因为没有人知道这个的真正涵义,所以我重新发一下
卡巴拉(KABALA)是密教瑜珈的神秘思想，其希伯来语的原义是(口授心传)。据犹太古笈的记载，这种秘法是驾着天车的神，降落耶路撒冷，传授给犹太人祖先的秘法;内容包括:个人以至全宇宙人类的命运预知术、改变命运的方法、生命之谜、圣经、神与魔鬼的奥秘。代代相传，成为古希伯来秘语的传统，自古以来流传于欧美两洲，被译成(天车之书)、(创造之书)与(光耀之书)三本希伯来文秘本。
其起源，也有传说是神在西奈山顶传给摩西的;也有认为是古印度人观察天体运行、四时变化，创造的法则。历史上有名的数学家毕达哥拉斯、预言家诺斯托拉达姆斯、手相家启罗，都是卡巴拉秘法传承的佼佼者，举世闻名。分散在各地的犹太人，更以卡巴拉传统精神，在政界、商界、学术界、科学界，缔造杰出的成就，湔雪亡国破家、颠沛流离的民族耻辱。
目前最广为流行的卡巴拉，是以一至九的数为根据，探究人与社会的命运周期之秘法。我国和日本，将此秘法译称为(占数术)、(数灵术)、(毕达哥拉斯大占术)、(西洋神数)等名;内容大抵以阳历的年月日之总数、生日数、星期数、罗马字姓名术，为推算个人命运之基础数。
毕达哥拉斯说过一句名言：一切都是数!
一至九的数，是卡巴拉的灵魂，与中国神秘的(洛书)(九宫数)与佛教的(如来无上一字金轮陀罗尼)，不谋而合，涵盖天地人三界，可说是宇宙一切事物的秩序，蕴藏玄妙莫测、深邃精微的哲理。
研习卡巴拉数，可以预知人世间的喜怒哀乐、吉凶祸福，掌握个人丰盛快乐的生涯。若能更进一步结合占星术(ASTROLOGY)、中国的(易经纤纬术)与卡巴拉的其它秘法，则能成为优秀的预言家、先知人物，超越世俗的幸与不幸，激发与生俱来的灵性，拯救苦难的众生。
在《新世纪福音战士》片头出现的图案，由十个圈和二十二条线组成，此时全剧一开始就悬着的一个迷团，绘于宽广的司令室的天花板，第三次浩劫仪式中十部EVA所组成的图形。“卡巴拉”一词源于希伯来的阿拉姆迦勒底语，意思是“口述传统”，可能是近似冥想，打坐之类方法寻求宇宙奥秘的修行法，据说是摩西在西奈山受十诫时由天神或大天使一并传授。此后以口传方式流传下来，直到第一，二世纪才见诸文字。 现在的卡巴拉生命树概念为由中世纪犹太神秘主义者犹太教教士“拉比”所创，他将过去古代的知识，以数字和字母的方式结合起来，作为解答宗教哲学问题上之依据。后来犹太教徒更进一步将事物起源区分为经由22条路径环环相扣的10个数字，每个数字都对应一个希伯来文字母，具体的分类图表则用生命之树来表示。十三世纪因《光辉之书》（SEFHER HAZOHAR）而广为人知，这种说法到了十六世纪已经发展成类似基督教形式的哲学理论。全世界有许多宗教和流派信奉不同的生命树概念。亚森尼派甚至以生命之树（SEPHIROTH）为信仰核心，但是亚森尼的生命之树反倒比较接近印度玄学的领域。SEPHIROTH的真义是象征人类获得救赎的过程。线代表“存在的形式”（FORMS OF EXISTRNCE），圆代表知觉的形式（FORMS OF CONSCLOUSNESS），前者是“智慧的次路径”，后者是“智慧的主路径”，整副图象由“力”（FORCE）沉淀到“型”（FORM），即救赎的过程。
对于卡巴拉生命树的看法，一般都认为生命树中的十个球面代表神的十个面，左边代表男性，右边代表女性，而中间则是二者和协地带。对信徒而言那十个球面也代表人类所能够取得的能量中心，这是古代宗教发展出来关于“神”的观念。以石炭和火焰作比喻，人在黑暗中是无法分辨出黑炭的存在的，但是一旦黑炭燃烧放出光芒，人就可以发现它的存在，可是火焰只是黑炭所表达出来的性质中的一种，决不是代表黑炭的全部。古代思想家认为“神”也是这样子的存在，于是设计了十种阶段的神的属性，称为“卡巴拉”，而连接这十种属性的流出经路的结构，就称为“卡巴拉生命树 其中十个球的意义如下: 一：KETHER——超越，王冠，神之本性
二：CHHOKMAH——知慧，纯粹理性，创造原点
三：BINAH——知性，实质的理性，创造之泉
四：CHESED——爱，仁慈，恩宠，伟大
五：GEBURAH——法，神的权利，恶的发现，怒
六：TIPHARETH——慈悲，调停，美丽
七：NETSAH——永远，膨胀，胜利
