[Hebrew: Sefer hadrat melech]

(Sign 8) Genesis, page 30: "The two sparks were in the horns of grasshoppers," etc. From the "Tree of Life," Chapter 1.

Behold, this Ibur conception/gestation of the Zeir Anpin the Small Face, the masculine divine persona was from the aspect of the Arich Anpin the Long Face, the vast divine patience itself. It came from the aspect of the Netzach, Hod, and Yesod the lower three emanations: Victory, Splendor, and Foundation within it. From the union within itself, the Vav Ketzavot six extremities/directions of the Small Face were made. This occurred in the aspect of three nights within three. The matter of the union of the Long Face is this: it has been explained that within the Small Face there are only nine sefirot divine emanations, and the aspect of Malchut Kingdom/Kingship is not mentioned in it. However, within its Foundation, male and female are included, in the secret of the verse, "The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon." This means his lower three emanations were elevated to the level of the chest the middle three emanations: Mercy, Strength, and Beauty, which is the place of their life force. The wisdom of the heart is for Kindness, and the life force is for the Small Face.

The Netzach Victory rose to the Long Face in its Kindness. The Hod Splendor rose to the Long Face in its Strength. The Yesod Foundation rose to the Long Face in its Beauty. The Da'at Knowledge, which is the foundation of the internal structure, contains the power of Strength and Life. The Malchut Kingdom is within the Life force itself, which is literally male and female. From this, the Foundation of the Long Face was produced in the aspect of male and female from Binah Understanding. This gave birth from the foundations to the Small Face in the secret of "three included in three." There is no female for him in the secret of "stepping outside." The purpose of the Long Face was to clothe itself within the Small Face through the actions of the lower three emanations of the Long Face. This occurred in the place of the chest, for the reason mentioned, to clothe itself within the male and female.

There is a second reason: the Small Face was in the aspect of sparks and extremities separated from one another. Its repair is to bind them in the secret of a single persona. Therefore, the lower three emanations were forced to act within its own nature. They would be the extremities for the Long Face, included two within three, to include the lower three which are the six extremities in the aspect of three included in three. They receive together. The time of this gestation was seven or nine months only, so that it could be its own self. For its lower three were included in its middle three, which is a total of ten. Furthermore, all its parts were included, which totals thirty. The text gives five reasons for it being ten or thirty.

It is mentioned that the primary part of the first gestation was in the Long Face, but it was through the "clothing" within it. His intention was to make the Long Face a type of garment from the union of the gestations until the end of its legs. It is also found that its time was twelve months. This is the secret in the discourse of "The King’s House," and in Genesis page 100, side b: "The sparks were in the horns of grasshoppers." The "horns of grasshoppers" is a metaphor for a very small or constricted spiritual state. This lasted twelve months. Afterward, the extremities of the "Suckling" stage were born. Through their nursing, they expanded into three faces within three. They now stood in the aspect of a complete persona, bound to each other in the secret of the "Line" as mentioned above. This is the stage of "Greatness," which requires a second gestation of the "Mentalities" intellectual divine faculties.

The purpose is to give these mentalities to the Small Face. In the first gestation, the essence was from the union of the Long Face itself. But this second gestation is essentially from the union of the Long Face through its clothing within them. This lasts from the first gestation, which is nine years, and he has his intellectual mentalities for thirteen years. Then he becomes a "Great Man," pure and great. All of this was for the sake of the external parts. For a second time, all this is done for the sake of the internal parts of the Male and Female, to separate them. This is his involvement in the secret of the "Sparks," which are twelve.

The word "horns" karnei is an expression of uplifting. It refers to the power from the World of Points. The numerical value of the word "grasshoppers" Chagavim is 15. These were the sparks that could not endure the light and were broken. Afterward, there were three within three, a thin light. They were narrowed in gestation, nursing, and greatness. The broken roots were expanded into the six extremities. The repair of these extremities is revealed at the end when they rise to the Long Face in a pure way. This is understood from the discourse.

(Sign 9) Vayechi, page 241, side a: "Three tribes," etc. From the "Tree of Life," page 174, at the beginning.

Initially, their repair was given. In the Small Face, there was no "Middle Line" except for Beauty and Foundation. When he received the mentalities for the Small Face after the second gestation, the aspect of Knowledge for the Small Face was also made. Then there were three emanations in the Middle Line of the Small Face. Originally, it had only Kindness, Strength, and Foundation.

