31. Shabbat [Sabbath] has the letters of Shin Bat [daughter], for when three patriarchs, HGT, unite with Malchut, who is the daughter, it will be called Shabbat.

32. It is written, “And he planted a tamarisk tree at Beersheba.” The cutting of the plantations that Adam HaRishon cut by eating the tree of knowledge, Abraham corrected him. In Beersheba means in Malchut, where there was the flaw. Eshel [tamarisk] implies the colors of the qualities, which are HGT—red, black, white—whose acronym is Aleph-Lamed-Shin [Eshel]. He drew from them to Beersheba, to Malchut, that three herds of flock lie upon it, who are HGT, and the well is Malchut.

33. Jacob served in the house of Shem and went through fourteen years for the correction of Yovel* and Shmita,** who are Leah and Rachel, since the Malchut who is from the Chazeh and above of ZA is called Leah, the state of Bina, which is why she is called Yovel, while Malchut from the Chazeh and below of ZA is called Rachel, and she is the seventh Sefira to HGT NHY of ZA, and is called Shmita.

* Yovel: 50^th year anniversary.

** Shmita: Remission of land cultivation every 7^th year.