八：HOD——尊严，收缩，荣光
九：YESOD——基础，万物的基础，神的创造力
十：MALKUTH——王国，物质，人 此外有些占卜者把塔罗牌的二十二张牌与生命树的二十二条路径混合起来讨论。
虽然毕达哥拉斯被尊称为数字学之父，但他的学说果真就是不变的真理？数字学当然不是一言堂，赶快来一探究竟吧！
数字学的研究历时不辍，在历代学者不断地贡献心智之后，自然会发展出面貌略有差异的几门学派。在这里我们主要为大家介绍三个学派，分别是卡巴拉学派（the Kabbalah，又称犹太学派）、迦尔汀学派（the Chaldean）以及毕氏学派（the Pythagorean）。除此之外，还有由卡巴拉学派衍生出来的新卡巴拉学派(the New Kabbalah)等等。
一般而言，这三个学派对数字学的研究各有贡献，对「数字」的观点互相冲突的部分也并不大，反倒是诠释时着重的重点不同。所以，大多数的数字学者在分析与诠释个案的时候，仍然会交叉参酌使用。
卡巴拉学派（the Kabbalah，又称犹太学派）
Kabbalah一字源自希伯来的神秘主义，意指着学识是伴随着人们的心灵与生俱来而来，而非来自人们设计的教育制度。该字是由希伯来的字母系统衍生而来，因此这个派系从数字1到400只有22个振动数。而希伯来字母表最早也是改良自希腊的字母表。
新卡巴拉学派(the New Kabbalah，又称新犹太学派 )
新卡巴拉学派和卡巴拉学派较大的差异，便是它的字母与数字对照表是以当时的罗马字母表为准，而非来自希伯来字母。除此之外，在讨论数字学时，他们跟旧派关注的焦点也略有差异，他们较偏重整个事件的发展过程，而非局限于人格特质。新卡巴拉学派的数字学规则跟毕氏学派其实是如出一脉，例如计算年份的方法就是承袭自该学派。
迦尔汀学派（the Chaldean）
迦尔汀学派的占数术，自古巴比伦(Ancient Babylon)时期就已发展出一套自有的系统，并加入了一些占星术的概念。在他们的学理中，9是一个相当神圣的数字，因而它是从其它的振动数中独立出来的，而且并不与其它字母做任何的对应，这一点跟其它学派显著不同。
在这一派的占数术中，常常使用复合数的观念，个位数代表着一个人外在的面向，也就是显露于外的特质；而十位数则是揭露出人们内心的世界，以及对心灵思维的影响，这也是和其它学派较为不同的论点。
毕氏学派（the Pythagorean）
毕氏学派顾名思义，当然是从毕达哥拉斯开始一脉相承。毕氏在学习数学的过程中，就一直对超自然、玄学方面的事物保持高度的兴趣。他曾经在埃及的一所学习炼金术的学校研习过，并且把它融会在众多教学的技巧上，再传授给他在希腊的学生。据说，他的学生不只得亲手写下这些理论，而且还得把它们背得滚瓜烂熟。
另外，毕达哥拉斯发现了"直角三角形"，而且除了将它用来象征个体，更将之当作是一种个人生活中的占数术解读模板。毕式学派的占数术解析出，人的姓名与其出生日其实是相互影响的。基本的振动数值就是从1至9，不过11与22原本就不隶属于主要的振动数群，所以在计算上不能把它们再相加并算至只剩个位数。
卡巴拉就是犹太人的秘密智慧。关于它的起源，有许多虚构的传说；其中有许多暧昧的成分。据说这种智慧包含在两部书里，就是“耶齐拉”（创造）和“索哈尔”（光明）。这两部书中主要的一部“耶齐拉”，是一位犹太教士阿其巴所写的，迈尔先生将在弗朗克福为它出一个比较完全的版本。这部书中的思想有一部分和费洛相似，不过有一部分是很暧昧的，是写得充满幻想的。不过，这部书并没有那些崇拜卡巴拉的人所说的那样古老；他们说，这部天书是在亚当犯罪以后赐给他作安慰的。这书是天文学、医学、魔术、预言的混合物，从一些历史迹象看来，这些东西是在埃及人中间研究过的。阿其巴生活在耶路撒冷毁灭后不久。犹太人曾经聚集了二十万人反叛哈德良皇帝，在起义中犹太教士很积极；巴尔·科赫巴斯被拥为弥赛亚，这位犹太教士后来被活活地剥了皮。第二部书据说是他的弟子犹太教士西墨恩·本·约海所著；他称之为伟大的光明、摩西的火花。这两部书都在十七世纪译成了拉丁文。有一个从事思辨的以色列人犹太教士亚伯拉罕·科亨·伊里拉也写了一部书，叫做“天门”（Porta coelorum）；这书比较晚，是十五世纪的作品，包含了一些与阿拉伯人和经院哲学家有关的材料。这些就是崇高的卡巴拉智慧的史料来源。这是一堆暧昧的混合物，不过那部书是有普遍性的基础的。书中所包含的较好的东西，是与费洛相似的一些看法。在这两部书里，有一些很有趣的基本规定，不过从这些规定出发却走到暧昧的幻想中去了。
