Yaakov Avinu was nullified to the Sefirah of ~~Tiferet~~ as a merkavah, as all his days his service was through this attribute. The essence of ~~Tiferet~~ is the unification of opposites, and Yaakov Avinu tried to draw down the lights of Tohu in vessels of Tikun, which is accomplished through Tiferet. Additionally, Yaakov Avinu was the chosen one among the Avot, and his level is called "the middle bolt that extends from end to end," as ~~Tiferet~~ extends up to the inner dimension of Keter. It is also explained that his lineage was complete, for from Avraham who represents Chesed came Yishmael who represents Chesed of kelipah, and from Yitzchak who represents Gevurah came Eisav who represents Gevurah of kelipah, but with Yaakov who represents Tiferet, his lineage was complete, as in ~~Tiferet~~ there is less possibility for external forces to derive sustenance.

== In Relation to Other Sefirot ==

~~Tiferet~~ has two aspects: an external aspect called Shamayim and an internal aspect called Rakia. The external aspect of ~~Tiferet~~ serves as an intermediary between Chesed and Gevurah, while the internal aspect of ~~Tiferet~~ constitutes its own distinct dimension - the middle line. The source of external ~~Tiferet~~ is the Sefirah of Binah and corresponds to the level of the name Elokim. From the perspective of the name Elokim, it can also include Gevurot, thus this aspect serves as an intermediary and is called Shamayim - from the words "sham mayim" - the inclusion of fire and water. The source of internal ~~Tiferet~~ is the Sefirah of Chochmah, and is called Rakia - from the words "raka yud". Yaakov's level in external ~~Tiferet~~ is the aspect in which he includes the levels of Avraham and Yitzchak, the inclusion of Chesed and Gevurah. Yaakov's level in internal ~~Tiferet~~ is the aspect in which he is drawn from Yesod Abba, as alluded to in his name Yud-Ekev - the Yud of Chochmah. The aspect of Rakia - the essence of internal ~~Tiferet~~ - is also alluded to in his name, as the word Yaakov includes the letters Kuf-Yud-Ayin of the word Rakia, and the letter Reish of Rakia is interchangeable with the letter Beit in the letter substitutions of Alef-Yud-Kuf Beit-Kaf-Reish.
