Het
Tet
Returned
Tet-Het
147.
Everything
is
built
with
the
letters
of
the
alphabet,
as
in
each
degree
that
emerged
there,
were
the
twenty-two
letters
in
the
[Hebrew]
alphabet.
Thirty-two
alphabets
went
until
Israel
stood
on
Mount
Sinai.
When
Israel
stood
on
Mount
Sinai,
the
letters
were
collected,
thirty-two
alphabets,
and
were
concealed
in
the
inversion
of
the
alphabet,
and
the
Torah
emerged
comprised
of
thirty-two
paths
of
the
upper
Hochma,
and
all
the
alphabet
was
inscribed
in
twelve
boundaries
and
twelve
tribes,
except
for
two
letters
that
departed
from
the
twelve
tribes,
and
they
are
Het-Tet,
which
were
not
seen
in
them
at
all.
148.
When
they
first
came
to
the
Land
of
Israel,
there
was
a
boycott
in
them
because
of
the
sin
of
Achan,
who
broke
the
boycott,
and
then
these
two
letters
that
departed
from
them
returned,
and
declared
and
said,
“Israel
has
sinned,”
and
these
letters
did
not
depart
from
them
in
each
and
every
generation,
although
they
were
in
the
holy
land.
149.
Until
Solomon
came
and
built
the
Temple,
and
the
worlds
settled
above
and
below
in
one
form,
where
ZON,
the
worlds
below,
rose
and
clothed
AVI,
the
worlds
above,
and
became
one
form
like
them,
since
when
the
lower
one
ascends
to
the
upper
one,
it
becomes
like
him.
At
that
time,
all
the
letters
were
straightened
and
those
two
letters
Het-Tet
that
were
inscribed
among
them
for
the
worse,
for
sin,
were
inverted
into
good,
and
returned
to
Tet-Het,
as
it
is
written,
“And
Judah
and
Israel
dwelt
safely.”
There
is
no
degree
in
which
there
are
no
lights
and
vessels.
The
vessels
of
each
degree
are
called
“letters,”
and
everything
is
built
and
attained
in
letters,
which
are
the
vessels
of
all
the
degrees.
From
the
time
when
the
Vav
of
Enosh
was
revealed,
the
middle
line,
until
the
giving
of
the
Torah,
thirty-two
alphabets
were
revealed,
thirty-two
paths
of
Hochma
[wisdom],
the
Hochma
of
the
left,
which
is
revealed
only
through
the
middle
line,
which
is
called
“Torah.”
Upon
the
giving
of
the
Torah,
that
revealing
of
the
thirty-two
paths
of
wisdom
was
completed,
and
when
Israel
stood
on
Mount
Sinai,
the
letters
assembled,
meaning
that
on
Mount
Sinai,
all
thirty-two
alphabets
assembled,
the
thirty-two
paths
of
wisdom,
and
were
completed.
However,
there
are
two
kinds
of
illumination
in
the
alphabet:
straight,
and
reversed.
When
the
alphabet
is
straight,
as
is
its
way,
the
light
shines
in
them
from
above
downward,
male
light.
In
a
reversed
alphabet,
Tav-Shin-Reish-Kof,
the
light
shines
only
from
below
upward,
female
light.
It
was
said
that
they
were
concealed
in
the
inversion
of
the
alphabet,
that
the
illumination
of
the
thirty-two
paths
of
wisdom
was
blocked
so
as
to
shine
only
in
a
reversed
alphabet,
in
which
Hochma
shines
only
from
below
upward,
and
the
illumination
from
above
downward
was
concealed.
This
is
so
because
of
the
correction
of
the
middle
line.
Thus,
the
Torah
came
out
comprised
of
thirty-two
paths
of
the
upper
Hochma,
for
then
that
Hochma
was
revealed
in
all
the
completeness.
There
are
two
points
in
Malchut:
the
key,
the
quality
of
mercy,
and
the
lock,
the
quality
of
judgment.
When
a
person
merits,
strengthening
the
right
more
than
the
left,
it
is
good.
