He
Created
Them
Male
and
Female
366)
“He
created
them
male
and
female.”
Sublime
secrets
appeared
in
two
verses:
“This
is
the
book
of
the
generations
of
Adam,”
“He
created
them
male
and
female.”
It
is
written,
“He
created
them
male
and
female”
to
know
the
upper
glory,
the
faith,
from
which
Adam
was
created,
from
the
upper
ZON,
who
are
called
“heaven
and
earth.”
367)
As
the
heaven
and
earth—upper
ZON—were
created,
so
Adam
was
created.
It
is
written
about
heaven
and
earth,
“These
are
the
generations
of
the
heaven
and
the
earth
when
they
were
created.”
It
is
written
about
Adam,
“This
is
the
book
of
the
generations
of
Adam.”
It
is
written
about
heaven
and
earth,
“When
they
were
created.”
It
is
written
about
Adam,
“On
the
day
when
they
were
created.”
Thus,
they
are
equal
because
they
were
created
as
one.
The
emanation
of
ZON
is
through
the
letters
ELEH
of
Bina,
and
afterward,
through
their
ascent
to
MAN
there
to
sentence
between
the
two
lines
in
Bina.
Adam
was
created
in
the
very
same
way—through
the
letters
ELEH
of
ZON,
and
afterward,
through
their
ascent
to
their
MAN,
to
sentence
between
their
two
lines.
Thus,
Adam
was
created
in
the
same
order
in
which
ZON
were
created.
368)
“He
created
them
male
and
female.”
This
means
that
any
form
in
which
there
are
no
male
and
female
is
not
a
high
form
as
it
should
be.
369)
Wherever
you
do
not
find
a
male
and
a
female
together,
the
Creator
does
not
make
His
abode
there.
There
are
blessings
only
in
a
place
where
there
are
male
and
female,
as
it
is
written,
“And
He
blessed
them
and
called
their
name
‘man’
on
the
day
when
they
were
created.”
It
is
not
written,
“And
He
blessed
him
and
called
his
name
‘man,’”
teaching
you
that
he
is
not
called
even
by
the
name
“man”
unless
a
male
and
a
female
are
together.
370)
Since
the
day
when
the
Temple
was
ruined,
there
are
no
blessings
in
the
world.
They
are
lost
each
day,
as
it
is
written,
“The
righteous
is
lost.”
He
lost
the
blessings
that
were
in
the
righteous,
as
it
is
written,
“Blessings
are
upon
the
head
of
the
righteous.”
It
is
also
written,
“Faith
has
been
lost.”
The
Nukva
receives
the
blessings
from
the
righteous,
Yesod
of
ZA,
a
male.
At
the
time
of
wholeness,
it
is
written,
“And
He
blessed
them
and
called
their
name
‘Adam.’”
It
is
also
written,
“And
God
blessed
them
saying,
‘Be
fruitful
and
multiply.’”
At
the
time
of
the
ruin,
when
there
is
no
coupling
of
male
and
female,
they
are
both
regarded
as
lost
because
there
are
no
blessings
in
either
of
them.
At
the
time
of
wholeness,
they
are
both
blessed,
as
it
is
written,
“And
He
blessed
them
and
called
their
name
‘Adam,’”
meaning
both
of
them
together.
371)
All
the
generations
of
the
world
relate
to
Seth,
as
well
as
all
the
true
righteous
in
the
world.
These
last
letters
in
the
Torah,
Shin-Tav
were
whole
even
after
Adam
breached
all
the
letters
of
the
Torah
in
the
sin
of
the
tree
of
knowledge,
which
includes
the
whole
of
the
Torah.
With
the
repentance
he
had
made
before
his
Master,
he
gripped
those
two
letters,
Shin-Tav,
which
were
whole.
Since
then,
the
first
one
returned
in
reverse
order,
Tav-Shin-Reish-Kof.
It
is
so
because
the
sum
of
the
letters
of
the
Torah
are
twenty-two.
