Jewish Mysticism
Further on it is explained that [the crown] is called the angel of the Lord (mal’akh yhwh), and it is known that this refers to Malkhut. But this is problematic insofar as Malkhut is the garment (ha-levush) itself. The matter is, however, as it is explained in the Tiqqunim that Malkhut is beneath Yesod, and it is certainly lower than the Saddiq, “His footstool” (Ps. 99-5). Therefore, from her the garment for the righteous is made, for they are on the level of Yesod, and Malkhut is the garment for Yesod since she is below him and he is hidden within her, as is known. But she has another aspect- She ascends to become a crown on the head of the righteous one, for on this aspect she is above yesod, the fourth in relation to the three patriarchs. Just as she is then called the crown on the head of the righteous one, on the spiritual plane this aspect becomes a crown for the righteous. And this is [the import of the dictum] “the righteous are sitting with their crowns upon their heads.” This aspect [endows the attributes of] of rising (qimah) and standing (‘amidah) to Malkhut. Therefore it says “as the angel of the Lord stood by” (Zech. 3-5) in relation to the ‘Atarah.
