power of magick is the power of our master enki, lord of the seas, and master of magick, father of marduk, fashioner of the magick name, the magick number, the magick word, the magick shape. so, therefore, the priest who governeth the works of fire, and of the god of fire, gishbar called gibil, must firstly sprinkle with the water of the seas of enki, as a testament to his lordship and a sign of the covenant that exists between him and thee. know, thirdly, that by the power of the elder gods and the submission of the ancient ones, thou mayest procure every type of honour, dignity, wealth and happiness, but that these are to be shunned as the purveyors of death, for the most radiant jewels are to be found buried deep in the earth, and the tomb of man is the splendour of ereshkigal, the joy

uduug uugga gishtugbi and he will put on a comely appearance, and will answer truthfully all the questions you shall put to him, which he has writ to answer. and it must be remembered that, after the questions have been answered to satisfaction, the spirit is to be sent back to whence it came and not detained any longer, and no attempt must be made to free the spirit, for that is in violation of the covenant, and will bring upon thee and thy generations a most potent curse, wherefore it is unlawful to move the bones of the dead or to disinter the bones of the dead. and the spirit may be sent back by means of these words barra uug uduug uugga! and he will immediately disappear and return to his resting place. if he does not go at once, simply recite again those words, and he will do so. th

ounter in his rites are herein described, and their reasons, and their natures, and essences. and the number of the lines is sacred, and the word are sacred, and are most potent charms against the evil ones. and surely some magicians of the country do write them on parchment or clay, or on pottery, or in the air, that they might be efficacious thereby, and that the gods will remember the words of the covenant. i copied these words down in my tongue and kept them faithfully these many years, and my own copy will go with me to the place where i will go when my spirit is torn from the body. but heed these words well, and remember! for remembering is the most important and most potent magick, being the rememberance of things past and the rememberance of things to come, which is the same memory

of the earth, remember! iii of the forgotten generations of man and was not man created from the blood of kingu commander of the hordes of the ancient ones? does not man possess in his spirit the sees of rebellion against the elder gods? and the blood of man is the blood of vengeance and the blood of man is the spirit of vengeance and the power of man is the power of the ancient ones and this is the covenant for, lo! the elder gods possess the sign by which the powers of the ancient ones are turned back but man possesses the sign and the number and the shape to summon the blood of his parents. and this is the covenant. created by the elder gods from the blood of the ancient ones man is the key by which the gate if iak sakkak may be flung wide by which the ancient ones seek their vengeance

he elder gods from the blood of the ancient ones man is the key by which the gate if iak sakkak may be flung wide by which the ancient ones seek their vengeance upon the face of the earth against the offspring of marduk. for what is new came from that which is old and what is old shall replace that which is new and once again the ancient ones shall rule upon the face of the earth! and this is too the covenant! iv of the sleep of ishtar yet ishtar queen of heaven bright light of nights mistress of the gods set her mind in that direction from above she set her mind, to below she set her mind from the heavens she set forth to the abyss out of the gates of the living to enter the gates of death out of the lands we know into the lands we know not to the land of no return to the land of queen er

harisees. the intense and complicated levitical focus of the rabbinical sect developed from the codes of behavior and traditions institutionalized by the priesthood (kohanim) of the centralized temples in jerusalem. the strict codes reflected the extraordinary level of levitical purity that had to be maintained to enact the high level rituals performed in the first temple, which housed the ark of the covenant. within that context, the priests needed to be like angels who attend the throne of the lord hvhy. the kohanic codes had a significant impact on the development of the pharisaic rabbinate centuries later. they were redacted much later in the talmud yerushalmi and talmud babli, which contain voluminous commentary garnered from over four centuries of rabbinical dialectic. the talmud is

