Peace at Home and Peace of Both Sides

122. What is “that all the peace is his”? Are there many kinds of peace? One peace is peace at home, because of which the male is regarded as male, for a coupling is called “peace,” and one is peace of both sides, right and left, for there was a dispute between them, and one who entered in the middle, held those two sides and made peace between them. This is another peace.

123. But the peace because of which the male is regarded as a male is righteous, Yesod, and the upper king, ZA, and because of it, he is called “a king that peace is his.” For this reason, all the praise of The Song of Songs is to the king that all the peace is his, both the peace of the coupling with Malchut, and the upper peace that decides between the two lines right and left in Bina.

The unification when everything is unified, the two kinds of peace, are in the place of Bina, where ZA ascends with Malchut to the middle line that is there, which is his root. You find that he consists of both kinds of peace together, since he takes all the passion of all the organs, the Sefirot, and all the pleasures and all the upper passions in Bina, and collects it all within him and bestows upon Malchut.

124. This is why he is called “one,” King Solomon in the holy spirit, which is Malchut, since when the holy spirit was on him, he wanted to connect everything in the complete desire as it should be, and unite everything in affection, in good will, to be one above, in HB, and below, in ZA and in Malchut. It is written about this, “The Lord will be one and His name ‘One.’”
