SYNOPSIS:

Rabbi Shimon says that both the upper and lower beings all look to receive bounty from the Mazal that is the beard of Atika Kadisha, as all life derives from that Mazal; even heaven and earth and bountiful rains come from it. We learn about the thirteen streams of oil, or the thirteen attributes of mercy, that are derived from that beard and that come out to Zeir Anpin.

בְּדִיקְנָא דְּעַתִּיקָא קַדִּישָׁא, תַּלְיָא כָּל יְקִּירוּ דְּכֺלָּא. מַזָּלָא דְּכֺלָּא אִקְרֵי. מֵהַאי דִּיקְנָא, מַזָּלָא, יַקִּירוּתָא דְּכָל יַקִּירִין, מַזָּלֵי עִלָּאֵי וְתַתָּאֵי. כֻּלְּהוּ מַשְׁגִּיחִין לְהַהוּא מַזָּלָא. בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא תַּלְיָיא חַיֵּי דְּכֺלָּא, מְזוֹנֵי דְּכֺלָּא. בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא תַּלְיָין שְׁמַיָא וְאַרְעָא. גִּשְׁמִין דְּרַעֲוָא. בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא, אַשְׁגָּחוּתָא דְּכֺלָּא. בְּהַאי מַזָּלָא תַּלְיָין כָּל חַיָּילִין עִלָּאִין וְתַתָּאִין.

Translation

Overall preciousness derives from the beard of Atika Kadisha, WHICH IS ARICH ANPIN. It is called general Mazal (Eng. 'luck'). From this beard, WHICH IS CALLED Mazal, which is most precious, the upper and lower beings became successful. They all look TO RECEIVE BOUNTY from that Mazal. All life derives from that Mazal, everyone's food. Heaven and earth, WHICH ARE ZEIR ANPIN AND MALCHUT, come from that Mazal, and bountiful rains. Everyone looks to that Mazal. The upper and lower hosts come out of that Mazal.

chanoch's Commentary

The root of Mazel is translated as drip. Mazel is actually the flow of Shefa. That is what this pasuk describes and without the Hebrew Aramaic understanding it is truly confusing.

תְּלַת עֲשַׂר נְבִיעִין, דְּמִשְׁחָא דִּרְבוּתָא טָבָא, תַּלְיָין בְּדִיקְנָא דְּמַזָּלָא יַקִּירָא דָּא. וְכֻלְּהוּ נָפְקִין לִזְעֵיר אַנְפִּין. לָא תֵּימָא כֻּלְּהוּ, אֶלָּא תִּשְׁעָה מִנַּיְיהוּ, מִשְׁתַּכְּחָן בז"א, לְאַכְפְּיָיא דִּינִין.

Translation

There are thirteen streams of valuable goodly oil, NAMELY THE THIRTEEN ATTRIBUTES OF MERCY, derived from that beard, which is that precious Mazal. They all come out to Zeir Anpin. Do not say they all do, as nine of them are present in Zeir Anpin in order to subdue Judgments.

chanoch's Commentary

In the levels of Zeir Anpin called Torah there are two times that the 13 attributes of Mercy are revealed. In the Sefer Shemot there are 13 attributes and in the book of Badmidbar there are 9 attributes. The total is 22 which connects to the letters of the Hebrew Alef Beit. i have heard from my teachers that the 9 are in the parts of the body that grow hair, while the 13 are the 13 aspects of the hair on the face.

Translation

This Mazal goes down in equal measures to the middle. All the holiness of the Holy of Holies derives from this Mazal. Through this Mazal, the tangled supernal knot became untied from the head above all heads, which is unknown, not conceived or known to upper and lower beings. For that reason, everything derives from this Mazal.

chanoch's Commentary

this is the description of the first effect where the lower influences the upper. This is the source of mankind, in my opinion.

Translation

In this beard, the three heads I mentioned expand and they all connect to this Mazal and rest in it. For that reason all that is most precious derives from this Mazal. All the letters OF THE NAME YUD HEI VAV HEI that come out of Atika do so ONLY from the beard and connect to this Mazal and depend on it to support the other letters IN ZEIR ANPIN. And had not these letters gone up to Atik, NAMELY TO ITS BEARD, the others IN ZEIR ANPIN would not have survived. Hence Moses said, when it was needed, "Hashem, Hashem" (Shemot 34:6) twice, THE FIRST COMING FROM ARICH ANPIN AND THE SECOND FROM ZEIR ANPIN with a punctuation mark between them. Everything depends on Mazal AND NOT ON ARICH ANPIN ITSELF. The upper and lower beings shy away from this Mazal and are subdued before it.

chanoch's Commentary

The Mazel is the lower level of the extension of the Creator which we call Light.