n cubits wide, ten cubits high, and twenty cubits long, which was called the holy place and contained three special articles of furniture, namely, the seven-branched candlestick, the table of the shewbread, and the altar of burnt incense; the other room ten cubits wide, ten cubits high, and ten cubits long, which was called the holy of holies and contained but one article of furniture--the ark of the covenant. the two rooms were separated from each other by an ornamental veil upon which were embroidered many kinds of flowers, but no animal or human figures. josephus hints that there was a third compartment which was formed by subdividing the holy place, at least hypothetically, into two chambers. the jewish historian is not very explicit in his description of this third room, and the major

ds of man's mouth ascend as an acceptable offering unto the lord, for the larynx occupies the position in the constitution of man between the holy place, which is the trunk of his body, and the holy of holies, which is the head with its contents. into the holy of holies none might pass save the high priest, and he only at certain prescribed times, the room contained no furnishings save the ark of the covenant, which stood against the western wall, opposite the entrance. in exodus the dimensions of the ark are given as two and a half cubits for its length, one cubit and a half its breadth and one cubit and a half its height. it was made of shittim-wood, gold plated within and without, and contained the sacred tablets of the law delivered to moses upon sinai. the lid of the ark was in the fo

n the wings of the celestials that the lord of israel descended when he desired to communicate with his high priest. the furnishings of the tabernacle were made conveniently portable. each altar and implement of any size was supplied with staves which could be put: through rings; by this means it could be picked up and carried by four or more bearers. the staves were never removed from the ark of the covenant until it was finally placed in the holy of holies of the everlasting house, king solomon's temple. there is no doubt that the jews in early times realized, at least in part, that their tabernacle was a symbolic edifice. josephus realized this and while he has been severely criticized because he interpreted the tabernacle symbolism according to egyptian and grecian paganism, his descri

n believed that an edifice so constructed because it was in no respect at variance with any existing reality would not be subject to dissolution but would endure throughout the span of mortal time. as a logical deduction from their philosophic trend of thought, such a building--en rapport with cosmos--would also have become an oracle. certain early works on magical philosophy hint that the ark of the covenant was oracular in character because of specially prepared chambers in its interior. these by their shape and arrangement were so attuned to the vibrations of the invisible world that they caught and amplified the voices of the ages imprinted upon and eternally existent in the substance of the astral light. unskilled in these ancient subtleties of their profession, modern architects ofte

h that protects the world from its rays. one aspect of the purification process of purgatory is unbearable heat. abraham gwas sitting at the opening of the tent, h referring to [our sages f statement] that he sits at the entrance of purgatory and keeps whoever is circumcised and sealed with the holy covenant and has not blemished it from entering.6 abraham was the first jew to be circumcised, and the covenant of circumcision is known to this day as gthe covenant of abraham. h thus, whoever fulfills the commandment of being circumcised and guards the purity of his sexuality merits abraham fs protection. allegorically, this simply means that guarding sexual purity is sufficient merit to be spared the ordeal of purgatory even if one has sinned in other ways that would have otherwise required

e created h is a permutation of the word for] gthrough abraham. h10 gwhen they were created h (behibaram: beit-hei-beit-reish-alef-mem. gthrough abraham h (be-avraham: beit-alef-beit-reish-hei-mem. the fact that the word for gwhen they were created h can be permuted to the word for gthrough abraham h implies that the creation of the world was in a sense dependent on abraham, or his merit. through the covenant [with abraham, the world [of tikun] endures.as it is written, gwere it not for my covenant by day, h11 referring to abraham.despite the presence of impurities, i.e, ishmael and esau, as it is written, gfor through isaac it will be called for you seed, h12 i.e, holy seed. 5 z. yavetz, toldot yisrael, vol. 6, p. 276, translated and quoted in meir holder, history of the jewish people: fr

