BeHibaraam
[When
They
Were
Created]
–
BeAvraham
[In
Abraham]
45)
Barah
[created]
is
a
hidden
word
that
indicates
that
the
key
closes
and
does
not
open.
And
while
the
key
closes
with
the
word
Barah,
the
world
was
not,
it
did
not
exist,
and
Tohu
[chaos]
was
covering
everything.
While
this
Tohu
was
dominating,
the
world
was
not,
and
did
not
exist.
46)
When
did
that
key
open
the
gates
and
was
prepared
to
be
used
and
to
produce
offspring?
When
Abraham,
Hesed,
arrived,
as
it
is
written,
“These
are
the
generations
of
the
heaven
and
the
earth
when
they
were
created.”
Do
not
pronounce
it
“BeHibaraam”
[When
they
were
created],
but
“BeAvraham”
[In
Abraham].
Then
all
that
was
hidden
in
the
word
Barah,
the
letters,
the
vessels,
were
used
again
and
they
opened
to
listen.
Then
the
pillar
that
produces
offspring
came
out,
the
holy
foundation
organ
on
which
the
world
stands,
since
Barah
[created]
has
the
letters
of
EVAR
[Aleph-Bet-Reish,
forming
the
word
“organ”].
And
when
did
that
key
open
the
gates
and
was
made
ready
for
use
and
for
bearing
offspring?
There
are
three
things
in
this
question:
1)
Opening
the
gates
means
the
descent
of
the
bottom
Hey
from
NE
to
the
Peh,
at
which
time
the
forty-nine
gates
open
in
Mochin
of
Hochma.
2)
Being
made
ready
for
use
in
clothing
of
Hochma
in
light
of
Hassadim,
where
before
the
clothing
of
light
of
Hochma
in
light
of
Hassadim,
the
AHP
could
not
receive
the
Mochin
of
Hochma,
even
though
they
already
conjoined
in
GE
into
a
single
degree.
This
is
so
because
without
clothing
of
Hassadim,
MI
would
not
shine
in
ELEH,
and
ELEH
would
still
be
concealed
in
the
name,
and
it
is
considered
that
the
Mochin
were
not
yet
made
available
for
use
in
the
lower
one.
3)
To
produce
offspring
means
begetting
souls,
since
once
ZA
receives
those
Mochin
in
full,
he
makes
a
coupling
with
the
Nukva
and
begets
the
souls
of
the
righteous.
And
he
replies,
“When
Abraham
came.”
Having
been
entirely
hidden
in
the
word
Barah,
the
letters
were
reused—Abraham,
Hesed
of
ZA
of
Gadlut,
at
which
time
Hesed
became
Hochma.
And
before
Abraham
came,
everything
was
hidden
in
the
word
Barah,
and
Tohu,
ZON,
governed
the
world.
Also,
ZON
had
neither
Hassadim
nor
Hochma,
and
when
Abraham
came,
meaning
the
light
of
Hesed
that
is
imparted
in
ZA,
the
gates
were
opened
in
abundance
of
Hochma,
since
the
bottom
Hey
descended
from
the
Einayim
to
the
Peh,
YESHSUT
bonded
with
AVI
into
a
single
degree,
and
GAR
of
lights
were
drawn
to
YESHSUT,
meaning
light
of
Hochma.
And
since
ZA
already
had
light
of
Hassadim
from
Abraham,
light
of
Hochma
clothed
in
light
of
Hassadim,
the
letters
ELEH
bonded
with
MI,
the
name
Elokim
was
complemented,
and
the
Mochin
clothed
in
ZA.
This
is
why
it
was
said
that
when
Abraham
came,
the
letters
were
reused,
meaning
that
Mochin
of
Hochma
were
drawn
into
the
Hassadim
and
clothed
in
ZA,
and
the
pillar
that
produces
offspring
came
out,
since
then
the
bottom
Hey
descended
from
NE
to
Peh,
and
it,
too,
obtained
Bina.
