431. “And their backs, and their height was fearsome.” Their backs are the colors of the Guf that shone and ascended in a measure from the top of the candle, Bina, to the top of the candle in the measure below, Malchut. It surrounds in four glittering colors, three lines and Malchut who receives them.
1. The color that shines her light concerning the HASHMAL above, when it shines and is concealed within its colors. This is the left line.
2. A glittering color that glitters in a glittering. This is the right line.
3. A color that glows in the embroidery of the glow of the firmament that stands over the animals. This is the middle line.
4. A color that is embroidered from all the colors and is incorporated in all of them, Malchut, who receives all three colors. This is a Guf depicted in a depiction, to be incorporated in one collective, where all the lines operate as one, and it is called “their backs.”
432. “And their height,” from the side of above, ZA. “Was fearsome” means Malchut. “And their heart” is the height of the sky, the height of ZA. “Was fearsome,” the fear he fears due to the judgments that appear in Malchut during the illumination of Hochma, which frightens and rattles everything. She is the surrounding fear, to push away the external ones so they do not approach the holy, so they do not draw Hochma from above downward. This fear surrounds the animals from below, from the side of Malchut.
433. “And their height,” meaning in the ascent of the mirror, which is illumination of Hochma, from the colors of the sky, since the colors of the sky—white, red, green—are the words “the height of the sky.” The lights are high; the height of the sky is that one who takes all the colors from the right and from the left, and incorporates them together. It is ZA, called “heaven,” the middle line. When he takes the right and left to him, he is called “the height of the sky,” for then he is the height of the lights.
434. “Their height was fearsome,” in the mirror, which is illumination of Hochma of that fear of below, Malchut, in the order of the colors of the three blazing lines that turn the appearance of a fire that is not thin to the appearance of the thin fire of above. This is what frightens everyone, and this is why “And their height,” from above, from ZA. “Their height was fearsome,” from below, from Malchut.
Through the illumination of three lines, Malchut is transformed into the form of Bina, and shines in the illumination of Hochma like the Tevuna. Although the fire of Malchut is not thin, but is the state of judgments, and the fire of Tevuna is thin, since the core of Tevuna is all Rachamim [mercies], but due to the ascent of Malchut to her, judgments are seen in her. Nevertheless, the illumination of the lines makes the two them equal.