or my covenant by day and by night, i would not have established the laws of heaven and earth, h meaning, were it not for the observance of the torah by the jewish people day and night, g-d would have no purpose for the world and its laws of nature. here, gby day h is taken to refer to abraham, since the world was plunged in spiritual darkness until abraham, and gabraham began to shine light. h15 the covenant g-d made with abraham was that he would make him the progenitor of the jewish people and that they would inherit the land of israel as the ideal setting for accomplishing their mission, to be a glight to the nations h and disseminate divine consciousness through reality, making the world into g-d fs home. the verse gfor through isaac it will be called for you seed h is understood to m

n gin isaac, h and this is taken to indicate that only part of isaac fs seed will transmit the genetic line of the jewish people. thus, only jacob plays this role, and not esau, isaac fs other son.17 then, in abraham [g-d] found [a vessel for] all the seed of israel, and the souls that existed before the world was created existed in him. for until then, the world was in the order of tohu, without the covenant. that is why the world only was able to endure through the covenant of abraham. this is the [mystical] meaning of the idea that g-d gcreated them h gthrough abraham. h understand this. at this point [abraham] was informed that he would have isaac, and that the seed of israel would all exist in him, as it is written, gfor through isaac it will be called for you seed. h since this was t

ite h alludes to] the letter chet and the left channel of the [male reproductive organ, associated with] yesod. as we have seen previously, the male reproductive organ is called gthe live one h because it gcomes alive h (i.e, becomes erect. the gend h of the glive one h is the gcrown of the yesod h (anatomically, the glans of the organ) that is exposed by circumcision. circumcision is the sign of the covenant between g-d and the jewish people, the pact between them obligating us (and enabling us) to always remain gopen h and sensitive to spirituality, just as the circumcised sexual organ renders the husband more sensitive to his wife fs experience of relations and not focused solely on his own sensual enjoyment. isaac (whose name alludes to this sensitivity) is thus the antithesis of the p

the purity of sexual energy, the energy of yesod) as well. furthermore, it is well known that the tribes were not meant to reflect the ten sefirot but rather twelve extremities, which exist in malchut as the twelve cattle, as is explained elsewhere. 2 1 chronicles 29:10. the arizal on parashat vayeisheiv 191 it was known in ancient times that a central prerequisite for establishing the people of the covenant, the family that would develop into the nation that would carry the divine message to the rest of humanity, was a family of twelve sons, all of whom would be worthy of this mission. thus, we see, for example, that abraham and his brother nachor both sought to expand their families to this number of sons by taking concubines. in fact, however, it was jacob who was the first to actually

holy and powerful souls,9 but evil fs grasp of them spoiled them. once they would be purified and be rid of the sickness of impurity, they would be manifest as holy souls. as you also know, it is specifically the holiest souls that evil attempts to grasp. we can perhaps understand this as follows. rabbi shalom dovber of lubavitch states that someone who has never committed the sin of gblemishing the covenant [of circumcision] h on some level cannot truly relate to the inner dimension of the torah. now, the most basic meaning of gblemishing the covenant h is wasteful emission of seed, but it can refer also to any sexual aberration, and more subtly, to any lapse of divine consciousness resulting from being seduced by some foreign promise of spiritual fulfillment. after all, wasteful emissio

ound issues in life, such as gwhat is the meaning of life h and gwhy is there suffering in the world, h etc. if a person has never been bothered and frustrated by these questions enough to fall for the bait of a shortcut to their solution, the inner dimension of the torah will not speak to him. so, after all this we can perhaps presume that the seminal emissions produced by the sin of gblemishing the covenant, h despite their impure origin, do contain within them sparks of very high potential energy, since they originate.even if only subconsciously.in this frustration over life not being the divine communion it is meant to be. the fact that evil seeks to overtake holiness accounts for the law that only jews are required to wash their hands upon rising in the morning. when a person goes to