These
are
the
vessels
for
the
clothing
of
the
lights
NRN,
in
which
the
three
degrees
are
1)
units,
up
to
ten.
These
are
for
the
light
of
Bina,
Neshama.
2)
Tens,
through
Kof.
These
are
for
the
light
of
ZA,
Ruach.
3)
Hundreds,
which
are
Kof-Reish-Shin-Tav.
These
are
for
the
lights
of
Nukva,
Nefesh.
Prior
to
the
sin,
Adam
had
NRN
from
Atzilut.
When
he
sinned
with
the
tree
of
knowledge,
the
upper
nine—which
are
the
Neshama
and
Ruach,
and
GAR
of
Nefesh—fled
from
him,
since
Nefesh
of
Atzilut
fled
from
him,
as
well.
Only
VAK
of
it
remained
in
him—Nefesh
from
the
ten
Partzufim
BYA,
and
the
merit
of
BYA
compared
to
Atzilut
is
as
VAK
compared
to
GAR.
The
letters
that
clothed
these
NRN
that
fled
from
him—the
letters
from
Aleph
to
Yod,
the
vessel
of
Neshama,
and
the
letters
from
Yod
to
Kof,
the
vessel
of
Ruach,
and
half
of
the
letters
Kof-Reish-Shin-Tav,
the
vessel
of
GAR
of
Nefesh—also
fell
from
him.
All
that
was
left
in
him
were
the
last
two
letters,
Shin-Tav,
which
are
the
vessels
for
VAK
of
Nefesh
that
remained
in
him.
These
last
letters
in
the
Torah,
Shin-Tav,
remained
in
him
even
after
Adam
breached
all
the
letters
of
the
Torah.
Even
after
the
sin,
when
NRN
of
Atzilut
with
all
the
letters
of
the
Torah
that
were
clothed
in
them
fled
from
him,
the
two
letters
Shin-Tav
still
remained
in
him.
It
is
so
because
their
lights,
VAK
of
Nefesh,
did
not
flee
from
them.
And
when
he
repented
before
his
Maker,
he
gripped
to
those
two
letters,
Shin-Tav,
which
remained
in
him
of
all
the
twenty-two
letters,
and
from
them
he
derived
all
his
vitality.
Since
then,
the
letters
returned
in
reverse
order,
Tav-Shin-Reish-Kof,
since
the
order
Aleph-Bet-Gimel-Dalet
indicates
direct
light,
which
is
the
upper
nine,
and
the
order
Aleph-Bet
in
reverse
order
indicates
reflected
light,
regarded
as
female
light,
light
of
Nefesh.
And
because
he
was
left
with
only
the
light
of
Nefesh,
he
could
no
longer
receive
from
the
letters
in
direct
order,
except
for
reflected
light,
Tav-Shin-Reish-Kof,
through
Bet-Aleph.
372)
This
is
why
he
called
that
son
who
was
born
in
his
likeness
and
image
by
the
name
Seth,
which
is
the
suffix
of
the
letters
of
the
alphabet
that
remained
for
him
[in
Hebrew,
the
name
Shet
[Seth]
consists
of
the
letters
Shin-Tav].
The
letters
were
not
corrected
from
their
corruption
until
Israel
stood
by
Mount
Sinai,
then
the
letters
restored
their
correction
as
they
were
in
the
day
when
heaven
and
earth
were
created,
prior
to
the
sin
of
Adam
HaRishon,
since
the
order
of
direct
Aleph-Bet
returned,
and
the
world
was
sweetened
and
persisted.
373)
On
the
day
when
Adam
breached
the
commandment
of
his
Maker,
the
heaven
and
earth
sought
to
be
uprooted
from
their
place
because
they
stand
only
on
the
covenant,
as
it
is
written,
“If
My
covenant
is
not
day
and
night,
I
have
not
appointed
the
ordinances
of
heaven
and
earth.”
Adam
breached
the
covenant,
as
it
is
written,
“And
they,
like
Adam,
breached
the
covenant.”
