when it is [the] form for joining, and they established them at the Throne of Glory, each in its place, so that they would be around the throne of the honoured and awesome Name and engraved in it, so that from them would come all emanation and every power and action for all that God created and that came to be, in potential and in act: every supernal power and action, all the host of heaven and earth, by supernal power, by supernal decree, command, utterance, speech and callings, and every decree that comes from the power of the letters that are drawn, joined and engraved on the high and exalted throne. They are engraved around the throne called ʿAravot [ערבות], in which is everything, as it is written in Tractate Ḥagigah: "ʿAravot: there are the treasuries of righteousness and judgment, blessing, life and peace, [the dew] of the resurrection of the dead, and the powers of souls." It is called the throne for the Throne of His Glory, called Heaven [שמים], which receives from the Crown of Tiferet [תפארת]; therefore there are in it many treasuries of the souls of the righteous, and the sum of the ten Sefirot in three palaces, corresponding to the three divisions of the Sefirot, and the palace of angels in the Garden of Eden and the World to Come, and a sanctuary for the sanctuary, that is, in His palace and His treasury, as they are drawn there: Seraphim and holy Ḥayyot and holiness, and the letters around the throne engraved in the Dwelling [מעון] of His holiness, called by the name Heaven, which receives from the Crown. All this is wholly included in it as in the Crown, for it is a throne to the LORD, and from there [comes] every decree and form for all that God created to make. It is divided into three camps and palaces corresponding to the palace of the LORD, the holy palace in which is everything, called Maʿon [מעון], as it is said (Deut. 26:15): "Look down from Your holy dwelling, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel," for from there comes the blessing, and also every thing, for it is a throne, and the throne of the LORD. And these are the 22 supernal letters engraved on the Throne of Glory, and five doubled [final letters], a hint to the end of the last thousand of the Name, to give power and sense in speech and utterance. Thus they are 27 letters hidden around the throne, engraved, and from them two awesome powers were hidden, to give power and form to them all; and they are Yod [י] and Vav [ו]. They are two names for each one, in which is included the secret of the Sefirot and the paths and the Shemittot, and every exalted and hidden secret from them; and they are Esh [א"ש, fire] and Ruaḥ [רו"ח, wind/spirit], cleaving one to another, and from them every power and angel and supernal prince, and all to one power and another form included from all; and from them one awesome and supernal form from two letters, Yod [י] and Vav [ו], called Alef [א]; and it is first, giving power, form and joining to the letters, and in it is the secret of the Sefirot and the holinesses for the six directions, and in which is everything high and low, and the four doors of the world. And this vessel is called the secret of ten Sefirot and twenty-two awesome letters; they are the second secret of the 32 awesome and hidden paths in Wisdom; and in the tip of the Yod they are a nest [קן] of supernal and hidden days, called Halleluyah. And happy is the man who fears the LORD and guards his soul greatly [from] coming onto this path without very strong traditions in every matter and in each and every letter, in its form and its awesome powers. And if the Name lets him attain them in an upright way and by good tradition, then he will be called an angel of the living God, and his intellect and soul will cleave to the spirit of the living God, and his soul will be pure and very holy, and then he will know the secret of the LORD, the honoured Explicit Name, in its secrets and all its actions and powers; and of him it is said (Ps. 91:14–16): "Because he desired Me I will deliver him; I will set him on high because he knew My Name. He will call Me and I will answer him; I am with him in distress; I will rescue him and honour him. With length of days I will satisfy him and show him My salvation." Blessed be the LORD forever, Amen and Amen. HAGAMRAH [הגמ"רה] [unclear: heading; perhaps an abbreviation] [In large type:] God [אלהים] "looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there is any that understands, that seeks God" (Ps. 14:2). "But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me" (Jer. 9:23). And Vi-yhirah [ויהירה] [unclear] the might of the matter upon the matter: "The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by the arm of His strength" (Isa. 62:8); and He said "and by His Name you shall swear" (Deut. 6:13). And Vi-yhirah [ויהירה] [unclear] its secret, of this matter, up to the verse in which the matter was revealed. And so the great Rabbi used to supplicate, and that is in his saying: אאא האע אגו יהו יעב מוב [Names; see scan]. "You are great and Your Name is great in might" (Jer. 10:6). "Your right hand, O LORD, glorious in power; Your right hand, O LORD, dashes the enemy" (Exod. 15:6). "The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD does valiantly" (Ps. 118:16). "You have an arm with might; strong is Your hand and high Your right hand" (Ps. 89:14). And that is in his saying "glorious in holiness" (Exod. 15:11): the Name, His upper chambers in the supernal degrees, in his saying "God, high and exalted, who dwells forever" (cf. Isa. 57:15); all His wonders which He made wondrous, in his saying "He is high and wondrous," in a great wonder, great, great and awesome, exalted and lifted up in the secret of great holinesses he said; and the secret was revealed, the secret of might, in his saying (Amos 3:7): "For the LORD God will do nothing unless He has revealed His secret to His servants the prophets." And there the awesome and hidden secret was revealed, which is awesome among the mighty [cf. Exod. 15:11] and exalted alone in the secret of holy ones, Seraphim and Ofanim, and Ofanim, holy angels and all the host of the heights stand in dread and fear, and earth and heaven quake. They heard there the Name of the LORD of Hosts, who sits upon the Cherubim; and to whom they saw the glory of the living God; and there [are] mightinesses, in his saying "I was not known to them" (Exod. 6:3). Indeed, there the secret of the mightinesses of His Name was revealed to a faithful and humble man, in his saying (Num. 12:7) "he is faithful in all My house." And this secret will be that which is said (Exod. 17:16): "For a hand is upon the throne of Yah [כס יה]," in his saying (Isa. 66:1–2): "Where is the house that you would build for Me, and where is the place of My rest? For all these My hand has made." For "in Yah the LORD is an everlasting rock" (Isa. 26:4). "And I will turn My hand upon you" (Isa. 1:25). Further it is written: "the hand of the LORD was upon me" (Ezek. 37:1). Halleluyah, for the Name of the LORD is called upon you, and there is no need to lengthen on the depths of the depths. That is the great deep [תהום], in his saying "a great deep" (Ps. 36:7). And whoever has received [tradition] in the form of the Alef-Bet will then understand a great and awesome secret. For the great and awesome sages, the early Geonim, warned not to reveal this secret; it is the essential Name [שם העצם]; and it is written (Song 4:12): "A garden locked, a sealed spring." [In large type:] "And wisdom, where shall it be found?" (Job 28:12). "And where is the place of understanding [בינה]?" For the one and the second: the one is Yah [יה] and the second is Vah [וה]; that is YHVH [יהוה]. And where is the place of the holy Name? And this is not without that, in his saying (Eccl. 7:14): "God has made the one corresponding to the other"; but this is the potential and that is the act, and it went out from potential to act; and that is his saying (Jer. 33:25): "If not My covenant day and night, the ordinances of heaven and earth I had not appointed," for it is the action that does not change, for all goes to one place, for "the Name of the LORD I will call" (Deut. 32:3). And Vi-yhirah [ויהירה] [unclear] the secret of the matter, that His Godhood and His unity and His existence [are] as in the secret of the book [catchword: באמת "in truth"]

