One should not ask: If so, shouldn’t a level of Keter have emerged upon the partition, since the fourth level is attached to the partition?265Since the fourth level is attached to the partition, shouldn't the opacity of the fourth level within it give rise to a partzuf of the level of Keter?
86. The answer is that the fourth level produces a level of Keter only when it is situated in the place of Malkhut, as then the returning light that ascends from the fusion through collision upon the partition, enclothes the five vessels Keter, Ḥokhma, Bina, Tiferet and Malkhut with the five lights, nefesh, ruaḥ, neshama, ḥaya, and yeḥida. However, if the fourth level stands in the place of Ze’er Anpin, where there are only four vessels, Keter, Ḥokhma, Bina and Tiferet, the returning light draws out only four lights, nefesh, ruaḥ, neshama and ḥaya, in the four vessels, Keter, Ḥokhma, Bina and Tiferet.266In other words, it is not only the opacity in the partition that determines the height of the emergent partzuf, but also the positioning of the partition.
