After the emergence of the lights of the Eyes of Adam Kadmon – these being BaN – they were bound under the rule of Malchut of Adam Kadmon. And when the radiation of the Forehead – MaH – emerged, it was bound under the rule of Yesod of Adam Kadmon. Yesod and Malchut of Adam Kadmon then coupled together, and thus the stern judgments were sweetened and the government operated in a mode of repair and love.
This answers an apparent difficulty regarding the Primordial Kings and their repair. For in one place the Primordial Kings (=BaN) are said to have come from the Eyes and MaH from the Forehead (Etz Chayim, Shaar Derushey Nekudot ch.1). Elsewhere, however, the Primordial Kings are said to be bound up with the mystery of Malchut of Adam Kadmon while MaH is the drop of male waters of Adam Kadmon’s Yesod (Etz Chayim, Seder Atzilut ch. 2; see Opening 96 below).
