Likewise, what we said previously is now well understood, that at the phase of immaturity, Ze’er Anpin and Malkhut are considered “Va”k (vav ketzavot, or six extremities) and a point,” that is, the vessels of Ḥokhma, Bina, Da’at, Ḥesed, Gevura, and Tiferet, which are the six extremities, and the point of the chest, which is Malkhut. Ze’er Anpin is missing the first three lights on account of the lack of the vessels of Netzaḥ, Hod, and Yesod,131As the previous few sections explained, these vessels below their levels in the phase of immaturity, during which Malkhut ascended to the chest, in the second constriction. and Malkhut is missing the first nine sefirot of the lights due to the lack of the nine lower sefirot of the vessels.132See the end of section 54 above, and the footnote there, for the broader explanation of this Malkhut during the immaturity phase.
