Editing Atik Yomin (section)

== In Daniel's Vision ==
In Daniel's vision it is said (7:9): "I was watching until thrones were set up, and '''Atik Yomin''' sat; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool; His throne was fiery flames, its wheels were burning fire."

"And Atik Yomin sat" refers to the Holy One, blessed be He, and about Him it is said that "His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool." In Kabbalah and Chassidus it is explained that the level of "Atik Yomin" is a high level in divinity, higher than the partzufim of the world of Atzilus, and even higher than the partzuf of Arich Anpin.

The matter of "His garment was white as snow and the hair of His head was like pure wool" is connected to the matter of mitzvos and Torah. The matter of "His garment was white as snow" is the garment of Malchus in which the Holy One, blessed be He, clothed Himself, making a garment and concealment to be clothed in the aspect of kingship, and this is the matter of mitzvos, which are the commandments of the king that there should be bitul hayesh to ayin. And the matter of "the hair of His head was like pure wool" is the matter of the particular halachos of the Torah, as the drawing down of mitzvos to this world is in many particular details, and this is like the parable of hairs.

It is further explained that "His garment was white as snow" refers to the partzuf of Arich Anpin which clothes the partzuf of Atik Yomin. And "the hair of His head was like pure wool" refers to Arich Anpin, which is the hair of the head of Arich Anpin. And this is as explained that the root of mitzvos is in the gulgalta of Arich Anpin.
