La Genèse 1:3 Cabale : Ohr Ne'erav, Zohar Chadash, Zohar & Pardes Rimmonim

This defect, therefore, is the mystery of yod heh,⁴²The first two letters of the Tetragrammaton. Cf. n. 18 above. which refers to wisdom and Kabbalah.⁴³Ḥokhmah and Binah. Cf. n. 33 above. This he removes, causing “poverty” in place of the “riches” emanating from Tiferet, which is the mystery of the river mentioned previously. “Length of exile” is the mystery of the “waters” left the “sea” [signifying that] the Shekhinah left for exile.⁴⁴See n. 23 above. This was explained by Rabbi Simeon bar Yoḥai, peace upon him, in another place. [He stated] that the mystery of the earth was formless and void [refers to the period] after the destruction of the First and Second Temples. And God said, “Let there be light” (Gen. 1:3)—this [refers] to the mystery of the future redemption. I dealt with this matter in my book, Or Yakar.⁴⁵Moses Cordovero, Or Yakar, vol. 1 (Jerusalem, 1965), pt. I, sec. 1. The relevant passage is Zohar I, 25b.

"And God said, Let there be light." and, behold, Rabbi Yitzchak said, from here we learn that the Holy One, Blessed be He, uprooted these plantings and replanted them, as it is written 'Let there be' [implying a new creation from something that existed before].

Six [possibly referring to ו, which has the numerical value of 6] go out from the branch of the root of the body, a tong "speaking big things" [Daniel 7:8,20]. This tongue, hidden between י and ה, as it is written: "This one will say: 'I [am] for HaShem', and this one will call Jacob's name, and this one will [with] his hand write for HaShem, and he will name the name of Israel" [Isaiah 44:5]. "he will name" (יכנה) actually. "This one will say: 'I [am] for HaShem'': Sister, and all is said using יהו. All are included in the tongue, hidden for Mother. Since she is opened up for him who goes out from her. Father sits at the head, Mother in the middle, and is covering herself from there and from there. Woe to him who reveals their nakedness.
