출애굽기 39:28 카발라: Pardes Rimmonim

And the explanation: King Solomon, with whom there is peace, he is Tif’eret, and Yesod is his peace. And the crown is the reality [of Tif’eret] that is called ‘heavens’, which surrounds his simple reality that is called ‘firmament’ [and] which emanated from Chochmah. And this corresponds to “at the crown with which his mother crowned him”, [his mother] who is the Elohim that was mentioned in our present discussion. And therefore he said earlier [in our text]: ‘which is the mother’, which is Binah, the mother of the children. And “crown” is an expression of surrounding and covering, as the subject: “And Saul and his men were encircling David”, which corresponds to surrounding. And the explanation: as this crowning is with three colors, which are white from the side of Chesed [here the Sefira Chesed/Gedolah] and red from the side of Gevurah, and green composed from both of them, which is the mixture that is mixed by means of the ‘man of the interspaces’ [an allusion to 1 Samuel 17:4] [which is] Tif’eret. And in order that we shall not err, saying that white and red are not in the reality of Tif’eret but only green [is in it], [therefore] he says: ‘and all of them are included in him and are turned around him’. Explanation: King Solomon, who is the spiritual aspect from the side of Chochmah – which is also called King Solomon, as I will clarify in the entries of the special names with help of HaShem – he is surrounded by the three colors, and they are actually turned around him. And he is white in the property of its aspect towards Chesed[/Gedolah], and red in the property of its aspect towards Gevurah, and green in the aspect of both of them in the equilibrium of the mixture. And all of them are surrounding him and are crowning him. And Rabbi Yehuda explained “the crown” with a different explanation that adds to [that of] Rabbi Isaac, and he says that it is not only this [explanation] but “the crown” is the totality of all six extremities [Chesed/Gedolah, Gevurah, Tif’eret, Netsach, Hod and Yesod], as in the property of this aspect is the special name of Tif’eret fitting, which is from the expression ‘ornaments’, as “the ornaments of the headgears” [Exodus 39:28 (the Hebrew text incorrectly refers to Ezekiel here)], and its explanation is: branches, intending to say that it branches out into six extremities, and the six extremities are its [= Tif’eret’s] branches. And this is what he says: “Israel, with you I will glorify myself” [Isaiah 49:3]. And the explanation is: Binah is speaking to Tif’eret who is called Israel that she is ornamenting herself with it and is branching out in branches.
