Segment 1א׳

הֵיכָלָא שְׁבִיעָאָה. הֲדָא הוּא הֵיכָלָא דִּשְׁמָרֵי דְּחַמְרָא, לְאִתְרַוָּואָה בֵּיהּ. כְּמָה דְאַתְּ אָמֵר (בראשית ט׳:כ״א) וַיֵּשְׁתְּ מִן הַיַּיִן וַיִּשְׁכָר וַיִּתְגַּל. סְחִיטָא דְּכָל אִינּוּן עֲנָבִין, כֻּלְּהוּ עֲנָבִין בִּישִׁין, הָכָא אִיהוּ סְחִיטָא דִּלְהוֹן. וְדָא אִיהוּ (תהלים עה) יַיִן חָמַר. שְׁמָרִים דְּחָמָר דְּלֵית מַאן דְּשָׁתֵי מִנֵּיהּ, דְּלָא גָּרִים מוֹתָא לְגַרְמֵיהּ. מִיֵינָא דָּא, אַטְעִימַת חַוָּה לְבַעְלָהּ, וְעָאלַת לֵיהּ בְּהֵיכָלָא דָּא, דְּתָנֵינָן, סָחֲטָה עֲנָבִין, וְיָהִיבַת לֵיהּ, וְגָרִימַת מוֹתָא לֵיהּ, וּלְכָל עָלְמָא אֲבַתְרֵיהּ.

The seventh palace. This is the palace of the lees of wine, to become drunken with it, as it says “and he drank of the wine and was drunken, and he was uncovered.” (Gen. 9, 21) The pressing of all those grapes — they are all evil grapes; here is their pressing. And this is “foaming wine.” (Ps. 75) The lees of the wine, of which there is none that drinks and does not bring death upon himself. Of this wine Eve gave her husband to taste, and brought him into this palace; for we have learnt: she pressed grapes and gave to him, and brought death upon him and upon all the world after him.

Segment 2ב׳

בְּהֵיכָלָא דָּא, קַיְימִן כָּל אִינּוּן נִשְׁמָתִין מִסְאֲבִין, דְּנַחְתֵּי לְכָל אִינּוּן דִּי בְּסִטְרָא דָּא מִתְדַּבְּקֵי, וְהַהוּא רוּחָא דְּנַחְתָּא לְכָל אִינּוּן דִּי מִסִּטְרָהָא, מֵהָכָא נַפְקֵי. כְּגַוְונָא דְּאִינּוּן סָטוּ אָרְחַיְיהוּ בְּהַאי עָלְמָא, וְאִשְׁתְּדָּלוּ בִּזְנוּתָא, בַּאֲתָר דְּלָא אִצְטְרִיךְ, לְאִתְרַחֲקָא מֵאֹרַח קְשׁוֹט. כְּדֵין, כְּמָה דְּאִיהוּ אִתְדְּבָּק בְּהַהוּא סִטְרָא דְּיֵצֶר הָרָע בִּזְנוּתָא, הָכִי נָמֵי נָפִיק מְהֵיכָלָא דָּא רוּחָא מִסְאֲבָא, לְסָאֲבָא לֵיהּ, וְלִבְרָא דְּנָפִיק מִתַּמָּן.

In this palace stand all those unclean souls that come down to all those who cleave to this side; and that spirit which comes down to all those who are of its sides — from here they go forth. According as they turned aside from their ways in this world, and busied themselves in harlotry in a place where it is not fitting, so as to remove themselves far from the way of truth: then, just as he cleaved to that side of the evil inclination in harlotry, so too there goes forth from this palace an unclean spirit, to defile him, and the son that goes forth from there.

