Kabbalah 1 Raja-raja 7:21: Sha'arei Orah

וַיָּ֙קֶם֙ אֶת־הָֽעַמֻּדִ֔ים לְאֻלָ֖ם הַֽהֵיכָ֑ל וַיָּ֜קֶם אֶת־הָעַמּ֣וּד הַיְמָנִ֗י וַיִּקְרָ֤א אֶת־שְׁמוֹ֙ יָכִ֔ין וַיָּ֙קֶם֙ אֶת־הָעַמּ֣וּד הַשְּׂמָאלִ֔י וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ בֹּֽעַז׃

Ia mendirikan tiang-tiang itu di serambi depan Ruang Kudus. Ia mendirikan tiang yang sebelah kanan dan menamainya Yakhin, lalu ia mendirikan tiang yang sebelah kiri dan menamainya Boas.

Sha'arei Orah

Know now, that corresponding to this Divine quality, King Solomon built the second pillar in the Holy Temple, and called its name Bo’az-בועז. That is, there were two pillars in the Holy Temple, called Yachin-יכין and Bo’az-בועז.86Kings I 7:21 – “He erected the right pillar and called its name Yachin-יכין-established, and he erected the left pillar and called its name Bo’az-בועז-strength is in it.” (Yachin-יכין corresponds to the positive commandments and Bo’az-בועז corresponds to the negative commandments.) This matter is hinted at in the verse,87Song of Songs 5:15 “His legs-Shokav-שוקיו are like marble pillars (Amudei Sheish-עמודי שש), founded (Meyusadim-מיוסדים) in sockets-Adnei-אדני of fine gold.” The word, “His legs-Shokav-שוקיו,” refers to these two qualities of victory-Netzach and majesty-Hod, which are the matter of HaShem God of Hosts-HaShem Elohi”m Tzva’ot-יהו״ה אלהי״ם צבאו״ת. They are the pillars that uphold the Sefirot, corresponding to which Solomon made the two pillars, Yachin-יכין and Bo’az-בועז.

Sha'arei Orah

Know, that corresponding to this quality of victory-Netzach-נצח, called HaShem of Hosts-HaShem Tzva’ot-יהו״ה צבאו״ת, King Solomon built the right pillar in the Holy Temple called by the name Yachin-יכין.231Kings I 7:21 – “He erected the right pillar and called its name “Yachin-יכין-established,” and he erected the left pillar and called its name “Bo’az-בועז-strength is in it.” Whoever knows the secret of these two pillars, called Yachin-יכין and Bo’az-בועז, knows how the souls, called Neshamot, Ruchot, and Nefashot, burst forth through the qualities of the Living God-E”l Chai-א״ל חי, and the Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י, by the influence of these two pillars.
