The
Shape
of
the
Letter
Hey
in
the
Name
HaVaYaH
111.
Explanation
of
the
shape
of
the
letters
in
the
bottom
Hey,
which
is
the
Temple,
Malchut,
the
moon,
when
she
governs
and
decorates
herself
to
the
sun,
ZA,
to
receive
light
from
him.
They
stand
as
two
lovers
facing
one
another,
and
those
virgins
with
her
decorate
themselves
and
correct
themselves
in
corrections,
one
behind
her,
to
the
west,
one
in
front
of
her,
to
the
east,
one
to
the
south,
and
one
to
the
north,
while
she
stands
in
the
middle.
112.
Seventy-two
Sanhedrin,
the
name
AB,
which
emerges
from
the
three
verses,
“And
journeyed,”
“and
came,”
“and
pitched,”
stand
as
a
round
half
circle
to
make
a
body
for
the
moon,
for
Malchut,
to
decorate
the
queen
for
her
husband.
She
stands
like
this
[
],
like
a
half
moon.
113.
The
dot
in
the
middle
corresponds
to
the
middle
line,
ZA,
since
that
dot,
Malchut,
receives
light
from
the
sun,
ZA,
to
shine
to
the
whole
body.
This
is
the
dot
that
stands
at
half
the
eye,
meaning
that
the
eye
seems
like
a
half
circle,
and
in
the
middle
of
the
dot,
which
is
called
“the
pupil,”
all
the
light
in
the
eye
is
in
that
dot
that
stands
in
the
middle
of
the
eye.
It
takes
all
the
light
to
shine
for
the
entire
eye.
Likewise,
the
moon,
Malchut,
shines
only
from
within
one
dot
that
stands
and
is
concealed
in
its
middle,
although
the
dot
is
not
seen
in
the
moon.
114.
There
is
no
circle
in
the
world
that
is
not
done
from
within
a
point
that
stands
in
its
middle.
For
this
reason,
everything
in
the
circle
of
the
moon,
too,
is
done
from
within
one
point
that
is
concealed
inside
of
it,
in
the
middle.
That
point
that
stands
in
the
middle
takes
all
the
light
and
shines
to
the
body,
and
illuminates
everything.
115.
The
secret
of
secrets
to
those
who
look
into
the
secrets
of
the
wisdom,
the
letter
Hey
that
is
half
the
body
of
the
moon,
Malchut,
is
in
a
circle
in
the
dot
that
stands
in
its
middle.
It
is
a
half-circle
since
it
is
blocked
on
this
side
and
open
on
that
side
like
a
female
that
is
open
to
the
male
to
receive
him
inside
of
her
and
to
shine
from
him
and
bond
with
him.
Hence,
she
is
open
to
him
to
receive
him,
and
then
the
Hey
is
called
a
Hey,
as
someone
who
says,
“Here
I
am,”
meaning
He,
which
means
“here.”
Hence,
when
Malchut
is
ready
to
receive
from
ZA,
it
is
as
though
she
says
to
him,
“Here
I
am,”
which
is
why
she
calls
him
He.”
In
the
depiction
of
the
Hey,
too,
there
are
three
phases:
Neshama
[soul],
Guf
[body],
and
garments
of
the
body.
When
Malchut
makes
a
coupling
with
ZA,
the
sun,
to
receive
light
from
him,
they
stand
as
two
lovers
facing
each
other,
both
of
them
as
one,
just
as
ZA
is
in
covered
Hassadim
and
receiving
from
upper
AVI,
so
is
Malchut
in
covered
Hassadim,
like
him.
This
is
regarded
as
them
being
similar
to
upper
AVI,
who
are
called
“two
lovers.”
The
illumination
of
that
coupling
that
she
receives
from
ZA
is
the
main
part
of
her
light,
and
she
is
the
phase
of
Neshama
to
Malchut.
The
Guf
[body]
of
Malchut,
the
seventy-two
Sanhedrin
who
stand
as
a
circular
half
circle,
implies
the
name
AB
that
emerges
from
the
three
verses
“and
journeyed,”
“and
came,”
and
pitched,”
HGT
of
ZA.
The
seventy-two
Sanhedrin
make
the
Guf
for
the
Malchut,
in
which
the
Neshama
dresses.
The
Guf
of
Malchut
is
made
by
them
as
a
circular
half
circle
since
so
is
the
shape
of
the
moon
before
she
is
full.
The
garments
of
Malchut
are
the
virgins
who
are
with
her,
who
decorate
and
correct
themselves.
They
are
the
degrees
extended
from
the
posterior
vessels
of
Malchut.
Since
Malchut
receives
Hochma
only
in
posterior
vessels,
she
needs
those
virgins
to
complete
her
posterior
vessels,
and
they
are
regarded
as
the
garments
for
her
Guf.
