Segment 1א׳

הֵיכָלָא שְׁתִיתָאָה. הֵיכָלָא דָּא, קַיְּימָא עִלָּאָה, עַל כָּל אִינּוּן שְׁאַר הֵיכָלִין תַּתָּאִין. אַרְבַּע פִּתְחִין, אִית לְהֵיכָלָא דָּא. חַד, אִקְרֵי מָוֶת. וְחַד, אִקְרֵי רָע. וְחַד, אִקְרֵי צַלְמָוֶ"ת. וְחַד, אִקְרֵי אֹפֶ"ל. אִלֵּין אַרְבַּע פִּתְחִין, קַיְימִין תָּדִיר לְאַבְאָשָׁא. אִלֵּין אִינּוּן כְּלָלָא דְּכֹלָּא.

The sixth palace. This palace stands supernal over all those other lower palaces. Four doors has this palace: one is called Death; and one is called Evil; and one is called Shadow of Death; and one is called Gloom. These four doors stand continually to do harm. These are the sum of all.

Segment 2ב׳

כְּמָה דְּאִית בְּסִטְרָא דִּקְדוּשָּׁה, בְּרָזָא דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא, אַרְבַּע פִּתְחִין לְאַרְבַּע סִטְרִין, דְּמִתְקַשְּׁרָן דָּא בְּדָא, וְכֻלְּהוּ קַדִישִׁין. הָכִי נָמֵי לְתַתָּא, הָכָא. וְכַד אִלֵּין מִתְקַשְּׁרָן וּמִתְחַבְּרָן דָּא עִם דָּא כַּחֲדָא, בְּהֵיכָלָא דָּא, כְּדֵין אִקְרֵי בֵּית חָבֶר. כְּמָה דְּאַתְּ אָמֵר, (משלי כ״א:ט׳) מֵאֵשֶּׁת מִדְיָנִים וּבֵית חָבֵר. וְהַאי הֵיכָלָא, קַיְּימָא לְאַבְאָשָׁא תָּדִיר.

Just as there is on the side of holiness, in the mystery of faith, four doors to four sides, which are bound one to another, and all of them holy — so too below, here. And when these are bound and joined one with another as one, in this palace, then it is called a House in Common; as it is said, “than a contentious woman and a house in common” (Prov. 21, 9). And this palace stands to do harm continually.

Segment 3ג׳

עַל הַאי הֵיכָלָא כְּתִיב, (משלי כ״ז:ו׳) וְנַעְתָּרוֹת נְשִׁיקוֹת שׂוֹנֵא, בְּגִין דְּהָכָא קַיְימָן, כָּל אִינּוּן נְשִׁיקִין בִּישִׁין, וְתִיאוּבְתִין בִּישִׁין, וְכָל עִדּוּנִין דְּגוּפָא דְּהַאי עָלְמָא, דִּי בְּאִינּוּן עִדּוּנִין אִתְתָּרַךְ בַּר נָשׁ מֵהַאי עָלְמָא, וּמֵעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי. וְעַל הַאי הֵיכָלָא כְּתִיב, (משלי ה׳:ג׳) כִּי נֹּפֶת תִּטֹּפְנָה שִׂפְתֵי זָרָה וְגוֹ'.

Of this palace it is written, “But the kisses of an enemy are importunate” (Prov. 27, 6), because here stand all those evil kisses, and evil desires, and all the pleasures of the body of this world, by which pleasures a man is driven out from this world and from the world to come. And of this palace it is written, “For the lips of a strange woman drop honey,” etc. (Prov. 5, 3).
