[Hebrew: Sefer hadrat melech]

...the seven lower ones alone, and the world did not stand as will be explained later. This aspect is called the Ancient of Days Atik Yomin, which are the seven ancient days from the Sovereignty Malchut of the Primordial Man Adam Kadmon. These are clothed in the ten Sephirot [of the lower world]. The first [emanation] is included from three until the Palace of the Holy of Holies, which includes three. This Atik becomes the soul for the "Long Face" Arich Anpin, which is the Crown Keter of the world of Emanation Atzilut.

Their branches spread through the nine Sephirot of Emanation. The light of the Infinite Ein Sof is within Atik, and the Infinite clothes the ten [vessels] of Atik. Our Sages said that for the world of Emanation, the Infinite clothes the ten [vessels] of Arich Anpin. These ten Sephirot of Emanation clothe the ten of Arich Anpin. Every part is like a "Candelabra" of six [branches], with six flowers and three [others]. Within them is clothed Understanding Binah, which is called "Who" Mi referencing the verse 'Who created these', and it becomes God Elohim. The Female of the "Short Face" Zeir Anpin is the "Who" of Wisdom Chokhmah, clothing his seven lower [emanations] in the secret of the "Stranger" original: "Nekhar", which has the numerical value of 250. At the time of union, she ascends to him.

Thus, the life-force of the entire stature of Sovereignty Malchut is just one emanation compared to the general world of Emanation. This is the secret that she is the "Hundred" letter Kof of all the generalities. With the garments clothing his lower ten, in the secret of the "Stranger," they are higher than their source. The "Feet" of them all are equal at the bottom with the world of Emanation: the feet of Atik, Arich Anpin, the feet of Father and Mother Abba and Imma, and the feet of the Male and Female Zun. According to our Sages, they [stand] on the "Circumference" Ibura of the Primordial Man. When they spread into six rings in the lines of the ten [vessels], they all reach the floor of the world of Emanation. Indeed, the two lower segments of the "Legs" of Atik are surplus, extending below the floor of Emanation and descending into the world of Creation Beriah. This is the secret of the Personas Partzufim in the world of Emanation. One is above the other in such a way that they are all garments for each other, one clothing the other. Atik, which is the Sovereignty Malchut of the Primordial Man, is within the Holy of Holies in the secret of the "Point" of Wisdom.

Observation Histakel

The Infinite Ein Sof is internal to all worlds and encompasses all worlds. The "Feet" of the stature of the Primordial Man Adam Kadmon, which clothes the Infinite, reach from the beginning until the end of the four worlds: Emanation, Creation, Formation, and Action ABYA. This means the world of Emanation corresponds to the chest [of the Primordial Man], down to the Sovereignty of the world of Action. The world of Emanation is a garment for the seven lower [emanations] of the Sovereignty of the Primordial Man. The entire world of Creation Beriah is a garment for the seven lower ones of the Sovereignty of Wisdom. The entire world of Formation Yetzirah is a garment for the seven lower ones of the Sovereignty of Creation. The entire world of Action Assiyah is a garment for the seven lower ones of the Sovereignty of Formation.

Thus, the "Heels" of the Primordial Man are clothed in the ten Sephirot of the world of Action. Every emanation is included in five hundred thousand "Days" units of light. There, the "Husks" Kelipot impure forces are all found. When the light of the world of Action—which is Jacob—begins to be purified and gathered, this is [the secret of] "Jacob" Yaakov. This is the "Heel" Ekev of the letter Yud. These are the ten purified lights found in the "Heel," which is the world of Action. This is what is meant by the "Footsteps of the Messiah," who is the Primordial Man. When the world of Emanation is purified and stands, his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives. His stature will be exalted, and about him it will be said, "Behold, My servant shall prosper" Isaiah 52:13, referring to the world of Action. Just as a tree [grows] from the root, so it is with the world of Formation, the world of Creation, and the world of Emanation, drawing from the Infinite to give life to "Man," which is the Primordial Man. Then the Messiah will come. See further page 37, column 1: the explanation is that until the souls in the "Body" are completed, until the "Feet" reach the level of the "Smallest of the Small," which are the Husks that correspond to the ten [holy] vessels.