erstand the nature of the blemish being produced by examining the effect it produces. the fact that the jews were being punished with mortar and bricks indicated that they were atoning for the sin of the generation of the dispersion, who sinned with mortar 10 genesis 4:1. 11 etz chaim 32:2. 12 genesis 11:3. the arizal on parashat shemo 226 and bricks. and that generation had sinned by gblemishing the covenant, h which is a function of da fat, the sefirah of coupling. to explain: whenever the jewish people sin here below and thereby cause some flaw in some divine attribute or supernal sefirah (g-d forbid, evil is able to derive sustenance from this blemish and therefore attaches itself to that point. we may envision evil as a disease that attacks a weakened immune system. this is the secret

e [havayah] in his midst. h his gmidst h means gin his consciousness. h this is what joseph meant [in his reply to pharaoh: gg-d relates to you [presently] only through his name elokim, and this is why the interpretation of your dreams is through this name. therefore, please tell them to me, since i comprise all these levels and i can therefore interpret them. h as said above, joseph, epitomizing the covenant of the tongue, comprised all the holy aspects corresponding to the deputies of pharaoh. thus, when the chief butler related his dream, it was all in proper order. he said, gthe vine had three branches, h17 these being the three deputies. the word for gdeputy h [sar] represents two names elokim, one in the progressive iteration and the other spelled out with the letter yud. sar: sin-re

not emotionally and certainly not intellectually involved in his service of g-d. he serves g-d like a canaanite slave-girl, perhaps not altogether against his will, but if it were up to him he fd rather be doing something else. 1 exodus 32:2. 2 malachi 2:11. the full text of this passage is: ghave we not all one father? did not one g-d create us? why do we break faith with one another, profaning the covenant of our ancestors? judah has broken faith; abhorrent things have been done in israel and in jerusalem. for judah has profaned what is holy to g-d.what he desires.and espoused daughters of alien gods. h 3 kidushin 17b. 4 leviticus 25:46. the arizal on parashat mishpatim 316 now, there are three spellings-out of the name ekyeh, whose numerical values are 130, 140, and 122. the sum of the

d, for its specifically our captivation with the romantic idea of infusing reality with divinity that is in perpetual danger of leading us astray into the quicksand of materialism .adapted from likutei torah, beginning of parashat terumah 339 parashat terumah [second installment] the portion of the torah read this week discusses the tabernacle. the inner chamber of the tabernacle house the ark of the covenant, which contained the tablets of the covenant, on which we engraved the ten commandments. there were actually three arks, one inside the other.1 this reflects the fact that there are three names elokim in z feir anpin of atzilut, corresponding to [its] binah, gevurah, and malchut. the numerical value of these is 258, the numerical value of haran. betzalel made three arks corresponding

edes g-d fs call ggo forth h to abraham at the beginning of parashat lech lecha, is gand terah [abraham fs father] died in haran. h significantly, as a word, haran means ganger, h signifying g-d fs frustration with mankind fs rejection of him prior to abraham.3 thus, these three names elokim constitute the full manifestation of g-d fs attributes of severity. the three arks that made up the ark of the covenant were intended to counterbalance these names elokim. since the top of the supernal tree is binah and its bottom is malchut, the inner and outer arks were made of gold, whereas the middle ark, corresponding to gevurah, was made of wood. since chochmah in a way transcends human intellect and rationality, being a revelation of some insight from gbeyond, h it is in contexts like this one e

or the 258 of havayah. this is how the ark counteracts, or gsweetens, h the three names elokim. know as well that the ark is the secret of yesod of abba. yesod of abba is the drive within the initial insight of chochmah toward self-actualization. it becomes the mochin, or divine consciousness, of z feir anpin, the emotional partzuf which is the prinicple partzuf of atzilut. housing the tablets of the covenant, which encapsulated the entire torah, the ark can be seen as the vehicle through which g-d fs plan for creation is transmitted to the world. this, too, is how the ark transforms the world of elokim, the ruthless and unrelenting laws of nature, into havayah, the mercy and goodness of g-d fs presence. as you know, yesod possesses three shells: the foreskin, the mucous membrane, and the

