Then that same aforementioned fusion through collision is repeated on the partition that was placed on the vessel of Malkhut that now has only up to the opacity of the second level, so that then only the ten sefirot of the structural height of Bina, consisting of both head and body, emerge from it. This structure is called the “Sag (or samekh-gimmel) partzuf of Adam Kadmon,” which lacks the two vessels of Ze’er Anpin, or Tiferet, and Malkhut and the two lights of ḥaya and yeḥida.

After that, the fusion through collision takes place on the partition that has only up to the opacity of the first level, and then the ten sefirot of the structural height of Tiferet, both head and body, emerge. This partzuf lacks the three vessels of Bina, Ze’er Anpin, and Malkhut and the three lights of neshama, ḥaya, and yeḥida. It contains only the lights of ruaḥ and nefesh, which are enclothed in the vessels of Keter and Ḥokhma. This is called the “Mah (or mem-heh) and Ban (or bet-nun) partzuf of Adam Kadmon.”42Generally, Mah and Ban are two separate partzufim. At this point, however, prior to the second constriction, the partzuf of Mah is not distinctly identifiable. In this context, recall the inverse relationship between the vessels and the lights described in section #24# above.