in truth. And the might of His Name is divided into the parts of His mightinesses, which rise in degrees: as above, so below. And that is his saying (Exod. 25:8): "And let them make Me a sanctuary," aligned corresponding to it, and that is the Sanctuary above, in his saying "the LORD is high and exalted"; and corresponding to it the hooks of the pillars [ווי העמודים], which are the foundation of the building, like "the stones of void [בהו]" (Isa. 34:11); for upon the foundation they build the building, and on this the hooks of the pillars are in everything; that is to say, "for one higher than the high" (Eccl. 5:7). This is the citadel of the Sanctuary above; it is the inner holy [place]. And it went out from potential to the act below, in order to perform the perfect, upright and whole actions, whose secret is hidden and sealed: they are the offerings, burnt-offerings, peace-offerings and sacrifices, in order to atone for a man's lower deed; and then the Will returns to be appeased, and the act which he did, and the act and the power that gave them; "and the spirit returns to God who gave it" (Eccl. 12:7), and all will be to one place: "On that day the LORD will be One and His Name One" (Zech. 14:9). And in this is found the Name of four letters complete in the Name Yah [י"ה] in its fullness; as Vah [ו"ה] by its count, with Vah it comes to 21; He [ה] is added to it: HVH [הוה], a complete name. For the power is Yah [י"ה], and it is written (Isa. 26:4) "for in Yah the LORD is an everlasting rock"; and the He [ה] hints at the two He's [הה"ת], which are Binah, Gevurah, Malkhut: three, for the three last attributes. And the act is Vah [ו"ה]; it is written "If not My covenant" (Jer. 33:25); for this is not without that, as written above; for on this it is called essence [עצם], for each letter [is] by itself, as He [ה] times Yah [י"ה]... [unclear] the He [ה] stands; and so every letter is exchanged, He for He, for the creation of the lower beings by He [cf. "בהבראם" Gen. 2:4], "when they were created" [בהבראם] it stands in the might of its Creator, blessed be He. And it would be fitting to say that the essential Name is YHV [יה"ו], and it is already explained in another place, in the secret of ten letters, and they are ten Sefirot. And it is called Explicit [מפורש] because it rolls to seventy-two, and this is explicit as it is written (Gen. 49:18): "For Your salvation I hope, O LORD"; and David said "For Your salvation I hope, O LORD," and He said (Ps. 91:16) "With length of days I will satisfy him and show him": Y, YH, YHV, YHVH [י יה יהו יהוה]. And from there go out seventy men, the elders, of whom all the congregation are all holy, and among them YHVH [יהוה]; each one in his greatness and his might, "each man his sword upon his thigh" (Song 3:8); and they go in the light of the first, the King, after the form mentioned below, to bring to light His beauty and praise; and there their holiness [is] in the form of their King over them, as written (Mic. 2:13): "And their King passed before them, and the LORD at their head." And behold, the first is called: [Diagram: four boxes, reading מפ | רש over יה | וה, i.e. "Mefo-rash" and "Yah / Vah"; see scan.] VHV [והו] — its form [ציורו] VDYV [ודיו] points to YHVH [יהו"ה] and to the hooks [וו"י] of the pillars, to the hooks at their head.

LLH [ללה] — its form 26, 26, DY [כ"ו כ"ו ד"י] points to the four winds of the world, which were created by ten utterances with their power in [their] beings. AKhA [אכא] — behold, this Name in the Holy of Holies is the seventh day which is to come, and it is sealed in AKhA [אכ"א], in his saying (Lev. 23:27) "Akh [אך] on the tenth of this month": it is not so, but AKhA [אכ"א], which is rest and atonement for the remembered and pure souls who are to come in the World to Come; and its form in two essential Names, and with the letter the Name in its power. KHT [כהת] — its form KDYRV [כדיר"ו] points to the thirty-two paths of Wisdom and the two Tablets of the Covenant etc. which are in heaven; and below it recalls the secret of the Tav [ת]. HZY [הזי] — its form DYRY [דיר"י] points [to] 26 and the last Alef, and in its sum Ram [רם, high] points to "high and exalted." ALD [אלד] — its form 26, KVR [כו"ר] points to two Being-names and the four Ofanim of the Chariot. LAV [לאו] — its form 26, KVV [כו"ו] points: the one, the Name that rules in the household above, and the second in the household of the sanctuary, corresponding to the Sanctuary; and they are the six ends of the world. HHʿ [ההע] — its form points DY DYʿ [די די"ע]; it points to the essential and Explicit Name, the Name of 72 engraved on the forehead of Aaron the High Priest when he came into the Holy of Holies. YZL [יזל] — its form YZKV [יזכ"ו] points that the Name of the LORD is exalted over ten spheres and rules in seven firmaments, in which are His throne and His host. MBH [מבה] — its form KRVDY [כרודי]; he is the great prince, for the LORD called him "my beloved" [דודי], in his saying (Song 5:10) "My beloved is white and ruddy, preeminent," for he sits on the holy Chariot, and he is YHVH [יהו"ה] with two letters. HRY [הרי] — its form DYRY [דיר"י], which by lacking the Ṭet [ט] is sanctified in ten on Sabbaths, in the joining of the letters above; and by this He alone is exalted in One [באחר] [sic? for באחד]. HQM [הקם] — its form DYKVM [דיכו"ם] points [to] the essential and Explicit [Name], and the twelve stones that were engraved in holiness [with] these Names. LAV [לאו] — its form KVKVV [כוכו"ו] points to two Being-names and the six wings which sanctify Him always. KLY [כלי] — its form KKVY [ככו"י] points [to] KVKV [כוכ"ו], and the Dalet to the four doors of the world. LVV [לוו] — its form points KVVV [כוו"ו], engraved in the 12 constellations of Israel, "the tribes of Yah, a testimony to Israel" (Ps. 122:4). PHL [פהל] — its form points to two Being-names and the name of Ehyeh [אהי"ה] with three letters themselves. [catchword: נלך]

