Segment 1א׳

הֵיכָלָא תִּנְיָינָא, הֵיכָלָא דָּא, אִיהוּ חָשׁוּךְ יַתִּיר עַל הֵיכָלָא קַדְמָאָה, הַאי אִקְרֵי שָׁחַת, לָקֳבֵל שְׁמָא דְּאִקְרֵי טָמֵא. בְּגִין דְּהֵיכָלָא קַדְמָאָה אִקְרֵי בּוֹר, לָקֳבֵל שְׁמָא דְּאִקְרֵי שָׂטָן. וְהַאי אִקְרֵי שָׁחַת, לָקֳבֵל שְׁמָא דְּאִקְרֵי טָמֵא. בְּהֵיכָלָא דָּא קַיְימִין תְּלַת פִּתְחִין, לִתְלַת סִטְרִין.

The second palace. This palace is darker than the first palace. This one is called Destruction, corresponding to the name that is called Unclean. For the first palace is called Pit, corresponding to the name that is called Satan; and this one is called Destruction, corresponding to the name that is called Unclean. In this palace there stand three doors, to three sides.

Segment 2ב׳

פִּתְחָא קַדְמָאָה. בֵּיהּ קַיְּימָא חַד מְמָנָא, עַסְטִירִיָּ"א שְׁמֵיהּ. וְכַמָּה אֶלֶף וְרִבְּבָן מְמָנָן תְּחוֹתֵיהּ, וְהַאי אִיהוּ קַיְּימָא עַל כָּל אִינּוּן דִּמְחַבְּלֵי אָרְחַיְיהוּ, לְאוֹשָׁדָא זַרְעָא עַל אַרְעָא. אוֹ דְּמַפְקֵי זַרְעָא, דְּלָא כְּאָרְחָא. אוֹ לְכָל אִינּוּן דִּמְזָנוּ בִּידַיְיהוּ. אִלֵּין אִינּוּן דְּלָא חָמָאן אַנְפֵּי שְׁכִינְתָּא כְּלַל. אֶלָּא הַאי מְמָנָא דְּבִסְטַר מִסְאֲבָא דְּקַאמְרָן, נָפִיק בְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא, וְכַמָּה אִינּוּן אֶלֶף וְרִבְּבָן, כֻּלְּהוּ מִתְכַּנְּפֵי עַל הַהוּא בַּר נָשׁ, וּמְסָאֲבֵי לֵיהּ בְּהַאי עָלְמָא. וּלְבָתַר כַּד נָפַק נִשְׁמָתֵיהּ מִנֵּיה מֵהַאי עָלְמָא, הַאי מְמָנָא וְכָל אִינּוּן דְּעִמֵּיהּ, מְסָאֲבִין לֵיהּ לְנִשְׁמָתֵיהּ, וְאַחֲדִין בָּהּ, (ואסתאבת בהו) וְאָעִילוּ לָהּ לְאִתְּדָּנָא בְּהוּ.

The first door. In it stands one chieftain, Astiria is his name. And many a thousand and myriads of chieftains are beneath him. And this one stands over all those who corrupt their ways, to spill seed upon the ground; or who bring forth seed not in the way of nature; or over all those who play the harlot with their hands. These are they who do not see the face of the Shekinah at all. Rather, this chieftain who is of the unclean side, of whom we have spoken, goes forth at that time; and how many are they, a thousand and myriads, who all gather upon that man and defile him in this world. And afterwards, when his soul goes forth from him from this world, this chieftain and all those with him defile his soul, and take hold of it (and it is defiled by them), and bring it in to be judged among them.

Segment 3ג׳

וְאִלֵּין אִקְרוּן שִׁכְבַת זֶרַע רוֹתַחַת. דְּכֻלְּהוּ רוּגְזִין מִסְאֲבִין קַיְימִין כֻּלְּהוּ עַל דָּא, בְּגִין דְּכֻלְּהוּ קַיְימִין וְשָׁרָאן עָלֵיהּ דְּבַר נָשׁ, בְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא דְּאַרְתַּח גַּרְמֵיהּ, וְחָמִים לֵיהּ לְתִיאוּבְתָּא דָּא. וּכְדֵין נַטְלִין לֵיהּ לְהַהוּא תִּיאוּבְתָּא. וְהַהוּא זַרְעָא דְּאִתּוֹשָׁד בְּאַרְעָא. וְאִתְתָּקָפוּ בֵּיהּ, וְנַטְלֵי לֵיהּ. וְסַלְקֵי לֵיהּ לְעֵילָּא, וְגָרְמוּ דִּבְרִית דָּא דְּיִשְׁתַּעְבֵּד בִּסְטָר מִסְאֲבָא.

And these are called seething semen. For all the unclean rages stand over this; because they all stand and rest upon a man at that time when he heats himself and grows hot for this lust. And then they take that lust, and that seed that was spilled upon the ground; and they take strength in it, and take it, and raise it above, and they have caused this covenant to be made a slave to the unclean side.
