SYNOPSIS:

We hear about the Patriarchs in their travels, their deeds and their knots or unifications. Wherever the Patriarchs are found, the rest of the Righteous are also found. We are given a detailed description of the seven knots in the 72 names, and are told that during the moment that all the steps of the Name 72 are present, the total Faith is present. The Shechinah always travels with the Patriarchs, and when they travel all other levels travel within them. Finally we hear that while Zebulun inherited the Sea of Galilee that is Malchut, Judah took all Malchut and united it in all its own levels.

Translation

Behold the Patriarchs in their travels, in deeds to raise Female Waters, and in knots, that is, with unifications with which they connect that bind one to the other. In each name of these 72 names all Patriarchs are bound together, since they are the three Columns. When they join together, there is nobody who can stand up to them. We have learned that wherever the Patriarchs are, we also find with them the rest of the righteous, such as Moses, Aaron and Joseph. Therefore, this name of 72 goes in differently explained ways, although all explanations have a similar outcome.

chanoch's Commentary

All the meanings of all the 72 Names have positive meanings even when they appear to be negative it means that they act as a vaccine. Also when we put all of the letters together that relate to a particular Patriarch we have all of the attributes associated with that Sefirah.

Translation

There are seven knots in the 72 names and to every individual knot, the three Patriarchs that are Chesed, Gvurah and Tiferet are connected along with four others THAT ARE NETZACH, HOD, YESOD AND MALCHUT. HE GOES ON TO EXPLAIN that the head of the 72 names, the three Sfirot, Chochmah, Binah and Da'at, that are referred to as 'head', and the center within them, which is Malchut, are tied into one. For Chochmah and Binah are the ones that dug the water well, which is Malchut, as it is written: "the well that the princes dug out" (Bemidbar 21:18), who are Chochmah and Binah. Therefore, Chochmah, Binah, Da'at and Malchut are in one knot. The second connection is, "the one...the other" (Shemot 14:20), meaning the two columns of Chesed and Gvurah, about which is said, "The one came not near the other." They are one knot that starts with three Yud's.

chanoch's Commentary

The 3 Yoods referred to is the Priestly Blessing of 3 verses each.

Translation

The third Knot is Tiferet, which is the Central Column, and that is the total perfection of the whole Faith, for it bestows upon Malchut, that is referred to as 'Faith', and complements it. The fourth knot is two pillars upon which the body stands, which are Netzach and Hod, and are considered as Netzach. The fifth Knot is Hod, within which there is good and evil, a river that flows to the Tree of Life and Death, which is Malchut, since Hod bestows upon Malchut. It is the deepest of all, meaning that it contains more Judgments than any other Sfirah. The sixth KNOT IS YESOD, within which there is Judgment with Mercy. The seventh KNOT, WHICH IS MALCHUT, was ALREADY mentioned in the beginning, that it is included in that head which we spoke of, since it is the center of everything, AS MENTIONED. Since it is the center of everything, it is called 'Aleph-Nun-Yud', which supports all the branches that are united around it.

chanoch's Commentary

These seven steps, THE SEVEN KNOTS MENTIONED ABOVE, are from one level to another level, FROM THE FIRST LEVEL TO THE LAST LEVEL. One Chariot is known in them for all the names that unite in it, and also from one level to another MEANING THAT SIMILARLY EACH INDIVIDUAL LEVEL IS A COMPLETE CHARIOT ON ITS OWN. ALTHOUGH IN EACH STEP THERE ARE THE SAME SEVEN SFIROT CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET, NETZACH, HOD, YESOD AND MALCHUT, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM IS THAT IN EACH LEVEL, all follow the level that is assigned to them. We have already explained these matters. For example, in the level of Chesed, there are seven Sfirot Chesed, Gvurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod and Malchut but all follow the dominant Sfirah of Chesed. Similarly, Gvurah has all the seven Sfirot Chesed, Gvurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod and Malchut all carry on according to the dominant Sfirah of Gvurah. And it is the same with every level.

Translation

Come and behold: when all these steps OF THE NAME 72 are present, the total Faith is present, MEANING THE WHOLENESS OF MALCHUT. These SEVEN KNOTS are seven clouds that surrounded Yisrael and they totaled ten, since Chesed includes the first three Sfirot, as known. Therefore, when the Shechinah travels, she travels with the Patriarchs, THAT ARE CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET, WHICH ARE THE SECRET OF THE NAME 72. FOR when they travel, all other levels travel within them, AS MENTIONED, and then the Congregation of Yisrael, WHICH IS MALCHUT, is adorned properly.

Translation

Come and behold: Zebulun, as we spoke, inherited the Sea of Galilee, an unspecified Sea of Galilee, WHICH IS MALCHUT, and so it should be. HE ASKS: If so, Judah, OF WHOM IT WAS SAID THAT HE IS ALWAYS MALCHUT, what part has he got in it, IN MALCHUT THAT ZEBULUN HAS ALREADY TAKEN? HE REPLIES: It is just that Judah took the whole Malchut and united in it all its own levels, both smallness and greatness, in the secret of Dalet-Hei of Judah. Dalet indicates the smallness before receiving over it the male, and the Hei indicates the greatness. This is not the case with Zebulun. He simply took the aspect of Malchut when She was called 'the Sea of Galilee', in the secret of the battles in it.
