263. Each time male spirits rise up, all the women go out and gather there to the hall of Batia, Pharaoh’s daughter. They rejoice there with several ancient things, and from there, they all come out and enter, and Batia with them, to the hall of Serach, daughter of Asher, and they rejoice in several new and old things. From there they go out and Serach is with them, and enter the hall of Yocheved, and so it is in all the halls.

264. Each Shmita [year of remission of tilling the land], a herald comes out in the Garden of Eden, “Gather, men and women, and all the faithful ones, and rise up!” At that time, everyone strips, males and women, and rise up. And all those who are weaned from milk rise up to the seminary of the firmament, the seminary of Matat, rejoice in joy over their ascent, and there is joy over joy there. And that youth, whose master’s keys are in his hands, Matat, arises and tells them several new and old things. And everyone sees joy, and there is no joy like that joy.

265. Afterwards, they all rise up inside. Several veils and several halls are hidden there, which shine in the pleasantness of the Lord inside the Creator’s hall of love, as it is written, “to behold the pleasantness of the Creator and to visit in His hall.” Afterwards, the children who are weaned from milk fly up to the upper seminary, and men and women fly down and return to their place in the bottom Garden of Eden, where they wear their clothes as before. Happy is the people for which all the good of that world awaits.