NLKh [נלך] — its form points [to] the essence and seventy Names, which are those engraved below, in his saying (Exod. 15:2) "This is my God." VYY [ויי] — it is the head of the sevens of Ehyeh [אהי"ה], for they are the power of the prophecy of Moses and of Isaiah, as they said: this "Give ear" (Deut. 32:1) and this "The vision" (Isa. 1:1), which by the Name AKhA [אכ"א] are engraved; and they testify to three holinesses on which the world stands: one in the Ten Words, one in the ten Sefirot, and one in the ten wonders of Egypt; and they are in the secret of Ehyeh. MLH [מלה] — its form 26, 26, DY [כ"ו כ"ו ד"י]: the Name rules over the ten above, and the Name rules over the seven below; it is the Name that rolls them in the power of greatness.

NTH [נתה] — its form NḤRY [נחר"י]: the form of the Nun [נ] has not been mentioned until now, for it is last of them all and praised; and the foot will be three, on the sole of the foot of righteousness, for it is the soul [sustaining] the world in loving-kindness, which is the foundation of the world, with its head below, corresponding to the flow of the world; for it is the sphere that guides the lower world in loving-kindness and righteousness, and the reckoning [is] by lacking Ḥet and Ṭet [חט'], aligned and reversed corresponding to the Alef; for the Alef is in holiness and the Tav [is] the pillar of the sanctuary below, and it is the holy letter that guides the whole world in judgment, as the verse says (Ps. 103:17): "But the loving-kindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear Him, and His righteousness," etc. And it points that it is the essential Name; but itself points to the Name of 72 in its great might. HAA [האא] — its form DY, 26, 26 [ד"י כ"ו כ"ו], for the righteous man supplicates in truth: "The LORD, the LORD, God merciful" (Exod. 34:6), in thirteen attributes, and all of them in one power. YRT [ירת] — its form YRDV [ירד"ו] points [to] the knowledge [הרעת, sic? for הדעת] written above the Tav, and with the Yod it draws down, which is the Name of Ehyeh.

RYY [ריי] — by the first count; and it is a Name of twenty-two letters, of which Ehyeh and the LORD are at their head, which is at the head of the seventh. AVM [אום] — its form 26, 26 [כ"ו כ"ו]: two Being-names and the pillar between them; it is the pillar which is the light of the world and its foundation [ויסורו, sic? for ויסודו]; and it is "the righteous one, the foundation of the world" (Prov. 10:25). LKB [לכב] — its form KVKVR [כוכ"ור] points to two Being-names and points to the Chariot of the Fathers. VShR [ושר] — its form VVYR [ווי"ר]: behold, [it is] RV [רו] and three Yods; they correspond to the three heads of the Tav [ת'] of the Fathers, and the bow below is the bow of Noah, who made a covenant with the earth for the future, to fulfil "To your seed I will give this land" (Gen. 12:7); and so it is also written to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. YḤV [יחו] — its form YRYV [ירי"ו]: an angel whose name is YHV [יה"ו], Tarshish, the forms of gold in flame, as it is written (Song 5:14) "His hands are rods of gold set with beryl [Tarshish]"; and it also points that it is the Name of twenty-six. LHḤ [להח] — its form 26, DY, DV [כ"ו ד"י ד"ו]: it is the Active Intellect whose name is Meṭaṭron [מטטר"ון], whom the Name called "my beloved went down to his garden" (Song 6:2), the lower one; and with the 20 [הכ'] letters it points also [to] two Being-names. KVQ [כוק] — its form 26, 26 points to the essential Name, which is spelled out in seventy Names. MND [מנד] — its form BND [בנ"ד] hints at the fifty of the Jubilee: if you take one from the fifty and put it in the middle of the R [ר], it will be H [ה], and 49 [מט'] remain; they are the gates of Binah. "And You made him a little less than God" (Ps. 8:6), from being five tens, they are holinesses of fire; and it points to the essential Name and to the Name AKhA [אכ"א], and thirty-two paths of Wisdom. ANY [אני] — its form KNY [כנ"י] points to the Name Adonai [ארנ"י, sic for אדנ"י], with the Dalet of DNY [ד"ני] with the Alef of ANY [אנ"י]: it is Adonai [אדנ"י], as explained in its place. ḤʿM [חעם] — its form DVYKV [דויכ"ו], and it is a Name of 70 that was engraved in the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, apart [from] that His Name alone was exalted, which was from between the two Cherubim. RHʿ [רהע] — its form RDYʿ [רדי"ע]: Adonai [ארנ"י] who sits on the Chariot above, for "all the congregation are all holy, and the LORD is among them" (Num. 16:3), Adonai, and the four of the Chariot; and it is exactly 70 with seventy; and Adonai is everything united, for Adonai [is] over seventy nations and over seventy degrees, riding; and He is the Chariot, and it is a secret [סו"ד]. YYZ [ייז] — its form 26 and A [א'], and the Name, and also 22 letters; and the He [ה] is a hint to the five attributes of the Name in the 22 letters engraved in the Torah. HHH [ההה] — its form D, DYDY [ד' דיד"י] points to the essence of the Name in unity, in a great secret; for they are three halves for thirteen [sic? עשרון], for they are three attributes; and so they are half the Name, for with the half of one the world is completed, etc.; the matter is found so too for one who understands. But its form is "beloved of the Name" [ידיד], which is the riddle that has six faces in secret; and on this its form is YHVH [יהו"ה] and Vav, [six] faces. MYKh [מיך] — its form KVYKh [כוי"ך] points with them [to] three sealed tens, on which the LORD wrote and sanctified them, to sanctify the Throne of His Glory, for they are the foundation of the world, as explained below. VVL [וול] — its form VKV [וכ"ו] points that the LORD dwelt on the hooks [וו"י] of the pillars and rules in 12 ʿAravot; and this is what he said (Ps. 22:4): "enthroned on the praises of Israel." YLH [ילה] — its form YKVDY [יכוד"י] points to two Being-names with HYL [הי"ל] essence, and points [to] five attributes of the Name; but the truth is the form, as it is said (Isa. 66:2): "and all these My hand [יד"י] [made]." SAL [סאל] — its form BV, 26, 26 [ב"ו כ"ו כ"ו]; it is what is written (Jer. 7:4): "the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD," three times: the first, Jerusalem, "mountains around her, and the LORD" (Ps. 125:2) [catchword: והשני "and the second"]

