Notes

Sepher Yetzirah 1.3 Ten Sephiroth of Nothingness, the number of ten fingers, five opposite five with a singular covenant exactly in the middle in the circumcision of the tongue and the circumcision of the flesh.

Sepher Yetzirah 1.5 Ten Sephiroth of Nothingness: their measure is ten which have no end:

A depth of beginning, a depth of end;

A depth of good, a depth of evil;

A depth of above, a depth of below;

A depth of East, a depth of West;

A depth of North, a depth of South.

A single Master, God faithful King, dominates over them all from His holy dwelling until the end of time.
