This light is included in the two hundred and seven worlds which are concealed in the region of that light, and is spread throughout all of them. These worlds are under the hidden supernal Throne. There are three hundred and ten of them: two hundred and seven belong to the Right Hand and one hundred and three to the Left Hand. These are the worlds which are always prepared by the Holy One for the righteous, and from them spread treasures of precious things, which are stored away for the delight of the righteous in the world to come. Concerning them it is written: “That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, and I will fill their treasures” (Prov. 8, 21). “Eye hath not seen… what he shall do to those that wait for him” (Isa. 64, 3).
Yesh, substance, indicates the three hundred and ten worlds (numerical value of Yesh) which are stored away under the world to come. The two hundred and seven (numerical value of “or”, light), which are of the Right Hand, are called “the primordial light”, as the Left is also called “light”, but not “primordial”. The primordial light is destined to produce issue for the world to come. And not only in the world to come, but even now every day; for this world would not be able to exist at all if it were not for this light, as it is written, “For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever” (Ps. 89, 3).
אוֹר דָּא אִתְכְּלִיל בְּמָאתָן וְשִׁבְעָה עָלְמִין, דְּאִינּוּן גְּנִיזִין בְּסִטְרָא דְּהַהוּא אוֹר, וְאִתְפָּשַּׁט בְּכֻלְּהוּ. תְּחוֹת כּוּרְסְיָיא עִלָּאָה טְמִירָא, שַׁרְיָין אִינּוּן עוֹלָמוֹת, מִסִּטְרָא דְּהַהוּא יְמִינָא. תְּלַת מֵאָה וָעֶשֶׁר אִינּוּן, מָאתָן וְשֶׁבַע, אִינּוּן בְּסִטְרָא דִּימִינָא. מֵאָה וּתְלַת, אִינּוּן בְּסִטְרָא דִּשְׂמָאלָא. וְאִינּוּן תְּלַת מֵאָה וָעֶשֶׁר. וְאִלֵּין אִינּוּן דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא מְתַקֵּן תָּדִיר לְצַדִּיקַיָּא, וּמֵאִלֵּין מִתְפַּשְּׁטָן כַּמָה וְכַמָּה אוֹצְרֵי חֶמְדָּה, וְכֻלְּהוּ גְּנִיזִין לְאִתְעַדְנָא מִנְהוֹן צַדִּיקַיָּא לְעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי וְעַל אִלֵּין כְּתִיב (משלי ח׳:כ״א) לְהַנְּחִיל אוֹהֲבַי יֵשׁ וְאוֹצְרוֹתֵיהֶם אֲמַלֵּא וְעַל אִלֵּין כְּתִיב (ישעיהו ס״ד:ג׳) עַיִן לא רָאָתָה אֱלהִים זוּלָתְךָ וְגוֹ'.

י"ש: אִלֵּין, תְּלַת מֵאָה וָעֶשֶׁר עוֹלָמוֹת, גְּנִיזִין תְּחוֹת עָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי, (ועל) אִינּוּן מָאתָן וְשֶׁבַע דְּאִינּוּן מִסִּטְרָא דִּימִינָא, אִקְרוּן אוֹר קַדְמָאָה. בְּגִין דְּאֲפִילּוּ אוֹר שְׂמָאלָא אִקְרֵי אוֹר. אֲבָל אוֹר קַדְמָאָה אִיהוּ זַמִין לְמֶעְבַּד תּוֹלָדִין לְעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי. וְאִי תֵּימָא לְעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי וְלָא יַתִּיר. אֶלָּא אֲפִילּוּ בְּכָל יוֹמָא וְיוֹמָא דְּאִי לָא הֲוָה הַאי אוֹר, עָלְמָא לָא יָכִיל לְמֵיקָם, דִּכְתִּיב, (תהילים פ״ט:ג׳) אָמַרְתִּי עוֹלָם חֶסֶד יִבָּנְה.
