“And the wise shall shine as the radiance of the firmament.”

Thus, with the correction of the firmament, the Parsa, KHB TM of Atzilut were split and divided, and twelve Partzufim emerged from them:

1. Keter was divided into four Partzufim: Atik and Nukva, AA and Nukva.

2. Hochma and Bina were divided into four Partzufim: upper AVI and YESHSUT.

3. Tifferet and Malchut were divided into four Partzufim: the great ZON and the small ZON.

Hence, these twelve Partzufim are called the “radiance of the firmament,” since they were made and came out by the force of the firmament.

The first radiance is the radiance of those who shine in the lighting up of the radiance.
The second radiance is the radiance that shines and glitters to several sides.

The first radiance is Partzuf Atik, and the second radiance is his Nukva. Atik himself is from the unsweetened Malchut, above the firmament, which is the matter of not fissured. However, this Malchut is the root of the sweetened Malchut, and she lights the lights of Bina after they have been quenched (RASHBI, Zohar for All, Vol. 3, VaYera “And Behold, Three Men – 1”).

The Zohar is the totality of the light that passes through Atik and Arich Anpin to ZON and enters Nukva.

The souls that ascend from the worlds of BYA (Beria, Yetzira, Assiya) and enter Malchut of the world of Atzilut reveal this light there, and therefore it is called Zohar (radiance).

The entire system is activated by our desire, intention, and prayer (MAN) when we engage in the study of the Zohar.

Our request rises upward, reaches Atik, and from there the light begins to descend toward us. This light is called Zohar.

This light corrects us and fills us.

It also sustains and animates the entire system, brings it into motion, and returns all its parts to the purpose of creation.
