(5) 5. The tenth precept is to put on Tefilin, and to complete himself with the supernal image. As it is written, "And Elohim created man in His own image" (Genesis 1:27). He opened the discussion by saying: "Your head upon you is like the Carmel" (Song of Songs 7:6). This verse has already been explained. Nevertheless, "Your head upon you is like the Carmel" applies to the supernal head - the Tefilin worn on the head of the holy Supernal King Yud Hei Vav Hei that appears in the written letters: Each letter is equivalent to one paragraph. The Holy Name is engraved according to the proper order of the letters. And we have learned that the verse "that you are called by the name of Hashem, and they shall be afraid of you" (Deuteronomy 28:10) refers to the Tefilin of the head, which represent the Holy Name, according to the order of the letters.
(6) 6. The first words that appear in the Tefilin read, "Sanctify to Me all the firstborn (Heb. קַדֶּשׁ לִי...)" (Exodus 13:2). This corresponds to Yud, which is holiness - which is the firstborn of all the supernal sanctities. These are "whatever opens the womb" (Exodus 13:12) by that narrow line that descends from the Yud, which opens the womb to bring forth proper fruit and seeds. This is the supernal holiness.
(7) 7. The second paragraph reads, "And it shall be when Hashem shall bring you (Heb. וְהָיָה כִי יְבִיאֲךָ)" (Exodus 13:5). This is Hei. This is the temple whose womb is opened by the letter Yud through fifty openings, corridors and rooms that are concealed within it. The letter Yud made an opening in that temple so that the sound of the Shofar can be heard through it. Because the Shofar is blocked on all sides, Yud came and opened it so that the sound could be heard. When it opened it, the Shofar was blown and sound was emitted. The emission of this sound was to free the slaves. So by blowing of the Shofar, Yisrael were delivered from Egypt. And so another time in the future, at the End of Days. Every deliverance originates from this Shofar. And this is why the exodus from Egypt is written in this paragraph. Because it is a result of this Shofar - by the force of the letter Yud - that the womb was opened, enabling it to bring forth its sound to redeem the slaves. This is Hei, the second letter of the Holy Name.
(8) 8. The third paragraph is the secret of the unification in "Hear O Yisrael (Heb. שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל)" (Deuteronomy 6:4). This corresponds to the letter Vav and combines all within; itself - the unity of all, as all are united in it. And it gathers all, as well! The fourth paragraph reads, "And it shall come to pass, if you shall hearken (Heb. וְהָיָה אִם שָׁמוֹעַ)" (Deuteronomy 11:13). This includes two aspects (Chesed and Gevurah)

(1) 1. combined together because the Congregation of Yisrael, which is the lower Gevurah, is united with them. And this is the last Hei, which gathers all the others together and includes them all. The Tefilin are actually the letters of the Holy Name. Therefore, "Your head upon you is like the Carmel" - the Tefilin of the head. "And the hair (Heb. dalat) from dalah (poor) of your head" (Song of Songs 7:6) refers to the Tefilin of the hand, as she is poor, in comparison to above. Thus, she achieves perfection as above! "a king is caught in its tresses" (Ibid. 6), that he is tied down and tightly held in those compartments for the purpose of being properly united with that Holy Name. Therefore, whoever puts them on receives the image of Elohim. Because just as Elohim is united with the Holy Name, so does the person who puts them on become united with the Holy Name accordingly. "Male and female He created them" (Genesis 1:27) - the Tefilin of the head and the Tefilin of the hand - and all is one (the same)!
creating it in the image of God—
creating them male and female.
The locks of your head are like purple—
A king is held captive in the tresses.-c
