Hebrew translation:
169. אַחַר שֶׁהַכֹּל יָצָא וְכָל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד הִתְתַּקֵּן בִּמְקוֹמוֹ, עָזַב אֶת הַכֹּל וְאָמַר יְהֹוָ”ה. זֶה פְּרָט, וְזֶה הַקִּיּוּם. וּבְאוֹתָהּ שָׁעָה יָדַע מֹשֶׁה אֶת סוֹד הַשֵּׁם הַקָּדוֹשׁ הַנִּסְתָּר וְהַנִּגְלֶה, וְנִדְבָּק בְּמַה שֶּׁלֹּא נִדְבְּקוּ שְׁאָר בְּנֵי הָעוֹלָם. אַשְׁרֵי חֶלְקוֹ. בָּא רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר וְנָשַׁק יָדוֹ.
170. אָמַר לוֹ, אֶלְעָזָר בְּנִי, מִכָּאן וָהָלְאָה הִזָּהֵר שֶׁלֹּא לִכְתֹּב אֶת הַשֵּׁם הַקָּדוֹשׁ אֶלָּא כָּרָאוּי. שֶׁכָּל מִי שֶׁלֹּא יוֹדֵעַ לִכְתֹּב אֶת הַשֵּׁם הַקָּדוֹשׁ כָּרָאוּי וְלִקְשֹׁר אֶת קֶשֶׁר הָאֱמוּנָה קֶשֶׁר שֶׁל אֶחָד עִם אֶחָד כְּדֵי לְיַחֵד אֶת הַשֵּׁם הַקָּדוֹשׁ, כָּתוּב עָלָיו (במדבר טו) כִּי דְבַר ה’ בָּזָה וְאֶת מִצְוָתוֹ הֵפַר הִכָּרֵת תִּכָּרֵת וְגוֹ’. אֲפִלּוּ שֶׁהֶחֱסִיר דַּרְגָּה אַחַת אוֹ קֶשֶׁר אֶחָד מֵאוֹת אַחַת מֵהֶן.

Zohar Acharei Mot
Continued from previous DZ
#168
Come and see how it descended from level to level to reveal the secret of the holy name to Moses. Initially, “אֶהְיֶה” “Ehyeh,” which encompasses everything and is concealed, was not revealed at all. This refers to supernal Aba and Ima (upper Father and Mother), as said. The sign for this is,
Proverbs 8:30
“וָאֶהְיֶה אֶצְלוֹ אָמוֹן וָאֶהְיֶה שַׁעֲשֻׁעִים יוֹם יוֹם מְשַׂחֶקֶת לְפָנָיו בְּכָל עֵת.”
“Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,”
and it is written,
Job 28:13
“לֹא יָדַע אֱנוֹשׁ עֶרְכָּהּ וְלֹא תִמָּצֵא בְּאֶרֶץ הַחַיִּים.”
“No man knows its value., Nor is it found in the land of the living.”
“No man knows its value.” This indicates that the Chokmah, which represents supernal Aba and Ima, is concealed and written about them: “no man knows its value” because Chokmah is hidden in them and is not known.
Afterward, Aba and Ima emanated that river, which is the upper Mother, and she became pregnant and is destined to give birth. It says “אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה” “Asher Ehyeh,” which means, “I am prepared to give birth and to rectify everything.” Later, when she begins to give birth, the term “אֲשֶׁר”, “Asher” is not used because, at the time of birth, the upper union is separated, as mentioned earlier. Instead, it is simply “אֶהְיֶה,” indicating that now she will produce, give birth, and rectify everything.
Note:
This Zohar describes the descent and transition from the concealed state of Chokmah within the upper realms to the preparation for revelation and finally to the actual process of giving birth and rectification. This process is signified by the variations of the name “אֶהְיֶה,” which are connected to different stages of revelation and actualization.
#169
After everything emerged and each was established in its place, meaning after Zeir Anpin was born and came down to its place, everything else was left behind, meaning all the names mentioned before, and he said, “YHVH.” This is the aspect of the level of Zeir Anpin, not in connection with Ima (Mother, Binah). This is the aspect of existence Mohin of Zeir Anpin, called existence. At that moment, Moses knew the secret of the holy name, both hidden and revealed, and he adhered to it as no other human being ever did. Blessed is his portion. Rabbi Elazar came and kissed his hands.
Notes:
After the process of creation and rectification, each part was established in its place. Ima (Binah, Mother) gave birth to Zeir Anpin that took its position, which signifies the completion as YHVH.
#170
He said to him, “Elazar, my son, from now on, be careful not to write the holy name except as it should be, for whoever does not know how to write the holy name properly and to connect the connection of faith, the connection of Zeir Anpin and Malchut, in the manner of “יְהוָה אֶחָד וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד” “YHVH is one and His name is one,” to unite the holy name, it is written about him,
Numbers 15:31
“כִּי דְבַר יְהוָה בָּזָה וְאֶת מִצְוָתוֹ הֵפַר הִכָּרֵת תִּכָּרֵת הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא עֲוֹנָה בָהּ.”
“Because he has despised the word of YHVH, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt shall be upon him.'”
Even if he omits one level, unification, or letter from them.
Notes:
Rabbi Shimon emphasizes to Rabbi Elazar the utmost importance of writing the holy name with precision. This precision is not merely about correct spelling but involves a profound spiritual connection and understanding. This connection must be made with the intention of unity, as described in the phrase, “YHVH is one, and His name is one.”
