The lit-up face of Zeir Anpin The two fleshy parts of the face of Zeir Anpin are like two offerings of spices that emit a goodly scent, which represents the upward illumination of Chochmah that is called scent. This is the meaning behind, “a man’s wisdom makes his face to shine” (Kohelet 8:1). They bear witness to what I have said about Aba and Ima (as said in section 98), because the entire testimony regarding the identification of a face depends on it, on the face; but the testimony depends on the whole shape of the face, that is, on the forehead and the nose; as said, “identification can only be established upon seeing the face with the nose on” (Tractate Yevamot 16).
But the two offerings of spices, which are white and red, bear witness to Aba and Ima; that is, the brains of Chochmah and Binah in Aba and Ima shine onto the face of Zeir Anpin. They are called testimony (edut) after Eden that is Chochmah. They bear witness to the inheritance he receives from Aba and Ima and holds onto them (see Mishpatim, section 526). The two brain lobes of Chochmah and Binah are called the inheritance of Aba and Ima (as in section 67, study there).
We have explained in our Mishnah the distances between white and red. Still, they are included in Zeir Anpin as one on the white side, that is, under the control of white that is Chesed.