The
illumination
of
the
coupling
that
Malchut
receives
from
ZA
is
the
main
part
of
her
illumination,
her
Neshama.
It
was
said
that
the
point
in
the
middle
receives
light
from
the
sun
since
the
point
in
the
middle
is
Malchut,
who
receives
from
the
complete
coupling
of
the
internality
of
ZA,
who
is
called
“sun.”
Also,
the
moon,
Malchut,
shines
only
from
within
a
dot
that
stands
and
is
concealed
in
its
middle,
since
only
it
is
suitable
for
reception
of
the
illumination
of
the
coupling
of
ZA.
For
this
reason,
that
dot
that
stands
in
the
middle
takes
all
the
light
that
she
receives
from
the
internality
of
ZA,
from
his
complete
Ruach,
which
contains
all
the
light
in
her
because
at
that
time,
she
has
only
that
complete
light
of
Hassadim
that
she
receives
from
ZA.
For
this
reason,
it
was
said
about
the
letter
Hey
that
she
is
half
the
Guf
of
the
moon,
since
the
wholeness
of
the
moon
is
in
both
her
lights,
in
Hochma
and
in
Hassadim
together.
Since
she
receives
only
Hassadim
during
the
coupling,
she
is
discerned
as
being
at
half
her
Guf,
only
in
Hassadim.
She
is
a
half-circle
because
she
is
blocked
on
this
side,
blocked
from
receiving
Hochma,
and
open
on
that
side,
open
only
to
receive
Hassadim
from
her
husband.
For
this
reason,
she
has
only
half
her
Guf.
116.
When
she
shines
from
him
and
they
unite
with
one
another,
and
the
moon
is
filled,
that
Hey
is
filled,
and
the
moon
is
filled
with
Hochma,
too.
Then,
where
she
was
a
Hey,
half
the
moon,
she
becomes
a
[final]
Mem
[ם],
the
full
moon,
a
complete
body.
Although
during
the
coupling,
she
is
only
in
reception
of
Hassadim,
half
her
body,
the
garments,
too,
shine
in
her
from
afar
in
posterior
vessels,
who
are
her
virgins.
After
the
coupling,
when
she
has
been
filled
with
the
light
of
Hassadim,
the
illumination
of
Hochma
in
her
posterior
is
completed
and
they
are
incorporated
in
one
another.
At
that
time,
the
moon
is
full,
in
a
complete
body
from
Hassadim
and
Hochma
together,
in
a
blocked
[final]
Mem.
However,
there
are
two
phases
in
the
blocked
Mem:
1)
before
the
coupling,
when
she
is
Hochma
without
Hassadim
and
cannot
shine,
2)
after
the
coupling,
when
she
is
filled
with
Hassadim,
and
then
the
Hochma
can
shine,
as
well,
and
she
is
in
complete
wholeness.
117.
Thus,
Malchut,
the
blocked
Mem,
is
like
upper
Ima,
Bina,
as
it
is
written,
“Of
the
increase
of
His
government,”
where
the
letter
in
the
middle
of
the
letters
is
blocked
[rather
than
at
the
end
of
the
word],
indicating
the
completeness
of
Hochma
and
Hassadim
together.
Now
the
moon
stands
in
its
fullest,
the
lower
world,
Malchut,
like
the
upper
world,
Bina,
and
this
is
the
letter
Mem.
118.
The
letter
Mem
is
not
in
a
circle
since
the
moon
stands
in
its
fullest,
and
everything
of
what
she
previously
was
in
the
letter
Hey,
which
was
an
open
Hey,
at
first,
to
receive
abundance
of
Hassadim
in
completeness
from
her
husband,
after
she
is
completed
from
her
husband
with
Hassadim,
she
became
completely
full,
meaning
that
Hochma
shines
in
her,
as
well.
At
that
time,
she
becomes
the
letter
Mem,
like
the
upper
one,
which
is
the
next
world,
Bina.
For
this
reason,
there
is
an
upper
Hey,
Bina,
and
a
bottom
Hey,
Malchut,
as
well
as
an
upper
Mem,
Bina,
and
a
bottom
Mem,
Malchut,
one
opposite
the
other,
for
Malchut
is
similar
to
Bina.
This
is
one
matter,
that
the
upper
one
and
lower
one,
Bina
and
Malchut,
are
as
one.
119.
The
upper
world,
Bina,
is
initially
open
in
a
Hey.
She
began
with
an
open
Mem
[ם]
like
Malchut,
who
is
initially
in
an
open
Hey
[ה],
and
when
Bina
is
filled
with
the
upper
thirty-two
paths
of
wisdom,
and
shone
to
illuminate;
she
expands
and
is
completed
and
becomes
a
Mem.
And
everything,
Bina
and
Malchut,
are
one.
