Section 11 of 34 in Beshalach — 7 segments

Segment 1א׳

ס"א תוספתא (שמות י״ד:י״ט) ויִּסַּע מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלהִים וגוֹ'. (מתניתין) עַד לָא (ס"א אשתקע) אִשְׁתְּכַח אֲוִירָא דַּכְיָא, וְלָא נְהִירִין, אֲבָנִין נְקִיבָן הֲווֹ סְתִימָאן. תְּלַת רוּחִין דִּכְלִילָן בִּתְלַת, הֲווֹ שְׁקִיעָן. וּמַיִין סְתִימָן תְּחוֹת נוּקְבֵי. בְּשִׁבְעִין וּתְרֵין אַתְוָון אִתְהַדָּרוּ לְאַתְרַיְיהוּ אִינּוּן אֲבָנִין (ס"א דרין).

AND THE ANGEL OF GOD REMOVED, ETC. Before the pure air was found, and they did not give light, the perforated stones were stopped up. Three spirits comprised in three were sunk. And waters were stopped up beneath the perforations. By seventy-two letters those stones returned to their place.

Segment 2ב׳

בָּתַר שִׁבְעִין וּתְרֵין דַּרְגִּין, וְכֵן תְּלַת זִמְנִין, אִתְבָּקָעוּ ואִתְנְקִיבוּ אֲבָנֵי, תְּחוֹת צְרוֹרָא דְּהֲוָה חָקִיק, וְאִתְכְּנָפוּ דַּרְגִּין, וְאִתְעָבִידוּ כְּנוּפְיָא חֲדָא. (ס"א אתפלג ואתעבידו כנופיא חד)

After seventy-two grades, and so three times, the stones were split and perforated beneath the bundle that was engraved; and the grades gathered and became one assembly.

Segment 3ג׳

לְבָתַר אִתְפְּלָגוּ, וְאִתְעָבִידוּ תְּרֵין דַּרְגִּין, פַּלְגּוּתָא מַיָּא אַגְלִידוּ, וּפַלְגּוּתָא אִשְׁתְּקָעוּ. אִלֵּין סְלִיקוּ, וְאִלֵּין נַחְתּוּ, מֵהָכָא שָׁרָא עָלְמָא לְאִתְפַּלְגָא.

Afterwards they were divided and became two grades: half the waters congealed, and half were sunk. These ascended, and these descended. From here the world began to be divided.

Segment 4ד׳

צְרוֹרָא אַחֲרָא (נ"א חדא) אִית לְעֵילָּא, (לעילא) וְהוּא גְּלִיפָא בע"ב חֲתִימָן דְּגוּשְׁפַּנְקָא תַּקִּיפָא, וּבְהוּ שְׁקִיעַן גַּלְגַּלּוֹי דְּיַמָּא. כַּד נַטְלִין, אִתְפְּלָגוּ לְאַרְבַּע זַוְּיָין. פַּלְגּוּ חֲדָא סָלִיק, וּפַלְגּוּ חֲדָא נָחִית, פַּלְגּוּ חֲדָא לִסְטַר צָפוֹן, וּפַלְגּוּ חֲדָא לִסְטַר דָּרוֹם. כַּד מִתְחַבְּרָן כַּחֲדָא, גּוּמְרִין דְּלַהֲטִין קַיְימִין, בְּלַהַט שִׁנָּנָא דְּחַרְבָּא דְּמִתְהַפְּכָא.

There is another bundle above, and it is engraved with the seventy-two impressions of the mighty seal, and in them the wheels of the sea are sunk. When they journey, they are divided to four corners: one half ascends and one half descends, one half to the side of the north and one half to the side of the south. When they join together as one, burning coals stand there, in the flame of the edge of the sword that turns every way.

Segment 5ה׳

חַד קַיְּימָא נָעִיץ בְּגוֹ יַמָּא, דַּרְגָּא שְׁלִיחָא דְּאָפַרְכָא עִלָּאָה, סָלִיק בְּהַהוּא קַיָימָא לְעֵילָּא לְעֵילָּא, אִשְׁתֶכְלָל (נ"א אסתכל) לְמֵרָחִיק, קְטוּרָא דְּאַרְבִּין דְּשָׁאטִין בְּיַמָּא. מַאן חָמֵי גַּלְגַּלִּין דְּסַלְּקִין וְנַחְתִּין וְרוּחָא דְּנָשִׁיב בְּהוּ, וְנוּנֵי יַמָּא נַגְדִּין כָּל אִינּוּן אַרְבִּין לְכָל סִטְרֵי עָלְמָא.

One pillar is driven into the midst of the sea — the grade sent by the supernal governor. It rises by that pillar higher and higher; it is made complete far off, the convoy of ships that sail in the sea. Who sees wheels that ascend and descend, and a wind that blows in them, and the fishes of the sea drawing all those ships to all the sides of the world!
