And at that time, when She descends, what is written of the ḥayot? (Ez 1:24) And I heard the voice of their wings...
Arose Elijah and said: ‘Rabbi! Rabbi! Go back over what you said! Certainly, when She ascends, all the ḥayot (angelic-beasts) are chirping towards Her, with many songs and praises. And She ascends above all of them to the Infinite, it is this that is written: (Prov. 31:29) Many daughters have done valiantly, but you have risen above them all.
Until Israel calls to Her below, through the recital of the Shm’a, that She should descend towards them. And through Whom do they call to Her? Through Her coupling partner, who is Vav ו – ‘Israel the Elder’. And He is ShYR (Song-of) EL (God) anagram of Yisrael, – His song, for if they did not call to Her through it, She would not descend towards them.
