Having discussed the Line and the Residue in general terms, we must now examine the details and discuss how the Sefirot came into being.

The proposition consists of four parts: Part 1: The Sefirot are what came forth... This explains the external structure of the Sefirot. Part 2: Within each Sefirah… This explains the inner essence of the Sefirot. Part 3: The Line shines... This is a level of interiority that is even more concealed. Part 4:...and in this aspect it is completely equal... This explains the difference between the first and second levels of interiority.