For concerning the world of Emanation, it is said, "And My glory I will not give to another." In the world of Creation, the "Head" of the Husk Noga Translucent Shell merits to face the Understanding Binah of the world of Wisdom. The Husks of the world of Formation are "Silver and Brass." The Husks of the world of Action are "Iron and Lead." These are the Sovereignty Malchut of Emanation, which in all worlds is the "Heel" of the Primordial Man. This is the aspect of Kindness Chesed... to cleave to the feet of the world of Action. When the feet of the Primordial Man are connected to all the lower extensions, they are clothed in the Infinite.

The light of Wisdom was in the "Secret" of the first days, the seven lower ones of the Sovereordial Man, called the Ancient of Days Atik Yomin of the world of Emanation. Thus far his words. Furthermore, this Primordial Man is mentioned in a hidden way at the end of the Tikunei Zohar page 140: "It is known that there is an Infinite for every Ancient One, and there is no other Infinite." And on page 132: "The Infinite of Creation, which is before all that was ancient..." and on page 119: "The wondrous, hidden Artisan..." and so on, "the first Infinite of all holy things." The street is not broad enough for people to handle this openly, but only in great concealment and by hint. On page 89, it is written:

And behold, this [divine structure] has the Naran Nefesh, Ruach, Neshamah — the lower three soul levels and the "Crowns" in three connections [forming the word] King Melekh. It has the "Soul of the Soul," which is called Chayah Living One. It also has the generalities of Naran internally. However, there is an "Encompassing Light" Makif over the head of the Man and over this Naran. Afterwards, above that, is the "Upper Encompassing Light," which is the Yechidah Singularity, and there is the generality of the Blessed One. All of these encompass the "Source Encompassing Light," which is the Sovereignty of Emanation clothing his seven lower ones in the secret of the "Stranger."

At the time of union Zivug, he is at least "Head" to her. He is above the head because they have very spiritual "Vessels." Those vessels are clothed in the garment of "Man," and the lights that are in the Man are clothed in those vessels. It turns out that in the aspect of "Man," they are vessels for the Man, and they are spiritual [made of] light that is not felt at all. Behold, in this exact way, it is so in the totality of the worlds. Coming from above to below: the Primordial Man Adam Kadmon is the Yechidah Singularity of all the worlds. He is the Upper Encompassing Light over all the worlds and also encompasses their surroundings. In the Infinite, there is an aspect like the Crown Keter... soul, spirit, and life-force. What are the lights? The "Singularity of the Singularity" Yechidah she-be-Yechidah is clothed in the Infinite itself. This Wisdom is internal... called the "Line" Kav. There is an aspect of the Essence of the light of the Infinite, the Yechidah within it, which is clothed in the Infinite.

These vessels are not like the vessels of a human body, but rather they are an aspect of very, very thin light. Only in relation to the worlds are they called "Vessels." For the soul of Man has a spiritual garment. From the Infinite, the world of Emanation is the aspect of Chayah Living One. It is the "Glow" Ziv of the Infinite and is the Wisdom of all the worlds. It encompasses from above all the worlds and also surrounds them. It has only three aspects... [the levels of] Yechidah, Chayah, and Neshamah. Because it is not the actual true Supernal Singularity of the totality of the Primordial Man, the level of "Singularity" is missing from it [relatively]. However, it does have a level of Yechidah within it, though not like the absolute Yechidah. These are its garments. Therefore, all the lights are in the aspect of the ten Sephirot of Wisdom alone. Because it is the aspect of Chayah alone, it has no grasp in the Infinite except from the "Glow" of the Infinite alone.

This is exactly the secret of the other garments: the light of the Infinite was clothed within the Wisdom of the Primordial Man to provide for the world of Emanation... for the world of Creation is the aspect of Understanding Binah and is called "Soul" Neshamah. Afterwards, the "Spirit" Ruach of all the worlds is the world of Formation. The "Life-force" Nefesh is in the world of Action. They are a complete body. They are divided into five [levels]... and all of them are in the aspect of Nefesh. Its essence is from the Nefesh of the Yechidah of the Primordial Man, which is clothed in the Nefesh of the Chayah of Emanation, which is clothed in the Nefesh of the Neshamah of Creation, which is clothed in the Nefesh of the Ruach of Formation. Therefore, the world of Action is called the aspect of Nefesh and is called "Liver" Kaved. Indeed, the vessels of the worlds of Creation, Formation, and Action are a complete body. The worlds surrounding them are the Naran souls of the totality of the worlds. Know that in this way, there are vessels for the Yechidah (Primordial Man) and vessels for the Chayah (Emanation). The vessels of Chayah and Yechidah are not a body, but rather they are lights.
