Daily Zohar 5271
Hebrew translation:
22. וְלִפְנִים מֵהֵיכָל זֶה עוֹמְדִים כָּל אוֹתָם בַּעֲלֵי תְשׁוּבָה שְׁלֵמָה, שֶׁנִּשְׁמָתָם יָצְאָה בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁהִתְמַרְמְרוּ עַל מַעֲשֵׂיהֶם. וְאֵלּוּ מִתְעַדְּנִים בְּעִדּוּן עֶלְיוֹן בְּכָל יוֹם וָיוֹם. וְשָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים בְּיוֹם אוֹר נִכְנָס בְּאוֹתוֹ הֵיכָל שֶׁמִּתְעַדְּנִים בּוֹ כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד כָּרָאוּי לוֹ, וְכָל אֶחָד נִכְוֶה מֵאוֹר שֶׁל הַחֻפָּה שֶׁל חֲבֵרוֹ, בֵּין לְמַטָּה בֵּין לְמַעְלָה.

Zohar beresheet-b
Continued from previous DZ
#21
In the fifth hall are found all those masters of complete repentance who returned from their sins and were comforted in them. That is, they did repentance from love, so that intentional sins (זדונות) became for them like merits (זכיות). Then they were comforted over the sins they had sinned, for merits were added to them because of them, and their soul went out in purity. Also all those who sanctified the Name of their Master and took upon themselves the surrender of life (מסירת נפש) for His honor, blessed be He — they too are found in this hall. And at the opening of the hall stands Manasseh King of Judah, who did complete repentance for his sins, and the Holy One, blessed be He, accepted his repentance and dug a tunnel for him under the Throne of Glory to receive him. That is, He hid him as within a tunnel from the eyes of the accusers, so that they would not accuse him. And here is the aspect of Netzach, Hod, Yessod of this hall.
Notes:
The fifth hall holds those who returned in complete repentance from love, so that intentional sins became merits, and those who gave their lives for the sanctification of the Name. Manasseh stands at the opening, received under the Throne of Glory and hidden from the accusers. This is the aspect of Netzach, Hod, Yessod of the hall.
#22
And in the inwardness of Netzach, Hod, Yessod in this hall are found all those masters of mighty repentance, who strengthened themselves in their repentance until their soul went out from the bitterness over their evil deeds. And these delight in the upper Eden every single day. And here is the aspect of Chessed, Gevurah, Tiferet in this hall. And three times a day the light enters this hall, in which the souls delight, each and every one as is fitting for her. And these three times are the secret of the three lines upon which the lights of the three upper ones (ג” ר) of this hall are drawn. And each one is burned by the light of the canopy of his fellow, both below and above. That is, in both the lower and upper halls, the standing of the righteous is not equal. And each one has a canopy of his own, and one cannot touch the canopy of his fellow who is higher than him, for he is burned by it as one who touches fire.
Notes:
Those whose repentance was so strong that the soul left in bitterness over their deeds delight in the upper Eden each day. Light enters three times a day, the three lines of the three upper ones (ג” ר, levels). Each righteous one has his own canopy, and one is burned if he touches the higher canopy of another.
