Rabbi Yehuda ben Hakana said: One scripture says, "and ten did not see light as one" A cryptic reference, possibly a variation of Job 3:16 or a mystical calculation of the ten Sephirot in one place. It is good that the leaven is hidden, etc., and also the tree and the lowly Kasika. The third scripture comes and mediates between them: "it shall not be darkened from him" for the night is as the day, as wisdom.
Rabbi Berachiah said: What is the greatness of "and the earth was"? What is the meaning of "leaven" (Chametz)? That they came under terror (Hatat) and beauty (Pe'er). Let there not be terror. And what is "straw" (Teben)? The matter of the speed of human beings, and Parvah referring to gold or a specific location for the wild one. And what is "void" (Bohu)? A thing that has a covering within it, as it is written of them: "in it is worthy." And why was the mixture cheapened like "What" (Mah)? Kapparah and Arzatil, Barbara, and the word Ruhahazat is called "Blessing," as it is said: "and full of my blessing." And from the day he shall pursue it. And "Sea" (Yam) is nothing but the Torah, as it is said: "and it is wider than the sea." And what is "Blessing"? Rather, every place where it is said "What" (Mah) is from the "full of my blessing" at my head. And "Head" is nothing but Wisdom, as it is said: "The beginning of wisdom is the fear [of the Lord]." And "Wisdom" is nothing but "Blessing," as it is said: "And God blessed Solomon," and it is written: "And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon."
A parable: To a king who married his daughter to his son and gave her to him as his wedding gift. He said to him: "Do with her as you wish." And what is Ruhahaza? It is a blessing, a language of "blessing" (Baruch). Perhaps it is a language of "kneeling" (Berech), as it is written: "For to Me every knee shall bow." Since the place where all is in you, etc. Selah.
To those who go out to see the face of the King, and they do not know where the King is. Where is the King? And she ceased. Where is the King? And she ceased. And after that, they ask: "Where is the King?" Therefore, "For to Me every knee shall bow," and the upper wings.
In your eyes, etc. Like yesterday, for it shall pass from here onwards. Honor me first, etc., at all times, and the rest forever, as it is said: "And His praise is silent for You." What is "And His praise"? A greatness. His praise is for the generation of his betrothal (Arisuto). What is "Praise"? Because of his betrothal. And what is the greatness? Because of his betrothal, for all his acclaim is beautiful. And what is "Blessing"? Rather, all his acclaim is that trees were made in his garden, and even the fruits of your fields shall drop, which milk always. And also you brought near to the groom, and the rest of the foundation of his formation is to water it from the spring of the "Beginning" (Reshit). And you saw that all is good for all foundations. And if you say "six leaven," all of them he needs; it is forbidden, and the business was cheapened for the stranger.
The Rabbi sat and they said, and he expounds: "And full of blessing is the Sea," and their spirit shall be weakened from the letter He (H). Because if he divides the punctuation of the word, Heaven forbid. And they returned, for he is circumcised to them, as it is said: "And their spirit is from the sea." And they are circumcised to their spirit, as it is said: "For the land of the south [Negev] you have given me," and it is translated as "the land of the south and the height." And upon foundations and I have cut, and the sacrifice of the letter He in Abraham is more than the other letters. Rather, etc., that all the tenants of man shall merit the Living (Hayyah), H.H., as it is said: "He is compared to the sea as in all," etc. The building was completed, and it is written: "For in the image of God He made man." And Abraham with the miracle of H.H., the four letters A-B-R of man, "What" (Mah), and he shall inherit it. And there is praise to say, rather "Poor" (Rash), H.H., even "Here" (Koh) as in the general rule. And He saved him, to hasten to the King, that he should lead him to his lands. And one was established for him, simply for his building, for the length of your days.
He said to his son: "From what is before me, they say 'Hallelujah'." He said: "Prepare that they found, it shall not be exalted." The Lord labored that they shortened. He said to him: "Hasten the rope and the child," and it is written: "The Lord shall weaken from their spirit." And you have no rope and every height and dominion that they shortened and knelt. Rabbi Moshe Sa'uran said: For they were calling from the horns of the earth, what is Sa'uran? That one must hide from the whole world. And it is written: "He has also set the world in their heart." And "World" (Olam) is nothing but "Hidden" (He'elam).
The Torah said: "I am, and I preceded the world." Learn from this: "Worlds." And what is "What" (Mah)? From the "Full," and I preceded him. T for my predecessors of the earth, as you said "In the beginning" (Bereshit), "Created" (Bara). And if "Created," "Created" as the will of the rope, and afterwards "God" (Elohim). And what is "Knelt"? A digging. And the "Poor" (Rash) agreed. And "You" and "I," and also this, and "He made the shepherd." God created "Behold" (Hiv) and there is His place in peace. And what is "Praise"? And there is His place, a covenant created as a completion. As it is said: "He makes peace in His high places." Salsur, which is Michael, the minister of the species of "What" (Mah).
