Consequently, the height of the light of giving that emerged from upon the partition of Malkhut is not at all effective for them in equating the two lines, right and left, with each other. The judgments in the left, which are the judgments of the Malkhut that ascended to Bina, impair the right and distance the light of the first three from it. Thus, the rectification of the lines of the first three is not at all effective in rectifying the two lines, right and left, that are in the six extremities, since the six extremities in all the sefirot are from the incorporation of Ze’er Anpin there, and as long as the level of the six extremities does not have the illumination of Ḥokhma it is in a state of lack and impairment.41The rectification described in section 25 only applies to the higher aspect of the level, known as the “first three.”
The “first three” is a general term loosely describing the higher aspect of a level by referencing the three upper sefirot of Keter, Ḥokhma and Bina. The point here is that the higher aspect of the level was broken apart by the second constriction and ascent of Malkhut but was then rectified through the fusion through collision and middle column described in section 25. This same process cannot work for the lower sefirot of the level, the six extremities.
As explained in the following paragraphs, the “first three” are composed of the light of giving, while the lower sefirot require the light of Ḥokhma. As a result, a different method is employed to allow the light of Ḥokhma to ultimately be received by Malkhut in the lower levels.
