A NOTE ON GENESIS
And finally the word yoxn, Ha Aretz, the Earth, hath
four Letters showing its Elemental Constitution, and its Key
is 17—also Hope—Hope in the Earth as there is Hope in
Heaven. And the last letter of the verse is ¥ (the letter of
Hope), by Qabalah of Nine Chambers that number which con-
tains in itself all the properties of Protean Matters: howsoever
you may multiply it the Key of its Numbers is ever 9.
Fitting Symbol of ever-changing matter which ever in its
essence is One—one and alone!
Thus with the first appearance of the number of Matter
does the first verse of B’rasheth close: formulating in itself
the Beginning and the End of the Great Creation.
“The Characters of Heaven with Thy Finger hast thou
traced: But none can read them save he hath been taught in
Thy School.”
Wherefore closing do I name the Mighty Words:

Sephira, to preserve intact the Ten-ness of the Sephiroth. Showing how by
that very eating of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and of Evil
should come the Saving of Mankind; for Daath is the Priceless Gift of
Knowledge and Intellect whereby cometh Salvation. Wherefore also is 11 the
Key Number of the Great Saviour’s Name (m wis = 29 = 11), and this is
also in the Taro the Wheel of the Great Law, 5, the Lord of the Forces of
Life.
