192. “And the Lord blessed Abraham with everything” is as it is written, “for everything in heaven and on earth,” that He blessed Abraham with the Sefira Yesod, who is called “all,” who is the giver and blesses the quality of Malchut. “All,” Yesod, receives from heaven, ZA, and gives to the earth, Malchut. It is written, “Thus shall you bless,” that the priests will bless Malchut, who is called Koh, for because of Israel, Koh is blessed by the priest, so that Israel below are blessed and there will be blessing in everything. For the future [end of correction], it is written, “May the Lord bless you from Zion.” “Blessed be the Lord from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem,” meaning that Malchut will not need to be blessed first, but the blessing will always be in her. Zion is the internality of Malchut; Jerusalem is the externality of Malchut.
