91. “And the house, when it was being built, was built with stone completed at the quarry.” “And the house, when it was being built,” meaning when the male and female, ZA and Malchut, connect together, since “the house” is Malchut, “when it was being built” is the unification of Malchut with ZA, then “stone completed,” meaning that Malchut, called “complete stone,” is completed with what it needed.
It was not completed until it was journeyed, when the Creator, ZA, split it from ZA and established it and decorated it and brought it to the man, ZA, HaVaYaH filled with the letters Aleph, which is man [Adam] in Gematria (45), and then it was built, completed in every sense.
When ZA and Malchut connected with each other, all the other spirits and all the bad judgments moved away from there, and did not approach the Temple, Malchut, as it is written, “and neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built,” which are all the kinds of bad judgments, since they all came and vanished inside the hole of the great abyss, which is the hole of Bina, who makes all the judgments vanish, since the Temple below was built and the hall was erected on its foundation. At that time, The Song of Songs was revealed, for there was a need to connect a Temple with a Temple, Malchut with Bina, so they clothe one another.
93. When Moses was in the desert because of the iniquities of Israel, the coupling of Moses was connecting to him, meaning that the coupling of ZA and Malchut were connecting through him in posterior. The male and female were connecting together, meaning ZA and Malchut were connecting in posterior. Then, “and the house, while it was being built,” meaning that the construction of the Nukva [female], the house, was bit-by-bit.
94. When Israel crossed the Jordan and Moses passed away, the Creator split it from ZA and established it in the tabernacle of Shiloh until she was completed in the everlasting house, in the Temple that Solomon had made, and connected to King Solomon, and the worlds, ZA and Malchut, were in a coupling face-to-face. Then, it “was built with stone completed at the quarry,” meaning that Malchut, the stone, was complete. “Journey” means that it was not in one, fixed place, but that it had two states, and it was uprooted from state one and planted in state two, and then it is built properly.
95. At that time, all the bad kinds and all the evil spirits passed away from the worlds and did not control at all, as it is written, “and neither hammer nor axe or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.”
96. When everyone passed from the world, and the wife with her husband remained face-to-face, Malchut with ZA, The Song of Songs was revealed. This is “The song of songs that is for Solomon,” without any mixture of the Sitra Achra. “That is for Solomon” means that she was face-to-face. “That is for Solomon,” meaning Malchut was uprooted from state one, when she was in posterior, and was planted in state two, face-to-face, in a place where all the peace is His, Bina.
97. Elijah said to Rabbi Shimon: “Rabbi, say your words, and I will speak after you, since from me and from you, the matter will be clarified. We have been given permission from the most ancient for these secrets to be revealed from below and from above, you—corresponding to the lower secrets, and I—corresponding to the upper secrets.
98. “In your life, Rabbi, you have great importance because all your words will be written above before Atik Yomin, and my words will not be written above. Rather, my words will be written in this world by you. Your words will be written above, and my words below; happy are you righteous in this world, and happy are you in the next world.
