Segment 1א׳

ד' מִינִין בַּלוּלָב, וְאִינּוּן שִׁבְעָה. וְאִי תֵּימָא דְּז' מִינִין אִינּוּן. לָאו הָכֵי, אֶלָּא אַרְבְּעָה נִינְהוּ וְאִינּוּן מִתְפָּרְשִׁין לִתְלָתָא אוֹחֲרָנִין. וּבְעוֹבָדָא דִּלְהוֹן אִתְּעֲרוּ שִׁבְעָה אָחֳרָנִין לְעֵילָּא, לְאוֹטָבָא עָלְמָא בְּכַמָּה סִטְרִין.

There are four species in the lulab (palm-branch) which diverge into seven, and through their employment corresponding ones are roused above to benefit the world in various ways.

Segment 2ב׳

כְּנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל, אַף עַל גַּב דְּאִיהִי בִּכְלָלָא, מִתְבָּרְכָא מְכֻּלְּהוּ שִׁית, (ס"א ולאתברכא מאינון שית) וּמִנַּחֲלָא דַּעֲמִיקָא דְּמַבּוּעָא, דְּנָגִיד וְלָא פָּסִיק לְעָלְמִין מֵימוֹי דְּנַגְדָא (ס"א מלנגדא) עָלַיְיהוּ, וְיַנְקָא לְבַת. דְּהָא בְּגִין דְּאִיהִי בַּת לָהּ לְעָלְמָא עִלָּאָה וְתַתָּאָה, אִתְבָּרְכָא מִנַּיְיהוּ בְּאִתְעָרוּתָא דָּא. דְּהָא בְּשַׁעֲתָא דִּכְנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל אִתְבָּרְכָא מִנַּיְיהוּ, כֻּלְּהוּ עָלְמִין אִתְבָּרְכָן. עַל דָּא סוֹבְבִים אֶת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ כְּמָה (כ"ד ע"ב) דְּאִתְּמַר.

And though the Community of Israel is one of these Seven, yet She is herself blessed from the other six and from the Stream which issues from the perennial source. The lower world is also blessed from them through this impulse, for when the Community of Israel is blessed by them all worlds are blessed. For this reason it was customary to go in procession round the altar on this festival (Tabernacles).

Segment 3ג׳

וְעוֹד בְּאִתְּעָרוּתָא דָּא, שִׁיתָא כֻּלְּהוּ מִתְבָּרְכָא בְּמַיָּא, לְאִסְתַּפְּקָא בֵּיהּ, וְאִשְׁתַּאֲבִין כֻּלְּהוּ מִמַּבּוּעָא דְּיֵינָא (ס"א דימא) (דמיא) (ס"א דנחלא) עֲמִיקָא דְּכֹלָּא, לְנַחְתָּא לְעָלְמָא. וּבְגִין כָּךְ, בַּעְיָין כֻּלְּהוּ לַחִין וְלָא יְבֵשִׁין, לְאַמְשָׁכָא בִּרְכָאן לְעָלְמָא, בְּגִין דְּאִילָנֵי אִלֵּין, כֻּלְּהוּ לַחִין תְּדִירָא, וְטַרְפִּין דִּלְהוֹן מִשְׁתַּכְּחִין תְּדִירָא, וּזְמַן חֶדְוָותָא דִּלְהוֹן בְּהַאי זִמְנָא.

And further, by this rousing all six are blessed with water, to be supplied from it; and they all drink from the fount of wine, deepest of all, to come down to the world. And therefore they must all be moist and not dry, to draw down blessings to the world; for these trees are all of them moist continually, and their leaves are found continually, and the time of their gladness is at this season.
