Segment 1א׳

תָּא חֲזֵי, כַּמָּה אַתְרִין מְתוּקָנִין לֵיהּ לְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא בְּהַהוּא עַלְמָא, וּבְכֻלְּהוּ בֵּי מוֹתְבֵי לוֹן לַצַּדִּיקִים. כָּל חַד וְחַד לְפוּם דַּרְגֵּיהּ כְּדְקָא חָזֵי לֵיהּ.

For there are many abodes prepared by the Holy One, blessed be He, for the righteous in the next world, each one according to his grade.

Segment 2ב׳

כְּתִיב, (תהילים ס״ה:ה׳) אַשְׁרֵי תִּבְחַר וּתְקָרֵב יִשְׁכֹּן חֲצֵרֶיךָ, דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא קָרִיב לוֹן לְגַבֵּיהּ דְּסָלְקִין אִינוּן נִשְׁמָתִין מִתַּתָּא לְעֵילָא וּלְאִתְאַחֲדָא בְּאַחְסַנְתֵּיהוֹן דְּאִתְתַּקְנָן לְהוּ. יִשְׁכֹּן חֲצֵרֶיךָ, אִלֵּין אַתְרִין וְדַרְגִּין לְבַר, וּמַאן אִינוּן, כְּמָא דְאַתְּ אָמֵר (זכריה ג׳:ז׳) וְנָתַתִּי לְךָ מַהְלְכִים בֵּין הָעוֹמְדִים הָאֵלֶּה. וְהַאי הוּא דַּרְגָּא בֵּין קַדִּישִׁין עִלָּאִין.

It is written: “Happy is the man whom thou choosest, and bringest near, that he may dwell in thy courts”, that is, those whom the Holy One brings near unto Him, those souls who mount from below on high so as to possess themselves of the heritage prepared for them; “that he may dwell in thy courts”, to wit, the outer halls and grades, referred to in the words, “then I will give thee free access among these that stand by” (Zech. 3, 7), i.e. a grade among the supernal holy angels.

Segment 3ג׳

וּמַאן דְּזַכָּאִין לְדַרְגָּא דָא, אִינוּן שְׁלִיחָן דְּמָארֵי עַלְמָא כְּאִינוּן מַלְאָכִין וְעָבְדִין שְׁלִיחוּתָא תָּדִיר בִּרְעוּתָא דְּמָארִיהוֹן, בְּגִין דְּאִלֵּין (אתקדשו) תָּדִיר בִּקְדוּשָּׁה וְלָא אִסְתָּאֲבוּ.

Those who attain that grade are messengers of the Lord, on an equality with the angels, and are constantly being used in the service of their Master, because in life they always strove to remain holy and keep afar from impurity.