[Signature: כט] and the second, "and their King passed before them, and the LORD at their head" (Mic. 2:13); and the third, "for to the LORD" [unclear]. And they are three palaces engraved on the throne of the LORD, and they are the Alef-Bet; and this Name has a great secret, in his saying (Exod. 34:6) "The LORD, the LORD, God merciful and gracious," three times together. ʿRY [ערי] — its form NGRY [נגר"י]: for there are 70 degrees in the power of the spheres; and it points that the Name of 72 is in these degrees, which are in the seven, and the power of ten spheres; and it is in his saying (Ps. 8:4): "When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers." ʿShL [עשל] — its form NGYVVL [נגיוו"ל] comes to recall the covenant of Noah, for the sake of the three Fathers that are in it, not to destroy the world any more; and it is written (Lev. 26:42) "And I will remember My covenant," one after another, up to the covenant of the bow; and that is "and the land I will remember"; and it is as we mentioned in the form of the Name, and its count is 26 and 72 Names, and after [them] His Name rides over all. MYH [מיה] — its form KVYDY [כויד"י]: what is written (Isa. 44:6) "I am the first and I am the last"; and it begins "and their King passed before them, and the LORD at their head," and His Name YHVH, as explained in the secret of the form, in his saying (Exod. 6:3) "but by My Name the LORD I was not known to them," for it was not known to any creature among the first creatures; and its count is 26 and 26. VHV [והו] — its form VDYV [ודי"ו]: in the first as in the last; and further "I am the first and I am the last"; it is what is said (Deut. 32:39) "See now that I, I am He, and there is no god with Me" — [twice] [פעמים]: this is that it began VHV [וה"ו] and sealed MYH [מי"ה], and began VHV and seals Mem [מ"ם]; for the secret of the first is as the last, and there is no need to lengthen on its deep secrets. DNY [דני] — its form is itself, and it is a Name, the Name of the LORD; and it is from the mothers [אמות], and on this the Alef is lacking from it, as it is lacking from YHVH to be mothers; and it is the root of the essence for every holiness [קרושת, sic for קדושת] of the Name, which are mothers, on a great secret; and it points to six wings, which are the ends of the world; and on this three are lacking and three remain, in order to bring the matter into the root of the form; and so it is found: two Being-names and two Vavs, for six branches and six cups, and they are divided among them, in order to give them light from the radiance of the Shekhinah toward the face of the Menorah above, [that] they may give light (cf. Num. 8:2). HḤSh [החש] — its form DYDVSh [דידוש]: it is the Name of Shaddai, for the Shin in its form points that He appeared to the three Fathers; and that is his saying (Exod. 6:3) "And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as El Shaddai," for the light of the Active Intellect which He planted in them, in saying (Zech. 4:2) "seven, and seven pipes to the lamps which are on its top," for He set it upon ten. ʿMM [עמם] — its form GN, 26, 26 [ג"נ כ"ו כ"ו] points to two Being-names, and the ʿAyin [ע] to the 70 ministering angels who sanctify Him every day and bow before His glory; and it is written (Ps. 97:7) "All gods bow down to Him"; for they are seven classes who sit first in the kingdom, and the form points to the eighth sphere, for there are the powers of the souls of the stars, which receive decree from these princes. NNA [ננא] — its form NGKV [נג"כו] points [to] the Nuns, on what is written "the fiftieth year, a year of holiness" [cf. Lev. 25:10–12]; and they are twenty holinesses, and also the Alef, a holy firstborn; behold, three holinesses come to one holiness; for they are the hundred blessings which Israel pray every day, and the Name, blessed be He, is a guardian over them; and it is written (Deut. 10:12) "What [מה] does the LORD your God ask of you," etc.; do not read "what" [מה] but "hundred" [מאה]; and there is a guardian over them: "and their King passed before them, and the LORD at their head." NYT [נית] — its form NYRV [ניר"ו] comes to recall the mightinesses of the Holy One, blessed be He, in the power of the Tav [ת]; and when God created the world and stood it on one pillar, as he said (Prov. 10:25) "and the righteous one is the foundation of the world"; for the whole world was in darkness until the pillar arose to stand the world in the light of the Tav; for it is the Name of 26, as we explained above; for it is the light of the great sun; for we did not wish to lengthen there; for the light of the sun is the light of the Foundation; this is the Tav, it is 26; and the remainder [is] in his saying (Song 3:7) "sixty mighty men around it," to the Tav, which is the holy Name that goes out from the known verse, which is a blessing to Israel. MBH [מבה] — its form KVDVDY [כודו"די]: two Being-names with two letters; and it is the name of Meṭaṭron [מטטר"ון], for the Name called him "my beloved," in his saying "my beloved went down to his garden" (Song 6:2), to the small world. PVY [פוי] — its form KVYY [כו"יי]: it is the Name whose Name was sanctified in the Ten Words, and He showed His might in the ten plagues which He brought upon the Egyptians. NMM [נמם] — its form NKVKV [נכוכ"ו]: they are two Names of unity, sanctified upon the supernal holiness; and it is as he said "the fiftieth year, a year of holiness," for in the holy time [it is] holy, for in holiness His Name is sanctified. YYL [ייל] — its form YYKV [יי"כו]: His Name, which is sanctified, establishes the Throne of His Glory on ten spheres, and the abundance of His greatness in ten utterances, in his saying (Isa. 66:1) "Heaven is My throne and the earth My footstool"; and it is written (Song 7:1) "like the dance of two camps." HRḤ [הרח] — its form DYRDV [דירד"ו], the Resh lacking; and it is the Name of 26, as he said (Job 23:13) "But He is One, and who can turn Him?" MṢR [מצר] — its form 26, YNR [ינ"ר], and Adonai [ארני, sic for אדני] with the three letters of the Name; and that is his saying (Hab. 3:19) "YHVH Adonai is my strength, and He makes [my feet]." VMB [ומב] — its form 26, VDV [וד"ו]: Ḥam [חם], the four foundations explained for the 12 constellations; they are the power of the hours that rule by day and by night. YHH [יהה] — its form YDYDY [ידיד"י], blessed be He, and His holiness and His might in Yah [י"ה] from His Name, to make known by the true He [ה] without any doubt that He is the He in truth; and clear it is, on account of the deep form explained here, and after it Dalet [ד']; for one is His truth and His oneness; there is no thinking [להרהר] [about it], and say "enough"; the healing [הרפא] [unclear], and there is no need to lengthen further. ʿNV [ענו] — its form NGNV [נגנ"ו], 26, 26: always they sanctify Him and magnify Him in one attribute of mercy, over 70 tongues and the 24 [כ"ד] corners of the world [unclear], the confusion in mercy; and it is written (Gen. 11:5–9) "And the LORD came down," "for there the LORD confused."

