Segment 1א׳

רעיא מהימנא (במדבר כ״ח:י״א) וּבְרָאשֵׁי חָדְשֵׁיכֶם, אִינּוּן יַעֲקֹב וְיוֹסֵף. (בראשית ל״ז:ב׳) אֵלֶּה תּוֹלְדוֹת יַעֲקֹב יוֹסֵף, דִּמְחַדְּתֵּי עַל סִיהֲרָא. אַשְׁכַּחְנָא בְּסִפְרָא דְּחֲנוֹךְ דְּאָמַר, כְּמָה דִּבְרֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ, דְּאִתְדַּכִּיאַת סִיהֲרָא לְאִתְקָרְבָא בְּבַעְלָהּ, אִצְטְרִיךְ לְמֵיהַב לְסִטְרָא אַחֲרָא חוּלָקָא חֲדָא, בְּהַהוּא זִינָא דִּילָהּ. אוּף הָכִי נָמֵי אִצְטְרִיכַת לְאִתְּתָא, בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּאִתְדַּכִּיאַת לְאִתְקָרְבָא בְּבַעְלָהּ, לְמֵיהַב חוּלָקָא חֲדָא לְסִטְרָא אַחֲרָא, בְּהַהוּא זִינָא דִּילֵיהּ.

Ra'aya Meheimna. “And in your new moons” (Num. 28, 11): these are Jacob and Joseph — “These are the generations of Jacob: Joseph” (Gen. 37, 2) — who are renewed over the moon. I have found in the Book of Enoch that it says: just as on the New Moon, when the moon is purified to draw near to her husband, one portion must be given to the other side, of that kind of hers; so too a woman must, at the time when she is purified to draw near to her husband, give one portion to the other side, of that kind of his.

Segment 2ב׳

וּמַאן אִיהוּ. הַהוּא חוּלָקָא טוּפְרָהָא בְּטִנּוּפָא דִּלְהוֹן. וּזְעֵיר מֵרֵישׁ דְּשַׂעֲרָא, בְּגִין דְּבָעֵי לְאַסְרְקָא רֵישָׁא, וּלְאַכְרְכָא לוֹן דָּא בְּדָא, וְלָא יֵזִיל אֲבַתְרָהּ הַהוּא סִטְרָא בִּישָׁא, לְאַבְאָשָׁא לָהּ, וְאִתְפְּרַשׁ מִנָּהּ בְּכָל סִטְרִין. וּמַה תַּעֲבִיד, מֵהַהוּא שַׂעֲרָא וְטוּפְרִין. לְבָתַר דְּתַכְרִיךְ לוֹן כַּחֲדָא, אִצְטְרִיךְ לְאָנָחָא לוֹן בַּאֲתָר דְּלָא עַבְרִין תַּמָּן בְּנֵי נָשָׁא, אוֹ בְּגוֹ חוֹרִין תַּתָּאִין דַּחֲצֵרָא, וְתַגְנִיז לוֹן תַּמָּן. (ועוד ובראשי חדשיכם אמרו, שייך כאן)

And what is it? That portion is her nails, with their dirt, and a little of the hair of the head; because she must comb the head, and wind them together, one with the other, so that that evil side should not go after her to do her harm, and may be parted from her on every side. And what shall she do with that hair and nails? After she has wound them together, she must put them in a place where people do not pass, or within the lower holes of the courtyard, and hide them there. (And further: “And in your new moons,” they said — belongs here.)

Segment 3ג׳

וְעוֹד וּבְרָאשֵׁי חָדְשֵׁיכֶם אָמְרוּ רַבָּנָן דְּמַתְנִיתִין, דְּכַד הֲווֹ מְקַדְּשִׁין יַרְחִין עַל פִּי בֵּית דִּין, הֲווֹ מַשִּׂיאִין מַשּׂוּאוֹת בְּרָאשֵׁי הֶהָרִים, וַהֲווּ אַמְרִין כָּזֶה רְאֵה וְקַדֵּשׁ. לְזִמְנִין סִהֲרָא הֲוַת כְּגַוְונָא דָּא הֲוָה מִסְתַכְּלָא לְעֵילָא בְּקַרְנָא. וּלְזִמְנִין מִסְתַכְּלָא לְתַתָּא כְּגווָֹנָא דָּא לְזִמְנִין מִסְתַכְּלָא לְמִזְרָח כְּגווָֹנָא דָּא כ לְזִמְנִין לְמַעֲרָב כְּגווָֹנָא דָּא לְזִמְנִין לְדָרוֹם וּלְזִמְנִין לַצָּפוֹן וְהַאי אִיהוּ כ אִסְתַכְּלוּתָהּ דִּילָהּ לְשִׁית סִטְרִין דְּכָלִיל לוֹן תִפְאֶרֶת דְאִיהוּ ו' גְּדוּלָּה גְּבוּרָה תִּפְאֶרֶת. נֶצַח הוֹד יְסוֹד.

And further: “And in your new moons” — the sages of the Mishnah said that when they would sanctify the months by the court, they would kindle beacons on the tops of the mountains, and they would say: “Like this, see and sanctify.” At times the moon was like this: she looked upward with her horn. And at times she looked downward, like this; at times she looked to the east, like this; at times to the west, like this; at times to the south, and at times to the north. And this is her gazing toward the six sides which tiferet comprises, which is Vau: gedulah, gevurah, tiferet, netzach, hod, yesod.
