Section 17 of 52 in Idra Rabba — 7 segments

Segment 1א׳

תִּקּוּנָא שְׁבִיעָאָה. פָּסִיק שַׂעֲרָא, וְאִתְחָזְן ב' תַּפּוּחִין בְּתִקְרוּבְתָּא דְּבוּסְמָא, שַׁפִּירָן וְיָאָן לְמֵחזֵי.

The seventh adornment. The hair ceases, and two apples are seen in the offering of spice, beautiful and fair to behold.

Segment 2ב׳

פָּתַח רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן וְאָמַר, (שיר השירים ב׳:ג׳) כְּתַפּוּחַ בַּעֲצֵי הַיַּעַר וְגוֹ'. מַה תַּפּוּחַ זֶה כָּלִיל בִּתְלַת גְּוָונֵי, כַּךְ קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, תְּרֵין תַּפּוּחִין כָּלִיל שִׁיתָּא גְּוָונֵי, וּתְרֵין תַּפּוּחִין אִלֵּין, דְּאִינּוּן תִּקּוּנָא ז', אִינּוּן כְּלָלָא דְּכָל שִׁיתָא תִּקּוּנִין דַּאֲמֵינָא. וּבְגִינֵיהוֹן אִתְקָיָּים (משלי ט״ז:ט״ו) בְּאוֹר פְּנֵי מֶלֶךְ חַיִּים.

R. Simeon opened and said: “As an apple tree among the trees of the wood,” etc. (S. S. 2, 3). As this apple comprises three colours, so the Holy One, blessed be He — two apples comprise six colours. And these two apples, which are the seventh adornment, are the sum of all the six adornments of which I have spoken. And because of them there is fulfilled, “In the light of the king's countenance is life” (Prov. 16, 15).

Segment 3ג׳

וְתָאנָא, מֵהָנֵי תַּפּוּחִין נָפְקִין חַיִּין לְעָלְמָא, וּמְחַזְיָין חֵידוּ לִזְעֵיר אַפִּין. כְּתִיב (במדבר ו׳:כ״ה) יָאֵר יְיָ פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ. וּכְתִיב (משלי ט״ז:ט״ו) בְּאוֹר פְּנֵי מֶלֶךְ חַיִּים. בְּאוֹר פְּנֵי מֶלֶךְ אִלֵּין אִינּוּן תְּרֵין תַּפּוּחִין דְּתִקְרוֹבְתָּא דְּבוּסְמָא דַּאֲמֵינָא. יָאֵר יְיָ פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, פָּנִים דִּלְבַר, דְּכַד נְהִרִין מִתְבָּרֵךְ עָלְמָא.

And it has been taught: from these apples life goes out to the world, and they show joy to the Small of Countenance. It is written, “The Lord make His face to shine upon you” (Num. 6, 25); and it is written, “In the light of the king's countenance is life” (Prov. 16, 15). “In the light of the king's countenance” — these are the two apples of the offering of spice of which I have spoken. “The Lord make His face to shine upon you” — the face without, for when it shines the world is blessed.

Segment 4ד׳

וְתָאנָא, כָּל זְמַן דְּהָנֵי בּוֹצִינֵי דִּלְבַר נְהִירִין, כָּל עָלְמָא מִתְבָּרֵךְ, וְלָא אִשְׁתְּכַח רוּגְזָא בְּעָלְמָא. וּמָה אִי הָנֵי דִּלְבַר כַּךְ. תְּרֵין תַּפּוּחִין דִּנְהִרִין תְּדִירָא, דְּחַדָּאן תְּדִירָא עַל אַחַת כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה.

And it has been taught: all the while these lamps without are shining, the whole world is blessed, and no wrath is found in the world. And if these without are so, the two apples that shine continually, that rejoice continually — how much more so!

Segment 5ה׳

תַּנְיָא, כַּד אִתְגַּלְּיָין תְּרֵין תַּפּוּחִין אִלֵּין, אִתְחֲזֵי זְעֵיר אַפִּין בְּחֶדְוָותָא. וְכָל אִינּוּן בּוּצִינִין דִּלְתַּתָּא, בְּחֶדְוָותָא. וְכָל אִינּוּן דִּלְתַּתָּא, נְהִרִין, וְכָל עָלְמִין חַדָּאן, וּשְׁלֵימִין מִכָּל שְׁלֵימוּתָא. וְכֹלָּא חַדָּאן וּנְהִרִין. וְכָל טִיבוּ לָא פָּסִיק. כֻּלְּהוּ אִתְמַלְּיָין בְּשַׁעֲתָא חֲדָא, כֻּלְּהוּ חַדָּאן בְּשַׁעֲתָא חֲדָא.

It has been taught: when these two apples are revealed, the Small of Countenance is seen in joy, and all those lamps below are in joy. And all those below shine, and all worlds rejoice and are made perfect with all perfection; and all rejoice and shine, and no good ceases. All of them are filled in one moment; all of them rejoice in one moment.
