And when each one takes its portion, a tenth remains of all those drops, which is taken by that ‘dry land’, which is: (Num. 28:5)... a tenth of an eiphah of fine flour... and because of that, we tithe.
And that drop is lengthened in the Middle Pillar, and is made into ‘seed’ – a Vav ו (=6) which includes six directions. And just as all the sephirot take their portion from that drop Yod, so they take from the seed [Var. from that seed] which is Vav ו. When it is small it is made into six, when it takes of Yod י (=10) it amounts to sixty: six times ten. But each of all the sephirot is nine, and with Malkhut, each one is completed to ten.
