Segment 1א׳

פָּתַח רַבִּי יוֹסִי וְאָמַר, הָא דְּתָנֵינָן דִּצְלוֹתָא דְּעַרְבִית חוֹבָה, חוֹבָה אִיהִי וַדַּאי, בְּגִין דִּקְרִיאַת שְׁמַע דְּעַרְבִית חוֹבָה, וְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא אִתְיָחַד בְּלֵילְיָא, כְּמָה דְּאִתְיָחַד בִּימָמָא, וּמִדַּת לֵילְיָא אִתְכְּלִיל בִּימָמָא, וּמִדַּת יְמָמָא אִתְכְּלִיל בְּלֵילְיָא, וְאִתְעָבִיד יִחוּדָא חֲדָא. וּמַאן דְּאָמַר רְשׁוּת, בְּגִין אֵמוּרִין וּפְדָרִין דְּמִתְאֲכְּלֵי בְּלֵילְיָא (ק"ל ע"א) וְהָא אוֹקִימְנָא.

R. Jose then discoursed as follows. ‘According to one authority, the evening prayer is obligatory, (and it certainly is so, for the recital of the Shema is obligatory in the evening, and the unity of the Holy One is proclaimed at night as it is in the day, and the attribute of night is included in that of the day, and that of the day in the night, and one union is thus attained.

Segment 2ב׳

כְּתִיב (דברים ו׳:ה׳) וְאָהַבְתָּ אֶת יְיָ' אֱלֹהֶיךָ בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל נַפְשְׁךָ וְגוֹ', הַאי קְרָא אוֹקִימְנָא לֵיהּ, וְאוּקְמוּהָ חַבְרַיָּיא. אֲבָל אִית לְשָׁאֲלָא, אִי בְּהַאי יִחוּדָא דִּשְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל, אִתְכְּלִיל כֹּלָּא, יְמִינָא וּשְׂמָאלָא, אֲמַאי (כתיב) לְבָתַר וְאָהַבְתָּ (דברים יא) וְהָיָה אִם שָׁמוֹעַ, דְּהָא בְּיִחוּדָא אִתְכְּלִילוּ. אֲבָל הָתָם בִּכְלָל, וְהָכָא בִּפְרַט, וְהָכִי אִצְטְרִיךְ.

It is written, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul”, etc. (Deut. 6, 5). This has been interpreted by the Companions, but there is still a question to ask. If, in the recital of “Hear, O Israel,” all is included, the Right and the Left, why is it necessary to recite afterwards the passages, “And thou shalt love” and “And it will come to pass if ye shall hearken diligently unto My commandments…”? Are they not already included in the proclamation of the Unity? The fact, however, is that in the Shema they are referred to generally, and then they are particularized, which also is necessary.

Segment 3ג׳

וּבְרָזָא דְּיִחוּדָא דָּא אִתְּעַרְנָא בֵּיהּ, יִחוּדָא דָּא אִיהוּ כְּגַוְונָא דִּתְפִלִּין דְּרֵישָׁא, וּתְפִלִּין דִּדְרוֹעָא. בִּתְפִלִין דְּרִישָׁא ד' פָּרְשִׁיָּין, וְהָא אִתְּמַר, וְהָכָא תְּלַת שְׁמָהָן אִינּוּן. הָתָם בִּתְפִילִין דְּרֵישָׁא, ד' פָּרְשִׁיָּין, כָּל חַד וְחַד בִּלְחוֹדוֹי, וְהָכָא תְּלַת שְׁמָהָן, מַה בֵּין הַאי לְהַאי.

And in the mystery of this unity we have been roused. This unity is after the pattern of the phylacteries of the head and the phylacteries of the arm. In the phylacteries of the head there are four sections, as has been stated, and here there are three Names. There, in the phylacteries of the head, there are four sections, each one by itself; and here there are three Names. What is the difference between the one and the other?

Segment 4ד׳

אֶלָּא אִינּוּן ד' פָּרְשִׁיָּין, הָא אִתְּעֲרוּ בְּהוּ, חַד, נְקוּדָה קַדְמָאָה עִלָּאָה. וְחַד, רָזָא דְּעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי. וְחַד, יְמִינָא. וְחַד, שְׂמָאלָא. אִלֵּין רָזָא דִּתְפִלִּין דְּרֵישָׁא. וְהָכָא, בְּרָזָא דְּיִחוּדָא דָּא, תְּלַת שְׁמָהָן, וְאִינּוּן כְּגַוְונָא דְּאִינּוּן ד' פָּרָשִׁיּוֹת. יְיָ' (ט' ע"א) קַדְמָאָה, דָּא נְקוּדָה עִלָּאָה, רִאשִׁיתָא דְּכֹלָּא. אֱלהֵינוּ רָזָא דְּעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי. יְיָ' בַּתְרָאָה, כְּלָלָא דִּימִינָא וּשְׂמָאלָא כַּחֲדָא, בִּכְלָלָא חֲדָא, וְאִלֵּין אִינּוּן תְּפִלִּין דְּרִישָׁא, וְדָא אִיהוּ יִחוּדָא קַדְמָאָה.

But those four sections — they have already been roused concerning them: one is the primal supernal Point; one is the mystery of the world to come; one is the Right; and one is the Left. These are the mystery of the phylacteries of the head. And here, in the mystery of this unity, there are three Names, and they are after the pattern of those four sections. The first TETRAGRAMMATON — this is the supernal Point, the beginning of all. Elohenu is the mystery of the world to come. The second TETRAGRAMMATON is the comprehension of Right and Left together in a single whole. And these are the phylacteries of the head, and this is the first unity.

Segment 5ה׳

תְּפִלִּין דִּדְרוֹעָא, כְּלָלָא דְּכָל הָנֵי כַּחֲדָא, וְדָא אִיהוּ רָזָא בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד. הָכָא כְּלָלָא דְּאִינּוּן תְּפִלִּין דְּרֵישָׁא, דְּאִתְכְּלִילוּ גּוֹ תְּפִלִּין דִּדְרוֹעָא.

The phylacteries of the arm are the comprehension of all these together, and this is the mystery of “Blessed be the Name of the glory of His Kingdom for ever and ever.” Here is the comprehension of those phylacteries of the head, which are comprised within the phylacteries of the arm.