Also,
ZA
and
Nukva,
of
whom
he
was
deficient,
are
called
“new
NHY”
in
him,
with
Yesod
of
Gadlut,
which
is
called
“a
holy
foundation
organ
on
which
the
world
stands,”
since
through
this
organ
he
imparts
upon
the
Nukva,
who
is
called
“the
bottom
world,”
begetting
the
souls
of
the
righteous.
47)
When
this
EVAR
[organ]
is
inscribed
in
the
word
Barah,
the
upper,
hidden
one
inscribes
another
for
His
name
and
honor.
This
is
the
MI.
And
He
created
ELEH.
Also,
the
holy,
blessed
name
MA
was
inscribed
and
took
out
EVAR
from
the
word
Barah.
It
is
inscribed
in
ELEH
from
this
side
and
in
EVAR
from
that
side.
The
hidden
one,
ELEH,
exists,
and
EVAR
exists.
When
one
is
completed,
the
other
is
completed.
He
engraved
the
letter
Hey
for
this
EVAR,
and
engraved
the
letter
Yod
for
ELEH.
Now
The
Zohar
details
the
Mochin
of
ZA,
which
it
previously
introduced
in
general.
It
says
that
when
the
EVAR
is
inscribed
in
the
word
Barah,
the
upper,
hidden
one
inscribes
another
for
His
name
and
honor,
meaning
MI.
This
is
so
because
the
EVAR
is
Yesod
and
Atara
[crown],
and
Barah
indicates
the
closing
of
the
GAR
by
the
ascent
of
the
bottom
Hey
to
NE.
The
Atara
of
the
EVAR
is
inscribed
in
the
bottom
Hey
in
NE,
just
as
the
lock,
the
bottom
Hey,
is
inscribed
in
the
inscription
of
the
key,
Ateret
Yesod.
It
is
considered
that
that
hidden,
upper
one,
upper
AVI,
who
are
inscribed
in
the
bottom
Hey,
have
now
made
another
inscription
in
their
lock,
the
inscription
of
the
key,
who
is
the
Atara
of
the
EVAR.
Then,
MI
is
regarded
as
poised
for
a
question,
worthy
of
receiving
MAN,
lowering
the
bottom
Hey
from
the
Eynaim,
and
elevating
the
letters
ELEH
to
them,
the
AHP,
with
which
the
GAR
of
lights
are
extended.
But
before
the
bottom
Hey
was
inscribed
in
the
inscription
of
the
EVAR,
there
was
no
extension
of
GAR
because
the
bottom
Hey
herself
is
the
fiftieth
gate,
which
does
not
open
with
GAR.
Hence,
before
they
are
inscribed
in
the
key
of
the
EVAR,
they
are
not
called
MI
because
they
are
not
poised
for
a
question.
And
when
this
EVAR
was
inscribed
in
the
word
Barah,
when
the
bottom
Hey
in
the
word
Barah
received
the
inscription
of
EVAR,
who
is
the
key,
the
upper,
hidden
one
inscribed
another
inscription
for
His
name
and
honor,
and
this
is
the
MI.
Then,
AVI
inscribe
the
key
in
the
bottom
Hey
in
their
NE,
to
be
worthy
of
being
called
MI,
meaning
poised
for
a
question,
and
to
extend
Mochin
of
GAR,
since
the
Mochin
are
extended
only
in
the
inscription
of
the
key.
He
Barah
ELEH
[He
created
these],
meaning
that
after
the
lock
in
the
word
Barah
was
inscribed
with
the
record
of
the
key,
the
EVAR,
and
became
MI,
then
MI
created
ELEH.
This
means
that
the
bottom
Hey
descended
from
NE
to
the
Peh
and
raised
AHP,
the
letters
ELEH,
to
the
Rosh,
and
GAR
were
extended.