alludes to the brain within [the head, alluded to by the yud [of the name havayah. for the [tablets] were initially one tablet, as indicated by the fact that the word for gtablets h [luchot] is written such that it can be read gtablet h [luchat. because of the sin of the golden calf they were made into two. gand he gave to moses when he finished speaking with him on mt. sinai, the two tablets of the covenant, tablets of stone, written with the finger of g-d. h5 in this verse, describing how g-d gave moses the tablets of the covenant and moses descended with them from mt. sinai (only to find the jewish people engaged in the sin of the golden calf, the word for gtablets of c h (luchot) appears twice. both times it is written without a vav before the final tav, the usual indication of femini

be aware and conscious of g-d fs unity much more directly than it is now. since the sin of the golden calf, in which the jewish people insisted on an intermediary between them and g-d (which they originally conceived of as moses, but in his absence demanded a substitute, the human mind functions on the principle of duality and balance, contrast and juxtaposition represented by the twin tablets of the covenant. this most likely ties in with the teaching of the sages that had the first tablets not been shattered, there would have been no need for the oral torah. this obviously is not referring to the part of the oral torah that explicates the written torah, for would had to have been in any case. rather, it is referring to the dialectic process of talmudic logic and exegesis through which th

levites manifest strict severity. they therefore cannot connect with the priests [as they do in their spiritual archetype. this is why the showbread is eaten only by the priests, who manifest chochmah .translated from sefer halikutim 12 joshua 3:3. 13 deuteronomy 21:5. 347 parashat terumah [fourth installment] in this torah portion, g-d tells moses to make an ark in which to house the tablets of the covenant. from the top cover of this ark is to protrude two cherubs. regarding the ark-cover and the cherubs, there are those of the opinion that the cherubs are [manifestations of] z feir anpin and nukva, and there are others of the opinion that they are [manifestations of] netzach and hod [of ima, and there are still others of the opinion that they are [manifestations of] abba and ima. accor

rizal on parashat tetzaveh 348 apparently, when netzach and yesod of ima enter z feir anpin, this somehow completes yesod of ima, as will be now stated, and this sets in motion the proper functioning of the cherubs/ark-cover, the revelation of g-d fs will through the torah. when yesod of ima is completed, yesod of abba.which is the torah. becomes manifest. and where is it manifest? in the ark [of the covenant, which [manifests] malchut of ima. when yesod of ima, i.e, the womb of the mother, is ready, the yesod of abba, the father fs procreative organ, is aroused to fertilize it. insight is drawn into the mind when the mind has created in itself a vacuum, a womb, an awareness that it needs to be filled. this is possible only if the individual feels a sense of bitul, selflessness, a willingn

same numerical value with the word for gnature h (ha-teva, hei-tet-beit-ayin, 5+ 9+ 2+ 70= 86, reflecting the fact that nature or the natural order that pervades creation conceals the divine energy behind and within it. the gateway to divine consciousness in this world, which contravenes the fa .ade of nature, is the torah. thus, just as the physical ark(s) of the tabernacle housed the tablets of the covenant, which encapsulated the entire written and oral torah, the spiritual ark(s, the three names elokim of atzilut, conceal within them and thereby channel into the world the divine consciousness of the name havayah. since the root of the [sefirotic] tree from above is binah and from below is malchut, the inner and outer arks were made of gold, while the inner ark was made of wood. this is

ccumb to them. his circumcision thus helps him not engage in forbidden marital relations, including relations with his wife during her period. furthermore, circumcision indicates that man is the servant of g-d, stamped with his seal. as such, he will certainly not transgress his master fs command. 4 genesis 3:16. the arizal on parashat tazria 451 the torah refers to circumcision as the gsign h of the covenant between g-d and the jewish people. the jewish is thus gbranded h as g-d fs servant, and this awareness serves to remind him that he is responsible to a higher authority. therefore the commandment of circumcision was placed between the commandments concerning menstrual impurity and the impurity induced by tzara fat, for circumcision protects him from both. he will not engage in sexual

