פרק ד — שבע כפולות

Seven double letters: Beth, Gimel, Daleth, Kaph, Pe, Resh, Thau — pronounced aspirate and hard, double, because they are enunciated with a double utterance: Beth aspirate, Beth hard, etc.

Westcott 1887

Seven double letters: Beth, Gimel, Daleth, Kaph, Pe, Resh, Thau. He formed of them seven planets in the universe, the seven days of the week, the seven gates of the soul — two eyes, two ears, a mouth, and two nostrils.

Westcott 1887

Seven planets in the heavens: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon. Seven days in the week: Sabbath, First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth. Seven gates in the human body: two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, one mouth.

Westcott 1887

Seven double letters produce seven and not six, seven and not eight. Consider this, and guide your body accordingly — make of them a great principle. And the seven are: wisdom and folly, riches and poverty, fertility and desolation, life and death, dominion and servitude, peace and war, beauty and ugliness.

Westcott 1887
