60. The reason we do not consider there to be four partzufim in Ḥokhma144This entire section assumes the reader's familiarity with the quoted preceding sections. The main idea here is simply to explain why there is no set of male and female partzufim associated with Ḥokhma in Atzilut. is because Arikh Anpin is the level of Ḥokhma of Mah, but the Ḥokhma that is in it is blocked within its Keter in the mystical meaning of “this inside that” (as explained in Idra Zuta, section 37) and Ḥokhma does not illuminate at all in Atzilut.145This concept was explained in the preceding sections regarding the rectification of lines.

In short, the ascent of Malkhut to Bina essentially “blocked” the light of Ḥokhma from illuminating into Atzilut. The subsequent restructuring of the rectification of lines allowed an illumination of Ḥokhma to ultimately reach Ze'er Anpin and the levels below. Section 41 above deals directly with the issue of Ḥokhma in Atzilut, though the preceding and following sections there are also relevant. Rather, all the Ḥokhma that illuminates in Atzilut comes from the Bina that returned to the head of Arikh Anpin and became Ḥokhma (as stated in section 44 above).

This Bina was enclothed in Abba and Imma and Yisrael Sabba and Tevuna. The Abba and Imma are considered the Ḥokhma of the right, while Yisrael Sabba and Tevuna are considered the Ḥokhma of the left (as stated in section 41 above). Accordingly, we do not consider there to be four partzufim in Ḥokhma but rather in Bina, which is also considered Ḥokhma that illuminates in Ze’er Anpin and Malkhut in all the worlds.
