21. “They shall not make any bald place on their heads.” “Bald” is written with the letter Hey at its end, the upper oil, the abundance of Abba, the sacred anointing oil that complements all seven days, HGT NHYM, as it is written, “For seven days shall he fill your hand.” That upper oil was removed from the priest and a bald place was made, if he blemishes his head. The head of the high priest, GAR of ZA, is the upper oil, the lights of Abba. Hence, the bottom priest should not show in himself any flaw, for because he is aiming corresponding to the upper priest, his actions blemish him. This is why it is written, “They shall not make any bald place” with a Hey, which is the letters of “Will not be bald, Hey” [in Hebrew. Hey designates the Creator], that he will not blemish and will not make the first Hey of HaVaYaH, Ima—who draws the oil from Abba and crowns the head of ZA—bald.
