With the emergence of the left line, a conflict arises between the right and the left: The right wants to negate the left and rule alone, and likewise the left wants to negate the right and rule alone (as stated above in section 31). Consequently, neither of them can illuminate as long as the middle line, which unites them, has not been manifested.

35. Subsequently, the middle line emerged, and it emerged by means of the partition of the level beneath Yisrael Sabba and Tevuna, which ascended as feminine waters to Yisrael Sabba and Tevuna (as stated above in section 32). This is Ze’er Anpin, which ascended to Yisrael Sabba and Tevuna together with the three vessels of Bina, Tiferet, and Malkhut when they returned and ascended to their level (as stated above in section 21). The type of light that emerges from upon this partition unites the right and left lines in Yisrael Sabba and Tevuna into one, only that the right will illuminate from above to below, while the left will illuminate from below to above. Then the light of Ḥokhma is enclothed in the garment of the light of giving and can illuminate, and the light of giving is incorporated in the illumination of Ḥokhma and the first three are completed.
