57. Red eyes of the shell, opposite the red eyes of the holiness, take the redness from the resin that burns them with the flame of the evil Mercury. They become red by Mars of the evil side, since the two degrees of the evil Mercury and Planet Mars of the Sitra Achra are from the nation of Esau, who is red from the side of the degree of Planet Mars.
It was said about his children that they count the days and months and years by the sun; therefore, when the sun eclipses, when her light dims, it is a bad sign for the nations of the world, since the eclipse of the sun is for the nations of the world.
58. The Torah is black, as it is written about her, “I am black and lovely.” That blackness is an eclipse of the sun from the side of holiness. The Torah is called “sun,” and the blackness is caused by Planet Saturn from the evil side, who is Lilit, a black vessel, and her children, who are the eclipse of Israel.
59. Mars from the evil side causes the eclipse of the good moon of Jacob. That Mars is from the side of Esau. Mars from the good side causes the eclipse of the evil moon, by which the nation of Ishmael counts.
60. The eclipse in the eyes, in the red in them, and in the red in the flesh of their eyebrows, in the flesh of the eyelids around the eyes, is because of the Mercury that burns in them, as it burns them and they pour out tears and become red. They are all an eclipse because of Mars. These are the eyes that grow creased by dryness, since the resin burned them and they have become creased, and the red eyes of the other side.
61. Beware of one who has red eyes; he sheds blood. If he repents, his bloodshed will be under the commandment of the Torah, and he will be a butcher or a Mohel [one who performs circumcision].
62. That man is short in his face, in his nose, in his neck, in his body, in his arms, and in his legs, the opposite of the one with white eyes, who is long in his face, in his nose, in his neck, in his body, in his arms, and in his legs. This one is mercy, and the one with red eyes is judgment.
63. Red eyes of the pure side are the eyes of David. It is written about him, “And he was ruddy, with pretty eyes and good-looking.” His hair is green like the color of the sun from the good side. His face is red, from the side of Planet Mars from the good side.
64. There were seven kinds of colors of gold in David’s hair: closed gold, the gold of Ophir, gold of Parvaim, slaughtered gold, pure gold, glittering gold, gold of Tarshish. They are seven kinds of gold, since seven Sefirot are incorporated in them. His hair was short, and all his organs where short, from the side of the judgments in the blowing of Shevarim [one of the ways to blow the Shofar]. For this reason, David is the small one, and his degree is Hod, which travels from the Sefira Gevura, meaning on the left line.
65. But white eyes travel in Netzah and in Hesed, on the right line, and are long. Also, the lines of the forehead are all long, from the side of the Tkiaa [another way to blow the Shofar]. However, the lines of the forehead of a short man are short, in the matter of Shevarim, and he has a red impression under the left arm or on the left arm, or on the left shin.
66. One who is born on the first hour of the second day, which is the degree of Gevura, will be strong in his inclination if he engages in oral Torah. Malchut is Mercury from the good side, and she is the oral Torah, from the side of Gevura, and Malchut is the holy moon, who is called “the written Torah,” from the side of Hesed.
67. The sun, from the evil side, is Hell, which was created on the second day. The red comes out on the side of the degree of Esau, although later, she takes from all the colors: white, green, and black. The one who is the strongest overcomes and governs, and it is named after it.
That is, in each side, there are all four colors. However, Hesed governs on the right side, white, and they are all called white. Gevura governs on the left side, red, and they are all called red.
68. This order is according to the correction of the upper Hochma, but astronomers do not take the stars in this order, but according to their governance, in the way of the calculation.
69. Red eyes are a Merkava [chariot/structure] to the holy animal called ox. It is written about it, “And the face of an ox on the left to the four of them,” which are the four colors of the eyes. The governance over these four colors is red, the color of the left, ox. Hence, they are all called “red eyes.”
But white eyes, whose Merkava is a lion, the governance of Hesed, is white. Although there are four colors in it, they are all called white.
70. A lion is Michael, Hesed. An ox is Gabriel, Gevura. One who is born at the beginning of the hour of the governance of the ox, at the beginning of the first hour on the second day, will be rich in gold and in all kinds of red.
The name HaVaYaH shines in white eyes, mercy. We learn about it, “He who wishes to grow wise will go south,” directing his prayer toward the right line, south, Hesed. The name ADNI shines in red eyes, and we learn about it, “He who wishes to become rich will go north,” directing his prayer to the left line, north, Gevura.
71. One who is born at midnight, on the first hour of the second day, Gevura, will be medium in wealth. One who is born at the end of the first hour of the second day is from the tail of an ox, and he will be poor.
72. The days of each one are divided into three sides, NRN. The Neshama is from the throne, from the world of Beria. She is a Merkava in the Rosh of every star and sign. The Ruach is from the angels, from the world of Yetzira, where there are the angels. It is a Merkava in the middle of every star and sign. The Nefesh is a partner of the beast and the fowls in the world of Assiya, and of all the passions of the lowly world; she is a Merkava at the end of every hour and at the end of every star and sign.
73. From the side of the beastly soul, man’s days are short, few, and bad. All of man’s days, which are in poverty, affliction, and duress, are not life, especially if the days are without Torah and commandments, then they are not life.
74a. If he repents, although he is at the tail of a lamb or an ox, for in each sign there is the phase of the beastly soul, the Creator adds to him an added spirit from the angels, and he ascends from the tail of the signs into being medium, in the middle of each star and sign, like the phase of Ruach. If he is rewarded more with repentance in his thought, the Creator gives him a soul from the throne, and he rises into being the head at the beginning of each star and sign, like the phase of Neshama.
74b. For this reason, Israel has no sign, and although he was born at the beginning of the hour and he is at the head of every star and sign, and he spoiled his actions, the Creator lowered him from the Rosh to the Guf [body], to be medium, in the middle of each star and sign. If he spoils his actions more, He lowers him to the end of each and every sign. And the fact that he is at the end of every sign, he is dependent on the sign, and the sign rides him and governs him. But when his soul governs and rides over the sign, the sign is subordinate to the one who rides it.
74c. If the sign that is subordinate to the rider governs him, it is written about him, “The stranger who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.” It is written about his soul and spirit, “Your life shall hang in doubt before you.”
75. If he repents, his spirit and soul shall return to him, and the verse, “And the Lord your God shall place you as the head, and not as the tail, and you shall be only above, and you shall not be below, for you will obey the commandments of the Lord your God,” will come true in him. With the commandments, he is rewarded with Ruach; with the Torah, he is rewarded with Neshama.
