Afterwards it is from there that Abba and Imma, Israel Sabba and Tevunah, are built. When Chochmah and Binah of Atzilut become Partzufim, they receive a radiation from these Kindnesses and Strengths – their place on the Tree of the Partzufim is facing the Kindnesses and Strengths of Atik, which are revealed when they emerge from the Yesod of Atik and spread in the chest of Arich Anpin. Against the chest are Abba and Imma, which clothe the arms of Arich Anpin down to the navel.
It is through the power of the Kindnesses and Strengths of Atik that Abba and Imma divide into four Partzufim – the first and second Israel Sabba and Tevunah, as will be discussed in its appropriate place (see Opening 128). (The ending of Yesod of Atik in the chest of Arich Anpin is included in the category of the developmental chain because it causes the division of Chochmah and Binah into four Partzufim, which involves the structure of the Partzufim.)
