PORTION OF TIKUNEI ZOHAR

in a famous portion of the Tikunei Zohar (second introduction) in which the
nature of the Sefirot are explained by the prophet Elijah in the following
manner:

"Elijah began to expound and said: 'Master of the Universe, You are one, but
not as a numerical value, You are elevated above all elevated beings, hidden
beyond all hidden things, thought cannot grasp you at all.

It is You who have brought out the ten structures — we call them the Ten Sefirot — to
control and guide hidden worlds, which have not been revealed, and worlds
which have been revealed.

In them, You hide Yourself from humans, and You bind them together and unite them.

Since You are inside them anyone who separates one of these ten from the others, it is as if he made a separation in You.

These Ten Sefirot are set out in order, one long, one short, and one
in between.

It is You who direct them and there is nothing, either above or
below or from any side, which directs You.

You have assigned garments for them from which souls blossom forth for human beings.

You have assigned a number of bodies to them; they are called bodies because of the garments
which cover them.

In this form they are called
Chesed (Compassion) - the right arm;
Gevurah (Might) - the left arm;
Tiferet (Beauty) - the body;
Netzach (Victory) and Hod (Glory) - the two thighs; Yesod
(Foundation) - the end of the body, the sign of the holy covenant;
Malchut (Kingdom) - the mouth, we call her the Oral Torah;
Chochmah (Wisdom) - the brain, that is the inner thoughts;
Binah (Understanding) - the heart, and through her the heart understands (concerning these two it is written "The hidden things are with the Lord our God" [Deuteronomy 29:28])
Keter Elyon (The Upper Crown) -the crown of kingship'."
