Kabbalah Ester 2:17: Sha'arei Orah

Now, there are three ways that the Sefirah of “I-Anee-אנ״י receives from the Sefirah of “Nothing-Ayin-אין.” The first way is hinted in the verse,³²³Esther 2:17 “He set the Crown of Kingship-Keter Malchut-כתר מלכות upon her head.”³²⁴That is, in a direct manner. The second way is hinted in the verse,³²⁵Habakkuk 3:19 “HaShem Lord-HaShem Adona”y-יהו״ה אדנ״י [pronounced Elohi”m Adona”y-אלהי"ם אדנ"י] is my strength.”³²⁶That is, through the Sefirah of Understanding-Binah, which is written as HaShem-יהו״ה and pronounced Elohi”m-אלהי״ם, as explained before at length. The third way is hinted in the verse,³²⁷Psalms 135:21 “Blessed is HaShem-יהו"ה from Zion-Tziyon-ציון, who dwells in Jerusalem-ירושלים.”³²⁸That is, through the Sefirah of Splendor-Tiferet which is HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, who is blessed – meaning, drawn down – through Tziyon-ציון, which is the Sefirah of Foundation-Yesod, to Kingship-Malchut, which is Yerushalayim-ירושלים, as explained before at length. About a person who knows how to direct his intentions in these three ways, and knows how to direct the conduits to the Sefirot, the verse states,³²⁹Psalms 91:14 “I will set him on high, for he knows My Name.”
