Segment 1א׳

פִּקּוּדָא בָּתַר דָּא, לִישָׂא אֲנוּסָתוֹ. דְּוַדַּאי אֲנוּסָה אִית מִתְּרֵין סִטְרִין, אֲנוּסָה בִּרְחִימוּ דִּילֵיהּ לְגַבָּהּ, וְאִיהִי לָא רְחִימַת לֵיהּ. וְאִית אֲנוּסָה דִּרְחִימַת אִיהִי לֵיהּ, וּדְחִילַת לְאִזְדַּוְּוגָא עִמֵּיהּ בְּלָא קִדּוּשִׁין וּבְרָכָה, וְאִיהִי לָא בָּעָאת אִם הִיא הֶדְיוֹטָא לְגַבֵּיהּ, וְלוֹ תִּהְיֶה לְאִשָּׁה.

The following precept is for one to marry the woman he violated. For surely there are two kinds of violated women - one who is violated because he loves her but she doesn't love him. Another is violated because she loves him but fears to mate with him without marriage and being blessed, or she doesn't want him if he is a commoner. Of him it says, "and she shall be his wife" (Deuteronomy 22:19).

Segment 2ב׳

בְּסִתְרֵי תּוֹרָה, אִית לָן לְהַמְשִׁיל מָשָׁל, נִשְׁמְתָא אִית דְּאִיהִי מַטְרוֹנִיתָא. וְנִשְׁמְתָא אִית, דְּאִיהִי אָמָה. כְּגוֹן (שמות כ״א:ז׳) וְכִי יִמְכּוֹר אִישׁ אֶת בִּתּוֹ לְאָמָה. וְנִשְׁמְתָא אִית, דְּאִיהִי שִׁפְחָה הֵדְיוֹטָא דְּבַּר נָשׁ. אוּף הָכִי, אִית דְּאִיהוּ עֶבֶד שִׁפְחָה לְגַבֵּי נִשְׁמְתָא. וּלְזִמְנִין נִשְׁמְתָא אַזְלָא בְּרָזָא דְּגִלְגּוּלָא, הֲדָא הוּא דִכְתִיב, (בראשית ח׳:ט׳) וְלֹא מָצְאָה הַיּוֹנָה מָנוֹחַ לְכַף רַגְלָהּ, וְיֵצֶר הָרָע רָדִיף אֲבַּתְרָהָא, לְאַעֲלָא בְּגוּפָא, דְּאִיהוּ שִׁפְחָה לְגַבֵּי יֵצֶר הָרָע. אִיהוּ שֵׁד יְהוּדִי. וְנִשְׁמְתָא י', אַמָּה הָעִבְרִיָּה. וּבָהּ הַהוּא שֵׁד, אִתְהַדָּר שַׁדַּי, דְּנָטִיר לָהּ לְהַהִיא נִשְׁמְתָא, וְתָב בָּהּ בְּתִיּוּבְתָּא, וּמְבָרֵךְ בָּהּ לְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא בְּכָל יוֹמָא בְּבָרוּך. וּמְקַדֵּשׁ בָּהּ לְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, בְּקָדשׁ קָדשׁ קָדשׁ. וּמְיַחֵד עִמָּהּ לְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, בְּקְרִיאַת שְׁמַע.

In relation to mysteries of the Torah we have to employ an allegory. There is a soul that is the Matron, [Drawn from Malchut of Atzilut] and there is a soul that is a handmaid [Drawn from the world of Beriyah] such as in, "And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant" (Exodus 21:7). And there is a soul that is a common maid [From the world of Asiyah]. And so is man. There is a man who is a servant to the soul. Sometimes the soul goes by means of incarnation, [Because of a sin in the previous incarnation], "the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot" (Genesis 8:9), [The soul is not at rest due to this previous sin]. And the Evil Inclination chases it to enter that body, which is a maid to the Evil Inclination. It is a Jewish 'demon' and the soul is Yud {which is called} a Hebrew maidservant, in which this demon (Heb. שֵׁד) becomes Shadai, [Shed plus the letter Yud] because it kept the soul and repented through it, and with it blessed the Holy One, blessed be He, daily with 'Blessed (Heb. בָרוּך)', and with it sanctifies the Holy One, blessed be He, with 'Holy, holy, holy', and with it declares the unity of the Holy One, blessed be He, by Kriat Sh'ma.

Segment 3ג׳

מַה דְּהֲוָה אִיהוּ שֵׁד, אִתְהַדָּר מַלְאָךְ דִּידֵיהּ מְטַטְרוֹן, (רוחא מניה) וְאִתְהַדָּר שַׁדַּי דְּהָכִי סָלִיק (מטטרון) בִּמְטַטְרוֹן, בְּחוּשְׁבַּן שַׁדַּי. וּמִיַּד יִתְקְיָּים בֵּיהּ, וְלוֹ תִהְיֶה לְאִשָּׁה לֹא יוּכַל לְשַׁלְּחָהּ כָּל יָמָיו. וְאִי לָא חָזַר בְּתִיוּבְתָּא, אִיהִי לְגַבֵּיהּ מִשְׁתַּעְבְּדָא בְּחוֹבִין דְּעַבְדַּת, וְיִתְקְיָּים בֵּיהּ (שמות כ״א:ד׳) הָאִשָּׁה וִילָדֶיהָ תִּהְיֶה לַאדוֹנֶיהָ. וְאִתְּמַר בְּהַהוּא שֵׁד בַּעַל חוֹבֵיהּ, וְהוּא יֵצֵא בְּגַפּוֹ. וְהַאי שֵׁד, אִיהוּ כְּמַטֶּה דְּמֹשֶׁה, דְּאִתְהַפָּךְ מִמַּטֶּה לְנָחָשׁ, וּמִנָחָשׁ לְמַטֶּה, הָכִי הַאי שֵׁד, אִתְהַפָּךְ מִשֵׁד לְמַלְאָךְ, וּמִמַלְאָךְ לְשֵׁד, כְּפוּם עוֹבָדוֹי דְּבַר נָשׁ.

{Then} what used to be a demon, [Which causes harm] turns around to be its angel {the aspect of} Metatron and turned {to become} Shadai, because the numerical value of Metatron is that of Shadai. Immediately there is fulfilled in it {i.e. the soul} "and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days" (Deuteronomy 22:19). But if he does not repent, {the soul} is enslaved in him through the iniquities he committed and it shall be fulfilled in him, "the wife and her children shall be her master's" (Exodus 21:4), [meaning the soul will leave the person so his root] and it says of the demon which is its debtor, "and he shall go out by himself" (Ibid.), [Without a remedy]. That demon is like Moses' staff that turns from a staff into a snake and from a snake into a staff. So does this demon turn from a demon into an angel and from an angel into a demon, according to man's deeds.