This
is
why
they
lost
their
foundation
and
sought
to
be
uprooted
from
their
place.
A
covenant
is
the
correction
of
Yesod
[foundation]
with
the
circumcision,
which
is
the
removal
of
the
shell
of
the
foreskin,
and
with
the
exposing,
which
is
extension
of
Mochin
of
GAR.
Then
there
is
a
coupling
of
ZON,
called
“day
and
night,”
when
the
Mochin
are
imparted
upon
heaven
and
earth,
and
the
world
exists.
It
is
written,
“If
My
covenant
is
not
day
and
night,”
meaning
if
we
do
not
correct
the
covenant,
which
is
the
correction
of
Yesod
with
circumcision
and
exposing,
“I
have
not
appointed
the
ordinances
of
heaven
and
earth,”
for
they
did
not
have
the
abundance
and
they
could
not
exist.
By
his
sin,
Adam
HaRishon
was
pulling
on
his
foreskin.
That
is,
he
was
pulling
the
shell
of
the
foreskin
on
the
holy
Yesod,
the
upper
ZON
separated,
and
there
was
no
abundance
and
persistence
to
the
heaven
and
the
earth.
The
heaven
and
earth
sought
to
be
uprooted
from
their
place
because
the
abundance
drawn
to
them
was
insufficient
for
their
existence.
374)
Had
it
not
appeared
before
the
Creator
that
Israel
were
destined
to
stand
by
Mount
Sinai
to
keep
that
covenant,
the
world
would
not
have
existed
after
the
sin
of
Adam
HaRishon.
Anyone
who
confesses
his
sins,
the
Creator
forgives
and
pardons
his
iniquity.
Since
Adam
HaRishon
confessed
and
repented,
the
world
persisted.
375)
When
the
Creator
created
the
world,
Nukva,
He
made
a
covenant,
Yesod
of
ZA,
which
He
established
by
removing
the
shells,
by
extending
the
Mochin.
He
established
the
world
on
it,
meaning
the
Nukva,
who
receives
from
Him.
It
is
written
that
Beresheet
is
the
letters
Barah
[created]
Sheet
[foundation].
Sheet
is
the
covenant
on
which
the
world
stands.
It
is
called
Sheet
from
the
word
Yesod
[foundation],
from
which
the
blessings
emerge
and
extend
to
the
world,
and
on
which
the
world
was
created.
Adam,
by
his
sin
with
the
tree
of
knowledge,
breached
that
covenant
and
moved
it
from
its
place.
This
is
why
at
that
time,
the
heaven
and
earth
sought
to
be
uprooted
from
their
place.
376)
That
covenant
is
implied
in
the
letter
Yod,
the
small
letter
[י],
and
it
is
the
core
and
foundation
of
the
world,
since
the
world
was
created
on
it.
The
letters
Shin-Tav
are
worthy
only
of
reflected
light,
meaning
from
below
upward.
After
the
Yod
was
drawn
between
them,
meaning
Yesod
of
ZA,
they
receive
direct
light,
which
is
all
the
Mochin,
and
then
it
is
called
Sheet
[Shin-Yod-Tav],
where
the
Yod
contains
all
the
Mochin.
And
when
Adam
begot
a
son,
he
confessed
his
sin
and
called
his
name
Seth.
He
did
not
mention
a
Yod
in
it,
meaning
direct
light,
to
make
his
name
Sheet,
indicating
that
he
would
only
extend
reflected
light
from
below
upward
because
he
had
transgressed
him,
as
it
is
written,
“And
they,
like
Adam,
breached
the
covenant.”
Therefore,
by
calling
his
name,
Seth,
without
a
Yod,
he
had
confessed
his
sin.
And
because
he
confessed,
the
Creator
established
the
world
from
him,
and
all
the
generations
and
the
righteous
of
the
world
relate
to
him.
Thus,
because
he
had
confessed
his
sin,
the
Creator
pardoned
him
and
the
world
persisted.
