2. Come and behold, although the sun illuminates the whole world, it travels in only two directions, as it is written, "Goes towards the south, and veers to the north" (Kohelet 1:6), for south is the Right COLUMN and north is the Left COLUMN. And the sun rises every day from the east side, FROM ITS OWN ASPECT, TIFERET, and travels toward the south side, TO THE RIGHT COLUMN, CHESED. It then veers to the north side, TO THE LEFT COLUMN, GVURAH. THAT IS, IT EVENTUALLY COMBINES THE ILLUMINATION FROM BOTH COLUMNS. And from the north it veers toward the west, THE NUKVA. Then the sun moves to the west, where it sets. HE EXPLAINED THAT the sun rises in the east, as it is written, "And Jacob went out from Beer-Sheva," WHEN THE TWO COLUMNS, SOUTH AND NORTH, WERE COMBINED IN HIM. The sun goes west TO THE NUKVA, as it is written, "And went toward Charan." THIS TEACHES US THAT THE ILLUMINATION ALLUDED TO IN THE TEXT, "AND JACOB WENT OUT," IS A COMPLETE ILLUMINATION COMPRISING THE TWO COLUMNS, RIGHT AND LEFT, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF CHOCHMAH AND CHASSADIM COMBINED.
