The two differences between the partzufim of the first three sefirot and the partzufim of the six extremities have thus been thoroughly explained. One concerns the emergence, that only the partzufim of the first three emerge from the mouth of the upper partzuf that is adjacently above them. This is not the case for the partzufim of the six extremities, because they emerge from the partzuf above the adjacent upper partzuf.
The other concerns the enclothing, that only the partzufim of the first three can hold on to the Ḥesed, Gevura, and Tiferet of the upper partzuf, which are the first three sefirot of the body.168As described in the preceding sections, when a partzuf of Ḥokhma (a partzuf of the first three) emerges, it enclothes the preceding partzuf of Keter from the mouth and below. This means it enclothes the “first three” of the body, the sefirot of Ḥesed, Gevura, and Tiferet.
In contrast, the partzufim of six extremities can only enclothe their preceding partzufim from the chest and downward, meaning, the six extremities of the body, which are Netzaḥ, Hod, and Yesod. This is not the case for the partzufim of the six extremities, since they hold on only from the chest and below, that is, only the six extremities of the body.