If
he
does
not
merit
and
strengthens
the
left
over
the
right,
it
is
bad.
From
good
and
bad,
the
two
letters
Het
Tet
shine
in
Malchut
in
two
combinations,
since
Het
is
the
illumination
of
the
left,
and
Tet
is
the
illumination
of
the
right.
They
are
extended
to
Malchut
from
the
two
pipelines
right
and
left
in
Yesod
of
ZA,
and
if
one
merits
and
strengthens
the
right
over
the
left,
the
point
of
the
key
governs
and
the
point
of
the
lock
is
concealed,
and
the
combination
Tet-Het
is
formed,
where
the
Tet,
the
illumination
of
the
right,
governs,
and
the
Het,
the
illumination
of
the
left,
surrenders
to
the
right
and
becomes
concealed.
Tach
[blocked,
comprised
of
Tet-Het]
means
cover
and
concealment,
as
it
is
written,
“Their
eyes
were
Tach
[covered]
from
seeing,”
implying
the
lock,
which
was
covered
and
concealed.
If
they
do
not
merit
and
strengthen
the
left
over
the
right,
the
combination
Het-Tet
is
made,
where
the
Het,
the
left,
controls
the
right.
At
that
time,
the
point
of
the
lock
is
revealed
and
removes
all
the
lights,
and
it
is
bad.
This
is
only
in
Malchut,
but
ZA
is
the
tree
of
life,
in
which
there
is
no
grip
to
the
bad,
and
these
two
letters
Het
Tet
do
not
exist
in
it.
For
this
reason,
there
are
three
states
in
the
two
letters
Het
Tet:
1)
When
there
are
no
Het
Tet,
there
is
no
grip
to
the
bad.
This
is
in
ZA
and
in
the
twelve
tribes.
2)
When
the
letters
are
in
a
combination
of
Tet-Het,
when
the
left
prevails
over
the
right,
it
is
“if
he
does
not
merit,
it
is
bad,”
which
is
in
Malchut.
3)
When
the
letters
are
in
a
combination
of
Tet-Het,
when
the
right
prevails
over
the
left,
it
is
“if
he
merits,
it
is
good,”
which
is
in
Malchut.
Twelve
boundaries
are
an
incorporation
of
four
phases
with
one
another:
the
three
lines
of
ZA
and
Malchut
who
receives
them,
which
are
HGTM.
There
should
have
been
sixteen
areas,
since
four
times
four
is
sixteen,
but
because
Malchut
is
not
incorporated
in
them
but
only
receives,
it
is
considered
that
there
are
three
lines
here
and
Malchut,
which
are
HGTM,
with
three
lines
in
each
of
the
HGTM.
Even
in
Malchut
herself,
only
the
three
lines
that
she
receives
merit
a
name,
and
not
more.
For
this
reason,
they
are
four
phases
with
three
in
each
one,
and
they
are
twelve
and
not
sixteen.
When
these
twelve
boundaries
all
shine
in
Malchut,
they
are
called
in
her
“twelve
tribes.”
You
find
that
in
the
twelve
boundaries
and
in
the
twelve
tribes,
there
are
only
the
three
lines
of
ZA
there,
and
Malchut
is
not
regarded
among
them,
except
from
the
perspective
of
reception.
Hence,
they
do
not
have
in
them
the
letters
Het-Tet,
which
are
the
grip
of
the
shells
in
the
good
and
bad
there
are
in
Malchut,
since
ZA
is
the
tree
of
life,
in
which
evil
does
not
grip,
as
in
the
tree
of
knowledge
of
good
and
evil,
Malchut.
The
entire
alphabet
was
inscribed
in
twelve
boundaries,
which
are
HGTM,
and
in
each
of
them
three
lines,
which
are
in
ZA.
When
all
twelve
tribes
shine
only
in
Malchut,
they
are
called
“twelve
tribes,”
and
all
this
was
completed
in
the
giving
of
the
Torah,
except
for
two
letters
that
departed
from
the
twelve
tribes,
and
these
are
Het-Tet,
which
were
not
seen
in
them
at
all.
