523. In the section in the barn, in Malchut, there is a rich one, ZA, and they are one, meaning that the section and the rich one within it are one. They are two, ZA and Malchut, but they are connected as one, and all the crowns and names of the holy faith, Malchut, are for them, too, without inverting into bad, meaning that there is no grip to the evil shells in them, since those in whom there is inversion into bad, always stand before the door to the king’s house, outside the faith, outside of Malchut.

That word of the Lord, Malchut, who is connected to the Lord, ZA, is called “good name,” as it is written, “a good name,” for the Lord is good, and the “name,” Malchut who is connected with him, is called “good name.”

524. That same evil side is two, male and female connected with each other. Their names are in inversion to the bad from the good, other gods, another god, a bad name. The names Elokim, El, name, were inverted into bad, since the female of the other side is called so when she is in connection with the male who connected with her, and they do not part.

525. These male and female of the Sitra Achra are appointed over other nations, to nourish them and fill their needs. And not because of their name, for their name does not nourish them, but rather Malchut of the holiness.

Although Malchut roams and is distant from ZA during the exile, she is with Israel in exile, and the nations do not know that they are growing stronger in the holy name, that she nourishes and strengthens that bad name, the female of the Sitra Achra, due to the iniquities of Israel, as it is written, “Set me as a guard of the vineyards.”

Even when Israel rule, the holiness of faith, Malchut, takes it and gives the portion of the bones to the dog, to the bad name, and the wicked are nourished from it.
