The Ten Sefirot

Ten Sefirot of nothingness: ten and not nine, ten and not eleven. Understand with wisdom, and be wise with understanding. Examine with them and probe from them, and set the matter in its clarity, and restore the Former to His place. Ten Sefirot of nothingness: their measure is ten, for they have no end. A depth of beginning and a depth of end; a depth of good and a depth of evil; a depth of height and a depth of below; a depth of east and a depth of west; a depth of north and a depth of south. The one Lord, God the faithful King, rules over them all from His holy dwelling place and unto everlasting eternity. Ten Sefirot of nothingness: their appearance is like the sight of lightning, and their goal has no limit. His word is in them as they run forth and return, and at His command they pursue like a whirlwind, and before His throne they bow down.
