The Holy Idra Zuta

How ZA Is Emanated from AVI

115. The light elicited flickers and sparks to 320 sides. These sparks are called “upper worlds,” and they died immediately. Afterwards, holy Atik came out for his craft and was established in male and female, and those sparks that have quenched and died, now it all exists. From the hard candled came forth a spark, the strong hammer, which struck and produced sparks that were quenched in the first worlds. It is mixed with the pure air, and they are perfumed in one another.

Eight kings reigned in Nekudim: Daat, HGT, NHYM. Each king consists of ten Sefirot, where in each Sefira there were four phases HB TM. Thus, each king consists of forty phases, and eight times forty is 320 phases. With the death of the kings, all those 320 sparks in them broke and were scattered to every direction.

The light elicited flickers and sparks to 320 sides. Afterwards, holy Atik came out to his craft, and was established in male and female, where the left became a Nukva [female] to the right, which is the male, and the judgments on the left were sweetened in the Hesed on the right.

From the hard candle, the judgments of the left in the Nukva, Ima, the spark came out, the strong hammer. It struck and produced sparks of the first worlds, the judgments of Hochma of the left. These caused the breaking of the vessels because they were drawn from above downward. The spark that emerged from Ima mixes with the Hassadim of Abba, pure air, the male, and they are perfumed in one another.

After the Hochma of the left, the Nukva, is incorporated and mixes with the Hassadim of the right, the male, she is in all the wholeness. At that time, the Hassadim shine from above downward, and Hochma shines from below upward, which is all that is desired.

116. Now the emergence of ZA from AVI is explained. Abba connects to Ima, male to female, as Abba was concealed in that pure air, Hassadim, from the Ruach that is concealed in Atik Yomin, and incorporated the spark that comes out from the hard candle that is concealed in the abdomen of Ima, the judgments of the left in Ima. When they two connected and became incorporated in one another, when Hochma of Ima was incorporated in the Hassadim of Abba, and the other way around, one strong skull came forth, the Rosh of ZA, and expanded at its sides. It is like holy Atik, when three Roshim [heads] were in one: RADLA, Kitra [Keter], and HS.

The correction is the incorporation of the judgments of the left in the Hassadim of the right. From this coupling came forth the skull of ZA in three Mochin HBD. The connection of AVI is through the MAN of the screen of Hirik, which ZA raises. Were it not for that element, the left would not connect to the right. When the two of them connected and became incorporated in one another through ZA, which became a middle line between them, three lines HBD emerged in AVI from Keter. At that time, one strong skull came out, since then HBD of ZA, the Rosh of ZA, was emanated.

Because ZA caused the three Mochin HBD in AVI, he, too, was rewarded with those three Mochin HBD, which expanded into three directions—right, left, and middle—HBD in the Rosh of ZA.

There is a difference between the three Roshim of Atik, where the middle line is above, RADLA, while here the middle line is below, ZA. This is so because there are no judgments in the three Roshim of Atik, Galgalta on the right, HS on the left, and RADLA on top of them in the middle. Rather, all that was established there was in order for it to shine and come out this way below. For this reason, the incorporation of right and left through the upper one, RADLA, is done there, where Keter is regarded as the middle line, and HB underneath him as right and left.

Conversely, in the Se’arot Rosh and in Dikna, where the judgments have already emerged, the right and left could not unite and incorporate in one another, except through the force of the screen of Hirik on the left line that rises from below. Through it, the left surrenders and unites with the right. The power of the upper one is not enough for the incorporation of right and left. For this reason, ZA was rewarded with all three Mochin of AVI because he caused their emergence. Where it not for his MAN from the screen of Hirik, the right and left would not have been incorporated in AVI. And because three come out of one, one is rewarded with the three of them.
