ARVUT OF : Robin Anderson

Each Zivug consists of two Zivugim, for a Zivug on Ohr Hochma must clothe
itself into the Partzuf (garment) of Ohr Hassadim. Therefore, a preliminary Zivug
must be made on Ohr Hassadim, whose role is to become a garment for Ohr
Hochma. This is why each Zivug consists of two Zivugim:

1. Zivug on the degree of Hochma, called Zivug de Neshikin, because it
   stands at the Peh de Rosh of the Partzuf, at the level of Rosh and GAR.
2. Zivug on the degree of Hassadim, called Zivug de Yesodot, because it
   takes place at the level of the bodies of the Partzufim.
   Therefore, it is said that the Creator took Nukva in this word and kissed her,
   i.e., made a Zivug de Neshikin at the level of GAR, and then adorned her, i.e.,
   made a Zivug de Yesodot at the level of Hassadim. As a result, Ohr Hochma clothed
   in Ohr Hassadim, and Nukva received the complete Light.
   IN SEVENTY ADORNMENTS: the complete Light of Nukva is called
   “seventy adornments,” because Malchut is the seventh day, and when she receives
   from ZA, her Sefirot become tens, just as the Sefirot of ZA; this turns Malchut into
   7 x 10 = 70. Mochin (wisdom), Ohr Hochma is called Atara (adornment or crown).
   Hence, what she receives is called “seventy adornments.” After Malchut receives
   the Light of Hassadim, with the help of the MAN of the righteous, she becomes
   fit to receive the Upper Light of Hochma, the seventy adornments.
   As was said above, there are two kinds of renewal of Heaven and earth (ZON):
3. When everything returns to the state preceding Adam’s sin. In that
   instance, Malchut is called the “word of the Torah” (VAK), where the
   Torah is ZA.
4. When Heaven and earth are created with a new Light, which even Adam
   did not attain prior to his sin. And this attainable word is called GAR.
   It is written (Talmud, Berachot, 7:1) that the righteous sit with adornments
   on their heads, for Malchut ascended to adorn the head of the righteous (ZA)
   in his Yesod, called Chai Olamim (reviver of worlds), or, rather, in his Ateret
   Yesod—the place of circumcision. And this transpires thanks to the MAN raised
   by the righteous that have already attained the Upper Light of Adam’s Zihara
   Ilaa, just as Rabbi Shimon and his friends have already attained it.
