Dewarim 32:39 Kabbala: Shaarei Orah, Zohar & Da'at Tevunoth

And sometimes the name Adona"y is called by the nickname Even [Stone], because it is the basis [yesod] for all the buildings of the world and all that is found in the world support themselves with it and need it. And it is called Head Stone (Zechariah 4:7) because from it came out all the multitudes from High and Low during Creation. And it is called Sapphire Stone (see Ezekiel 1:26; Ezekiel 10:1, note linguistic connection with Sefirot) because it receives all the nuances from all the other levels above it, and acts on the creatures both a thing and its opposite, sometimes for good and sometimes for bad, to make live and to make die, to make sick and to heal, to make poor and to make rich, and so on. And the hint of this: "See, now, that I, I am the One, and there is no power alongside Me, I make die and I make live, I separated and I heal (Deuteronomy 32:39). Moreover, this aspect absorbs the strength of the Sefirot and draws to itself all types of emanation and blessing, and after it has drawn from the blessings above it returns and gives sustenance and food to all found below it, to each as it is fitting. And regarding it, it is written: "The stone that the builders rejected has become the head cornerstone. " (Psalms 118:22) - that, behold! Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya'akov took their places above it, in the upper sefirot above it, until David came and held strongly to it, and took it as his aspect, and he is the one that said "became the head cornerstone [pinah]", since all faces of all the created, both upper and lower, turn to it [ponim], whether in the levels above or below it. Above it, the turn to it to continue their strength, flow, goodness and blessings; below it they turn to it to ask from it their sustenance, food and maintenance. And this is the secret of "to the head cornerstone", and it is the secret of "or who set its cornerstone" (Job 38:6). And this is what sustains Israel, and your sign [that this is true is] "from there the Shepherd Stone of Yisrael" (Genesis 49:24). And this stone desires, wants and tends towards another stone above it, and from it [that other stone] will come to it [the Stone] all types of emanations and those two precious stones are for Israel, and your sign [that this is true is] : "and you shall take two stones of lazuli and engrave on them the names of the Children of Israel (Exodus 28:9). and this is the secret of "Adona"y YHV"H what will you give to me?" (Genesis 15:2). The Shechinah attracts from Upper to Lower and is attracted from Lower to Upper. And corresponding to this Stone there is another Stone called the Great Stone, and when it is sitting on the Well, Israel are enslaved under it, until comes the one who has Mishpat [Judgment] and your sign [that this is true is] "And Ya'akov approached and rolled the stone on the mouth of the well" (Genesis 29:10), and this is the secret of the potion "and Ya'akov traveled towards Sukkot" (Genesis 33:17) and of the portion "behold the day of Y"Y arrives" (Zecharia 14:1).

Rabbi Shimon opened another discussion saying, "See now that I, even I am He, and there is no Elohim with Me" (Devarim 32:39). He said: Friends, listen to ancient words that I wish to reveal after permission from above has been granted for them to be said. Who is he who said, "See now that I, even I, am He?" The cause above all causes, the one that is called the 'Cause of Causes,' is a Cause among all the rest of the causes. So every single one of these causes shall not do anything unless it receives permission from the cause above it, as I have stated above in, "Let Us make man."

He said to them, Friends, we should complete this verse because it contains many secrets. "I kill, and make alive" (Devarim 32:39) - I kill and I make alive by the Sefirot. From the right side, life, and from the left side death. But if both do not agree by mediation of the central pillar - unless all three settle together - Judgment cannot be carried out. At times,
