Section 44 of 63 in Pekudei — 47 segments
Segment 1א׳
רֵישָׁא דִּנְקוּדָה, דְּקַיְּימָא תְּחוֹת דַּרְגִּין דִּי בְּסִטְרָא אַחֲרָא, אִיהוּ רִישׁ דַּרְגָּא דִּלְבַר, רֵישָׁא דִּדְכוּרָא, וְקַיְּימָא רָכִיב עַל חַד גָּמָל, אִיהוּ רֵישָׁא לְבַר דְּחַד עִרְבוּבָא דְּחֹשֶׁךְ דְּאִתְפָּשַּׁט.
The starting-point of the grades of the evil side, which is the beginning of the outside grade, assumes the shape of the head of a male riding on a camel. This is the starting-point of a thick darkness which spreads out.
Segment 2ב׳
דְּכַד תְּנָנָא נָפְקָא מִגּוֹ רוּגְזָא תַּקִּיף, אִתְפָּשַּׁט הַהוּא תְּנָנָא, וְאָזִיל רוּגְזָא בָּתַר רוּגְזָא, דָּא עַל דָּא, וְדָא רָכִיב וְשָׁלִיט עַל דָּא, בְּחֵיזוּ דִּדְכַר וְנוּקְבָּא לְמֶהוֵי כֹּלָּא רוּגְזָא תַּקִּיף.
The darkness is caused by a smoke issuing in the midst of the fury of the evil side, which fury becomes intensified, begetting other furies, and furies upon furies, one riding on top of the other, and representing the male and the female principles.
Segment 3ג׳
וְכַד שָׁאֲרִי תְּנָנָא לְאִתְפַּשְּׁטָא, דָּחִיק מִגּוֹ רוּגְזָא בִּדְחִיקוּ דְּחָד נְקוּדָה לְאִתְפַּשְּׁטָא, וּלְבָתַר אִתְפָּשַּׁט תְּנָנָא (ק"ל ע"א) דְּרוּגְזָא בְּעַקִּימוּ, כְּחַד חִוְיָא חַכִּים לְאַבְאָשָׁא.
When the smoke begins to spread, through the pressure of the nucleus, it takes the form of a winding and dangerous serpent.