在较早的时候，犹太人中间并没有想到上帝是一个光明的实体，也没有想到光明的对立面，即黑暗以及与光明斗争的罪恶，也没有想到善的天使和恶的天使，以及恶人的堕落、遭谴、下地狱，和对于善人和恶人的未来大审判，以及肉体的败坏。犹太人从这时起，才将自己的思想解脱出来，超过他们的现实，倾心于一个精神的世界，至少也是倾心于一个众多精神的世界，因为在这以前，他们这些犹太人眼睛里只有自己，沉溺在污秽里，一味妄自尊大，只知道保全自己的民族和宗族。
至于卡巴拉的详细内容，是下面这样的：太一被宣布为万物的始基，同时也是一切数目的来源。正如数目的统一不是一切数目中的任何一个数目，同样情形，只有上帝才是万物的根基（En-soph）。与此相联系的流溢乃是最初的原因所产生的结果，由限制那最初的无限者而来；它是最初者的极限（■）。在这最初的唯一原因里面，是隐伏地（eminenter）包含着一切，并不是形式地</ZSBJ13600163_0170_0/ZSBJ>①伊里拉：“天门”，第一篇，第四章；提德曼：“思辨哲学的精神”，第三部，第一四九——一五○页：布勒：“哲学史教程”，第四部，第一五六页。（formaliter）包含着一切，而是作为原因（causaliter）包含着一切。第二个主要环节是亚当·卡德孟，第一个人，是克特尔，第一个发生物，是最高的王冠，小宇宙、大宇宙，流溢出来的世界就象光的流出一样与这个环节联系着。通过更进一步的流溢，便发生了世界的其他各个范围；这种流溢被说成了光明之流。首先流出十道光明之流，这些流（Sephiroth）造成纯净的阿齐鲁世界，这个世界里是没有任何变化的；其次流出布里亚特世界，是有变化的，再次流出成形的耶齐拉世界，——这是被放在物质中的纯粹精神，是星辰的灵魂（纯粹的精神是更进一步的区别，在这些区别里还继续着这种暧昧的方式）；更次流出的是造就了的世界，阿西亚世界：这是最低的、滋长着的、有感觉的世界。
麦田圈之所以举世瞩目，是因为田园之上出现面积奇大的几何图案。每组图案都以圆形及长方形组成，面积与几个足球场相若。从高空俯瞰，这些图形看不出有甚麽意思，亦没有一个特定主题，只知道无一相同，但图案都是互相对称。
这是英国麦地里出现的人类智慧发达图表。十七世纪以后，在这种麦地里出现的图形竟达三千多个。下面的图形是卡巴拉（犹太教经典）里的图形，它又是遗迹中出现的图形。在各种资料里容 易找到这种图形。
卡巴拉图形——左、中间图像（卡巴拉是犹太教经典） 古书里的图形出现在英国麦地里，右面是英国 stone hengi 分析图像。 左、中间是卡巴拉里的人类智慧发达图表，右面是在英国 stone hengi 出现的几何学的形状。感兴趣的是英国的 stone hengi 和卡巴拉里的图形都具有几何学的六角星形状，这个也叫infinte mark 的图形在以色列国旗中就能看到。中间的图像是卡巴拉里的图像 ，上面有天使、神圣的箱子以及最上面写着的[耶洛因]。 人类的最高智慧阶段是成为圣经里称之为[神]的耶洛因。古圣经里明明写着[耶洛因]并解释为[来自天空的人们]属复数形，但目前的圣经大多数不使用[耶洛因]却使用毫无意义的[神]这一单词 。 外文参考文献如下:
CHAPTER ONE
1. In thirty-two wonderful Paths of Wisdom did Jah, Jehovah Tzabaoth, the God of
Israel, the Elohim of the living, the King of ages, the merciful and gracious God, the exalted
One, the Dweller in eternity, most high and holy engrave his name by the three
Sepharim-Numbers, Letters, and Sounds.
