3 Parts/Arks standard Torah interpretation

Rashi is "the" standard Torah commentator, considering Talmud, and the Oral teachings:

What Rashi says about the Ark of the Covenant:

Verse 10: They shall make an ark---

similar to boxes which are made without legs--- made like a chest called escrin [in Old French] which rests on its bottom.

Verse 11: You shall cover it inside and out.

Bezalel made three arks, two of gold and one of wood. Each one had four walls and a bottom and were open at the top. He placed the wooden one into the [large] golden one and the [small] golden one into the wooden one. He then covered the upper rim with gold. Consequently, it was covered [with gold] on the inside and on the outside.

Golden crown-like rim.

There was a crown-like [ornament] circled around above the edge, for he made the outer ark taller than the inner one so that it rose up against the thickness of the cover and somewhat above it. [Consequently] when the cover was lying on the thickness of the walls [of the inner arks] the [crown-like] rim rose above the entire thickness of the cover a slight amount. This was to symbolize the crown of the Torah.

A brief note on Adam Qadmon

The World of Adam Qadmon is Secret in Secret, it is the Kingdom (Malkuth) of the Endless (Ain Soph), and stretches from the top of Atziluth to the Depths of Ashiah. It is the Concealed Name Haveya from which the 4 Worlds shall eventually derive.

The 4 Worlds have their "Roots" in the 4 Names Haveya (i.e. Haveya - 72, Haveya - 63, Haveya - 45, Haveya 52) that whirl forth in Radiant-Brilliance (Zohar) from the orifices of His Countenance. these are the Worlds of the Senses associated with the Orifices of the Face, they precede the Shevirah HaKellim [Breaking of the Vessels] (Which is also termed the "Deaths of the Kings of Edom who ruled before there was a King to rule in Israel"). These are the components of Holy Writ (Cantillation Notes, Vowels, Crownlets, and Letters) that are required to recite the Torah... which on this level is a running Name of Divinity that manifests by weaving Reality out of Itself. there are really no Partzufim in these high levels, nor are there "senses" or "orifices"! We only use these terms and diagrams to "please the ears" and "eyes"! This Name (which is the Torah and its component parts) at this Level is truly "Ineffable"...

A-KThR-I-AL

If you study the copulation of Sandalphon and Metatron and how it involves the Worlds...

then

... it may begin to make sense why the Name AKThRIAL (Akatriel) is composed of Kether (KThR) sandwiched between Aleph and Yod... and then ending with the Divine Name "AL"...

Copulation of Sandalphon and Metatron

Excerpt from Sefer Heh, and a rough but helpful diagram (sorry only a laptop until I'm done moving; so no scanner and I'm not much for drawing with MS Paint). This is heavy Kabbalah with much quoting of de Herrera.

Talmud Bavi, Berakhot 7a: Akatriel Yah

Upright Faith

This notarikon about AMIRaH (Shabtai Tzvi) was made Theologically famous by the revered Hakham Abraham Yakhini z"l. It states:

"The worthy are in great glory, the righteous is upright with an upright faith."

The Initial letters of the words in the verse spell "Shabtai Tzvi".
