Twenty-two Foundation Letters:/ He placed them in a circle/ like a wall with 231 Gates./ The Circle oscillates back and forth./ A sign for this is:/ There is nothing in good higher than Delight (Oneg - ענג)/ There is nothing evil lower than Plague (Nega - נגע).
How?/ He permuted them, weighed them, and transformed them,/ Alef with them all/ and all of them with Alef,/ Bet with them all/ and all of them with Bet./ They repeat in a cycle/ and exist in 231 Gates./ It comes out that all that is formed/ and all that is spoken/ emanates from one Name.
