Zohar beresheet-b
Continued from previous DZ
#7
Those who attain the Malchut in the halls are the righteous who did not exchange their Master’s honor for other gods. They attain Malchut in the secret of “אֵשֶׁת חַיִל עֲטֶרֶת בַּעְלָהּ” “A woman of valor is the crown of her husband” (Proverbs 12:4). For the secret of Faith, that is of Malchut, is that the one who attains her merits clings to his Master and to fear Him always, and he will not turn to the right or to the left. And we have explained that a person should not go after other gods, who are called prostitute women. For this reason, it is written, “לִשְׁמָרְךָ מֵאִשָּׁה זָרָה מִנָּכְרִיָּה אֲמָרֶיהָ הֶחֱלִיקָה” “to keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner whose words are smooth” (Proverbs 7:5). And a person does not merit all this except through Malchut. And therefore the standing of these righteous who attain her is very great. This is the secret of what they said: “The righteous are nourished by the arm.” However, the rest of human beings cannot attain her, for they need the attribute of mercy as above. And therefore her attribute was hidden in the inwardness and is not seen. And only the point of the attribute of mercy is revealed in her, as above.
And you need to know that the halls in which there is attainment are only six halls, which are Chessed- Gevurah- Tiferet- Netzach- Hod- Yessod, for in the seventh hall there is no attainment there. And they are considered as ten sefirot, for this first hall, which is the hall of Yessod, includes within it also Malchut. The last upper hall, the hall of Binah, includes the three upper ones: Keter, Chochmah, and Binah. And here the Zohar explains the first hall from below to above, which is the hall of Yessod.
Notes:
The righteous who do not exchange their Master for other gods attain Malchut as the woman of valor, the secret of Faith. Through her they cling to Him and do not turn aside. Attainment is only in the six halls of Chessed- Gevurah- Tiferet- Netzach- Hod- Yessod; the seventh has no attainment. The first hall, Yessod, also includes Malchut.

This hall stands in the secret of the upper form, which is Binah, because at the time that the souls of the righteous go out from this world, that is, when they pass to their world, they enter into these halls that are in the lower Garden of Eden, and they sit there every one, all that time that the soul needs to sit there.
The meaning: For the souls of the righteous are the light of Binah, for the light of Binah is called neshama. Therefore, at the time of the passing of the righteous, the neshama needs to rise to the upper Garden of Eden, which is the aspect of Binah. But because neshama was clothed in a body in this world, which is from the aspect of Malchut of the attribute of judgment, she was impressed by it. And even after her passing, she cannot rise to her place in the upper Garden of Eden, for she needs to be purified from the aspect of the body that was impressed in her. Therefore, the lower Garden of Eden was prepared for her, mainly from the aspect of Malchut. It has a relation with the body, being mainly from Malchut, and it also has a relation with the aspect of the neshama, being included in the form of Binah, as above.
Notes:
The first hall is in the form of Binah. After death, the souls of the righteous first sit in the halls of the lower Garden of Eden. The neshama is the light of Binah, but it was impressed by the body of judgment, so it must be purified there before it can rise to the upper Garden of Eden.