MḤY [מחי] — its form KVRV [כור"ו], YM [י"ם], two [and] two holinesses with which they sanctify Him always; they are the secret of the Cherubim. And the truth: these 20 holinesses are two classes: one class, Israel below, and the second class, guardians [שמורת]; they are the multitudes above, who sanctify Him always. DMB [דמב] — its form DKVRV [דכור"ו], 26, DVR [דו"ר]: "seven, and seven pipes for the lamps" (Zech. 4:2) that give light before Him. MNQ [מנק] — its form KVG [כו"ג], 26; and it points to the 50 [sic? הנ'] hosts, BNG [בנ"ג], that the ministering angels who go always on the mission of the Name, whose missions [are] the 22 foundations, their power and their essence, around the Glory, guarding the Glory, the Throne; and they are on the mission of their Creator, as he said (Ps. 104:4): "Who makes His angels winds, His ministers a flaming fire"; and of them [are] those guarding "the flame of the turning sword" (Gen. 3:24) within the Garden. And the second points to the Name Ehyeh [אהי"ה] with the letter of its explicit form, and the essence which is over all. AYʿ [איע] — its form KVYNG [כוינ"ג] points to the two awesome Names with which the righteous man supplicated, in his saying (Deut. 3:24) "O LORD God, You have begun," etc., with two letters. ḤBV [חבו] — its form [—] upon it he opened and said: "You [are] God, great, Adonai [אד"נ], holy and awesome is His Name forever," for He is forever, for He is the essence alone, [in] 50 [בנ'] [unclear]; blessed be His Name. RAH [ראה] — its form KBVRY [כבורי]: the truth, for with this Name the prophet mentioned the Names of His might and His essence, to call their power upon the child born: "and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isa. 9:5); and the essential Name among them, to show that by their power [comes] from the Might, and the Might itself [is] their power; and they are those called "see" [ראו], for its prince of Might in eight [בח'] [unclear]; they are included in thought, the eighth, which appeared before; and it points that they are the ones sitting on one holiness, which is the Name of Might that is among them. YBM [יבם] — its form DYY [ד"יי]: the Name itself points that He rides on ten spheres, as he said (Ps. 68:5) "Extol Him who rides on the ʿAravot"; but its form points that the Name of four letters is sanctified and magnified as the three tens mentioned above in the number of Ehyeh, in his saying (Exod. 3:14) "Ehyeh asher Ehyeh": three; they are Ehyeh for the Ten Words of the Torah, Ehyeh for the ten Sefirot, Ehyeh for the ten plagues in Egypt. And the masters of the Kabbalah mention Him by the Name Ehyeh, which shakes the entire world: ten of the Torah with ten utterances and with ten of Egypt, and the saying [והאמרת] [unclear]; on it everything hangs, "and the earth shook and trembled" (Ps. 18:8); and it is as he said (Ezek. 3:12) "and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing"; and remember it very strongly [וזכר חוקה, sic? חזקה]; and there are many secrets in it, because they are found in the number of the Name AKhA [אכ"א], in which is the secret of the sevens and the Sefirot with the seventh thousand; and 50; "and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day" (Isa. 2:11). And further it is written (Exod. 3:15): "This is My Name forever and this My memorial to all generations," for with it He sealed the mightinesses and all the holinesses and all the commandments of the Torah and all the powers that are [הוה] in them, as the sages of the Kabbalah explained: Was [היה], Is [הו"ה] and Will Be [יהיה]. "Was" is in the secret sealed in the Ten Words; "Is" is sealed for the ten utterances; and "Will Be" is sealed in the ten plagues, for ever and ever. And on this the sages commanded a complete commandment to mention the Exodus from Egypt by day and by night, as it is said (Deut. 16:3): "that you may remember the day of your going out," and they expounded [it] of the Messiah, up to the World to Come. And there is no more need to lengthen, for it is a secret hidden and sealed for the masters of the Kabbalah, for it is hinted from "Give ear" [Deut. 32] and from "The vision" [Isa. 1], etc. HYY [היי] — its form DYY [ד"יי] points to three holinesses, each one of ten, and four over all. MVM [מום] — its form KVVKV [כווכ"ו] points that He holds His unity and His greatness as His glory in truth, for He sealed with two essential Names into one; for He is first and He is last; and further, "for I, I am He, and there is no god with Me" (Deut. 32:39): one; and between them HVV [הוו], a hint to the six ends in which is everything, and they are east, west, north, south, above and below; a hint to the six wings which sanctify Him always, which are the six ends of the world, as it is said (Ps. 148:11): "Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth"; "and Your righteousness, O God, [reaches] to the height" (Ps. 71:19); "Your judgments are a great deep" (Ps. 36:7). Already completed is the explanation of the joining and the form of the number of reckoning in the holiness of the Kabbalah received from the mouth of the Might by Moses from Sinai, and handed to Joshua, and Joshua to the elders, and the elders to the prophets, and the prophets handed it to the men of the Great Assembly; for they were masters of wisdom, masters of tradition, masters of fear, masters of honour and masters of understanding; and of them it is said (Ps. 25:14): "The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him." And they hid it within the secret [part] of the Talmud, for all is a tradition to Moses from Sinai. And it is not handed to scoffers, nor to empty men, nor to youths, but only to a man understanding and wise. "And whoever has not filled his belly with all food [i.e. learning] shall not enter the Orchard [פרדס]"; and it is handed to a man understanding and wise, fearing God and turning from evil, so that he may direct his knowledge and his whole intellect, and open his eye and his heart in uprightness, and look into the light of life, and look a little at the ways of the Name, blessed and exalted be He, and at His awesome and great powers; "for what god is there in heaven or on earth that can do according to Your works and according to Your mighty acts?" (Deut. 3:24). And then he will understand a little of the supernal light which shines in the eyes of the understanding; and it is written (Ps. 112:4): "Light shines in darkness for the upright"; and it recalls the pure, good intellect, and they settle it in the supernal light, of which it is said (Prov. 6:23): "For the commandment is a lamp and the Torah is light." And if they [sic? ישגיחו הי'] take care to set his intellect on an upright way, to understand the form and joining of the holy number, and the trumpet-sound [ותרועת] [unclear], and the honoured and awesome Name explained in holiness and purity: happy is he, and happy is she who bore him, if he always intends it for the sake of Heaven; then his light and his intellect will attain on high with the light of the angels, for "he is an angel of the LORD of Hosts" (Mal. 2:7). For this form is engraved on the throne for the high throne; they are the twenty-two letters of the Torah, which are the secret of Ehyeh, and they are light for every creature: the angels above and Israel [catchword: מטה "below"]