377)
When
Israel
stood
by
Mount
Sinai,
the
covenant
entered
between
the
two
letters
Shin-Tav.
And
who
is
he?
Bet,
the
Mochin
that
appear
with
the
correction
of
the
covenant.
This
is
why
the
Bet
is
called
Brit
[covenant/circumcision],
and
it
is
the
Bet
of
Beresheet.
It
entered
between
the
two
letters
that
remained
after
the
sin
of
the
tree
of
knowledge,
which
are
Shin-Tav,
and
He
gave
the
Sabbath
to
Israel.
When
the
Bet
entered,
namely
the
covenant
between
the
letters
Shin
and
Tav,
and
they
became
Sabbath,
it
is
as
it
is
written,
“And
the
children
of
Israel
shall
keep
the
Sabbath,
to
observe
the
Sabbath
throughout
their
generations,
for
an
everlasting
covenant.”
In
other
words,
they
were
rewarded
with
receiving
the
Sabbath
for
all
the
generations
unceasingly.
As
a
beginning
of
the
world
was
made
from
those
two
letters
Shin-Tav,
relating
to
them
all
the
generations
of
the
world
that
followed,
now
that
the
Bet
was
drawn
into
it
and
they
became
Sabbath
[Shin-Bet-Tav],
they
incessantly
illuminate
an
everlasting
covenant
to
their
generations.
It
is
so
because
these
Shin-Tav
were
hung
until
the
world
was
properly
perfected
at
the
time
of
reception
of
the
Torah.
At
that
time,
the
holy
covenant
went
between
them
and
the
world
was
fully
perfected,
and
they
became
Sabbath.
378)
These
two
letters,
Shin-Tav,
were
perfected
in
the
letter
Bet,
to
become
worthy
of
receiving
direct
light
at
the
giving
of
the
Torah.
As
the
letters
returned
in
reverse
order
since
the
day
when
Seth
was
born,
so
as
to
not
receive
from
above
downward
but
only
from
below
upward,
so
they
illuminated
once
more
in
each
generation
only
from
below
upward,
which
is
the
light
of
Nefesh.
This
was
until
Israel
came
to
Mount
Sinai
and
were
corrected,
when
the
Bet,
Mochin
of
direct
light,
illuminated
in
them
from
above
downward
and
they
became
Sabbath.
379)
The
letters
illuminated
once
more
from
above
downward,
meaning
the
light
of
Ruach.
It
is
not
that
prior
to
the
giving
of
the
Torah
they
illuminated
only
from
below
upward,
which
is
the
light
of
Nefesh,
but
prior
to
the
giving
of
the
Torah,
the
world
was
fumbling
with
the
letters
and
they
were
not
settled
in
their
places.
They
were
tossed
from
mercy
to
judgment,
and
from
judgment
to
mercy,
befitting
the
nature
of
the
light
of
Ruach,
and
were
not
settled.
When
the
Torah
was
given
to
Israel,
everything
was
corrected
and
they
resumed
their
illumination
in
wholeness,
as
prior
to
the
sin.
In
the
days
of
Enoch,
people
were
wise
in
charms
and
magic,
and
in
wisdom
of
how
to
stop
the
heavenly
powers
from
operating
on
the
world.
Since
the
day
when
Adam
departed
from
the
Garden
of
Eden,
he
took
out
with
him
the
wisdom
of
the
fig
leaves,
which
is
charms.
There
was
no
one
else
to
engage
in
it
because
Adam
and
his
wife,
and
those
who
were
born
from
him
before
the
arrival
of
Enoch,
had
left
that
wisdom
and
did
not
engage
in
it.
380)
When
Enoch
came,
he
saw
those
fig
leaves
and
saw
that
their
wisdom
denied
the
upper
ones,
denied
the
Kedusha.
They
engaged
in
them
and
performed
actions,
charms,
and
magic,
and
taught
some
of
them
to
others.
Finally,
that
wisdom
had
spread
in
the
generation
of
the
flood,
and
everyone
used
its
power
for
bad
deeds.
