Petach<\/em> 71 reads, the arrangement of the lights<\/strong>, i.e., the Sephirot<\/em>, of the Partzuf<\/em>, their interconnections and everything about them are just like the arrangement of the limbs and organs of a human body. <\/strong>That\u2019s to say that everything that exists in man<\/strong> i.e., when it comes to his organs, has a corresponding aspect in the lights in the Partzufim<\/em> above <\/strong>[1].<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Ramchal points out in his comments here, \u201cthis corresponds to the mystical understanding of (the often cited verse that reads) \u2018from my flesh I perceive God\u2019 (Job 19:26)\u201d, which has allowed many Kabbalists to grasp the makeup of the upper realms by inference.<\/p>\n

In fact, as Ramchal continues in his comments, \u201cit\u2019s in the Partzufim<\/em> (alone) that we find this differentiation into particulars, not in the Sephirot<\/em>\u201d. That\u2019s to say that it\u2019s the complexities and subtleties of the Partzufim<\/em> that allow for analogies which the relative straightforward and linear makeup of the Sephirot<\/em> would not.<\/p>\n
