505) Yod–Shin is Hochma, which is existence from absence, extending from Keter, who is called “absence.” In a place where there is the upper Shechina, Bina, there is Hochma. It is so because Hochma appears only in Bina. It is written about it, “To endow those who love me with Yesh [Yod–Shin (existence/substance)],” since the Hochma in Bina illuminates only in Hesed. Those who adhere to Hesed are called “lovers of the Creator,” and only they can inherit Yesh, Hochma, since they have Hesed, as it is written, “And showing mercy [Hesed] to thousands, to those who love Me,” from the side of the love of Hesed.
Thousands is Hochma, and showing [Hebrew: making] Hesed means clothing the Hochma in Hassadim. Yesh, Hochma, is to the right. It illuminates only by clothing of Hesed in the right, as we learn, “One who wishes to grow wise will go south.” And this is why it is written, “To endow those who love me with Yesh,” since they have Hesed, right.
506) In the qualities of the Creator, to the extent that one exerts, mentions, and studies, to the extent that one appreciates, one is allotted. That is, he is given to the extent that he mentions. There are seventy faces to the Torah, seventy qualities, since each of the seven qualities, HGT NHYM, comprises ten, so they are seventy, as it is written, “Wherever I mention My name, I will come to you and bless you.” Should it not have said, “Wherever you mention My name”? But to the extent that I mention My name, to that extent I will come to you and bless you.
507) It is written, “I know that everything that the God will do will be forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it.” King Solomon, whose wisdom was greater than all the people in the world, said, “I know that everything that the God will do will be forever,” meaning that he knew what no one else knew.
508) The wisdom of King Solomon exceeded the wisdom of all the people in the world. What he knew, no other person knew. When the rest of the craftsmen in the world engage in craftsmanship, they look at it once or twice and do it. Afterward they add to it or take from it.
The Creator is not so: He elicits the craft as it truly is from Tohu, where it has no substance whatsoever, and it is established just as it should be, and he does not need to add or subtract from it. This is why it is written, “And God saw all that He had done, and behold, it was very good.” Solomon said about that, “I know that everything that the God will do…” and therefore, “There is nothing to take from it.”
