Segment 1א׳

הָכָא אַשְׁכַּחְנָא אַסְוָותָא לְגַבִּי, דְּאִתְּמַר בִּי (ישעיהו נ״ג:ט׳) וְיִּתֵּן אֶת רְשָׁעִים קִבְרוֹ. בָּתַר דִּקְבוּרָה דָּא בְּגִין אַבָּא וְאִימָּא, דְּאִינּוּן בְּגָלוּתָא עִם יִשְׂרָאֵל, אִתְקַיָּים בִּי קְרָא וְלֹא יִטַּמָּא. אֵלִיָּהוּ, לָא תִּתְעַכֵּב מִלְּנַחְתָּא, דְּאַף עַל גַּב דְּאַנְתְּ כַּהֲנָא, לְאָבִיו וּלְאִמּוֹ (לא) יִטַּמָא. דְּהָא קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא וּשְׁכִינְתֵּיהּ בְּגָלוּתָא, דְּאִיהִי קְבוּרָה לוֹן, וַאֲנָא קָבוּר בֵּינַיְיהוּ. בְּאוֹמָאָה עֲלָךְ, בְּשֵׁם יְיָ' חַי וְקַיָּים, לָא תִּתְעַכֵּב מִלְּנַחְתָּא. מַלְאֲכִין קַדִּישִׁין, מָארֵי דְּגַדְפִין, בְּאוֹמָאָה עָלַיְיכוּ, טוֹלוּ אוֹמָאָה דָּא, וּסְלִיקוּ לָהּ עַל גַּדְפַיְיכוּ. שְׁבוּעַת יְיָ' בְּחַ"י צַדִיק וְקַיָּים עַמּוּדָא דְּאֶמְצָעִיתָא. טוֹלוּ אוֹמָאָה דָּא, וּסְלִיקוּ לָהּ עַל גַּדְפַיְיכוּ. בְּמַטְרוֹנִיתָא בִּיקָרָא דִּילָהּ, לְגַבֵּי קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא.

Here I have found healing for myself, of whom it was said, “And they made his grave with the wicked” (Isa. 53, 9). Since this burial is for the sake of the Father and the Mother, who are in exile with Israel, the verse is fulfilled in me: “and he shall not defile himself.” Elijah, do not delay to come down; for though you are a priest, “for his father or for his mother (not) he shall defile himself.” For the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shekinah are in exile, and she is a burial for them, and I am buried among them. I adjure you by the Name of the Tetragrammaton, living and enduring: do not delay to come down. Holy angels, masters of wings, I adjure you: take up this oath, and raise it upon your wings. The oath of the Tetragrammaton, by Chai — the Righteous One who endures, the Central Pillar — take up this oath, and raise it upon your wings, concerning the Matrona, for her honour, before the Holy One, blessed be He.

Segment 2ב׳

מַלְאֲכִין עִלָּאִין, שְׁלִיחָן דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא מִימִינָא. וּמַלְאָכִין שְׁלִיחָן דִּילֵיהּ, מִשְּׂמָאלָא. וּמַלְאָכִים דְּאַבָּא וְאִמָּא, יֵהוֹן סָתְרִין (סחרין) לָהּ עֵילָּא וְתַתָּא, וּמְכַסִּין לָהּ בְּאָת ו', בְּשִׁית גַּדְפִין דִּילֵיהּ. דְּאִתְּמַר בֵּיהּ (ישעיהו ו׳:ב׳) שְׂרָפִים עוֹמְדִים מִמַּעַל לוֹ שֵׁשׁ כְּנָפַיִם וְגוֹ' בִּשְׁתַּיִם יְכַסֶּה פָּנָיו דִּשְׁבוּעָה דִּילֵיהּ, דְּאִיהִי ה', רְבִיעָאָה. וּבִשְׁתַּיִם יְכַסֶּה רַגְלָיו דִּילָהּ, וּבִשְׁתַּיִם מְעוֹפְפִים לָהּ.

Supernal angels, the messengers of the Holy One, blessed be He, from the right; and the angels, His messengers, from the left; and the angels of the Father and the Mother — let them conceal her (encircle her) above and below, and cover her with the letter Vau, with his six wings, of which it is said, “Above Him stood the seraphim; each one had six wings” (Isa. 6, 2), and so forth: “with two he covered his face” — that of His oath, which is He, the fourth; “and with two he covered his feet” — hers; “and with two they fly” — for her.

Segment 3ג׳

וְאַנְתְּ אֵלִיָּהוּ, דִּסְלִיקַת לְעֵילָּא, לְעִילַּת הָעִילּוֹת, וְהוּא טָעִין לָךְ מִכָּל טוּב, נָחִית לְגַבָּהּ, וְתֶהֱוֵי כְּרוּב תְּחוֹתָא, לְנַחְתָּא לָהּ מְלֵאָה כָּל טוּב. וּמַלְאָכִין דְּאַבָּא וְאִימָּא, דְּאִינּוּן יָ"הּ, (ס"א אסתרו לה) אַסְחֲרוּ לָךְ, בִּנְחִיתוּ דִּילָהּ. וּמַלְאָכִין דְּבַעְלָהּ, בְּרָא דְּאַבָּא וְאִמָּא, ו', כַּסִּיאוּ לָהּ, וּמְעַפְפִין לָהּ, מִשִׁית גַּדְפִין אב"ג ית"ץ, וְבְּל"ו דְּתַלְיָין מִנַּיְיהוּ כְּחֶשְׁבוֹן ל"ו. וַדָאי אִיהוּ שְׂרָפִים עוֹמְדִים מִמַּעַל לוֹ. וּנְחִיתַת ה' (נ"א י"ה) דִּילֵיהּ, טְמִירָא מְכוּסָּה בְּהוֹן. וּמַלְאָכִין דְּאִינּוּן דְּצַדִּיק חַ"י עָלְמִין, אַסְמִיכוּ לָהּ עָלַיְיכוּ כְּחֵיוָן דְּסַמְכִי לְכֻרְסְיָיא.

