וַתִּצְחַ֥ק שָׂרָ֖ה בְּקִרְבָּ֣הּ לֵאמֹ֑ר אַחֲרֵ֤י בְלֹתִי֙ הָֽיְתָה־לִּ֣י עֶדְנָ֔ה וַֽאדֹנִ֖י זָקֵֽן׃
At tumawa si Sara sa kaniyang kalooban, na sinasabi, “Pagkatapos kong lumipas at manghina, magkakaroon pa ba ako ng kariktan ng laman, gayong ang aking panginoon ay matanda na?”
Sha'arei Orah
This Sefirah is called Eden-עדן, meaning that it is the inception of the spreading forth of Thought-Machshavah-מחשבה from the source from which all the Sefirot were revealed from the Supernal Crown-Keter Elyon. This then, is the wellspring-Ma’ayan-מעיין and source from where all novel beings in existence are brought into existence by the revelation of the Sefirot from the Supernal Crown-Keter Elyon. The word “Eden-עדן” indicates a source from which something is drawn. This is the secret of the verse,236Genesis 2:10 “A river-Nahar-נהר went out of Eden-עדן,” indicating that the river-Nahar-נהר comes out of the source and wellspring-Ma’ayan-מעיין.237Also see Shaar HaYichud of Rabbi Dovber of Lubavitch, translated as The Gate of Unity, Ch. 1. This then, is the meaning of “Eden-עדן,” as indicated by the matter of Sarah. When the source ceased from her and then returned, she said,238Genesis 18:12 “After I have withered, shall I again be rejuvenated-Ednah-עדנה,” meaning, “Shall the source be renewed for me?”