381)
Everyone
reinforced
themselves
opposite
Noah
with
that
wisdom
of
theirs,
in
what
the
flood
warned
them.
They
said
that
no
judgment
in
the
world
could
be
on
them
because
they
would
work
with
wisdom
to
repel
from
them
all
the
accusers.
Thus,
from
Enoch
onward
everyone
began
to
engage
in
this
wisdom.
And
it
is
written,
“Then
it
was
begun
to
call
upon
the
name
of
the
Lord.”
“It
was
begun”
means
that
they
had
secularized
calling
by
the
name
of
the
Creator
using
the
wisdom
of
charms
in
which
they
engaged.
382)
All
those
righteous
that
were
in
them
after
that
generation
of
Enoch
were
trying
to
protest
against
them,
such
as
Yered,
Methuselah,
and
Enoch,
but
they
could
not
until
wicked
ones
who
repel
against
their
Maker
spread
in
the
world
and
said,
“What
is
Shadai
[the
Almighty]
that
we
should
serve
Him?”
383)
Is
it
possible
that
they
would
say
such
nonsense,
“What
is
Shadai
that
we
should
serve
Him?”
However,
it
is
because
they
did
not
know
all
their
wisdoms
of
theirs
and
all
the
appointees
over
the
world
who
were
appointed
over
the
governance
of
the
world,
and
they
trusted
them.
That
is,
they
were
confident
of
their
wisdom,
that
through
swears
that
they
would
swear
these
masses,
no
harm
would
come
to
them.
Finally,
the
Creator
brought
the
world
back
to
what
it
was,
bringing
upon
them
a
flood
of
water.
At
first,
the
world
was
water
in
water,
as
on
the
second
day
of
the
creation
of
the
world
before
the
land
was
seen.
After
the
flood,
He
restored
the
correction
of
the
world
as
in
the
beginning,
and
it
was
not
entirely
ruined
at
the
time
of
the
flood
because
at
that
time,
he
watched
over
them
with
mercy,
as
it
is
written,
“The
Lord
sat
enthroned
at
the
flood,”
which
is
the
quality
of
mercy.
It
did
not
write,
“God
sat
enthroned
at
the
flood,”
which
is
the
quality
of
judgment.
Thus,
He
sentenced
them
with
mercy,
which
is
why
it
was
not
entirely
ruined
by
the
flood.

In
the
days
of
Enoch,
even
the
infants
in
that
generation
were
all
noticing
the
high
wisdom
and
were
watching
them.
That
is,
they
were
observing
them.
So
were
they
fools,
not
knowing
that
the
Creator
is
destined
to
bring
upon
them
the
water
of
the
flood
and
that
they
would
die
in
them?
385)
They
knew,
but
folly
gripped
their
hearts.
They
knew
the
angel
appointed
on
fire,
and
the
angel
appointed
on
water,
and
they
knew
how
to
stop
them
from
being
able
to
execute
judgment
against
them.
For
this
reason,
they
were
not
afraid
of
punishment.
But
they
did
not
know
that
the
Creator
was
the
ruler
of
the
earth
and
that
from
Him
the
judgment
would
come
upon
the
world.
386)
Instead,
they
saw
that
the
world
was
at
the
hands
of
those
appointees
and
that
all
the
matters
of
the
world
depend
on
them.
For
this
reason,
they
were
not
looking
at
the
Creator
or
noticing
His
actions
until
the
land
became
corrupt
and
the
spirit
of
holiness
declared
about
them
each
day,
“Let
sinners
cease
from
the
earth,
and
let
the
wicked
be
no
more.”
387)
The
Creator
waited
for
them
all
that
time
when
the
righteous,
Yered,
Methuselah,
and
Enoch,
were
living
in
the
world.
When
they
passed
away
from
the
world,
the
Creator
brought
down
upon
them
the
judgment
and
they
were
lost,
as
it
is
written,
“And
they
were
blotted
out
from
the
earth.”
