At transcendens er descendens, fremgår af det ”farlige” vers (Ez.1,14), der er udeladt i Septuaginta, og hvor chayyoth beskrives som bazaq, lyn. I det fjerde vers lignes de ved chashmal, ”funklende malm”.
”It has been established that the word hashmal refers to the fiery beasts that speak, and they are the splendor that shines, it goes up and down, the fire that is burning. It exists and does not exist, for there is no one who can understand it in one place.
No eyes or vision can master it. It is and it is not, in one place and then in another place.
It goes up and down. In this appearance is hidden that which is hidden and concealed that which is concealed.
This is the mystery called hashmal. Prophets must see, know, and contemplate within this with the vision of the heart and eye more than anything else.”
Gud skaber verden gennem mennesket. Derfor er hans ma (hvad) også mere centralt end hans mi (hvem).
MEM (40) + HE (5) = 45
ALEPH (1) + DALETH (4) + MEM (40) = 45
Det er koach ma, kraften i hvad, chokhma, der sammen med Bina, der tager objekt som forståelse, ”rejser sig støtter syv”. Hvis du stabler de fire bogstaver i tetragrammaton oven på hinanden, får du noget, der påfaldende ligner et menneske, med He som henholdsvis arme og ben.
I Guds billede skabte han det!
