This proposition consists of two parts. Part 1: The way MaH is joined with BaN... The way they are combined is not without purpose. Part 2:...except that these are concealed... The resulting qualities are nevertheless concealed.
Part 1: The way MaH is joined with BaN in the different Partzufim as a result of the process of selection and sorting that took place... This refers to the interconnection we discussed earlier....is certainly not without purpose. In other words, the way they are joined together in each case is not without purpose in the Partzufim themselves. For the way in which MaH and BaN are combined is not merely the root of the governmental order above, for it cannot fail to leave some mark on the Partzufim themselves. If the way MaH and BaN are joined were merely one overall hidden root of the governmental order, this would have had to be a separate level by itself out of which another level – Atzilut – would have then emerged. (In that case, the Unknown Head would have been no more than an intermediary level out of which Atzilut as a whole developed and would not have needed to have expression in each individual Partzuf through the particular combination of MaH and BaN making up that Partzuf.) Since the Partzufim themselves are in each case built of unique combinations of different parts of MaH and BaN, the combination of the two is not merely a general preparation for the world of Atzilut but must have an influence on the Partzufim themselves.
