Kabbalah zu Schemuel I 2:3
אַל־תַּרְבּ֤וּ תְדַבְּרוּ֙ גְּבֹהָ֣ה גְבֹהָ֔ה יֵצֵ֥א עָתָ֖ק מִפִּיכֶ֑ם כִּ֣י אֵ֤ל דֵּעוֹת֙ יְהוָ֔ה ולא [וְל֥וֹ] נִתְכְּנ֖וּ עֲלִלֽוֹת׃
Multiplizieren Sie nicht mehr als stolzes Reden; Lass keine Arroganz aus deinem Mund kommen; Denn der Herr ist ein Gott der Erkenntnis, und durch ihn werden die Handlungen abgewogen.
Idra Zuta
The concealed Da’at, the Da’at that illuminates in the head, the extending Da’at
It is written, “for Hashem is an El of knowledge” (I Shmuel 2:3). The word Knowledge surely is in the plural, because Zeir Anpin has three kinds of knowledge (Da’at). 1. It is the brain of Da’at, because in Da’at are all the palaces filled as written, “by knowledge are the chambers filled.” 2. Another Da’at corresponds to it, which is not manifest but is gradually included in it in secret. 3. Da’at that shines on the brains and expands throughout the brain but not into the body.

Idra Zuta
These four lights join the two brain lobes, which are Chochmah and Binah and the third brain that comprise the two lobes, attached to both sides, that is, to the right, which is Chochmah and the left, which is Binah. It spreads throughout the body and becomes two colors that are blended into one. They are the right that contains Chassadim and the left that comprises Chochmah. That lights up his face, the colors of which attest to Aba and Ima, that is, they shine with the color of Aba, which is Chassadim, and the color of Ima, which is Chochmah. It is called Da’at, of which it says, “for Hashem is an El of knowledge (de’ot)” (I Shmuel 2:3), de’ot being the plural of Da’at. The reason is that it has the two colors of Chassadim and Chochmah; and therefore, “and by him (lo) actions are weighed” (Ibid.) to illuminate with both Chochmah and Chassadim. But they were not (lo) weighed for the hidden Atika Kadisha. The reason they were weighed for the former, Zeir Anpin, is that he inherits the two portions of Chochmah and Chassadim from Aba and Ima. It is therefore written, “With the merciful (chasid) you will show yourself merciful” (II Shmuel 22:26), by shining Chassadim on him, “and with the upright man (gibor) you will show yourself upright” (Ibid.), by shining Gvurot on him, namely, the illumination of Chochmah in the left, which is wholeness. Upright means whole, as shall be explained in section 100.
