And the mixed multitude demanded flesh, and He gave it to them – and what is written? (Num. 11:33) The flesh was still between their teeth, before it had been chewed, and the anger of Y”Y... etc.

And of this flesh, the Masters of the Mishnah determined, that it was flesh which descended from heaven, that this was the manna that the mixed multitude ate, even so they the sages said about it:¹ ‘nothing impure [Var. evil] descends from the heavens’.

footnotes: ¹ BT Sanhedrin 59b

And the mystery of this flesh¹, what is it? But as it is stated: (Gen. 6:3) *... ‘in that also’*¹² he is flesh.

And this mystery has been transmitted to the wise of heart. And thisbasar¹ in reverse is shever¹¹, and upon it is stated: (Gen. 42:19) ... provision¹ for the hunger of your houses. If they merited, then the meat was holy, for it is stated of it: (Job 19:26) ... and from my flesh I shall perceive God...

And if they do not protect this ‘flesh’¹ – the sign of the covenant – it is transformed for them to ‘breakage’¹.

[Var. I found]

every Holy Name that is comprised of two letters, such as: (Is. 26:4) ... because in YaH Y”Y is the everlasting rock, is derived from Ḥokhmah, and of three letters derives from Binah, and of four letters derives from the Lower Shekhinah, and of five derives from the five sephirot, and of six derives from the Righteous-One¹, and of seven and nine is also in it¹.

Every Name Of ten is of the Lower Shekhinah¹, which is: (Num. 28:5) *And a tenth of an eiphah of fine flour... *and through Her, tithes are taken, and because She is inclusive of ten, it is stated of Her:² ‘the Divine Presence³ does not reside in less than ten.’

Of the cantillation note zarqa¹: this crownlet² is Yod¹, and its ‘thread’ is Vav¹. And they the sages have actually established:³ ‘They the men of Jericho would ‘wind around’ the Shm’a’, with its following verse: (Deut. 6:5) And you shall love... * *And they would not interrupt between them, because the letter Yod¹ is a pearl stone, holy, precious.

A ‘sling’ is the lip, comprising five constructs, which are: A-Ḥ-H-A B-U-M-Ph etc. And this is the lesser Hei¹².

footnotes: ¹ ה ² 5

The five stones of ‘the sling’ – this is higher Hei¹² – and they are the five words of: (Deut. 6:4) Hear Israel Y”Y ELoQeYNU Y”Y.

footnotes: ¹ ה ² 5

The five stones are madeeḥad¹. The ‘winding’ of all of them is Vav²³, which then comprises the six words of the unity, which are: Hear Israel Y”Y ELoQeYNU Y”Y One.

footnotes: ¹ One ² ו ³ 6

And with that winding, one needs to encompass ‘the sling’, and to lengthen with it, this stone is comprised of five [Var. ‘of ten’], until it elevates Her infinitely. And the mystery of the matter: (Deut. 17:20) ... in order that the days of his kingdom be lengthened...

When this stone wishes to effect judgement upon’Amaleq, or upon ‘the other sides’, and thus also with the wicked, it takes from Gevurah, and through it are included all of the sephirot – and all are called through it: ‘severities’¹. And when it wishes to bestow grace and kindness in the world, it takes from Ḥesed, and all the sephirot are included in it – and they are called ‘benevolences’¹. And when it wishes to be merciful upon the world, it takes from the Middle Pillar², and all the sephirot are included in it – and they are called ‘mercies’¹. And this Yod³ is in every aspect.

If so, how is it individually recognised when it takes from the Patriarchs? But it is recognised with vowel-pointing. When it is vowel-pointed from the aspect of qametz¹ – it has taken from Ḥesed, and when it is vowel-pointed from the aspect of shva¹ – it has taken [Var. suckled] from Gevurah, and when it is vowel-pointed from ḥolem¹ – it is from the aspect of the Middle Pillar, for these three vowel-points are: water and fire and wind.

(Gen. 4:9) And He said: ‘Where¹ is Abel your brother?

Come see: These two letters EY composed of Aleph¹ and Yod¹ which were withdrawn from It the Name ADNY, – with which he Abel sinned – caused his death, Aleph¹ – the ‘wondrous and hidden designer’, Yod¹ – thought.

Rabbi El’azar said to him: ‘Father, behold there are many thoughts. Lower Shekhinah is called ‘thought’, Higher Ḥokhmah is called ‘thought’, and higher and higher is ‘thought’, and above all of them, is the ‘thought’ above which there is nothing higher, and it is the Hidden of all hidden-ones, the Highest of all high-ones.

If you are saying that the thought of Adam ascended to there – surely not! For it is stated of him: (Gen. 3:10) *... and I was afraid, for I was naked, and I hid... *For the word ‘naked’¹ shows that he was stripped of his garment, and because of that, it is stated of the Father of humanity: ... and I hid, and of the son: (Ex. 3:6) ... and Moses concealed...’

He said to him: ‘My son, in all did he Adam sin: in ‘thought’ – which is the garment of ‘hidden thought’ – and in ‘hidden thought’.

And this was his death, for thought – hidden of all hidden – was withdrawn from him, which is ‘life of the living’¹, for in the place where it hidden thought exists, there is no death there, and he sinned in hidden thought, and he remained
