Segment 1א׳

וּכְעָן, דְּחָזַרְתְּ בְּתִיוּבְתָּא, וְאִתְדַּבְּקַת בְּאִילָנָא דְּחַיֵּי, הָא נַפְקַת מֵעֶבֶד, וְאִתְהָדַרְתְּ בֶּן לְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא. וּמַטֶּה דְּאִתְמְסָר בִּידָךְ, יְהֵא עֵץ חַיִּים, ו', דְּאִיהוּ בֶּן יָ"הּ, וְתֵיעוּל (ד"א ותיעול) בְּמ"ט אַנְפִּין דִּילָךְ בְּאוֹרַיְיתָא, וְיִתְעֲבֵד מוֹט. וְיִתְקְיָים בָּךְ, (תהילים נ״ה:כ״ג) לא יִתֵּן לְעוֹלָם מוֹט לַצַּדִּיק. מ"ט אַנְפִּין, מ"ט אַתְוָון דִּשְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל, וּבָרוּךְ שֵׁם, שִׁית תֵּיבִין דְּיִחוּדָא עִלָּאָה, ו' עִלָּאָה תִּפְאֶרֶת. שִׁית תֵּיבִין תִּנְיָינִין, דְּבָרוּךְ שֵׁם, ו' תִּנְיָינָא צַדִּיק. מ"ט. בְּאֶמְצָעִיתָא א. וַיִּשָּׂאוּהוּ בַמּוֹט בִּשְׁנָיִם.

And now that you have returned in repentance and have cleaved to the Tree of Life, you have gone out from servant and have become a son to the Holy One, blessed be He. And the rod delivered into your hand shall be a tree of life — Vau, which is the son of Yod-He. And you shall enter with your forty-nine faces into the Torah, and it shall be made a bar, and there shall be fulfilled in you, “He will never suffer the righteous to be moved” (Ps. 55, 23). Forty-nine faces are the forty-nine letters of “Hear, O Israel” and “Blessed be the Name”: six words of the supernal unification — the supernal Vau, tiferet (beauty); the second six words, of “Blessed be the Name” — the second Vau, the Righteous One. Forty-nine. In the middle, Aleph: “and they bore it upon a pole between two”.

Segment 2ב׳

בְּלֹא וָא"ו בְּאֶמְצָעִיתָא, אִיהוּ מ"ט. (נ"א בלא א' דאמצעיתא דו"ו) וְצַדִיק מ"ט לִפְנִי רָשָׁע. וּמַאן גָּרַע דָּא. א'. אֶחָד מֵחֲמִשִּׁים. דְּחַמְשִׁין תַּרְעִין אִתְיְהִיבוּ לָךְ, חָסֵר חַד, כְּמָה דְּאוּקְמוּהָ מָארֵי מַתְנִיתִין, חַמְשִׁים שַׁעֲרֵי בִּינָה נִמְסְרוּ לְמֹשֶׁה, חוּץ מְאֶחָד. וְהַאי אִיהוּ א', דְּחָסֵר מֵחַמְשִׁין, וְאִשְׁתְּאַר מ"ט, וְדָא גָּרִים לָךְ צַדִּיק מ"ט לִפְנֵי רָשָׁע. מַאי רָשָׁע. דָּא סָמָאֵ"ל.

Without the Vau in the middle it is forty-nine. “And a righteous man gives way before the wicked” (Prov. 25, 26). And what diminished this? The Aleph — one out of fifty; for fifty gates were given to you, less one, as the sages of the Mishnah have explained: fifty gates of binah were delivered to Moses, save one. And this is the Aleph that is lacking from the fifty, and forty-nine remained; and this caused you “a righteous man gives way before the wicked”. What is “the wicked”? This is Samael.