person. yesod of z feir anpin* further on in this portion of the torah, moses describes the results of the people abandoning their covenant with g-d. this passage, known as the gthe reproof h (tochachah)8 consists of exactly 98 curses [these curses] are all a punishment for the blemish caused in [the sefirah of] yesod. this is the mystical meaning of the phrase ga sword avenging the vengeance of the covenant. h9 this whole passage is referred to by the torah itself as a gcovenant h (brit).10 simply stated, a covenant or pact is an agreement between two parties sealed by the clause that if the pact is abrogated there will be consequences. the existence of consequences cements the relationship and makes it serious (or greal h) for the parties involved. as we have explained previously, the s

d, and to my kindred. 10:31 and he said, leave us not, i pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes. 10:32 and it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the lord shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee. 10:33 and they departed from the mount of the lord three days journey: and the ark of the covenant of the lord went before them in the three days journey, to search out a resting place for them. 10:34 and the cloud of the lord [was] upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. 10:35 and it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that moses said, rise up, lord, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee. 10:36 and when it rested, he said, r

andment of the lord? but it shall not prosper. 14:42 go not up, for the lord [is] not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies. 14:43 for the amalekites and the canaanites [are] there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the lord, therefore the lord will not be with you. 14:44 but they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the lord, and moses, departed not out of the camp. 14:45 then the amalekites came down, and the canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them [even] unto hormah. 15:1 and the lord spake unto moses, saying, 15:2 speak unto the children of israel, and say unto them, when ye be come into the land of your habitations, which i give unto you, 15:3 and will mak

sand. 25:10 and the lord spake unto moses, saying, 25:11 phinehas, the son of eleazar, the son of aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that i consumed not the children of israel in my jealousy. 25:12 wherefore say, behold, i give unto him my covenant of peace: 25:13 and he shall have it, and his seed after him [even] the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his god, and made an atonement for the children of israel. 25:14 now the name of the israelite that was slain [even] that was slain with the midianitish woman [was] zimri, the son of salu, a prince of a chief house among the simeonites. 25:15 and the name of the midianitish woman that was slain [was] cozbi, the daughter of zur;

eritance, as [ye are] this day. 4:21 furthermore the lord was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that i should not go over jordan, and that i should not go in unto that good land, which the lord thy god giveth thee [for] an inheritance: 4:22 but i must die in this land, i must not go over jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land. 4:23 take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the lord your god, which he made with you, and make you a graven image [or] the likeness of any [thing] which the lord thy god hath forbidden thee. 4:24 for the lord thy god [is] a consuming fire [even] a jealous god. 4:25 when thou shalt beget children, and children s children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt [yourselves] and make a graven image [or]

nce thou shalt seek the lord thy god, thou shalt find [him] if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 4:30 when thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee [even] in the latter days, if thou turn to the lord thy god, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; 4:31 (for the lord thy god [is] a merciful god) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. 4:32 for ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that god created man upon the earth, and deuteronomy page 106 [ask] from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been [any such thing] as this great thing [is] or hath been heard like it? 4:33 did [ever] people hear the voice of god speaking out

ayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. 7:11 thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which i command thee this day, to do them. 7:12 wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the lord thy god shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: 7:13 and he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 7:14 thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall

