which is a higher revelation of Hashem than that of Gan Eden, the place of delight for the souls, which is in the world of Beriah. לְמַעְלָה מִּג ַן ־ עֵדֶן ת ַעֲנו ג הַנ ְש ָמוֹת ש ֶהו א ב ִּ בְרִּ יאָה ;
whereas, Malchus of Atzilus is the ‘Atik-Transcendent Source’ of Beriah, ו מַלְכו ת־ ד ַ אֲצִּילו ת נַעֲש ֶ ה עַת ִּ יק־ ד ִּ בְרִּ יאָה כוּ' ,
Malchus of Atzilus is much higher than Beriah, it is its source, but only after it descends into the created worlds can it be a direct source for creation. As it exists in Atzilus it is too lofty be directly invested in creation, it is only a “Trascendant Source.” It is on this lofty level that Malchus receives an even greater revelation of Hashem through Ze’eir Anpin in connection with the mitzvah of Tzedaka. Thus, this revelation far surpasses any revelation to the souls in Gan Eden which is only in the World of Beriah.
This revelation in Malchus through the mitzvah of Tzedaka is referred to as: “that from ‘צ ֶדֶ ק-righteousness’ becomes ‘צְדָּקָּהַׁ-charity,’ and the letter ד' becomes a letter ה'.” הָקָדְצ הָ שֲעַנ קֶדֶ צִּ מֶ ש– ד נַעֲש ֶה ה .
The word ‘קֶדֶ צ-righteousness’ is a reference to the level of Malchus, Hashem’s Kingship, which is built on righteous and correct judgement. However, when Malchus receives a greater revelation of Hashem’s Kindness (through Ze’eir Anpin), then this strict and righteous judgement turns into ‘צְדָקָה-charity,’ meaning that Hashem is more merciful in running His Kingdom and charitably grants people the chance to correct their mistakes and thereby be judged favorably.
When this happens then Malchus changes its name from from ‘קֶדֶ צ-righteousness’ to ‘צְדָקָה-charity,’ which is the same word with an additional letter ה' . This ה' represents that Malchus has received a deeper revelation of Hashem from Ze’eir Anpin.