He
created
ELEH
means
concealment,
since
there
is
still
no
clothing
of
Hassadim
in
them,
and
the
letters
ELEH
that
rose
are
still
hidden
in
the
name
and
cannot
be
revealed
without
clothing
of
Hassadim.
The
holy,
blessed
name,
too,
MA,
was
inscribed
and
elicited
EVAR
out
of
the
word
Barah.
Malchut
that
descended
from
the
Einayim
to
the
Peh
is
called
MA
because
the
lower
world
is
called
MA.
This
is
the
screen
that
was
previously
in
NE.
Now
it
came
down
to
the
Peh,
the
coupling
was
made
on
her,
and
she
elicited
the
level
of
Hassadim,
a
light
of
blessing.
By
that,
it
brought
out
the
concealment
of
the
word
Barah
and
made
it
EVAR,
Yesod
that
gives
Hassadim.
The
holy,
blessed
name,
too,
MA,
was
inscribed
and
elicited
EVAR
from
the
word
Barah,
since
the
light
of
Hassadim
was
still
absent
in
the
letters
ELEH,
to
clothe
in
them,
hence
ELEH
were
still
hidden
in
the
name.
Thus,
through
the
light
of
the
blessing
of
MA,
the
blocking
of
Barah
was
opened
and
became
a
giving
EVAR.
“It
is
inscribed
in
ELEH
from
this
side
and
in
EVAR
from
that
side.”
Now
two
degrees
are
discerned
in
them,
one
opposite
the
other,
since
ELEH
are
AHP
with
the
Mochin
of
Hochma,
which
are
still
deficient
of
Hassadim
on
this
side,
and
EVAR,
Yesod
that
received
the
level
of
Hassadim
from
the
MA,
stands
opposite
him
on
that
side,
deficient
of
Hochma.
It
was
said
that
the
hidden,
holy
one,
ELEH,
exists,
and
EVAR
exists,
since
ELEH
that
obtained
the
Mochin
of
Hochma,
who
is
called
“holiness,”
is
concealed
in
the
Partzuf
on
this
side,
and
opposite
it
stands
EVAR
at
the
level
of
Hassadim
in
the
Partzuf.
When
one
is
completed,
the
other
is
completed,
since
both
went
out
through
the
descent
of
the
bottom
Hey
from
NE
to
the
Peh,
since
the
EVAR
went
out
by
the
MA
in
the
Peh.
Similarly,
ELEH,
who
are
AHP,
rose
by
the
coming
of
Malchut
below
them
to
the
Peh.
It
follows
that
when
one
is
completed,
the
other
is
completed
because
they
come
at
once.
“He
engraved
the
letter
Hey
for
this
EVAR,
and
engraved
the
letter
Yod
for
ELEH,”
since
Hey
indicates
the
screen
that
yields
only
the
level
of
Hassadim
without
Hochma,
as
she
is
Malchut,
who
is
unfit
to
receive
Hochma,
but
only
Hassadim,
while
Yod
indicates
a
screen
of
a
male,
suitable
for
reception
of
Hochma.
This
is
why
he
engraved
the
letter
Hey
for
this
EVAR,
with
the
screen
MA,
which
extends
only
Hassadim
without
Hochma,
and
engraved
the
letter
Yod
for
this
ELEH,
with
a
screen
of
a
male,
who
extends
Hochma
and
not
Hassadim.
48)
When
the
letters
awakened,
EVAR,
Hey,
and
the
letters
ELEH,
Yod,
to
complement
this
side
and
that
side,
He
elicited
the
letter
Mem.
One
took
the
Mem
to
this
side,
next
to
the
letters
Eloki
[ELEH-Yod],
and
one
took
the
Mem
to
that
side,
next
to
the
letters
Avraha
[EVAR-Hey].
Thus,
the
holy
name
was
completed,
the
combination
Elokim
was
made,
and
the
name
Avraham
[Abraham]
was
completed,
too.
This
is
why
it
was
said
that
when
one
was
completed,
the
other
was
also
completed.