And you, Elijah, who ascend on high, to the Cause of causes, and He loads you with all good: come down to her, and be a cherub beneath her, to bring her down full of all good. And the angels of the Father and the Mother, who are Yah (a variant reads: conceal her), let them encircle you in her descent. And the angels of her husband, the son of the Father and the Mother, Vau, let them cover her and fly with her, with the six wings, Aleph-Beth-Gimel Yod-Tav-Tzadi, and with the thirty-six that depend upon them, according to the number of thirty-six. Assuredly this is “Above Him stood the seraphim.” And the descent of his He (a variant reads: Yod-He) is hidden, covered by them. And the angels who are of the Righteous One, the life of the worlds, let them support her upon you, as the Hayoth that support the Throne.

Segment 4ד׳

דְּאַף עַל גַּב דְּהֵ"א דַּאֲצִילוּת, דִּשְׁמָא דִּיְדוָֹ"ד, אִיהִי סְמִיכַת לְכֻלְּהוּ, לֵית לְכוֹן לְפָרְחָא לְעֵילָּא, וּלְנַחְתָּא לְתַתָּא, בַּר מִינָהּ. כְּאֵבָרִין דְּגוּפָא, דְּלֵית לְהוֹן תְּנוּעָה בַּר מִנִּשְׁמָתָא, דְּאֵבָרִין דְּאִית לָהּ, אִתְפְּשָּׁטוּ עָלַיְיכוּ, לְסַמְכָא לְכוֹן בְּהוֹן. דְּהָכִי אִיהִי ה', כְּיַמָּא, אִי אִית לָהּ מָאנִין, מִתְמַלְּיָין מִנָהּ, וּמִתְפַּשְּׁטִין בְּהוֹן, כַּנְּחָלִים דְּמִתְפַּשְּׁטִן מִן יַמָּא עַל אַרְעָא. וְאִי לָאו, אִיהִי ה' בְּגַרְמָא יְחִידָאָה, בְּלָא אִתְפַּשְּׁטוּתָא דְּנַחֲלִין.

For though the He of Atzilut, of the Name of the Tetragrammaton, is she who supports them all, you have no leave to fly above or to come down below apart from her — like the limbs of the body, which have no motion apart from the soul. For the limbs that she has are spread out over you, to support you by them. For so is she, the He, like the sea: if she has vessels, they are filled from her and spread out through them, as the streams that spread out from the sea over the earth. And if not, she is the He alone by herself, without the spreading out of streams.

Segment 5ה׳

הָכִי מָאנִין דִּשְׁכִינְתָּא, אִינּוּן מַלְאֲכִין קַדִישִׁין לְעֵילָּא, וְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְתַתָּא, אִי אִית בְּהוֹן מָארֵי מִדוֹת, מָארֵי חֶסֶד חֲסִידִים, גִּבּוֹרִים מָארֵי תּוֹרָה, נְּבִיאִים וּכְתוּבִים, צַדִּיקִים, אַנְשֵׁי מַלְכוּת, דְּאִתְּמַר בְּהוּ (דניאל א׳:ד׳) וַאֲשֶׁר כֹּחַ בָּהֶם לַעֲמוֹד בְּהֵיכַל הַמֶּלֶךְ, בַּעֲמִידָה דִּצְלוֹתָא. בְּהֵיכָלָא דְּמַלְכָּא אֲדֹנָ"י, מַלְכָּא דִּילָהּ יְדוָֹ"ד. וְהֵם חֲכָמִים וּנְבוֹנִים רָאשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל. וְלָא רָאשֵׁי עֵרֶב רַב, דְּאִתְּמַר בְּהוֹן, (איכה א׳:ה׳) הָיוּ צָרֶיהָ לְרֹאשׁ. אִיהִי אִתְפַּשְּׁטַת עָלַיְיהוּ בְּעֶשֶׂר סְפִירָן דִּילָהּ. בְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא, נָחִית עִלַּת הָעִלּוֹת, בְּיוֹד הֵ"א וָא"ו הֵ"א, לְנַחְתָּא עָלַיְיהוּ, לְאָקָמָא שְׁכִינְתָּא עָלַיְיהוּ.

So the vessels of the Shekinah are the holy angels above, and Israel below — if there are among them masters of the attributes: masters of chesed, the pious; the mighty, the masters of the Torah; Prophets and Writings; the righteous; men of the kingdom, of whom it is said, “and who had ability to stand in the king’s palace” (Dan. 1, 4), in the standing of the prayer, in the palace of the King, Adonai, whose King is the Tetragrammaton. And they are wise and understanding men, heads of Israel, and not heads of the mixed multitude, of whom it is said, “her adversaries have become the chief” (Lam. 1, 5). She spreads out over them in her ten sefirot. At that time the Cause of causes comes down, in Yod-Vau-Daleth, He-Aleph, Vau-Aleph-Vau, He-Aleph, to come down upon them, to establish the Shekinah over them.
