Segment 1א׳

היכל הזכות גבור"ה הֵיכָלָא רְבִיעָאָה. הֵיכָלָא דָּא, דִּי קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא אִשְׁתְּמוֹדַע שׁוּלְטָנֵיהּ בְּאַרְעָא בְּגִינֵיהּ. וְדָא אִיהוּ הֵיכָלָא, דְּקַיְּימָא לְמֵטַר אָרְחוֹי דְּאוֹרַיְיתָא. דָּא הֵיכָלָא אִקְרֵי דִּזְכוּת, דְּבֵיהּ אִתְדָּנוּ כָּל דִּינִין דְּעָלְמָא, וְכָל זַכְיָין, וְכָל חוֹבִין, וְכָל עוֹנָשִׁין, וְכָל אֲגָר טַב, לְאִינּוּן דְּנַטְרֵי פִּקּוּדֵי אוֹרַיְיתָא.

The Palace of Zechut — gevurah (severity). The fourth palace. This is the palace on account of which the Holy One, blessed be He, makes His dominion known on earth. And this is the palace that stands to keep the ways of the Torah. This palace is called the palace of Zechut, in which all the judgements of the world are judged, and all merits, and all sins, and all punishments, and all good reward, for those who keep the commandments of the Torah.

Segment 2ב׳

הֵיכָל דָּא דִּזְכוּת, מְשַׁנְיָיא מִכָל שְׁאַר הֵיכָלִין, וְהַאי הֵיכָלָא, כְּלִילָן בֵּיהּ אַרְבַּע הֵיכָלִין, מְשַׁנְיָין דָּא מִן דָּא, וְכֻלְּהוּ חַד הֵיכָלָא. בְּהֵיכָלָא דָּא אִית רוּחָא חֲדָא, דְּאִקְרֵי זְכוּ"ת אֵל. וְהֵיכָלָא דָּא אִקְרֵי עַל שְׁמֵיהּ זְכוּת, וְהַאי אִיהוּ אֵל. וְהָכָא אִתְדָנוּ כָּל דִּינִין דְּעָלְמָא, וְהַאי אִיהוּ רָזָא דִּכְתִיב, (תהלים ז) וְאֵל זוֹעֵם בְּכָל יוֹם.

This palace of Zechut differs from all the other palaces; and in this palace four palaces are comprised, differing one from another, and they are all one palace. In this palace there is one spirit that is called Zechut El. And this palace is called after its name, Zechut; and this is El. And here all the judgements of the world are judged. And this is the mystery of what is written, “and El has indignation every day” (Ps. 7).

Segment 3ג׳

ד' הֵיכָלִין, ד' אִלֵּין דְּאִינּוּן בְּהֵיכָלָא דָּא, דָּא לְגוֹ מִן דָּא, כֻּלְּהוּ כְּלִילָן דָּא בְּדָא, וְכֻלְּהוּ חַד הֵיכָלָא, וְאִקְרֵי זְכוּתָא. אַרְבַּע הֵיכָלִין אִלֵּין, אִית לְהוּ פִּתְחִין. חַד מְמָנָא עִלָּאָה דְּקַיְּימָא לְבַר לְפִתְחָא קַדְמָאָה דְּהֵיכָלָא דָּא, סַנְסָנִיָּ"הּ שְׁמֵיהּ, וְעַל שְׁמָא דָּא, אִית מְמָנָא אַחֲרָא לְסִטְרָא אַחֲרָא דִּשְׂמָאלָא, דְּנָטִל דִּינִין בְּהַהוּא הֵיכָלָא דִּילֵיהּ, לְאַתְעֲרָא לְמֶעְבַּד בְּעָלְמָא. וּבְגִין דְּנָטִיל מִנֵּיהּ, אִקְרֵי עַל שְׁמֵיהּ, סַנְסָנִיָּ"הּ. וְאִיהוּ שַׁלִּיט עַל הַהוּא אַסְכָּרָ"א דְּרַבְיֵי.

Four palaces — these four that are within this palace, this one within that; they are all comprised one within another, and they are all one palace, and it is called Zechut. These four palaces have doors. One supernal chieftain stands outside, at the first door of this palace; Sansaniah is his name. And after this name there is another chieftain on the other side, on the left, who takes judgements in that palace of his, to rouse them to act in the world. And because he takes from him, he is called after his name, Sansaniah. And he has power over that croup of children.