Segment 3ג׳

וְהַאי אִיהוּ מ"ט, מִן מַטֶּה דִּילָךְ, דְּאִתְּמַר בֵּיהּ (שמות י״ז:ט׳) וּמַטֵּה הָאֱלהִים בְּיָדִי. (דמטה אחרא אית לך) מַטֵּה דִּילָךְ הוּא מַטֶּה דְּמֹשֶׁה, וּבְגִין דָּא א, דְּאִיהִי בִּינָה, חוֹזְרַת לָךְ, כְּמָה דְּאוּקְמוּהָ בְּמַתְנִיתִין, אָלֶף בִּינָה. דְּחָזְרַת לָךְ בְּתִיוּבְתָּא, וְתֵיעוּל בֵּין וָ"ו, וְאִתְעָבִיד וָא"ו, לְקַיֵּים בָּךְ לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, (ישעיהו נ״ד:ז׳) וּבְרַחֲמִים גְּדוֹלִים אֲקַבְּצֵךְ. (ירמיה ל"א) (ובתחנונים אובילם) מִתַּמָּן וְאֵילָךְ יִתְקַיֵּים בָּךְ, לא יִתֵּן לְעוֹלָם מוֹט לַצַּדִּיק.

And this forty-nine is from your rod, of which it is said, “and the rod of God in my hand” (Ex. 17, 9). Your rod is the rod of Moses; and therefore the Aleph, which is binah, returns to you, as has been explained in the Mishnah: Aleph is binah. For it returned to you in repentance, and it shall enter between Vau and Vau, and Vau-Aleph-Vau is made, to fulfil in you, for Israel, “and with great compassion will I gather you” (Isa. 54, 7). From then onward there shall be fulfilled in you, “He will never suffer the righteous to be moved”.

Segment 4ד׳

בְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא, יִתְקַיְּימוּ בָּךְ תְּרֵין פִּקּוּדִין. חַד, (דברים כ״ב:ד׳) הָקֵם תָּקִים עִמּוֹ. תִּנְיָינָא, (שמות כ״ג:ה׳) עָזוֹב תַּעֲזוֹב עִמּוֹ. הָקֵם עִם ו' עִלָּאָה, מָשִׁיחַ רִאשׁוֹן. תָּקִים עִם ו' תִּנְיָינָא. עִמּוֹ, דָּא בֶּן עַמְרָם, דִּסְלִיקַת לַבִּינָה דְּאִיהִי א'.

At that time two precepts shall be fulfilled in you. One, “you shall surely lift them up with him” (Deut. 22, 4); the second, “you shall surely release it with him” (Ex. 23, 5). “Lift up” — with the supernal Vau, the first Messiah; “you shall lift up” — with the second Vau. “With him” — this is the son of Amram, who has ascended to binah, which is Aleph.

Segment 5ה׳

וּלְמַאן הָקֵם תָּקִים. לְאָת ה'. דְּנַפְלַת בְּאָלֶף חֲמִשָׁאָה, בָּתַר ע"ב, כְּמִנְיָן עָזוֹ"ב תַּעֲזוֹב עִמּוֹ. עָזוֹב: ע"ב ז"ו. וְדָא ע"ב שְׁמָהָן, וַיִּסַּע וַיָּבֹא וַיֵּט. דָּא וָא"ו מִן וה"ו, תַּמָּן עֵזֶר, וְלָא קִימָה, וְהַאי אִיהוּ עָזוֹב תַּעֲזוֹב, תַּמָּן (דברים י״א:י״ד) בְּעִתּ"וֹ יוֹרֶה וּמַלְקוֹשׁ וְאָסַפְתָּ דְּגָנֶךָ וְתִירֹשְׁךָ וְיִצְהָרֶךָ, דְּאִינּוּן יִשְׂרָאֵל. לֶקֶט שִׁכְחָה וּפֵאָה, (ויקרא י״ט:י׳) לֶעָנִי וְלַגֵּר תַּעֲזוֹב אוֹתָם. הָכָא אוֹלִיפְנָא. פִּקּוּדָא תְּלִיתָאָה.

And to whom shall you “surely lift up”? To the letter He’, which fell in the fifth thousand, after the seventy-two, according to the count of “you shall surely release it with him”. “Release”: Ayin-Beth, Zayin-Vau. And this is the seventy-two Names — “And journeyed”, “And came”, “And stretched out”. This is the Vau of Vau-He-Vau. There is help but no raising up, and this is “you shall surely release”. There: “in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your corn and your wine and your oil” (Deut. 11, 14) — which are Israel. Gleaning, the forgotten sheaf and the corner of the field: “you shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger” (Lev. 19, 10). Here we have learnt. The third precept.
