Part 1: The beauty and delight of Malchut... As explained earlier, Malchut is the “hind of love” (Proverbs 5:19) that arouses love in the lights and causes them to flash in excitement, for it is to Malchut that the terms beauty and delight apply. Beauty results from properly ordered repairs with no mixture of darkness but everything arranged to serve as a perfect order of government with all the repairs and adjustments necessary for the flow of good.

Delight results from beauty, and thus the verse continues: “...and a roe of grace” (ibid.). The Hebrew word for “roe” (יעלת, ya’elet) has the connotations of elevating and enhancing. In other words, the lights flash forth to greet her in the way that a father’s love is aroused for his son when the latter meets with his approval, or in the way that a husband’s love is aroused for his wife.
