We are emphasizing some nuances in the text.

The name Ban relates to malchus/the sphirah of royalty. The king is aloof. He is on a different plane. All is engrossed in his presence. A man in his home is a king. He owns it, by his presence. Malchus expresses itself as a presence, rather than as an idea or element.

From this malchus come all the details. All the furnishings of the home represent the presence of the owner. Not just his functionality.

Malchus has a spirit of yesh/being/power.

And because the sphirot came through malchus, there was breaking of the vessels...

In everything that exists there are 2 elements. Its existence and secondly why it exists.

For these sphirot of Ban, as they descend away from their source they become more and more emphatically themselves... self contained reality...

And this is how falling and death originated. The sense of original life is lost. Each thing stands for its own presence and becomes totally separate.
