Kabbalah su Genesi 32:9

[Sec. 17] 39. [The beginner] must also know that the [sefirah] Neẓaḥ, during the six days of creation, derived sustenance from the side of Gevurah,⁴In the “normative” sefirotic order, Neẓaḥ is found on the “side” of Gedulah (Ḥesed), while Hod is on the side of Gevurah. and Hod from [the side of] Ḥesed, in the mystery of the mingling of the Qualities. Since because of [Adam’s] sin the [sefirotic] connections have been confused,⁵This is an expression of the idea that sin on the earthly plane causes “disruption” in the order of the sefirot on high. none of the men of valor were able to repair this defect until the righteous one, Jacob our father, [took] Judgment upon himself, saying, If Esau comes below and his [angelic] “minister” above⁶Cf. Rashi on Gen. 32:25. to arouse Judgment on the one camp (Gen. 32:9), [namely,] the female Hod. ([She is called] the captain of the hosts, [since] camp and hosts are the same. Thus the fact that Hod’s strength was weak like a woman[’s] is not difficult [to comprehend].) Now [we understand] and strikes it [in the sense that “Esau”] weakened the strength of the [sefirotic] stature in general. This is hinted at by [the additional letter] vav in the name [of Jacob in the verse] truth unto Jacob (Mic. 7:20). Thus he destroyed his mercy. And the remaining camp, which is Neẓaḥ, strengthens itself as a remnant to grasp on to the quality of Ḥesed. Thus it was that the minister of Esau touched the thigh of Jacob and immediately the order of nourishment was changed and Hod returned, influenced from the side of Gevurah⁷The “touching” apparently restored the sefirotic state of “confusion.” Cf. n. 4 above. in the mystery of My comeliness was turned in me into corruption (Dan. 10:8). Neẓaḥ was [thus] weakened until King David, peace upon him, came and repaired it with his melodies⁸The psalms. so that it might derive nourishment from the side of Ḥesed. This is the mystery of [the verse] in Your right hand is bliss forevermore (neẓaḥ) (Ps. 16:11).
