31. The deans of the Yeshiva, under oath you must not go away from me until I prepare a sacrifice to the Holy One, blessed be He. The Shechinah is the sacrifice (derived from 'bringing near') for the Holy One, blessed be He, since She comes near to Him with each limb of the King, MEANING WITH EACH OF HIS SFIROT, with the total connection of male and female, with all the limbs which there are. Some are from the head: MEANING eyes to eyes, DENOTING CHOCHMAH; ears to ears, DENOTING BINAH; nose to nose, BEING TIFERET; face to face, BEING CHESED AND GVURAH; mouth to mouth, BEING MALCHUT. This is like, "and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes" (II Melachim 4:34); with this he resurrected the child. And so the hands of the King with the hands of the Queen, BEING CHESED AND GVURAH OF THE SIX ENDS, body to body, MEANING TIFERET OF THE SIX ENDS. And with all His limbs, the sacrifice is complete.
31. מָארֵי מְתִיבְתָּאן, בְּאוֹמָאָה עָלַיְיכוּ, לָא תַּעְדוּ מִנִּי, עַד דְּאַתְקִין קָרְבְּנִין לקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא. דִּשְׁכִינְתָּא אִיהִי קָרְבָּן לַיְיָ,' בְּכָל אֵבֶר וְאֵבֶר דְּמַלְכָּא, בְּחִבּוּרָא שְׁלִים, בִּדְכַר וְנוּקְבָּא. בְּכָל אֵבָרִים, דְּאִינּוּן: מִנְּהוֹן בְּרֵישָׁא, עַיְינִין בְּעַיְינִין. אוּדְנִין לְגַבֵּי אוּדְנִין. חוֹטָמָא בְּחוֹטָמָא. אַנְפִּין בְּאַנְפִּין. פּוּמָא בְּפוּמָא. כְּגוֹן וַיָּשֶׂם פִּיו עַל פִּיו וְעֵינָיו עַל עֵינָיו. וּבְדָא הֲוָה מְחַיֶּה הַיֶּלֶד. וְהָכִי יְדִין דְּמַלְכָּא, עִם יְדִין דְּמַטְרוֹנִיתָא, גּוּפָא בְּגוּפָא, בְּכָל אֵבָרִים דִּילֵיהּ. קָרְבְּנָא שְׁלִים.
42. Some PROPHETS are superior IN THEIR PROPHECIES, which are from the limbs of the King's body, NAMELY OF THE GRADES OF THE WORLD OF BRIYAH CALLED 'BODY.' Of them it says, "and I saw," SINCE THEY PROPHECY through eye sight, WHICH IS CHOCHMAH. ALSO, "Hashem, I have heard the report of You, and I was afraid" (Chavakuk 3:2) pertains to hearing, NAMELY BINAH. Ezekiel saw and prophesied from the eyes, and Habakkuk from ears by hearing. Ezekiel therefore saw all the sights of the Divine Chariot in the vision of his mind's eye; Habakkuk by hearing, AS HE SAID, "HASHEM, I HAVE HEARD THE REPORT OF YOU, AND I WAS AFRAID." There is a prophecy coming from the mouth, WHICH IS IN MALCHUT, as it is written: "and he laid it upon my mouth" (Yeshayah 6:7). Another prophecy comes from the breath of the nose, TIFERET, as it says, "And a spirit (also: 'breath') entered into me" (Yechezkel 2:2). There is he who prophecies from the hand, GVURAH, as it is written: "and used similes by the hands of the prophets" (Hoshea 12:11). ALL THESE GRADES PERTAIN TO THE WORLD OF BRIYAH. There are some inside the King's life, NAMELY IN THE WORLD OF ATZILUT, and others in the innermost, NAMELY BINAH OF ATZILUT.