, how thou provokedst the lord thy god to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the lord. 9:8 also in horeb ye provoked the lord to wrath, so that the lord was angry with you to have destroyed you. 9:9 when i was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone [even] the tables of the covenant which the lord made with you, then i abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, i neither did eat bread nor drink water: 9:10 and the lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of god; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which the lord spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. 9:11 and it came to

read nor drink water: 9:10 and the lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of god; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which the lord spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. 9:11 and it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights [that] the lord gave me the two tables of stone [even] the tables of the covenant. 9:12 and the lord said unto me, arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of egypt have corrupted [themselves] they are quickly turned aside out of the way which i commanded them; they have made them a molten image. 9:13 furthermore the lord spake unto me, saying, i have seen this people, and, behold, it [is] a stiffnecked people: 9:14

ave made them a molten image. 9:13 furthermore the lord spake unto me, saying, i have seen this people, and, behold, it [is] a stiffnecked people: 9:14 let me alone, that i may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and i will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. 9:15 so i turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant [were] in my two hands. 9:16 and i looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the lord your god [and] had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the lord had commanded you. 9:17 and i took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. 9:18 and i fell down before the lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nigh

ded me. 10:6 and the children of israel took their journey from beeroth of the children of jaakan to mosera: there aaron died, and there he was buried; and eleazar his son ministered in the priest s office in his stead. 10:7 from thence they journeyed unto gudgodah; and from gudgodah to jotbath, a land of rivers of waters. 10:8 at that time the lord separated the tribe of levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the lord, to stand before the lord to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day. 10:9 wherefore levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the lord [is] his inheritance, according as the lord thy god promised him. 10:10 and i stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the lord hearkened unto me at that time also [an

ould god it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 28:68 and the lord shall bring thee into egypt again with ships, by the way whereof i spake unto thee, thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy [you] 29:1 these [are] the words of the covenant, which the lord commanded moses to make with the children of israel in the land of moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in horeb. 29:2 and moses called unto all israel, and said unto them, ye have seen all that the lord did before your eyes in the land of egypt unto pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; 29:3 the great temptations which thine eyes have

imstone, and salt [and] burning [that] it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of sodom, and gomorrah, admah, and zeboim, which the lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: 29:24 even all nations shall say, wherefore hath the lord done thus unto this land? what [meaneth] the heat of this great anger? 29:25 then men shall say, because they have forsaken the covenant of the lord god of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of egypt: 29:26 for they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and [whom] he had not given unto them: 29:27 page 121 deuteronomy and the anger of the lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book: 2

ses, but there seem to be two piles of stones intended, one of "great stones" that are plastered (mortared) together, and another of "whole stones" that serve as an altar. both (if indeed they are two piles) are to be inscribed with the law of god. in following out the command of moses, joshua first has the representatives of the tribes carry the stones across the river before allowing the ark of the covenant to pass "and joshua said unto them, pass over before the ark of the lord your god into the midst of jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of israel (josh. 4:5. the twelve representatives of the tribes took up a stone each "and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them

preserved in the mysticism of the kabbalah. kabbalists believe that the holy torah is not merely a record of god's pronouncements and laws, but the living embodiment of god. the word of god is god, particularly the written word, which among the jews has always been regarded as the holiest of all manifest things. the temple at jerusalem was built with the sole purpose of housing the sacred ark of the covenant, and the ark in its turn existed only to carry the fragments of the stone tablets delivered to moses on mt. sinai, and the fragments themselves were only considered sacred because of the words inscribed upon them. ultimately, everything comes down to the written word. when god speaks in the fourteenth key, his words become visible upon the air, written in enochian characters of fire

ereby forging an essential link between shekhinah and blessing, a link that is dependent, moreover, on the fact that shekhinah is like a vessel that holds the overflow of the blessing received from the emanations above her. at the conclusion of the relevant passage, nahmanides draws the obvious conclusion: for the word this [zo t] alludes to the blessing [berakhah, which is the torah, and this is the covenant [berit, as it is written this is my covenant [zo t beriti (isa 59:21. 258. david ben yehudah he-hasid, sefer ha-gevul, ms jtsa mic. 2197, fol. 25b. 259. in zohar 2:51a, the verse be-zo t yavo aharon el ha-qodesh (lev 16:3) is cited to anchor the idea that the way to approach the king is through the angelic mediator, sheliha de-malkka be-kholla, the angel of the king in all things. thi
