Segment 1א׳

תָּא חֲזֵי, בְּהַהִיא שַׁעֲתָא אִשְׁתְּלִים סִיהֲרָא מִכֹּלָּא, וְיָרְתָא שִׁבְעִין וּתְרֵין שְׁמָהָן קַדִּישִׁין, בִּתְלַת סִטְרִין. סִטְרָא חֲדָא אִתְלַבְּשָׁא בְּעִטְרוֹי דְּחֶסֶד עִלָּאָה, בְּשִׁבְעִין גְּלִיפִין דִּנְהִירוּ דְּאַבָּא עִלָּאָה, דְּאַנְהִיר לָהּ.

R. Simeon further said that the “Moon”-the Shekinah-was then in her fulness and perfection, manifesting both attributes and representing in herself seventy-two holy Names according to the threefold order. In virtue of the first order of letters, she clothed herself with the garment of Grace, shining with the resplendence of the light which the Supernal Father caused to shine for her;

Segment 2ב׳

סִטְרָא תִּנְיָינָא, אִתְלַבְּשַׁת בְּרוֹמְחֵי דִּגְבוּרָ"ה, בְּשִׁתִין פּוּלְסֵי דְּנוּרָא, וַעֲשָׂרָה דִּילָהּ דִּנְחַתוּ מִסִּטְרָא דְּאִמָא עִלָּאָה בְּנִימוּסֵי גְּלִיפִין.

in virtue of the second she adorned herself with the implements of war, expressing Severity, and sixty “whips” of fire, emanating from the Supernal Mother.

Segment 3ג׳

סִטְרָא תְּלַתָאֵי, אִתְלַבְּשַׁת בִּלְבוּשֵׁי אַרְגְוָנָא, דְּלָבִישׁ מַלְכָּא עִלָּאָה קַדִּישָׁא, דְּאִקְרוּן תִּפְאֶרֶ"ת, דְּיָרִית בְּרָא קַדִּישָׁא, בְּשִׁבְעִין עִטְרִין עִלָּאִין, מִסִּטְרָא דְּאַבָּא וְאִמָא, וְהוּא כָּלִיל לְהַאי סִטְרָא וּלְהַאי סִטְרָא.

The third order of the letters represents Her in garments of purple, the adornment of the Holy Supernal Father, designated “Beauty” (Tiphereth), which is communicated to the Holy Son (i.e. the letter Vau in the Tetragrammaton) in seventy crowns from the side of the Father (Yod) and of the Mother (He,).

Segment 4ד׳

(ס"א ותרין עטרין מסטרא דאבא ואימא, ואינון שבעין ותרין שמהן.) וְתָנֵינָן מִסִּטְרָא דְּחֶסֶ"ד שִׁבְעִין וּתְרֵין סָהֲדִין. מִסִּטְרָא דִּגְבוּרָא שִׁבְעִין וּתְרֵין סוֹפְרִין. מִסִּטְרָא דְּת"ת שִׁבְעִין וּתְרֵין גַּוְונִין לְאִתְפָּאַרָא.

We have been taught that from the side of Grace there are seventy-two witnesses; from the side of Severity, seventy-two scribes; from the side of Beauty, seventy-two colours of glory.

Segment 5ה׳

וּבְהַאי אֲתָר, אִתְגְּלִיף חַד בְּחַד, וְאִסְתְּלִיק שְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא, רָזָא דִּרְתִּיכָא, וְהָכָא אִתְגְּלִיפוּ אֲבָהָתָא, לְאִתְחַבְּרָא בְּחַד, וְהוּא שְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא גְּלִיפָא בְּאַתווֹי.

In the transcendent sphere they are all linked one to the other, forming the Holy Name, the mystery of the Divine Chariot. Here (in the three verses, Ex. 14, 19-21) are inscribed the patriarchs in unison, forming the Holy Name of seventy-two letters