2. Ten are the ineffable Sephiroth. Twenty-two are the Letters, the Foundation of all things;
there are Three Mothers, Seven Double and Twelve Simple letters.
3. The ineffable Sephiroth are Ten, so are the Numbers; and as there are in man five fingers
over against five, so over them is established a covenant of strength, by word of mouth, and
by the circumcision of the flesh.
4. Ten is the number of the ineffable Sephiroth, ten and not nine, ten and not eleven.
Understand this wisdom, and be wise in the perception. Search out concerning it, restore the
W'ord to its creator, and replace Him who formed it upon his throne.
5. The Ten ineffable Sephiroth have ten vast regions bound unto them; boundless in ongin and
having no ending; an abyss' of good and of ill; measureless height and depth; boundless to the
East and the West; boundless to the North and South; and the Lord the only God, the Faithful
King rules all these from his holy seat, for ever and ever.
6. The Ten ineffable Sephiroth have the appearance of the Lightning flash, their origin is
unseen and no end is perceived. The Word is in them as they rush forth and as they return, they
speak as from the whirling wind and returning fall prostrate in adoration before the Throne.
7. The Ten ineffable Sephiroth, whose ending is even as their origin, are like as a flame
arising from a burning coal. For God is superlative in his Unity, there is none equal unto Him:
what number canst thou place before One. "
8. Ten are the ineffable Sephiroth; seal up thy lips lest thou speak of them, and guard thy
heart as thou considerest them; and if thy mind escape from thee bring it back to thy control;
even as it was said' " running and returning" (the living creatures ran and returned) and hence
was the Covenant made.
9. The ineffable Sephiroth give forth the Ten numbers. First; the Spirit of the God of the
living; Blessed and more than blessed be the Living God of ages. The Voice, the Spirit, and the
Word-, these are of the Holy Spirit.
10. Second; from the Spirit He produced Air, and formed in it twenty-two sounds-the letters;
three are mothers, seven are double, and twelve are simple; but the Spirit is first and above
these. Third; from the Air He formed the Waters, and from the formless and void made mire
and clay, and designed surfaces upon them, and hewed recesses in them, and formed the strong
material foundation. Fourth; from the Water He formed Fire and made for Himself a Throne of
Glory with Auphanim, Seraphim and Kerubim, as his ministering angels; and with these three
he completed his dwelling, as it is written, "Who maketh his angels spirits and his ministers
a flaming fire".'
11. He selected three letters from among the simple ones and sealed them and formed them
into a Great Name, I H V, and with this He sealed the universe in six directions. ,
Fifth; He looked above, and sealed the Height with I H V.
Sixth; He looked below, and sealed the Depth with I V H.
Seventh; He looked forward, and sealed the East with H I V.
Eighth; He looked backward, and sealed the West with H V I.
Ninth; He looked to the right, and sealed the South with V I H.
Tenth; He looked to the left, and sealed the North with V- H I.
12. Behold ! From the Ten ineffable Sephiroth do proceed-the One Spirit of the Gods of the
living, Air, Water, Fire; and also Height, Depth, East, West, North and South.
