Segment 1א׳

תָּאנָא, כָּל אִינּוּן תִּקּוּנֵי דִּלְעֵילָּא, דִּבְגוּפָא קַדִּישָׁא, (בדכר ונוקבא) כְּלָלָא דְּאָדָם, אִתְמְשִׁיךְ דָּא מִן דָּא, וּמִתְאַחֲדָן דָּא בְּדָא, וְאַשְׁקוּן דָּא לְדָא. כְּמָה דְּאִתְמְשָׁךְ דָּמָא בְּקִטְפִין דְּוָרִידִין לְדָא וּלְדָא, לְהָכָא וּלְהָכָא, מֵאֲתָר דָּא לְאֲתָר אַחֲרָא, וְאִינּוּן מַשְׁקִין (ס"א קסטין) דְּגוּפָא (נ"א לגופא). אַשְׁקְיָין דָּא לְדָא, מְנַהֲרִין דָּא לְדָא. עַד דְּאַנְהִירוּ כֻּלְּהוּ עָלְמִין, וּמִתְבָּרְכָאן בְּגִינֵיהוֹן.

It has been taught: all those adornments above, which are in the holy body (a variant adds: in male and female), the whole of Adam, are drawn one from the other, and are held fast one in the other, and water one another — as the blood is drawn through the branches of the veins to this and to that, hither and thither, from one place to another; and they are the waterings (a variant reads: measures) of the body (a variant reads: to the body). They water one another, they give light to one another, until all the worlds are lit, and are blessed for their sake.

Segment 2ב׳

תָּאנָא, כָּל אִינּוּן כִּתְרִין דְּלָא אִתְכְּלִלוּ בְּגוּפָא, כֻּלְּהוּ רְחִיקִין וּמְסָאֲבִין, וּמְסַאֲבָן כָּל מַאן דְּיִקְרַב לְגַבֵּיהוֹן, לְמִנְדַּע מִנְּהוֹן מִלִּין.

It has been taught: all those crowns that were not included in the body are all far off and unclean, and they defile everyone who draws near to them to know words from them.

Segment 3ג׳

תָּאנָא, מַאי תִּיאוּבְתָא דִּלְהוֹן לְגַבֵּי תַּלְמִידֵי חֲכָמִים. אֶלָּא מִשּׁוּם דְּחָמָן בְּהוּ גּוּפָא קַדִּישָׁא, וּלְאִתְכַּלְלָא בְּהוּ בְּהַהוּא גּוּפָא. וְכִי תֵּימָא, אִי הָכִי, הָא מַלְאָכִין קַדִּישִׁין וְלֵיתְהוֹן בִּכְלָלָא דְּגוּפָא. לָא. דְּחַס וְשָׁלוֹם אִי לֶיהֱווֹן לְבַר מִכְּלָלָא דְּגוּפָא קַדִּישָׁא, לָא הֲווֹ קַדִּישִׁין וְלָא מִתְקַיְימֵי. וּכְתִיב (דניאל י׳:ו׳) וּגְוִיָּיתוֹ כְתַרְשִׁישׁ. וּכְתִיב (יחזקאל א׳:י״ח) וְגַבּוֹתָם מְלֵאוֹת עֵינַיִם. (דניאל ט׳:כ״א) וְהָאִישׁ גַּבְרִיאֵל. כֻּלְּהוּ בִּכְלָלָא דְּאָדָם. בַּר מֵהָנֵי דְּלֵיתְהוֹן בִּכְלָלָא דְּגוּפָא, דְּאִינּוּן מִסְאֲבִין, וּמְסַאֲבָן כָּל מַאן דְּיִקְרַב בַּהֲדַיְיהוּ.

It has been taught: what is their desire for the students of the Torah? But because they see in them the holy body, and would be included through them in that body. And if you say: if so, here are the holy angels, and they are not within the whole of the body — no. For, God forbid, were they outside the whole of the holy body, they would not be holy and would not endure. And it is written: “His body also was like the beryl” (Dan. 10, 6). And it is written: “and their rings were full of eyes” (Ezek. 1, 18). “The man Gabriel” (Dan. 9, 21). All of them are within the whole of Adam — save for those that are not within the whole of the body, which are unclean, and defile everyone who draws near to them.

Segment 4ד׳

וְתָאנָא, כֻּלְּהוּ מֵרוּחָא דִּשְׂמָאלָא, דְּלָא אִתְבְּסָם בְּאָדָם מִשְׁתַּכְּחִין, וְנַפְקוּ מִכְּלָלָא דְּגוּפָא קַדִּישָׁא, וְלָא אִתְדָּבָקוּ בֵּיהּ. וּבְגִין כָּךְ כֻּלְּהוּ מִסְאֲבִין וְאַזְלִין וְטָאסִין עָלְמָא, וְעַיְילִין בְּנוּקְבָּא דִּתְהוֹמָא רַבָּא, לְאִתְדַּבְּקָא בְּהַהוּא דִּינָא קַדְמָאָה דְּאִקְרֵי קַיִן, דְּנָפִיק בִּכְלָל דְּגוּפָא דִּלְתַּתָּא. וְשָׁאטִין וְטָאסִין כָּל עָלְמָא, וּפַרְחָן וְלָא מִתְדַּבְּקָאן בִּכְלָלָא דְּגוּפָא, וּבְגִינֵי כַּךְ אִינּוּן לְבַר, מִכָּל מַשִׁרְיָין דִּלְעֵילָּא וְתַתָּא. מִסְאֲבִין אִינּוּן. בְּהוּ כְּתִיב (ויקרא י״ג:מ״ו) מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה מוֹשָׁבוֹ.

And it has been taught: all of them are found from the spirit of the left, which was not sweetened in Adam; and they went forth from the whole of the holy body, and did not cleave to it. And therefore they are all unclean, and go and fly about the world, and enter into the hollow of the great abyss, to cleave to that first judgement that is called Cain, which went forth within the whole of the lower body. And they roam and fly through all the world, and take wing, and do not cleave to the whole of the body; and therefore they are outside all the camps above and below. Unclean they are. Of them it is written: “without the camp shall his dwelling be” (Lev. 13, 46).

Segment 5ה׳

וּבְרוּחָא דְּאִקְרֵי הֶבֶל, דְּאִתְבָּסָּם יַתִּיר בִּכְלָלָא דְּגוּפָא קַדִּישָׁא. נָפְקִין אַחֲרָנִין דְּמִבַּסְמָן יַתִּיר, וּמִתְדַּבְּקָן בְּגוּפָא, וְלָא מִתְדַּבְּקָן. כֻּלְּהוּ תַּלְיָין (ע"ו ע"ב) בַּאֲוִירָא וְנָפְקִין מֵהַאי כְּלָלָא דְּאִלֵּין מִסְאֲבִין. וְשַׁמְעִין מַה דְּשַׁמְעִין מֵעֵילָּא, וּמִנַּיְיהוּ יַדְעֵי לְתַתָּא דְּקָאַמְרֵי לְהוּ.

And in the spirit that is called Abel, which was sweetened more within the whole of the holy body, others go forth that are more sweetened, and they cleave to the body and do not cleave. They all hang (folio 76b) in the air, and go forth from this whole of those that are unclean. And they hear what they hear from above, and from them those below know what they tell them.
