESHSUT, they are Vav-Aleph-Vav, which is thirteen in Gematria. Vav-Aleph-Vav shines in the hairs, and Yod-Vav-Dalet Hey-Aleph Hey-Aleph shine in the division of the hairs and in the white trails between the hairs.
