And this is ‘the life-force’∞ḥaiy (=18) of the worlds, which incorporates the 18 blessings, it is ‘dry and parched’, in prayer – which is the Shekhinah. And because of this it is a dry prayer, because of it there is ‘argument’ between Father and Mother.
And when qametz ָ is opened, through pataḥ ַ, which is its gate, the Middle Pillar descends ‘full’.
And there is a distance of 5-hundred years, until they reach the ‘life-force of the worlds’, [which incorporates the 18 blessings] and it becomes filled from it, and from it the Shekhinah – which is prayer – is quenched, and that which was dry is now called ‘land’ (eretz).
