Yesod

Foundation — generative organs

Yesod — the channel that gathers the upper sefirot and pours them into Malkhut. Associated with Joseph (the tzaddik) and with the generative organs of Adam Kadmon. The Zohar treats Yesod as the brit, the covenantal seal: what is upheld here flows into the world; what is broken here scatters the higher light.

Zohar I.59b (primary_canonical)

Zohar I.59b (Vilna folio pagination) presents Yesod as the covenantal foundation and the channel associated with the righteous one through which blessing reaches the receiving Shekhinah. This is the source basis for the generative/covenantal symbolism.
