Ten Sefirot without matter, and twenty-two letters of foundation: Three mothers, seven pairs, and twelve simple ones.
Ten matterless Sefirot: The number of ten fingers, five against five, covenant of the One fixed in the middle, like a word of the tongue or circumcision of the genitals.
Ten are the numbers of the matterless sefirot. Ten and not nine, ten and not eleven. Understand with wisdom and be wise with understanding, examine them and glean from them. Render the matter to one’s Creator, and return the Maker to [the Maker's] site.
