פרק א — שלושים ושתים נתיבות

In thirty-two mysterious Paths of Wisdom did the Lord write; the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, the Living God, the King of ages, the merciful and gracious God, the Exalted One, the Dweller in eternity, most high and holy — engrave His name, and create His universe by the three Sepharim — Number, Writing, and Speech.

Westcott 1887

Ten are the numbers, as are the Sephiroth, and twenty-two the letters, these are the Foundation of all things. Of these twenty-two letters, three are mothers, seven are double, and twelve are simple.

Westcott 1887

Ten are the numbers of the ineffable Sephiroth, ten and not nine, ten and not eleven. Understand this wisdom, and be wise by the perception. Search out concerning it, inquire about it, understand it fully, and restore the Creator to His place.

Ten are the numbers of the ineffable Sephiroth, with ten and not nine, with ten and not eleven: understand this wisdom, and be wise by the perception. Search out concerning it, inquire about it, understand it fully, and restore the Creator to His place.

Ten are the numbers of the ineffable Sephiroth: their vision is like the appearance of lightning, their limit has no end. His word is in them when they go forth and when they return; at His bidding do they haste like a whirlwind, and before His throne they prostrate themselves.

Westcott 1887

Ten are the numbers of the ineffable Sephiroth: their end is fixed in their beginning, and their beginning in their end, as the flame is bound to the burning coal; for the Lord is singular, and there is none else before Him.

Westcott 1887

Ten are the numbers of the ineffable Sephiroth: One is the Spirit of the Living God, blessed be His name, who liveth for ever! Voice and Spirit and Word — this is the Holy Spirit.
