The locks of hair in each of Chochmah, Binah and Da’at He now explains the matter in further details. Each lock of hair is therefore present according to its ways. There are locks in each brain of Chochmah, Binah and Da’at, because they all incorporate each other, and each has hairs, fine hairs, and locks of hair. But the weight masters come from the smooth locks from one of the brains, the middle one, which is Da’at. It is written of them, “All the paths of Hashem are mercy and truth.”
Lamenters and wailers come from the second brain, the left brain that is Binah, from its coarse locks of hair. It is written of them, “The way of the wicked is like darkness; they know not at what they stumble.” What does this mean? He explains, “they know not,” meaning that they do not know nor wish to know, “at what (bemah) they stumble.” Do not pronounce it bemah but be’ima (at Ima). They are attached to the second brain on the side of Ima. What is the side if Ima – harsh Gvurah within the left, whence said lamenters and wailers are attached.
