The face of the Queen, these are the forty-nine facets of purity (through which the Torah can be interpreted), shining like a rose, white and red, drawing in from the right and from the left. White, from the clarity of humility; Red, from the shame of fear - yar'e boshet (an anagram of Bereshit, "In the beginning"). When [Her face] becomes golden-green, this is the Groom who has risen up to the sun, who is the Supernal Mother.
From these three colours of the face emanate the seventy-two facets (of the divine name), whose numerical value equals that of Hesed (Loving-kindness), and which is comprised of two hundred and sixteen letters, the numerical value of which equals that of Gevurah (Might). This is the mystery [hinted at in the words] (Exodus 34:6) Vaya'avor Ado-nai, "And God passed before", which itself is the mystery of 'Ibbur (Impregnation or intercalation.
Both Vaya'avor and 'Ibbur are comprised of the letters representing 72 and 216). He illuminates the Bride with four faces, as it is written, (Ezekiel 1:6) "Four faces [belonging] to [each] one."

Within this Vav is a pregnant woman, the mystery of the impregnation of Yesod (Foundation), containing a drop (of semen) by which impregnation takes place. This is Vav, for without such a drop no impregnation could occur. This is the mind containing wisdom.
