זוהר, פנחס ל״בZohar, Pinchas 32

Segment 1א׳

דָּבָר אַחֵר שָׁמְרָה נַפְשִׁי כִּי חָסִיד אָנִי, אֲמַאי. כְּדֵי שֶׁאֶתְחָסֵּד עִם אֲנִ"י. דְּאִתְּמַר בֵּיהּ אֲנִ"י וָה"וּ. וַוי לֵיהּ לְמַאן דְּאַפְרִישׁ אֲנִי מִן הוּא. דְּאִתְּמַר (תהילים ק׳:ג׳) הוּא עָשָׂנוּ וְלֹא אֲנַחְנוּ. דְּכֹלָּא חַד בְּלָא פִּרוּדָא. הֲדָא הוּא דִכְתִיב, (דברים ל״ב:ל״ט) רְאוּ עַתָּה כִּי אֲנִי אֲנִי הוּא אֲנִי אָמִית וַאֲחַיֶּה מָחַצְתִּי וַאֲנִי אֶרְפָּא וְאֵין מִיָּדִי מַצִּיל. אֲנִי יְדוָֹ"ד, אֲנִי הוּא וְלֹא אַחֵר. וְדָא אֲנִי מִן אֲדֹנָ"י. יְדוָֹד עַמּוּדָא דְּאֶמְצָעִיתָא.

Another interpretation: “Keep my soul, for I am pious” — why? So that I may deal piously with Ani (I), of whom it is said: Ani va-Ho. Woe to him who separates Ani from Hu (He), as it is said, “It is He who made us, and not we ourselves” (Ps. 100, 3); for all is one, without separation. This is what is written, “See now that I, even I, am He; I kill, and I make alive; I have wounded, and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand” (Deut. 32, 39). “I am the Lord” — I am He, and no other. And this Ani is from Adonai; the Tetragrammaton is the Central Column.

Segment 2ב׳

וּבְגִין דְּיְדוָֹ"ד אִיהוּ לִימִינָא דְּאִיהִי חֶסֶד, אָמַר, שָׁמְרָה נַפְשִׁי דְּאֶתְחַסֵּד בָּךְ עִם אֲנִי, וְאִיהוּ אֲדֹנָ"י לַגְּבוּרָה. וּבְתִפְאֶרֶת, אִתְחַבְּרָן תְּרֵין שְׁמָהָן יאהדונה"י. וְרָזָא דְּמִלָּה בְּחֶסֶד וּבִגְבוּרָה, (יחזקאל א׳:י״א) וּפְנֵיהֶם וְכַנְפֵיהֶם פְּרוּדוֹת מִלְמָעְלָה וּבְתִפְאֶרֶת, דְּאִתְקְרֵי (שמות ט״ו:ג׳) יְדוָֹ"ד אִישׁ מִלְחָמָה, מַה כְּתִיב (יחזקאל א׳:י״א) שְׁתַּיִם חוֹבְרוֹת אִישׁ, תַּרְתֵּין שְׁמָהָן מִתְחַבְּרָן בֵּיהּ כַּחֲדָא. וּשְׁתַּיִם מְכַסּוֹת אֶת גְּוִיּוֹתֵיהֶנָה. תִּפְאֶרֶת אִתְקְרֵי גּוּף, (דניאל י׳:ו׳) וּגְוִיָּתוֹ כַתַרְשִׁישׁ יאההויה"ה.

And because the Tetragrammaton is to the right, which is chesed, he said, “Keep my soul” — that I may deal piously with You together with Ani; and that is Adonai, toward gevurah (severity). And in tiferet (beauty) the two names are joined: Yod-Aleph-He-Daleth-Vau-Nun-He-Yod. And the mystery of the matter, in chesed and in gevurah: “And their faces and their wings were separate above” (Ezek. 1, 11). And in tiferet, which is called “The Lord is a man (ish) of war” (Ex. 15, 3), what is written? “Two were joined one (ish) to another” (Ezek. 1, 11): two names are joined in it together. “And two covered their bodies”: tiferet is called body — “His body also was like the beryl” (Dan. 10, 6) — Yod-Aleph-He-He-Vau-Yod-He-He.
