Section 57 of 98 in Terumah — 8 segments

Segment 1א׳

מִכָּאן רָזִין סְתִימִין דְּבֵי מַשְׁכְּנָא, מִפּוּמָא דְּבוּצִינָא. מַשְׁכְּנָא עִלָּאָה, אִתְבְּנֵי עַל תְּרֵיסַר מַרְגְּלִיטִין, שַׁיְיפִין עִלָּאִין, יְמִינָא וּשְׂמָאלָא, שְׂמָאלָא וִימִינָא.

There are two celestial Tabernacles: the one, the supernal concealed Tabernacle, and the other, the Tabernacle of the Metatron. And there are also two priests: the one is the primeval Light, and the other Michael, the High Priest below.

Segment 2ב׳

תְּלַת שְׁמָהָן אִינּוּן כְּלִילָן כַּחֲדָא, וְדָא עָיֵיל בְּדָא, וְדָא עָיֵיל בְּדָא. אֵ"ל, קַדְמָאָה וְאִתְסָדַר בִּימִינָא. א, אִיהוּ קַדְמָאָה דְּאִיהִי (ויקרא ג') יְמִינָא, וְאַגְּלִים וְאִתְצָיָיר בְּרָזָא דִּימִינָא, וְכַד עָיֵיל וְקָא מְשַׁמֵּשׁ לְגוֹ אִתְאֲחָד בַּהֲדֵיהּ ל, וְאִקְרֵי בְּרָזָא דִּילֵיהּ אֵ"ל, דְּהָא ל' מֵרָזָא דִּלְעֵילָּא גּוֹ קֹדֶשׁ הַקָּדָשִׁים נָפַק.

Three Names are these, comprised as one, and this one enters into that, and that one enters into this. El (God) is the first, and it is set in order on the right. Aleph is the first, which is the right, and it took bodily form and was shaped in the mystery of the right; and when it enters and ministers within, Lamed joins with it, and it is called, by its own mystery, El, for the Lamed came out from the mystery above, from within the Holy of Holies.

Segment 3ג׳

לָאו דְּתַמָּן אַגְּלִים, אֶלָּא וַדַּאי כַּד נָפַק אַגְּלִים, כִּשְׁאַר אַתְוָון, דְּכַד נָפְקוּ מֵרָזָא דְּעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי, אַגְלִימוּ וְאִתְצָיָירוּ. אוּף הָכִי הַאי ל', אַף עַל גַּב דְּאִיהוּ רָזָא דִּלְעֵילָּא, לָא אַגְּלִים, עַד דְּנָפַק לְבַר, וּכְדֵין אֵ"ל. וְדָא רָזָא דִּימִינָא.

Not that it took bodily form there; rather, assuredly, when it came out it took bodily form, like the rest of the letters, which, when they came out from the mystery of the world to come, took bodily form and were shaped. So too this Lamed: although it is a mystery of that which is above, it did not take bodily form until it went out; and then, El. And this is the mystery of the right.

Segment 4ד׳

שְׂמָאלָא כָּלִיל בְּגַוֵּיהּ לִימִינָא, וְנָטִיל הַאי שְׁמָא לְגַבֵּיהּ, וְאִתְכְּלִיל בַּהֲדֵיהּ, וְכַד אִתְכְּלִיל בַּהֲדֵיהּ אִקְרֵי אִיהוּ אֱלֹהִים. וְאִי תֵּימָא, הָא אַקְדִּים שְׂמָאלָא בְּרָזָא דְּעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי.

The left includes the right within itself, and takes this Name to itself, and is comprised with it; and when it is comprised with it, it is called Elohim. And should you say: but surely the left came first in the mystery of the world to come?

Segment 5ה׳

וַדַּאי הָכִי הוּא. אֶלָּא, כַּד נָפְקוּ דַּרְגִּין, בְּרָזָא דְּאַתְוָון מִגּוֹ עָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי, בָּעָא שְׁמָא דָּא לְאִתְחֲזָאָה וּלְאִתְבְּנֵי, לְאַחֲזָאָה עַל הַהוּא אֲתָר דְּנַפְקֵי מִתַּמָּן, וְאִתְבְּנִי שְׁמָא דָּא, כְּגַוְונָא דָּא. אֵ"ל בְּקַדְמִיתָא בְּסִטְרָא דִּימִינָא, אִתְכְּלִיל גּוֹ שְׂמָאלָא, וְנָטִיל לֵיהּ שְׂמָאלָא, וְאִקְרֵי אֱלֹהִים, וְדָא אִיהוּ רָזָא דִּימִינָא, אֲמָר לֵיהּ בִּשְׁמָא וכו' בִּשְׁמָא דֶּאֱלֹהִים, וְעַל רָזָא דָּא, בְּכָל אֲתָר דְּאִיהוּ דִּינָא, תַּמָּן אִיהוּ רַחֲמֵי, דְּהָא כָּלִיל אִיהוּ דִּינָא, וְהָא אִתְבְּנֵי וְאִתְחַזֵּי.

Assuredly it is so. But when the grades came out in the mystery of the letters from within the world to come, this Name required to be shown and to be built, so as to point to that place from which they came out; and this Name was built in this manner. El first, on the side of the right; it was comprised within the left, and the left took it, and it is called Elohim; and this is the mystery of the right. He said to him by the Name, etc., by the Name of Elohim. And upon this mystery, in every place where there is judgement, there is mercy, for the judgement is comprised within it; and thus it has been built and shown.
