And since the three – Da’at, Tiferet and Yesod – are the most dignified part of the beard, because they adorn and beautify the face, the holy name is written with reference to them, as written, “Out of distress I called upon Yah; Yah answered me with liberation. Hashem takes my part; I will not fear.” We have explained in the Greater Gathering (section 266) that “Out of distress (metzar) I called upon Yah,” which is the first feature, begins where the beard starts to spread, which is a narrow (tzar) area, meaning that the hair occupies a narrow place, not a wide one, in front of the ears. This explanation is good; distress derives from narrow. Yet here he speaks of the hair over the lips.
