.
Hebrew translation:
193. עָלָה בְרָצוֹן, לְהוֹצִיא אָדָם שַׁלִּיט לְמַטָּה. הִתְקִין בַּחַיָּה הַזּוֹ עָפָר דַּקִּיק אֶחָד שֶׁכָּלוּל מֵהַכֹּל. נָשַׁב בּוֹ וְהִתְפַּשֵּׁט בְּאַרְבַּעַת צִדְדֵי הָעוֹלָם. וְאַרְבַּע חֲתִיכוֹת הִתְגַּלְגְּלוּ, אַחַת לְמַעְלָה, אַחַת לְמַטָּה, אַחַת לַצָּפוֹן, אַחַת לַדָּרוֹם.
194. אִילָן אֶחָד גָּדוֹל וְחָזָק הִתְחַבֵּר וְהִזְדַּוֵּג עִמָּהּ בְּעָנָף אֶחָד יָפֶה שֶׁמַּרְאֵהוּ שִׂמְחַת הַכֹּל, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (תהלים מח) יְפֵה נוֹף מְשׂוֹשׂ כָּל הָאָרֶץ. עִמּוֹ הִזְדַּוֵּג, הוֹצִיאוּ רוּחַ טְמִירָה אַחַת, וּמִלֵּא אוֹתָהּ עִסַּת הֶעָפָר, וְעָמַד עַל רַגְלָיו, וְהִמְלִיךְ אוֹתוֹ עַל כָּל הָעוֹלָם וְהִשְׁלִיט אוֹתוֹ עַל הַכֹּל. זֶהוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב (שם ח) תַּמְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ וְגוֹ’. נִצְטַוָּה עַל אוֹתוֹ הָאִילָן, לֹא שָׁמַר אֶת הַמִּצְוָה. הֵשִׁיב הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת רוּחוֹ אֵלָיו, וְאוֹתָהּ הַחַיָּה לָקְחָה אוֹתוֹ.

Zohar Vaetchanan
#192
Daniel 7:6
“בָּאתַר דְּנָה חָזֵה הֲוֵית בְּחֶזְוֵי לֵילְיָא וַאֲרוּ חֵיוָה רביעיה [רְבִיעָאָה] דְּחִילָה וְאֵימְתָנִי וְתַקִּיפָא יַתִּירָא וְשִׁנַּיִן דִּי פַרְזֶל לַהּ רַבְרְבָן אָכְלָה וּמַדֱּקָה וּשְׁאָרָא ברגליה [בְּרַגְלַהּ] רָפְסָה וְהִיא מְשַׁנְּיָה מִן כָּל חֵיוָתָא דִּי קָדָמַיהּ וְקַרְנַיִן עֲשַׂר לַהּ.”
“After this, I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.”
The word for ‘horn’ in Hebrew is ‘קרן’, which also means ‘ray of light’.
Under the shadow of Zeir Anpin, a wild beast with ten ‘horns’ roams the field. The beast in the field is Malchut, and the ten ‘horns’ represent ten Lights in Malchut. The eyes of the beast are like human eyes and its mouth speaks great things. The eyes represent the Light of Chokmah and the mouth that speaks great things is the expression and the manifestation of the inner light.
When Malchut goes up to unify with Zeir Anpin, she becomes one with him and spreads the Light of Chassadim that come from Zeir Anpin.
At night Malchut is hidden and can’t spread Light. When she moves, Light of Chokmah with harsh judgments is revealed. It makes the lines of Right, Left, Center and Malchut shake. With Malchut traveling sixty batons of fire that is the aspect of the sixty mighty warriors with sharp swords on their hips, that is the aspect of Yessod that is the gate from where the judgments come out.
#193
The will of the Creator included the creation of man to have control in Malchut. His body was made from fine dust that included the ten sefirot. Four parts of this body rolled to four directions. One rolled upward and this is Netzach. One rolled downward and it is Hod. One to the North is the left hand and the sefira of Gevurah. One to the South that is the right hand and the sefira of Chessed.
Genesis 2:7
“וַיִּיצֶר יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים אֶת הָאָדָם עָפָר מִן הָאֲדָמָה וַיִּפַּח בְּאַפָּיו נִשְׁמַת חַיִּים וַיְהִי הָאָדָם לְנֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה.”
“And YHVH God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.”
The ‘fine dust’ is the aspect of Malchut that is ‘sweetened’ with the Light of Binah. This Light elevates Malchut to become an integral part of Binah.
#194
A great and strong tree that is the Tree of Life, Zeir Anpin, joined Malchut with unification and the Tree brings joy to all as it says;
Psalms 48:3
“יְפֵה נוֹף מְשׂוֹשׂ כָּל הָאָרֶץ הַר צִיּוֹן יַרְכְּתֵי צָפוֹן קִרְיַת מֶלֶךְ רָב.”
“Beautiful in elevation, The joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, The city of the great King.”
The unification brought out a spirit that filled the fine dust and the man stood on his feet and received the power to control Malchut as it says;
Psalms 8:7
“תַּמְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ כֹּל שַׁתָּה תַחַת רַגְלָיו.”
“You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,”
