The small-faced sucklings [Var. infants], each one has four faces, and Mother lies upon them, above them, and at times She is upon them, and at times She withdraws from them.
But children who are from the innards, [Var. over whom it is stated: (Jer. 31:19) therefore my innards are moved for him], beloved children, over whom Her ‘innards are moved’, who are the Masters of Qabalah, of them it is stated: (Deut. 22:6)... do not take the mother upon the children, for Mother does not depart from them for ever.
