Sha'arei Orah
This is the secret of the verse,147Genesis 13:3 “He proceeded on his journeys from the south to the House of God-Beit E”l-בית א״ל.”148See Shaarei Tzedek of Rabbi Yosef Gikatilla, Shaar 2; Also see Zohar I 84a. Now, because our forefather Avraham repaired the path and unified the Sefirah of Kingship-Malchut with the Sefirah of Understanding-Binah, it is he who began to say, “Lord HaShem-Adona”y HaShem-אדנ"י יהו"ה,” [pronounced Adona”y Elohi”m-אדנ"י אלהי"ם] This is called a “fundamental principle-Binyan Av-בנין אב,”149See the introduction to Sifra in the thirteen principles of exegesis of Rabbi Yishmael (recited at the beginning of the morning prayers). This has a double meaning, in that it also means, “The construct of a forefather-Binyan Av-בנין אב.” in that wherever in Torah you find the order written as “Lord HaShem-Adona”y HaShem-אדנ"י יהו"ה,” [pronounced Adona”y Elohi“m-אדנ"י אלהי"ם] it refers to the secret of the repair of the Indwelling Presence of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, from below, and its adornment and preparations to become unified with the Sefirah of Understanding-Binah. In contrast, wherever in Torah you find the order written as, “HaShem Lord-HaShem Adona”y-יהו״ה אדנ״י,” [pronounced Elohi”m Adona”y-אלהי"ם אדנ"י] it refers to the secret of the bestowal of beneficence and emanation from Above to below, in that the Sefirah of Understanding-Binah bestows to all the Sefirot, until the Sefirah of Kingship-Malchut becomes full of every manner of beneficence, emanation, and blessing, such as indicated by the verse,150Habakkuk 3:19 “HaShem Adona”y-יהו״ה אדנ״י [pronounced Elohi”m Adona”y-אלהי"ם אדנ"י] is my strength.”