CHAPTER TWO
1. The twenty-two sounds and letters are the Foundation of all things. Three mothers,
seven doubles and twelve simples. The Three Mothers are Aleph, Mem and Shin, they are Air,
Water and Fire. Water is silent, Fire is sibilant, and Air derived from the Spirit is as the
tongue of a balance standing between these contraries which are in equilibrium, reconciling
and mediating between them.
2. He hath formed, weighed, and composed with these twenty-two letters every soul, and the
soul of everything which shall hereafter be.
3. These twenty-two sounds 'or letters are formed by the voice, impressed on the air, and
audibly modified in five places; in the throat, in the mouth, by the tongue, through the teeth,
and by the lips.
4. These twenty-two letters, which are the foundation of all things, He arranged as upon a
sphere with two hundred and thirty-one gates, and the sphere may be rotated forward or
backward, whether for good or for evil: from the good comes true pleasure, from evil nought
but torment.
5. For He shewed the combination of these letters, each with the other; Aleph with all, and all
with Aleph; Beth with all, and all with Beth. Thus in combining all together in pairs are
produced the two hundred and thirty-one gates of knowledge.
6. And from the non-existent He made Some-Thing; and all forms of speech and everything that
has been produced; from the empty void He made the material world, and from the inert earth
He brought' forth everything that hath life. He hewed, as it were, vast columns out of the
intangible air, and by the power of His Name made every 'creature and everything that' is; and
the production of all things from the twenty-two letters is the proof that they are all but
parts of one body.
CHAPTER THREE
1. The Foundation of all others is composed of the Three Mothers, Aleph, Mem and
Shin; they resemble a Balance, on the one hand the guilty, on the other hand the purified, and
Aleph the Air is like the Tongue of a Balance standing between them.
2. The Three Mothers Aleph, Mem and Shin are a great Mystery, very admirable and most
recondite, and sealed as with six rings; and from them proceed Air, Fire, and Water, which
divide into male and female forces. The Three Mothers Aleph, Mem and Shin are the Foundation,
from them spring three Fathers, and from these have proceeded all things that are in the
world.
3. The Three Mothers in the world are Aleph Mem and Shin: the heavens were produced from
Fire; the earth from the Water; and the Air from the Spirit is as a reconciler between the Fire
and the Water.
4. The Three Mothers Aleph, Mem and Shin, Fire, Water and Air are shown in the Year; from the
fire was made heat, from the waters was made cold, and from the air was produced the
temperate state, again a mediator between them. The Three Mothers, Aleph, Mem and Shin,
Fire, Water and Air are found in Man: from the fire was formed the head; from the water the
belly; and from the air was formed the chest again placed as a mediator between the others.
5. These Three Mothers did He produce and design, and combined them; and He sealed them as
the three mothers in the Universe, in the Year and in Man-both male and female. He caused the
letter Aleph to reign in Air and crowned it, and combining it with the others He sealed it, as
Air in the World, as the temperate (climate) of the Year, and as the chest the lungs for
breathing air in Man: the male with A.M.S., the female with S.M.A. He caused the letter Mem to
reign in Water, crowned it, and combining it with the others formed the earth in the world,
cold in the year, and the belly in man, male and female, the former with M.A.S., the latter with
M.S.A. He caused Shin to reign in Fire, and crowned it, and combining it with the others, sealed
with it the heavens in the universe, heat in the year and the head in man, male and female.
CHAPTER FOUR
1. The Seven Double Letters, Beth, Gimel, Daleth, Kaph, Pe, Resh, and Tau have each
two sounds associated with them. They are referred to Life, Peace, Wisdom, Riches, Grace,
Fertility and Power. The two sounds of each letter are the hard and the soft-the aspirated and
the softened. They are called Double, because each letter presents a contrast or permutation ;
thus Life and Death; Peace and War(Evil); Wisdom and Folly; Riches and Poverty; Grace and
Indignation; Fertility and Solitude (Desolation); Power and Servitude.
2. These Seven Double Letters point out seven localities; Above, Below, East, West, North,
South, and the Palace of Holiness in the midst of them sustaining all things.
3. These Seven Double Letters He designed, produced, and combined, and formed with them the
Planets (stars) of this Universe, the Days of the Week, and the Gates of the soul (the orifices
of perception) in Man. From these Seven He hath produced the Seven Heavens, the Seven Earths,
the Seven Sabbaths: for this cause He has loved and blessed the number Seven, more than all
things under Heaven (His Throne).
