Segment 1א׳

זְרַע אַבְרָהָם אוֹהֲבִי. לֵית מָאן דְּקָאִים קָמֵיהּ תַרְעָא דִצְלוֹתָא וְעָלֵיהּ אִתְמַר (תהילים קכ״ז:ה׳) לא יֵבוֹשׁוֹ כִּי יְדַבְּרוּ אֶת אוֹיְבִים בַּשָׁעַר דְאִיהוּ תַרְעָא דְמַלְכָּא בְּגִין דִצְלוֹתָא אִיהִי מִצְוָה וְדָא שְׁכִינְתָּא וְאוֹרַיְיתָא דָּא קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא וְלָא צָרִיךְ הַפְסָקָה בֵּינַיְיהוּ וְצָרִיךְ לְסַלְקָא תּוֹרָה וּמִצְוָה בִּדְחִילוּ וּרְחִימוּ דְכָל פִקּוּדִין דַּעֲשֵׂה וְלָא תַעֲשֶׂה כֻּלְּהוּ תַלְיָין מִן שֵׁם יהו"ה כְּמָה דְאוֹקִימְנָא רָזָא דָּא שְׁמִ"י עִם י"ה שס"ה מִצְוֹת לֹא תַעֲשֶׂה וְזֶּה זִכְ"רִי עִם וָ"ה רְמַ"ח מִצְוֹת עֲשֵׂה

“The seed of Abraham My friend.” There is none who stands before the gate of prayer; and of him it is said, “They shall not be put to shame, when they speak with their enemies in the gate” (Ps. 127, 5) — which is the gate of the King. For prayer is a commandment, and this is the Shekinah; and the Torah is the Holy One, blessed be He; and no interruption is needed between them. And one must raise up Torah and commandment in fear and in love, for all the commandments of “do” and “do not” depend upon the Tetragrammaton, as we have explained. This is the mystery: shemi, My name, with Yah is three hundred and sixty-five negative commandments; and this zichri, My memorial, with Vau-He is two hundred and forty-eight positive commandments…

Segment 2ב׳

וְהָא הָכָא רמ"ח ושס"ה וְאִינּוּן רמ"ח תֵיבִין בְּקִרְיַת שֵׁמַע וְאִתְיַיהִיבוּ מִרְחִימוּ וּדְחִילוּ דְאוֹת ה' וּבְגִין דָּא תַקִּינוּ הַבּוֹחֵר בְּעַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּאַהֲבָה וְאִינּוּן כְּלִילָן בְּאַבְרָהָם דְאִתְמָר בֵּיהּ (ישעיהו מ״א:ח׳) זְרַע אַבְרָהָם אוֹהֲבִי.

And here are the two hundred and forty-eight and the three hundred and sixty-five. And they are the two hundred and forty-eight words in the recitation of the Shema, and they were given from the love and the fear of the letter He. And therefore they ordained, “who chooses His people Israel in love.” And they are comprised in Abraham, of whom it is said, “the seed of Abraham My friend” (Isa. 41, 8).

Segment 3ג׳

תְּפִילִין אִינוּן עוֹז דְּאִתְיְיהִיבוּ מֵיִרְאָה דְאִיהוּ לִשְׂמָאלָא וְדָא פַּחַד יִצְחָק דְּתַמָּן כָּל מְקַטְרְגִין סָלְקִין לְמִתְבַּע כָּל דִינִין וּבְגִין דָּא (ישעיהו ס״ב:ח׳) וּבִזְרוֹעַ עוּזוֹ, דָּא תְּפִילִין י"ה בְּיִרְאָה וָ"ה בְּאַהֲבָה הֲדָא הוּא דִּכְתִיב (תהילים ל״א:כ״ד) אֵהֶבוּ אֶת יְיָ כָּל חַסִידָיו תָּא חֲזֵי (ס"א ת"ת) יהו"ה כָלִיל כֹּלָּא וּבְגִין דָּא אִתְמָר בְּיַעֲקֹב (בראשית כט) וְהִנֵּה יהו"ה נִצָב עָלָיו דְאִיהוּ עַמּוּדָא דְאֶמְצָעִיתָא לְבָתָר דְאִתְקַם. (כתוב בדפוס עד בדיוקנא דמאהה ודאי)

The phylacteries are strength, which were given from fear, which is to the left; and this is the Fear of Isaac, for there all the accusers ascend to demand every judgement. And therefore, “and by the arm of His strength” (Isa. 62, 8): this is the phylacteries — Yah in fear, Vau-He in love. This is what is written, “Love the Lord, all His pious ones” (Ps. 31, 24). Observe: (a variant reads: tiferet) the Tetragrammaton comprises all. And therefore it is said of Jacob, “And behold, the Lord stood beside him” (Gen. 29) — who is the Central Column, after it was established. (In the printing it is written as far as “in the likeness of ma’ah”, assuredly.)