English AI-assisted draft translation · not a scholarly edition

[Signature: ח א] below; one letter is engraved in them; and it is written (Deut. 6:8) "and they shall be frontlets between your eyes"; and they are engraved in the three palaces of the throne, and the form: this is the form of the Alef-Bet which Moses received from the mouth of the Might; as it is written, so it is engraved on the throne. And He chose two letters, YH [י"ה] and HY [ה"י], and the power of the male [הוכר, sic? הזכר] in Yod [יו"ד] and HVV [ה"וו]; for they are two essential holy Names, if you search them out, and each one alone [לבר, sic for לבד] is an essence to itself. And the power of the second is in Yod and Vav, for the Name chose them according to the power of their might, and strengthened their greatness in them alone; for in them is the likeness of the Might: for the first is fire and the second is wind/spirit, as it is written "by fire, He is God" (cf. 1 Kgs. 18:24) and "the spirit of God" (Gen. 1:2); and the angels around the Throne of Glory are fire and wind, as it is said (Ps. 104:4): "Who makes His angels winds, His ministers fire"; and they are two letters, in might resembling their Creator, to show "the power of His works He declared to His people, to give them the inheritance of the nations" (Ps. 111:6); for their might is in them alone and their power is their own, and they receive neither form nor power nor greatness, and they do not move and do not stir from their place; but from their power a holy form was joined: "the king's daughter within" (Ps. 45:14), with the great and mighty King, holy, glorious, unique to His people, giving power and greatness and a holy form to all His people who come after Him; and His Name is as the Name of his Creator, and also its power resembles its Creator, that is to say, that He feeds and sustains and guides in the attribute of mercy; and they are clear [צלולה] [unclear] to be His alone, the work of His hands; and they crown them, sanctify them [מקרישין, sic], make them king, and bow down to them. And by the power of their might Moses supplicated in those days when it became known to him, and asked mercy from before the Might; and so he supplicated and said (Exod. 34:6): "The LORD, the LORD, God merciful and gracious," corresponding to the six wings which sanctify Him always, for they fear; and he supplicated so before [Him] corresponding to the holinesses, for two in place of two; and it is a hint to include the ten Sefirot which David mentioned, who understood the hint of the matter and its secret: "Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the might" (1 Chr. 29:11), and they are, in sum, ten, as the Kabbalists explained them in the great secret; for they are the words corresponding to the five which Moses mentioned, for these and those are six, in the sum of ten; as Moses supplicated, "O LORD God" (Deut. 3:24), "The LORD, the LORD, God"; and this corresponds to the secret of the holinesses, three; for three to six are as two to four; and prepare this secret: "for in Yah the LORD is an everlasting rock" (Isa. 26:4); and the three, which are the secret of the three Mothers explained on the secret of ten Sefirot for the twenty-two letters of the Torah; and all of them are under their King, joined each to its shape and its form; and they are the 22 letters; and they are those who eat at the King's table, receiving form, each one to its form and its shape according to its degree, and from their radiance to the radiance of their King; and it is said (Mic. 2:13): "and their King passed before them, and the LORD at their head," as His name is as the Name of his Master, as mentioned above. And from their form the power of the essential Name was explained, and the power of a Name from the holy Names, and from the Explicit Name, which are called the Name of 72; it is the Explicit Name; it is the power of the essential Name, explicit [and] essence; for all goes to one place, and all is one thing; and in Him we have trusted, and on His mercies we lean, and in His salvation our heart shall rejoice and our soul exult; and we will serve Him with a whole heart and a willing soul; in dread and in awe we will exult and rejoice; and may He forgive our iniquities and our sins, as it is written (Num. 14:20): "And the LORD said, I have forgiven," etc. And He will return, return our captivity and have mercy on us, as it is written (Exod. 33:19): "and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy"; for He is a merciful and gracious King, and abounding to do good. Blessed be the LORD forever, Amen and Amen. THE OPERATIONS [הפעולות] [In large type:] ABA [אבא, "I will come"] "with the mighty acts of the LORD God; I will mention Your righteousness, Yours alone" (Ps. 71:16). "O God, Your way is in holiness; who is a great god like God?" (Ps. 77:14). "O God, You have taught me from my youth, and until now I declare Your wonders" (Ps. 71:17). "Gird up your loins like a man" (Job 38:3). "My son, if your heart is wise, my heart shall rejoice" (Prov. 23:15). "Who is wise, and he shall understand these things, [prudent and he shall know them]" (Hos. 14:10). And now, my son, the wise one: I will chasten you as a man chastens his son (Deut. 8:5), and I will instruct you in the way you shall go (Ps. 32:8). "For behold, darkness shall cover the earth and thick darkness the peoples, but upon you the LORD will shine" (Isa. 60:2). And now, my son, the wise one: "You shall be wholehearted with the LORD your God" (Deut. 18:13); and open your eyes; remove all foreskin from your heart, and let all your thoughts be handed into your hand; and "at all times let your garments be white" (Eccl. 9:8); and "put off your shoes from your feet" (Exod. 3:5), for the place of God is your coming in; and "you shall stand outside until the man who lends to you comes" (cf. Deut. 24:11); and you shall seek and search all your palace, lest [fire] consume "the stacked grain or the standing grain or the field" (Exod. 22:5); "and you shall make a parapet for your roof, [that you bring not blood upon your house] if anyone fall" (Deut. 22:8) from it beside you. And the man shall be the holy one whom He chooses from among your people, from the priests with your Levites, for "the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes" (Deut. 18:5), to seek and search in all your desires; and he shall offer your offerings, and "a stranger shall not eat" (Exod. 29:33), and his heart shall not turn aside, but with all his soul and his heart; "and the living will lay it to his heart" (Eccl. 7:2). And now, my son, the wise one, nourished [הזן] [unclear] and the world: fear God and turn from evil; see and understand, and set your heart toward God in heaven; for "for all these things God will bring you into judgment" (Eccl. 11:9). And whether you condemn me or hold me guilty in these my words, there your thoughts shall rest; and the high priest among your brethren and among your people, who offers your offerings, or the Levite who accompanies you, shall pluck [ותלש] [unclear]; and on the Name let your heart lean (cf. Gen. 18:5); "and your life shall hang" (Deut. 28:66) on your dwellings. But if you turn to see and to look at your young men and your prophets and all His holy ones in your hands, "and the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God" (Deut. 26:4). And now, my son, the wise and the whole: "The end of the matter, all having been heard: fear God and keep His commandments" (Eccl. 12:13). And I will explain to you the tradition in the explanation of the honoured and awesome Name, explained in its powers and its wondrous and mighty secrets, as our holy Rabbi and Rabbi Ishmael in their generation used to make use of it, and of the secret of the reckoning of the letters, and the power, and the form, and the operation from them; and all at appointed times and in hours and at known seasons. And if you are pure and upright (Job 8:6), and you understand my words with wisdom, and hide them in a spring, and write them on the tablet of your clean heart (Prov. 3:3) and in your pure intellect, for "it is the glory of God to conceal a thing" (Prov. 25:2), etc. And know for yourself in these matters that the exchange [החלוף] is a wisdom and a power by itself, and the reversal [ההפוך] is a wisdom and a power by itself, and the reckoning [החשבון] is a wisdom and a power by itself; and all of them are powers of wondrous, mighty and awesome form, if the man of understanding comes in purity of heart, fine, upright and whole, in praises, in song, in melody, in victories [בניצות] [unclear], and in the joy of his heart and in the study of his intellect, to look into them, on the first first and on the last last, to ascend without a ladder and without steps; "and if the faller falls, who will raise him?" [cf. Deut. 22:8; Amos 5:2]. [Bottom margin: "8 1 א" in a different type or hand; see scan.] [catchword: ועתה "And now"]