Segment 3ג׳

וְהַהוּא בְּרָא אִקְרֵי מַמְזֵר, דְּאָתֵי מִסִּטְרָא דְּאֵל זָר. כְּמָה דְּאִיהוּ אִשְׁתְּכַח בְּהַהוּא תִּיאוּבְתָא, וּבְהַהוּא זְנוּתָא בְּהַהוּא סִטְרָא דְּיֵצֶר הָרָע, הָכִי נָמֵי מָשִׁיךְ לְגַבֵּיהּ דְּהַהוּא בְּרָא רוּחָא אַחֲרָא מִסְאֲבָא, דְּסָאִיב, וְכֹלָּא סָהֲדִין עָלֵיהּ דְּאִיהוּ מַמְזֵר, וְהָכִי כָּל עוֹבָדוֹי וְסִטְרוֹי בְּהַהוּא גַּוְונָא מַמָּשׁ.

And that son is called mamzer, because he comes from the side of a strange god. Just as he was found in that lust and in that harlotry, on that side of the evil inclination, so too there is drawn to that son another unclean spirit, which defiles; and all bear witness against him that he is a mamzer. And so are all his deeds and his sides, in that very manner.

Segment 4ד׳

מְהֵיכָלָא דָּא נָפִיק חַד רוּחָא, דִּי מְמָנָא עַל אִינּוּן רוּחִין דְּאִקְרֵי צְפוֹנִי. וְסִמָנִיךְ, (משלי כ״ז:ט״ז) צֹפְנֶיהָ צָפַן רוּחַ. וְהַאי אִיהוּ מְמָנָא עַל דָּא. וְהַאי הֵיכָלָא שְׁבִיעָאָה, לָקֳבֵל הַהוּא שְׁמָא דְּאִקְרֵי (יחזקאל ל״א:י״ד) אֶרֶץ תַּחְתִּית. וְעַל דָּא כְּתִיב, (יואל ב׳:כ׳) וְאֶת הַצְּפוֹנִי אַרְחִיק מֵעֲלֵיכֶם.

From this palace there goes forth one spirit, which is chieftain over those spirits, that is called the Northern One. And your sign is “He that would hide her hides the wind.” (Prov. 27, 16) And this one is the chieftain over this. And this seventh palace corresponds to that name which is called “the nethermost earth.” (Ezek. 31, 14) And therefore it is written “But I will remove far off from you the northern one.” (Joel 2, 20)

Segment 5ה׳

הָכָא אִיהוּ נְקוּדָה חֲדָא, דְּקַיְּימָא לְגוֹ בְּגוֹ, וּמֵהָכָא נַפְקֵי כָּל אִינּוּן רוּחִין אַחֲרָנִין דְּשָׁטָאן בְּעָלְמָא, וְשַׁלְטִין בְּהַאי עָלְמָא, בְּכָל אִינּוּן מִלִּין וְעוֹבָדִין, דְּאִתְמְסָרוּ בְּסִטְרָא דִּשְׂמָאלָא. וּמֵהָכָא נַפְקֵי כָּל אִינּוּן זִיקִין נְצִיצִין, דְּמִתְדַּעֲכֵי לְאַלְתָּר, לַהֲטֵי וּמִתְדַּעֲכֵי. וּמֵאִלֵּין נָפְקִין רוּחִין אַחֲרָנִין, דְּשַׁטְיָין בְּעָלְמָא, וּמִשְׁתַּתְּפֵי לְאִינּוּן דְּנַפְקוּ מִגּוֹ תְּהוֹמָא רַבָּא. וְאִיהוּ הַאי הֵיכָלָא, כְּמָה דְאַתְּ אָמֵר (תהילים ל״ו:ז׳) מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ תְּהוֹם רַבָּה. וְאִינּוּן רוּחִין דְּלָא אִתְמְסָרוּ לְמִגְלָם בְּעָלְמִין, וְאִתְחָזוּן וְלָא אִתְחָזוּן אִתְחָזוּן כְּמָה דְּאִתְּמַר.

Here is one point that stands within the innermost, and from here go forth all those other spirits that roam in the world and rule in this world, in all those words and deeds that were delivered over to the left side. And from here go forth all those flashing sparks that are quenched at once, that flame and are quenched. And from these go forth other spirits that roam in the world, and join with those that came forth from within the great abyss. And this palace is as it says “Your judgements are like the great deep.” (Ps. 36, 7) And there are spirits that were not delivered over to be revealed in the worlds, and are seen and not seen — seen, as has been said.
