The point of the chest is the Malkhut that terminates the level116Now the terminating Malkhut has ascended to the point of the chest (the place of Tiferet/Bina due to the second constriction. at the place of Bina and brings down Bina, Tiferet, and Malkhut, which are called TNHY (Tiferet, Netzaḥ, Hod, and Yesod), to the level below it (as stated in section 16 above).
This is the mystical meaning of why Ze’er Anpin and Nukba during the phase of immaturity are always called “Va”k and a point,” since the six vessels – Ḥokhma, Bina, Da’at, Ḥesed, Gevura, and Tiferet – that are within Ze'er Anpin are called “Va”k,” or Vav Ketzavot (six extremities), and the point of the chest, which is the Malkhut that terminates the level of Ze’er Anpin, is called a point (and from the perspective of the lights, in which the small ones grow first, they are called Ḥesed, Gevura, Tiferet, Netzaḥ, Hod, and Yesod, and the terminating Malkhut is called the “point under the Yesod“).
