Schir haSchirim 8:9 Kabbala: Zohar & Reshit Chokhmah

אִם־חוֹמָ֣ה הִ֔יא נִבְנֶ֥ה עָלֶ֖יהָ טִ֣ירַת כָּ֑סֶף וְאִם־דֶּ֣לֶת הִ֔יא נָצ֥וּר עָלֶ֖יהָ ל֥וּחַ אָֽרֶז׃

Ist sie eine Mauer [keusch], bauen wir auf ihr einen silbernen Palast. Ist sie aber eine Tür, so schließen wir sie mit Zedergetäfel.

Zohar

and he contemplated in wisdom both what was above and what was below. But once he sinned his prosopa diminished, wisdom departed from him, and he could survey only the affairs of his body. He then begat offspring partaking both of the higher and of the lower nature, but the world was not settled by either of them until Adam begat a son called Seth,1Sheth = foundation. by whom the world was made complete.1Al. with whom the world was planted. v. Mid. r. Num. 14, 12; Cant. 8, 9.