He divided them into three parts, totaling thirty. When he grew and the aspect of Knowledge was made, it was in this manner: the upper two-thirds of the chest became the Knowledge. The middle three-thirds, which are the third of the chest and the upper third of the Foundation, became the Beauty of the Small Face. The lower three-thirds of the Foundation became the actual Foundation. In this way, the three lines of Right, Left, and Middle grew. Initially, there were only two emanations in each line. They grew and became three emanations in each line. However, there is a difference between them. The Kindness and Wisdom in the right line, and the Strength and Splendor in the left line, each have three literal segments. These segments are separated from each other in every emanation.

This is mentioned in the Zohar, section Vayechi, page 246, side a, regarding the matter of the twelve tribes included in these four emanations, corresponding to the four banners. However, the Foundation, even though it is divided into three parts, only consists of three segments. It is found that the entire upper third of the Foundation becomes the Beauty during the time of Greatness. This third is a segment unto itself. Despite the Beauty being made from it, it is still called by the name "Foundation," because it is counted as such and has a connection to the Foundation. This is the secret of the language in the Zohar regarding the "remembrance of the tribes." The three segments of the Foundation are the Foundation, the Crown, and the end of the Foundation, which is longer than the Crown. Therefore, the Foundation itself is divided into three, and the Crown is one of the three. It consists of two segments in total.

(Sign 10) Genesis, page 1, side b: "The blossoms are the Patriarchs," etc. See also what I found in "Tree of Life," page 197.

After the Long Face was arranged, its light shone into the Kingdom. There was a nesting of five Strengths from the Foundation, and they were included within the Foundation of the Long Face. Afterward, when the sparks and mentalities were revealed to be in the place of the "Seal," the Long Face became a "Seal within a Seal." It is written there that "Seal within a Seal" means a door within a door. Between the two of them, there is only one seal, which is the Foundation. There are three "Dalets" the Hebrew letter D and two "Kafs" the Hebrew letter K. These are the garments of the "Inner Kindness" as mentioned above. One is through the Small Face and one through the Female via the Mother at the time of the "Nesting" the process of the higher soul entering the lower body. As is known, these Inner Kindnesses are included in the lower three of the Mother in the secret of the "Spread Sail."

As mentioned in the portion of Genesis on the verse "The blossoms were seen in the land," there are three doors. These are the three lines of the Inner Kindness of the Mother, which are "Three Hands." This is the secret of "ten hands" for this Foundation. These are three "Dalets" which are the lower three that extend from the upper hand. They are the parts of the Crown of the Foundation. This is the numerical value of 45, as mentioned. Thus, there are three aspects: 1) the body of the Foundation, 2) the Crown itself, and 3) the three lines of the doors. Together they are one seal. In a doubled way, they are called "Seal within a Seal." They are in the Foundation and the Crown.

There are three aspects of the "Hands" in the Foundation and the Crown. The numerical value of 45 itself is doubled in the Foundation and the Crown. This is the "Spirit of the Bell" that rises. It is the second aspect which is given to the Small Face in the secret of literal union during intercourse for the sake of the "Return." In others, it is like light to the eyes. These are the thirty of the 45. From them, she clarifies from the "Kings" the fallen sparks of the previous world, and he also clarifies the aspect of the "Water of the Female." He clarifies the Kindnesses of the numerical value 52, which is the aspect of the "MaH" within "BaN." She clarifies the Strengths of the numerical value 52, which is the "BaN" within "BaN."

This means that the "Blossoms" are the Patriarchs. They are the three lines of the Inner Kindness of the Mother, the Three Hands, which she takes at the time of the Nesting by the Mother. These lights, which she takes through the Small Face, are the complete 45 mentioned above. This is the world that "arose in thought." For "He built the Head and covered the Earth." These lights are the garments of the lower three of the Mother that are drawn down to the Daughter. There are lights received from the Mother herself, not through the Small Face. And there are those drawn from the Mother to the Small Face, and from the Small Face to the Daughter. The intention of the union with her is from his Foundation to her Foundation. It can be said that "they arose in thought" because the union of the Long Face was within itself to give birth to the Male and Female. Their clothing is from his gestation. From his essence, the lights belonging to the illumination of the Female entered into the Father, and from there to the Mother in her Beauty. From there, they were divided into the lower three of the Mother and were narrowed there in the lower three. From there, they emerged into the construction of the Female of the Mother, as mentioned above.
