That is, when (Microprosopus) is considered as having (in Himself the symbolism of) right side and left side. As it is written, Hosea xiv. 7, “And his smell like Lebanon.”
And concerning His Bride it is written, Cant. vii. 9, “And [pg 347] the smell of thy nostril like apples.” Which if it be true concerning the Bride, how much more concerning Himself? And this is a notable saying.
When therefore it is said, “And Tetragrammaton smelled the odor of peace,” the word “HNIChCh,” Ha-Nichach, of peace, can be understood in a double sense.
One sense is primary, when the Most Holy Ancient One, the Concealed with all Concealments, is manifested; for HVA, Hoa, He, is the peace and mitigation of all things.
And the other respecteth the inferior mitigation, which is done through the smoke and fire of the altar.
And because of this duplicate meaning is the word NIChCh, Nichach, written with a double Ch. And all these things are said concerning Microprosopus.
Chapter XVI: Concerning the Ears of Microprosopus
There are two ears for hearing the good and the evil, and these two can be reduced into one.