[In large type:] And now, listen to me, my son, the wise one, and I will instruct you how you will go up and how you will come into their secret, and how you will find their power and their operation; and open your light [sic? ופתח אורך]. And this is what you shall do with them: if you take their beginning you will find their end; and so understand greatly, and search and seek out the three verses, their going out and their coming in, in the plain sense; and further search them in the hidden things; and further search the words, and search all the letters, each one by itself; and further search their exchanges, their constructions, and their joining, their form and their reckoning, and their powers in the name of their holiness [קרושתם, sic], and what each and every one of them points to; and afterwards you will search into their operations, and I will explain them to you alone, only that you be whole with your heart in the things written above. And I say to you that you already know what is written (Exod. 14:19–21): "And the angel of God moved... and the pillar of cloud moved," for they are supernal powers, strong and awesome; "and the camp of the children of Israel" between them; for they are the power of God to separate between them, and they honour [מכבבין, sic?] Him; for the hint of the three verses in this: they are wholly mighty power, and it is also the act; "and the east wind" (Exod. 14:21) is also the power of Might, the hardest attribute of all the supernal powers, because the power of the sea is strong, and this [wind] prevailed over it; and it is written (Ps. 48:8): "With an east wind You break the ships of Tarshish," and "the east wind brought the locusts" (Exod. 10:13). And what is written (Exod. 14:21) "and the LORD caused the sea to go": He began with it in love and mercy, and it did not listen; at once it came upon you with a strong attribute [מרה, sic for מדה] "all the night," because of the attribute of night; and then it was overturned and greatly diminished, and all the kings of the world trembled, for they heard its voice. And what the third verse set between them is in order to separate two strong attributes; for it is a soft attribute, and it set its head above and its end below; for they are strong powers going down to judgment, and this goes up to separate between them. And the secret is that, if they were not so, but were in another way, joined strength with strength and fire with fire, then they would burn up the whole world and destroy the whole world, and the whole world would be destroyed in an instant, and they would not be able to operate with them except to devastate and to destroy and to annihilate, for their power is for this. But now there is found for the Kabbalists in it both for good and for evil, for judgment and for mercy, for love and for hatred, for peace and for war, and also for healing and for driving away an evil and hard spirit, by the power of the forms and by the power of their reckoning and their trumpet-sound [ותרעתם] [unclear] found in them. [In large type:] And now, my son, the wise and the faithful, I adjure you by the LORD, God of heaven, that not at every time and in every season shall you come to look into these things, lest you hold me guilty; and I have already told you at the beginning of my words: only at known times, when you know that your heart is good and upright and your mind settled well. And I swear to you in truth that when it seems to you that you are near to them, you are very far, until you look into them many times well and see the explanation [פי'] of every Name and every power according to their keeping, in their reckoning, in the forms and in their explanation; and you will understand from what he said that Yah [י"ה] is YDY [יד"י] in its form, and it is truly the power of [Him], blessed be He; but there are in it three attributes, and they are three letters corresponding to Keter ʿElyon, Ḥokhmah and Binah; but the truth: the three attributes are a hint to the Fathers of truth; and each power [is] one; for [it is] a power of water, and they are found in it, as (Num. 11:23) "Is the LORD's hand shortened?" — behold mercy; and also (Deut. 2:15) "the hand of the LORD was against them" — behold judgment. And the Kabbalists [use] it to turn it upon that power by which they wish to operate. And also VH [וה] is corresponding to the lower ones, and it is the power of the LORD, for all is one power and one Name; and also in its form it is YDV [יד"ו]; it is HV [ה"ו], corresponding to the pillar of the world; it is the Temple below, and it was [the] world of the earth; and it is written (Isa. 6:3): "the whole earth is full of His glory": in the sanctuary, and from the sanctuary to the whole earth; and also the seventy holy [Names] which go out from the power of this Name, each one for its might and its power. THE FIRST OPERATION [הפעולה הראשונה] [Printed as short entries, two per line; read right to left.] VHV [והו] points that the abundance comes down to the Temple, and from there comes down to the world. YLY [ילי] points that the Name is primordial before every primordial. SYṬ [סיט] points that He was, and He lives and endures. ʿLM [עלם] points that He showed His might in these three verses, the wonders which were done with them in Egypt and at the sea. MHSh [מהש] points to the endurance of the three Fathers; they are three attributes of the Name in the power of Neṣaḥ [victory], for they prevail for their sake. LLH [ללה] points to the creation of the world in mercy, and also it was created by ten utterances. AKhA [אכא] — this points to the World to Come and atonement and forgiveness and rest for the soul, and points to the resurrection of the dead from its form in mercy. And these are seven holy Names: if they are whispered, or written on a plate of silver, for a sick man who is inclined to die, and one expert in them writes them, because their power is to overcome evil and to put to rest every evil spirit and harsh attribute. And he who whispers them at twilight, and he who writes it on the first day [Sunday] in the first hour, and mentions the power, that is to say the angel [of] that hour, in purity, and in a fast, and in a pure immersion, and he shall be pure from intercourse. KHT [כהת] points that the supernal Wisdom is the Torah, and it is the covenant of our God which is in heaven; and on this it did not mention the Tav [ת]. HZY [הזי] points that the wisdom is the wisdom of complete unity, that He is God who is high over all the high. ALD [אלד] points that He is exalted over the chariot of the Seraphim above and below. LAV [לאו] points that when they saw His wonders in Egypt, above and below, which He did in heaven and on earth, then "dominion and fear are with Him" (Job 25:2); all the world feared Him. HHʿ [ההע] points that Moses handed to Aaron a Name with which he would come into the sanctuary, to mention the powers of the Holy One, blessed be He, which are handed down in the breastplate [חשן]; and it is the Name of 72 letters. YZL [יזל] points that the Holy One, blessed be He, His might was exalted, and He sat as King on the throne of the glory of His kingdom, to judge all who come into the world, and also to judge the stars which are in the seven firmaments; and He did not leave them to the one who was doing all the matters of judgment in Egypt. MBH [מבה] points that the power of the Holy One, blessed be He, is the power itself, and in His glory, which the Holy One, blessed be He, sent to Moses, to operate with the Name Yah [י"ה] by the mouth of the LORD. And these seven pure Names [are] for learning wisdom: he who writes them on a plate of silver and drinks them with living water from a living spring at the new moon of Nisan, or hangs them on himself. And they are good for guarding a man from every evil spirit and [evil] eye and from every harmful thing, hung on him, written on deer parchment in holiness and purity, by the attribute of Aaron, and its day and its hour; and the first is the attribute of Moses.

