And we find that the order of the levels in understanding a subject matter is as follows:
1. The aspect of Iyun (which is synonymous with Hisbonenus) which was explained above, which is to go over the matter and analyze it clearly (into all its parts) which is called Binah of Binah which is to analytically examine (the subject matter) totally into all its various separations and definitions of both the internal and external aspects of the topic.
And from this can come out the length (of Binah) to bring down the Hasogah (intellectual reach into the idea) with many enclothments until it is gross enough for the intellectual grasp of a baby as was explained before. But not the width with many different explanations to different sides (from different angles) etc.
2. And afterwards, from the aspect of Chochmah of Binah, to discover new things in one Hasogah as explained above (that is, to discover new facets or ways of looking into the topic but only into this topic and not another topic)
And this is what's called width and from this (power of Chochmah of Binah) comes the power of Binah of Binah to bring about the length.
3. But the amount of length and width of Chochmah and Binah Which are in Binah depends on the depth of the Musag (idea) which is called Kesser (Crown) of Binah. As we see in actuality that according to the depth thus will be the amount of width and length of any intellectual topic and this is enough for he who understands. (The amount of width and length in a very deep topic will be more than in a shallow topic.)