This
is
so
because
in
all
twelve
phases,
there
are
only
the
three
lines
of
ZA,
and
Malchut
does
not
merit
a
name
among
them,
but
only
in
reception
from
them.
In
ZA,
there
is
no
grip
to
good
and
bad,
to
the
two
combinations
Het-Tet
and
Tet-Het.
Hence,
these
letters
are
not
found
in
the
twelve
tribes.
In
the
completeness
of
the
giving
of
the
Torah,
there
were
no
Het
and
Tet
at
all,
and
this
is
the
first
phase
of
the
three
phases.
Until
they
first
came
to
the
Land
of
Israel,
where
the
Land
of
Israel
is
Malchut,
and
there
was
the
boycott
against
them
in
the
sin
of
Achan,
who
broke
the
boycott
and
strengthened
the
left
over
the
right.
At
that
time,
the
lock
in
Malchut
awakened
and
the
combination
Het-Tet
was
made,
and
they
declare
and
say
“Israel
has
sinned,”
that
the
combination
Het-Tet
has
been
revealed
in
Malchut,
which
is
the
meaning
of
“Israel
has
sinned,”
meaning
the
state
of
“if
he
does
not
merit,
it
is
bad,”
which
there
is
in
Malchut.
This
is
the
second
phase
of
the
three
phases.
Finally,
Solomon
came
and
these
two
letters
Het-Tet
that
were
inscribed
among
them
for
the
worse,
for
sin,
the
combination
Het-Tet,
were
inverted
into
good,
and
the
Tet-Het
returned,
implying
the
prevailing
of
the
right,
Tet,
over
the
left,
Het.
At
that
time,
if
he
merits,
it
is
good,
and
the
lock
is
covered
and
concealed,
namely
the
quality
of
judgment,
and
the
quality
of
mercy
rules
over
Malchut,
and
all
the
lights
are
revealed.
Also,
the
combination
Tet-Het
implies
the
concealing
of
the
quality
of
judgment,
from
the
words
“Their
eyes
were
Tach
[covered]
from
seeing,”
implying
covering
and
concealing.
This
is
the
third
phase
of
the
three
phases,
and
in
which
there
is
all
the
wholeness.
150.
All
the
letters
had
peace
between
them
without
any
strife,
since
the
middle
line
made
peace
between
the
right
line
and
the
left
line
in
the
letters,
and
incorporated
them
with
one
another,
and
all
the
letters
of
the
alphabet
are
whole
above,
in
ZA,
and
below,
in
Malchut.
The
upper
letters
are
whole
above,
in
ZA,
and
the
thin
letters
are
whole
below,
in
Malchut,
since
the
letters
in
Malchut
are
small.
151.
When
the
Cherubim,
ZON,
would
spread
their
wings
from
below
upward,
which
is
the
correction
of
the
screen
of
Hirik
of
the
middle
line,
called
“wings,”
the
letters
would
fly
from
below
upward.
That
is,
the
letters
that
are
left
line,
which
shines
only
from
below
upward,
while
the
letters
of
right
and
left
permeate
one
another
and
incorporate
in
one
another
with
kisses
of
love.
152.
When
the
letters
from
the
right
and
from
the
left
connect
with
one
another,
all
the
lower
and
upper
degrees,
and
all
the
worlds
connect
together
and
kiss
one
another
with
kisses
of
love,
until
they
all
become
one,
whose
name
is
“one,”
Malchut,
and
the
Creator
is
one,
who
is
ZA,
without
separation
whatsoever.
153.
All
the
kisses
of
love
are
only
so
they
will
be
one
collective,
to
be
incorporated
in
one
another
without
separation.
For
this
reason,
these
kisses
are
in
everything
and
everywhere,
to
make
everything
one
collective:
letters
in
letters,
worlds
in
worlds,
degrees
in
degrees,
a
woman
with
her
husband,
so
that
all
will
be
one.