MLH [מלה] points that upper and lower are one power, withholding them. ḤHV [חהו] points [to] the Name from whose power [come] the four foundations. NTH [נתה] points [that] the Tav is essence; but the Resh resembles a firmament and a head to the lower world; but HV [ה"ו], Righteousness [צדק], He calls to His foot [Isa. 41:2], and it is a crown of two attributes, and it is the Righteous One. HAA [האא] points that the 13 attributes [מרות, sic for מדות] include them in one attribute, one power, for the Crown, called complete. YRT [ירת] points to the unity of the Name, that it endures forever. ShAH [שאה] points that the Name goes out from its place to judge in Egypt and to show there His might. And these seven pure Names are good for travellers, to adjure with them the place of fear. These Names shall be written on a plate of copper, and he shall mention them and write them in purity and with immersion, in the name of Isaac and his attribute and his power and his day and his hour; and the fourth day [Wednesday] is its day.

KVQ [כוק] points that the Name of 26 is one essence. And these seven holy Names: he who mentions them in holiness and purity, they are good for learning Torah and wisdom and crafts; and written on one plate of silver they are good against forgetting anything he learned; on the second day [Monday], in its attribute and its power and its hour, written in holiness and purity. MNR [מנר, sic? for מנד] points: when Moses went up on high and all wisdom and understanding and the 32 paths of wisdom were handed to him; and the hint of the holy supernal wisdom, the openings [פתות, sic? פתחות] of the supernal power.

RHʿ [רהע] points that the upper power corresponds to the lower, revealed in the 70 nations, which correspond above [to] seventy degrees, and the Name of four letters over all; and the secret: for "half the threshing-floor" [cf. 1 Kgs. 7:23–25: the Sea], the 70, and "twelve oxen, and the sea upon them," a hint to Jacob and his sons. YYZ [ייז] points to the attributes of the ten powers that come [in] the He [ה"א].

MYKh [מיך] points that with three holinesses the upper and the lower stand, by the power of seventy Names. And these seven holy Names are good for a dream question, and to ask by them about matters, sometimes supernal and hidden. And if he writes them and mentions them with the verse "and it came between" (Exod. 14:20) or with the psalm "A Psalm of David: The LORD is my shepherd" (Ps. 23) together, he will see wonderful, glorious things. In holiness and great purity he shall mention them, and in pure white sheets, and the parchment pure and [unclear: והריו], and on the night of the fourth or fifth [day], and mention them seven times, and put the writing under his head in purity, and say in his question: "May it be Your will, O LORD my God and God of my fathers, and before you, holy and awesome letters, that you show me this night concerning such-and-such a matter, either yes or no." And from midday he shall not eat, and he shall immerse, and ask his question. VVL [וול] points [to] the foundation of the world and its holiness, the Temple, and the Name upon it, and there the tribes of Israel are sealed. YLH [ילה] points to four attributes, all of which are mercy, apart from the fifth, which is among them and is included.

MYH [מיה] points that the form of the Name and the letters were not known except to Moses. VHV [והו] points in its first foundation, and it is the secret of the last He in the Name: ShTA [שת"א] [unclear], last for the attributes, and Yod first. And these seven holy and pure Names are good for asking mercy for every action and every wish he wishes, either with the king or any person, for favour and love; for their power is great and very strong in mercy. And so he shall say: "May it be Your will, great Name, and mighty, that You hear my prayer and my request, and do my will and my operation, concerning such-and-such a matter, which I love to be according to my will. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer" (Ps. 19:15).