4. Two Letters produce two houses; three form six; four form twenty-four; five form one
hundred and twenty; six form seven hundred and twenty ; seven form five thousand and forty;
and beyond this their numbers increase so that the mouth can hardly utter them, nor the ear
hear the number of them. So now, behold the Stars of the Universe (Planets) are Seven; the
Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. The Seven are also the Seven Days of
Creation; and the Seven Gateways of the Soul of Man-the two eyes, the two ears, the mouth
and the two nostrils. So with the Seven are formed the seven heavens,~ the seven earths, and
the seven periods of time; and so has He preferred the number Seven above all things under
Heaven.
CHAPTER FIVE
1. The Twelve Simple Letters are Heh, Vau, Zain, Cheth, Teth, Yod, Lamed, Nun,
Samech, Oin, Tzaddi and Qoph:They are the foundations of these twelve properties: Sight,
Hearing, Smell, Speech, Taste, Sexual Love, Work, Movement, Anger, Mirth, Imagination and
Sleep. These Twelve are also allotted to the directions in space: North-east, South-east, the
East above, the East below, the North above, the North below, the South-west, the North-west,
the West above, the West below, the South above, and the South below; these diverge to
infinity, and are as the arms of the Universe.
2. These Twelve Simple Letters he designed, and combined, and formed with them the Twelve
celestial constellations of the Zodiac, whose signs are Teth, Shin, Tau, Samech, Aleph, Beth,
Mem, Oin, Qoph, Gimel, Daleth and Daleth. The Twelve are also the Months of the Year: Nisan,
Yiar, Sivan, Tamuz, Ab, Elul, Tishri, Hesvan, Kislev, Tebet, Sabat and Adar. The Twelve are also
the Twelve organs of living creatures, the two hands, the two feet, the two kidneys, the
spleen, the liver, the gall, private parts, stomach and intestines.
He made these, as it were provinces, and arranged them as in order of battle for warfare. And
also the Elohim made one from the region of the other.
Three Mothers and Three Fathers; and thence issue Fire, Air, and Water. Three Mothers, Seven
Doubles and Twelve Simples..
3. Behold now these are the Twenty and Two Letters from which Jah, Jehovah Tzabaoth, the
Elohim of the living, the God of Israel, exalted and sublime, the Dweller in eternity, formed
and established all things; High and Holy is His Name.
CHAPTER SIX
1. Three Fathers and their generations, Seven conquerors and their armies, and Twelve
bounds of the Universe. See now, of these words, the faithful witnesses are the Universe, the
Year and Man. The dodecad, the heptad, and the triad with their provinces; above is the
Celestial Dragon, T L 1, and below is the World, and lastly the heart of Man. The Three are
Water, Air and Fire; Fire above, Water below, and Air conciliating between them; and the sign
of these things is that the Fire sustains (volatilizes) the waters; Mem is mute, Shin is
sibilant, and AIeph is the Mediator and as it were a friend placed between them.
2. The Celestial Dragon, T L I, is placed over the universe like a king upon the throne; the
revolution of the year is as a king over his dominion; the heart of man is as a king in warfare.
Moreover, He made all things one from the other; and the Elohim set good over against evil, and
made good things from good, and evil things from evil: with the good tested He the evil, and
with the evil did He try the good. Happiness is reserved for the good, and misery is kept for
the wicked.
3. The Three are One, and that One stands above. The Seven are divided; three are over against
three, and one stands between the triads. The Twelve stand as in warfare; three are friends,
three are enemies; three are life givers; three are destroyers. The three friends are the heart,
the ears, and the mouth; the three enemies are the liver, the gall, and the tongue; while God
the faithful king rules over all. One above Three, Three above Seven, and Seven above Twelve;
and all are connected the one with the other.
4. And after that our father Abraham had perceived, and understood, and had taken down and
engraved all these things, the Lord most high revealed Himself, and called him His beloved,
and made a Covenant with him and his seed; and Abraham believed on Him and it was imputed
unto him for righteousness. And He made this Covenant between the ten toes of the feetthis is
like that of circumcision; and between the ten fingers of the hands and this is like that of the
tongne. And He bound the twenty- two letters unto his speech and shewed him all the
mysteries of them. He drew them through the Waters; He burned them in the Fire; He vibrated
them in the Air; Seven in the highest heavens; and Twelve in the celestial constellations of
the Zodiac.
