The first three Sfirot of the lights and the Netzach, Hod, and Yesod of the vessels of Chayah of Zeir Anpin

Synopsis

Rabbi Shimon tells us about the great tree that is the whole body of Zeir Anpin, saying that this tree has food in it for everything. He outlines the Sfirot in terms of the positioning on the body, and says that in Yesod lies the whole desire of Zeir Anpin for Malchut. We are told that Zion is the covered place of Malchut, just like a woman's womb.

189. The male, WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN, further expands to the right and left of the inheritance of the possession, NAMELY CHOCHMAH AND BINAH CALLED THE INHERITANCE OF ABA AND IMA. When the colors, RIGHT ON THE RIGHT AND RED ON THE LEFT join IN THE CENTRAL COLUMN, it is called Tiferet and the whole body is formed into a big and strong, comely and handsome tree. Underneath it wild animals, THE HOSTS OF BRIYAH, wander and in its boughs dwell the birds of the sky, WHICH ARE THE HOSTS OF YETZIRAH. In it is food for everything. Its arms are right and left, CHESED AND GVURAH, on the right ARE EXTENDED life and Chesed; on its left ARE EXTENDED death and Gvurah. Its bowels, THAT IS, ITS INNER ASPECT, is fixed with Da'at and fills all the corridors and all the chambers, WHICH ARE NETZACH, HOD AND YESOD AND CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET as I said, as it is written, "and by knowledge are the chambers filled" (Mishlei 24:4).

190. The body further expands to the two legs NETZACH AND HOD and between them unite two kidneys and two testicles of the male, WHICH ARE THE INTERNAL NETZACH AND HOD. FROM THE KIDNEY THE LIQUID REFUSE FLOWS TO THE EXTERNAL FORCES, AND FROM THE TESTICLES SEMEN FLOWS TO SOULS. For all oil, greatness, and the force of the whole body is gathered in them, IN THE TWO TESTICLES, as all the hosts that come out TO BRIYAH, YETZIRAH AND ASIYAH come out from them. They all dwell at the tip of the penis, which is why they are called hosts. And they are Netzach and Hod. Tiferet IS CALLED Yud Hei Vav Hei, and Netzach and Hod ARE CALLED hosts (Heb. Tzva'ot). Hence THEY ARE CALLED TOGETHER IN THE VERSE 'Hashem Tzva'ot.'