And
there
are
those
who
say
that
the
Creator
took
the
letters
MI
and
placed
them
in
the
letters
ELEH,
forming
the
combination
Elokim.
And
the
Creator
took
the
letters
MA
and
placed
them
in
EVAR,
forming
the
combination
Avraham.
The
word
MI
implies
to
fifty
gates
of
Bina.
Also,
there
is
the
letter
Yod
in
the
letter
MI,
the
first
letter
of
the
holy
name.
And
the
word
MA
implies
to
the
holy
name
because
HaVaYaH
filled
with
the
letters
Aleph
is
MA
in
Gematria
(45).
Also,
in
the
word
MA,
there
is
the
second
letter
of
the
holy
name
HaVaYaH,
the
letter
Hey.
It
is
written,
“Happy
is
the
nation
whose
God
is
the
Lord
[HaVaYaH].”
And
it
is
written,
“And
hangs
the
earth
on
Bli
MA
[Hebrew:
“nothing,”
and
also
“without
MA”].”
This
implies
to
the
number
HaVaYaH
filled
with
the
letters
Aleph,
which
is
MA
in
Gematria,
and
then
the
two
worlds
existed—the
next
world
in
Yod,
and
this
world
in
Hey.
He
created
the
next
world
with
MI,
and
He
created
this
world
with
MA,
and
this
implies
the
above
and
below.
And
then
He
produced
offspring
and
the
name
came
out
whole,
which
was
not
so
before.
It
is
written
about
it,
“These
are
the
generations
of
the
heaven
and
the
earth
BeHibaram
[when
they
were
created],”
which
are
the
letters
of
BeAvraham
[in
Abraham],
since
all
the
generations
were
hanging
incomplete
until
the
name
Abraham
was
created.
When
that
name,
Abraham,
was
completed,
the
holy
name
was
completed,
as
it
is
written,
“On
the
day
that
the
Lord
God
made
earth
and
heaven.”
“On
the
day
that
[the
Lord
God]
made”
is
the
day
when
they
were
completed
through
the
name
Abraham,
and
then
the
name
HaVaYaH
is
mentioned.
The
name
HaVaYaH
was
not
mentioned
in
the
Torah
thus
far.
Those
two
levels,
the
light
of
Hochma
in
ELEH,
and
the
light
of
Hassadim
in
MA,
awakened
to
complement
one
another,
to
clothe
in
one
another.
Then,
once
the
Hochma
clothed
in
Hassadim,
He
elicited
Mem,
the
Malchut
that
receives
from
those
two
levels
together.
One
took
the
Mem
next
to
the
letters
Eloki,
and
one
took
the
Mem
next
to
the
letters
Avraha,
and
the
holy
name
was
completed.
The
combination
Elokim
was
formed,
and
so
was
the
name
Abraham,
since
now
there
are
four
letters
Eloki.
And
also,
He
engraved
the
letter
Hey
for
that
Evar,
and
there
are
the
four
letters
Avraha
there.
Thus,
now
the
letters
have
been
complemented
one
atop
the
other,
clothing
the
two
levels,
Hochma
and
Hassadim
in
one
another,
and
eliciting
Mem,
Malchut
that
receives
from
all
of
them.
Then
one
took
that
Mem
to
this
side,
the
side
of
the
letters
of
Eloki,
and
one
took
the
Mem
to
that
side,
the
side
of
the
letters
of
Avraha.
When
the
letters
Eloki
receive
the
Mem,
the
holy
name
is
completed
and
the
combination
Elokim
is
formed,
and
the
letters
Avraha
receive
the
Mem,
and
the
name
Avraham
is
completed,
too.
And
when
that
name,
Avraham,
is
completed,
the
holy
name
is
completed,
for
they
are
two
levels,
Hochma
and
Hassadim,
which
need
each
other.
Hence,
the
holy
name
was
not
completed
before
the
name
Avraham
was
completed.
