Segment 1א׳

הֵיכָלָא שְׁתִיתָאָה הָכָא הוּא רוּחָא דְּאִקְרֵי חוּ"ט הַשָּׁנִי, רָזָא דִּכְתִיב, (שיר השירים ד׳:ג׳) כְּחוּט הַשָּׁנִי שִׂפְתוֹתַיִךְ, הַאי הֵיכָלָא (היכלא דאקרי) אִקְרֵי הֵיכַּל הָרָצוֹן, הָכָא רוּחָא דְאִיהוּ רַעֲוָא דְּכָל הָנֵי רוּחִין תַּתָּאִין רָהֲטִין אֲבַתְרֵיהּ לְאִתְדַּבְּקָא בֵּיהּ בִּנְשִׁיקָה בִּרְחִימוּתָא.

The sixth palace. Here is the spirit that is called a thread of scarlet, the mystery of what is written: “Your lips are like a thread of scarlet” (S. S. 4, 3). This palace is called the palace of desire. Here is the spirit that is the desire which all these lower spirits run after, to cleave to it in a kiss, in love.

Segment 2ב׳

הַאי רוּחָא אִתְכְּלִיל בְּשִׁית. וְקָיְימָא בְּשִׁית. אִתְכְּלִיל בְּשִׁית דִּלְתַתָּא בַּהֲדֵיהּ. וְקָיְימָא בְּשִׁית עִלָּאִין. וּבְגִין כָךְ הַאי רוּחָא אַפִּיק תְּרֵיסַר נְהוֹרִין כְּלִילָן כֻּלְהוּ מִתַּתָּא וּמִלְּעֵילָא, הָנֵי תְּרֵיסַר נְהוֹרִין אִנּוּן חָדוּן לְסַלְקָא לְעֵילָא וּלְקַבְּלָא כָּל אִנּוּן דִּלְתַתָּא.

This spirit is comprised in six and stands in six: it is comprised in the six below together with it, and it stands in the six supernal ones. Therefore this spirit brings forth twelve lights, all of them comprised from below and from above. These twelve lights rejoice to ascend above and to receive all those below.

Segment 3ג׳

הֵיכָלָא דָא דְּאִיהוּ רָצוֹן רַעֲוָא דְּכֹלָּא, מָאן דְּקָשַׁר קִשְׁרִין, וְסָלִיק לוֹן הָכָא, דָּא הוּא דְּאַפִּיק רָצוֹן מֵיְיָ בַּחֲבִיבוּתָא. בְּגוֹ הֵיכָלָא דָּא אִתְכְּנִישׁ משֶׁה בִּרְחִימוּ דְּנָשִׁיק נְשִׁיקֵי רְחִימוּתָא. הַאי הוּא הֵיכָלָא דְּמשֶׁה. רוּחָא דָא רוּחָא דִרְחִימוּתָא, רוּחָא דְיִחוּדָא דְּאַמְשִׁיךְ רְחִימוּ לְכָל סִטְרִין.

This palace, which is desire, the desire of all — whoever ties knots and raises them here, he it is who draws forth desire from the Lord in affection. Within this palace Moses was gathered in, in the love of one who kisses the kisses of love. This is the palace of Moses. This spirit is the spirit of love, the spirit of unification that draws love to every side.
