Sefer Yetzirah

YAH, ADONAI of Hosts, God of Israel, Living God and King of the World, EL SHADDAI, Merciful and Gracious, High and Exalted, Dwelling Ever Above, Holy Is His Name—He carved and created His World in Thirty-Two Wondrous Ways of Wisdom, with three linguistic tools: with Counting, with Writing, and with Speech.

Ten SEFIROT BELIMAH and Twenty-Two Letters of Foundation: Three Mothers, Seven Pairs, and Twelve Simple Letters.

Ten SEFIROT BELIMAH—The count of ten fingers, five against five, with the Covenant of the Unique One established in the center, like a word of the tongue and circumcision of the genitals.

Ten SEFIROT BELIMAH—Ten and not nine, ten and not eleven. Understand with Wisdom and become wise with Understanding; test with them and probe of them. Make a thing stand in assembly before its Creators; return the Maker to His Site.
