Kabbalah Habakuk 3:9: Sha'arei Orah

In the Torah, the name that is unique to Binah-understanding is the Name HaShem-יהו״ה, in which its letters are the Name HaShem-יהו״ה, but its vowels are the vowels of God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם. This is because the quality of might-Gevurah, called Elohi”m-אלהי״ם, draws from the quality of understanding-Binah. Thus, wherever in Torah you see “HaShem Lord-HaShem Adona”y-יהו״ה אדנ״י,” [pronounced Elohi”m Adona’y-אלהי"ם אדנ"י] such as in the verse,⁹⁷Habakkuk 3:19 “HaShem Adona”y-יהו״ה אדנ״י is my strength,” or the verse,⁹⁸Genesis 15:2 “Lord HaShem-Adona”y HaShem-אדנ"י יהו"ה what will you give me,” [pronounced Adona”y Elohi”m-אדנ"י אלהי"ם] know that in these and similar verses, the Name HaShem-יהו״ה is the matter of understanding-Binah, which includes both mercy-Rachamim and judgment-Din, from which the powers of judgment-Din are drawn. This is why its name is HaShem-יהו״ה, in that the form of its letters, are that of mercy-Rachamim, but its vowels are the judgment-Din [of Elohi”m-אלהי"ם]. Therefore, know that in the Sefirot, the beginning of judgment-Din is in the matter of understanding-Binah, which itself is drawn from wisdom-Chochmah, whereas might-Gevurah, which is the power of judgment-Din, is drawn from understanding-Binah.
