בִּרְכַּת כֹּהֲנִים הוּא הַמְשָׁכַת הַמּוֹחִין
[Seen from a Kabbalistic perspective,] the Priestly Blessing elicits a manifestation of the Divine Intellect (mochin).
הַגְבָּהַת הַיָּדַיִם הוּא הַעֲלָאַת הַמִּדּוֹת
The raising of hands [by the kohanim, in blessing,] elevates the Divine “emotive attributes” (middos).
וּמְבָרְכִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁהֵם בְּנֵי מְלָכִים מַלְכוּת
The kohanim bless the Jewish people, who are “the sons of kings" [and thereby reflect the Sefirah of] Malchus.
הֲרֵי פַּרְצוּף שָׁלֵם שֶׁל עֶשֶׂר סְפִירוֹת
Collectively, this constitutes a complete partzuf, comprising all Ten Sefiros.
