Arose that elder and said to him: ‘Rabbi! Rabbi! I adjure you with this higher hidden point, descending [Var. ḥot ] here to reveal the hidden mystery! And I am not doing this to adjure you for my own honour, but for the honour of the Shekhinah, to show the glory of this treasured, hidden point, of which it is stated: (Job 28:21) And it is unapparent to the eyes of all life... And upon it is stated: A path the vulture knows not... etc. (Job 28:7)
Meanwhile, behold Rabbi ascended high into the air, to take permission from that point which is hidden there.
