i.e. whether it is Hashem which is mercies, or whether it is His Name which is like Elohim, like judgement — it is all for his good because of the love that Hashem Yithbarakh, loves you, as is written (Prov. 3): "For whom Hashem loves He corrects." And the scripture (Amos 3): "You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities."
The Gate of Unity
This [principle] also applies to the divisions of the “72 bridges”7See Pardes Rimonim, Shaar 21 (Shaar Pratey HaShemot), Chapter 5. Rabbi Nechunia Ben HaKanah (Sefer HaBahir) calls HaShem’s-יהו״ה name of 72 by the term “the 72 Bridges.” This refers to the name that arises from the three verses that begin with the words, “VaYisa, VaYavo, VaYeit” (Exodus 14:19-21). Each of these verses possess 72 letters, and they into 72 three letter combinations, made up of the letters of these three verses. This name is a name of Kindness, as indicated by the fact that the numerical value of 72 is Kindness-Chessed-חסד. However, it is expressed through the vehicle and vessels of Gevurah-Sternness, as indicated by the fact that the numerical value of 3 verses x 72 letters = 216, which is the numerical value of Judgment-Gevurah-גבורה-216. (Also see Ginat Egoz of Rabbi Yosef Gikatilla, translated as HaShem Is One, Vol. 3, The Gate explaining that the Explicit Name (Shem HaMeforash) is ע״ב-72 and יר״ו-216.) and likewise to the “afflictions of love,” [as stated,8Proverbs 3:12 “For HaShem-יהו״ה admonishes the one He loves,] and like a father, he desires His child.”
