Yud Ches

And this is the aspect of t’chum Shabbos of 2,000 amos . For immediately upon the entry of Shabbos, through the holiness of the day, the feet ascend. And then immediately emunah is drawn and revealed through the Upper Arousal in great revelation. And then the holiness of the revelation of emunah extends to 2,000 amos, which is the t’chum Shabbos, drawn from the aspect of the 2,000 years that the Torah preceded the world — which is the aspect of the Torah having descended through many constrictions until it was clothed in these garments. From this holiness, the holiness extends on Shabbos to 2,000 amos. And beyond that, it is forbidden to walk outside the boundary, so as not to leave the boundary of holiness on Shabbos. For on Shabbos there is no refinement, for all the displacements are drawn at their root from the aspect of the aforementioned constrictions — that one must draw anew each time spiritual G-dliness into new constrictions. For because the original constrictions were corrupted through the sin of Adam HaRishon and of all the generations, one needs new constrictions each time. And for this reason, one needs roads and travel from place to place.
