Segment 1א׳

וְאוֹקְמוּהָ רַבָּנָן, כָּל הַקּוֹרֵא קְרִיאַת שְׁמַע עַרְבִית וְשַׁחֲרִית, כְּאִילּוּ מְקַיֵּים (יהושע א׳:ח׳) וְהָגִיתָ בּוֹ יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה. דְּטַלִּית לְבָנָה, אִיהוּ לִימִינָא מִסִּטְרָא דְּחֶסֶד. וְאִתְּמַר, אֵל מֶלֶךְ יוֹשֵׁב עַל כִּסֵּא רַחֲמִים וּמִתְנַהֵג בַּחֲסִידוּת. (ישעיהו ט״ז:ה׳) וְהוּכַן בַּחֶסֶד כִּסֵּא. חֶסֶד סָלִיק ע"ב חוּלְיָין וְקִשְׁרִין דְּטַלִּית.

And the Rabbis explained it: Whoever recites the Shema evening and morning, it is as though he fulfils “and you shall meditate on it day and night” (Josh. 1, 8). For the white garment is to the right, from the side of chesed. And it is said: “God, King, who sits upon the throne of mercy and conducts Himself with piety.” “And a throne is established in lovingkindness” (Isa. 16, 5). Chesed mounts up to seventy-two links and knots of the garment.

Segment 2ב׳

וְאִית טַלִית מִסִּטְרָא דִּמְטַטְרוֹ"ן, דְּאִיהוּ טֵ"ט, כָּלִיל ח"י, בֵּין קִשְׁרִין וְחוּלְיָין לְכָל סִטְרָא. ה' קִשְׁרִין לָקֳבֵל ה' חוֹמָשֵׁי תּוֹרָה. וּתְלֵיסָר חוּלְיָין, לָקֳבֵל תְּלֵיסַר מְכִילָן דְּרַחֲמֵי דְּאוֹרַיְיתָא. דְּאִתְּמַר בְּהוֹן, בי"ג מִדּוֹת הַתּוֹרָה נִדְרֶשֶׁת.

And there is a garment from the side of Metatron, who is Teth-Teth, comprising eighteen, between knots and links on each side: five knots, corresponding to the five books of the Torah; and thirteen links, corresponding to the thirteen attributes of mercy of the Torah, of which it is said: By thirteen rules the Torah is expounded.

Segment 3ג׳

וּבְגִינָהּ אִתְּמַר, כְּמַרְאֵה אָדָם עָלָיו מִלְמָעְלָה. בְּדִיּוּקְנָא דְּתִפְאֶרֶת, דְּאִיהוּ תִפְאֶרֶת אָדָם עָלָיו מִלְמָעְלָה. וְאִתְקְרֵי בִּשְׁמֵיהּ, יוֹ"ד הֵ"א וָא"ו הֵ"א. (ישעיהו מ״ג:ז׳) כֹּל הַנִקְרָא בִשְׁמִי וְלִכְבוֹדִי בְּרָאתִיו יְצַּרְתִּיו אַף עֲשִׂיתִיו. וּלְעֵילָּא כְּמַרְאֵה אָדָם, דָּא שְׁכִינְתָּא, דְּאִיהִי כְּחֵיזוּ דְּעַמּוּדָא דְּאֶמְצָּעִיתָא, בְּד' אַנְפִּין, וּבְעֶשֶׂר סְפִירָאן, דְּאִינּוּן אָדָם. וְאַרְבַּע אַנְפִּין דְּאָדָם, אַרְבַּע אַתְוָון. וְאִינּוּן י"ד אַתְוָון, וּבְהוֹן (הושע י״ב:י״א) וּבְיַד הַנְּבִיאִים אֲדַמֶּה.

And for its sake it is said, “as the appearance of a man upon it above”: in the image of tiferet, which is “the beauty of a man” upon it above. And it is called by His name, Yod-Vau-Daleth, He-Aleph, Vau-Aleph-Vau, He-Aleph: “Every one that is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, I have formed him, yea, I have made him” (Isa. 43, 7). And above, “as the appearance of a man” — this is the Shekinah, which is as the vision of the Central Column, in four faces and in ten sefirot, which are Adam. And the four faces of Adam are four letters; and they are fourteen letters, and by them, “and by the hand of the prophets have I used similitudes (adammeh)” (Hos. 12, 11).

Segment 4ד׳

וְעוֹד אִתְקְרֵי חַ"י, מִסִּטְרָא דְּצַּדִּיק, וּבֵיהּ קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא וּשְׁכִינְתֵּיהּ אִתְקְרֵי אָז אָדָם, דְּאִיהוּ עַמּוּדָא דְּאֶמְצָּעִיתָא, טַ"ל, וּשְׁכִינְתֵּיהּ ה'. וּבְה' אִיהוּ אָדָם. בְּגִין דְּטַ"ל הָכִי סָלִיק בְּחוּשְׁבַּן יוֹ"ד הֵ"א וָא"ו. וְהַאי אִיהוּ מוֹרִיד הַטַ"ל, לְגַבֵּי הֵ"א. קֶשֶׁר דְּטַלִית, חַ"י עָלְמִין, דְּקָשִׁיר קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא וּשְׁכִינְתֵּיהּ בְּכָל סִטְרִין, בְּאַרְבַּע כַּנְפוֹת דְּטַלִית.

And further it is called chai, from the side of the Righteous One; and by it the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shekinah are then called Adam: the Central Column, tal (dew); and His Shekinah, He; and with He it is Adam. For tal mounts up thus by the reckoning of Yod-Vau-Daleth, He-Aleph, Vau-Aleph-Vau. And this is “He who causes the dew to descend” — toward He-Aleph. The knot of the garment is the Life of the worlds, which binds the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shekinah on every side, in the four corners of the garment.

Segment 5ה׳

תְּפִלִּין מִשְּׂמָאלָא, הֲדָא הוּא דִכְתִיב, (ישעיהו ס״ב:ח׳) נִשְׁבַּע יְיָ בִּימִינוֹ וּבִזְרוֹעַ עֻזּוֹ. בִּימִינוֹ, זוֹ תּוֹרָה. וּבִזְרוֹעַ עֻזּוֹ, אֵלּוּ תְּפִלִּין. יְהוָֹ"ה בְּד' פָּרְשִׁיָין. אֲדֹנָ"י הֵיכָלָא לְד' אַתְוָון, בְּד' בָּתֵּי דִּתְפִלִין. קֶשֶׁר שֶׁל תְּפִלִין דְּיַד, דָּא צַּדִּיק חַ"י עָלְמִין, דְּאִיהוּ קִשּׁוּרָא דְּתַרְוַויְיהוּ. בִּזְרוֹעַ שְׂמָאלָא. קֶשֶׁר דְּרֵישָׁא, דָּא עַמּוּדָא דְּאֶמְצָּעִיתָא, דְּאָחִיד בֵּיהּ יְדוָֹ"ד אֶהְיְ"ה לְעֵילָּא, דְּאִינּוּן (כת"ר) חָכְמָ"ה וּבִינָ"ה.

The phylacteries are from the left. This is what is written: “The Lord has sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength” (Isa. 62, 8). “By His right hand” — this is the Torah; “and by the arm of His strength” — these are the phylacteries. The Tetragrammaton in four sections; Adonai, a palace for the four letters, in the four compartments of the phylacteries. The knot of the phylacteries of the hand — this is the Righteous One, the Life of the worlds, who is the binding of the two of them, on the left arm. The knot of the head — this is the Central Column, in which the Tetragrammaton, Ehyeh, above, is held, which are (a variant adds: keter) chochmah and binah.
