Chapter 27

The Twelve Divisions of the Heavens


1

And it came to pass that the malak of YHVH, Qaphsiel (קפץיאל, God is my hastening), did open his mouth again and he did speak unto me saying:

2

Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Joseph and of Levi, I shall teach thee now of the symbols that thou did engrave upon that sword which thou did set apart to use in glorifying יהוה (YHVH).

3

And I shall tell thee now of the twelve symbols etched upon the hilt (the space between the handle and the blade); and these are the months, for these twelve symbols are etched upon the night skies:

4

For behold, all things are given in cycles, and degree by degree doth all things ascend unto HaShem YHVH.

¶ And these are the twelve signs, even Hei, Vav, Zayin, Chet, Tet, Yod, Lamed, Nun, Samech, Ayin, Tzaddi, Qof;

6

And Hei is that path of purity of faith, and Vav is that path of sanctification, and Zayin is that path of wisdom, and Chet is that path of divine fire,

7

And Tet is that path of revelation, and Yod is that path of divine order, and Lamed is that path of divine judgement, and Nun is that path of the covenant,

8

And Samech is that path of divine truth, and Ayin is that path of eternal life, and Tzaddi is that path of rebirth, and Qof is that path of service.

9

And these are written upon the night sky, for with these did YHVH Elohim divide up the twelve divisions of the heavens, to tell the months and the years, and to tell the stories and that the seers should see.

10

And in wisdom did Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator) YHVH Elohim create these,

11

That mankind would learn to know good from evil and evil from good, and good from the good and evil from the evil:

12

For eternal happiness is reserved for the just, and wickedness then cannot be just, for wickedness is an obsession and can then never be happiness, for the unrighteous desire is never fulfilled.

13

But these in the twelve signs is the dragon that biteth his own tail, for in righteousness doth the Son of Man come into this world, to fulfill all righteousness;

14

And even as that great serpent, the leviathan, should swallow up the seas of the abyss, the Son of Man is as a dragon that shall breathe fire to protect the people of the Covenant (Israel), and destroy that serpent in his wrath.

¶ And Hei, she is written upon the stars as a man with his arms outstretched, to behold that which Bora Olam (בורא עולם Creator of the World) has made, with hands open to receive of the Breath, Ruach Hakodesh.

16

She is seen as the straight path with three steps, for Moses did say: Let they who are born in that first month be honest, and of great sympathy, giving generously unto all they who are in need of succor in HaShem (The Name) יהוה (YHVH).

17

And let mankind see the revelation of יהוה (YHVH) in knowledge and wisdom, that they may know how to succor those in need, even as YHVH Raphacha (יהוה רפאך YHVH Heals/Restores) seeth their needs;

18

For in Hei is the Shekinah, both the Presence of Elohim in the Heavens and the Breath of Elohim upon the earth found, for in Her is the revelation found.

19

And she is drawn as a leaning man, seeking to behold the revelation from the breath of YHVH, connecting mankind to the Creator in humility.

20

¶ And Vav, she is written upon the stars as the straight path and the hook, to unify that which Yachad Yachid Echad (יחיד יחיד אחד, the Unifier set apart to unite us all) hath named Israel, connecting the heavens and the earth.

21

She is seen as the straight path with a single step, and it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that second month live a life that is average, full of passion with bountiful grace within them.

22

Yea, and she is the nail that ties the heavens to the earth, that connects mankind and Ha’Elohim, for she is wholeness and completeness and shall pierce the Son of Man that the restoration might come.

23

For the nail must pierce Him that He be lifted up, for Kodesh Israel (קדוש ישראל Holy One of Israel) is the bridge between the four worlds of Elohim Chaiyim (אלהים חיים the living God), the Word between thought and action, even the ladder.

24

And she is drawn as that path from the earth to the heavens, which is that path from the heavens to the earth, as a bridge between mankind and the Creator.

25

¶ And Zayin, she is written upon the stars as a man tilling the earth, he diggeth the hole to planteth the seed that he and his family might eat of the bread of life that sprouteth from wisdom.

26

And she is seen as the hilt of a sword to some, and the mattock (hand plow) to others, for it is even as Moses did say: They who are born in that third month, let thy generosity never waver.

27

For in wisdom doth mankind be as one with one another and with the earth, for when the earth is one, then the heavens and the earth will again be one, thus fulfilling their creation.

28

And let the labor of mankind be that of life, for this is wisdom: death is but a shadow defeated even as the darkness of night is defeated in the morn at the rising of the sun.

29

And she is drawn as a straight path with a beginning and an ending, which is the life of mankind, from that first breath of life that brings life in, until that last breath that exhales life from the body, and the light returns from whence it was sent out.

30

¶ And Chet, she is written upon the stars as sukkot, the veil of the tent that separates the upper world and the lower world, that mankind might first be made ready before lifting the veil.

31

And she is seen as sukkot (the tent flap), for it is even as Moses did say: let they who are born in that fourth month, let them be noble, taking the path forward when others are fearful;

32

And thus did Moses teach that when every child is eight days old, they shall be blessed and instructed in teshuvah, that they may be circumcised of the heart when they come of age.

33

It is on the eighth day of creation that the soul is born, being now the first day of the creation of the neshamah, the light being divided from the darkness, a doorway opening in the kelim (vessels) of the heart.

34

And in the circumcision of the heart, the qliphoth (husk) is removed, that Ha’Or En Sof (the everlasting light or the light of Christ) might shine forth to heal this creation, uniting the upper world of the heavens and the lower world of the earth.

35

And she is drawn as the Holy of Holies of the heavens and the Holy of Holies of the earth separated by the veil, a protection for the earth until she is ready for her marriage covenant.

36

¶ And Tet, she is written upon the stars as the kli (vessel) that holds the light of En Sof (Ha’Or En Sof, the everlasting light or the light of Christ) that gives unto mankind the desires of their hearts,

37

And when she is clean, the light may shine forth to heal this creation, but when her kilem be filthy, then so too are the works of mankind an abomination before YHVH Elohim, for יהוה (YHVH) is Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light).

38

For it is even as Moses did say: let they who are born in that fifth month, rejoice in their stillness, that they be always well informed;

39

For thy father Joseph and thy mother Asenath did see that Yachad Yachid Echad carries with Him the breath of life, giving this light unto all they who should partake.

40

And the righteous desires of mankind doth hide away in the pride of they who loveth not YHVH their Elohim, but when that light will shine forth, all things of יהוה (YHVH) shall be restored.

41

And she is drawn as a vessel of clay or wickerwork, and at the crossroads is the path of life discovered, whether mankind shall choose the light or choose the darkness, as it has been divided within them.

42

¶ And Yod, she is written upon the stars as the right hand of יהוה (YHVH), for by the right hand are all the works of YHVH Elohim performed, for in the right hand is the power and authority of Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם Master Architect of the World) given.

43

And by the outstretched right hand did Moses do the works of יהוה (YHVH), for it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that sixth month be known for their generosity, and their willingness to give of themselves.

44

For the Voice did speak unto Moses, saying: Place thy rod in thy right hand, for it is holy unto יהוה (YHVH),

45

And by the Word of the Creator did the creation begin, and by the Yod was the works of the creation completed by Ha’Elohim, for from Yah (יה) did come the emanations (the Sefirot).

46

And by faith are all things accomplished, for without faith mankind can do nothing, but by faith and desires that shine forth from a clean kli (vessel), all that mankind will ask for in HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH) shall be given them.

47

And she is drawn as a mighty right hand and an outstretched arm, even as YHVH Elohim did bring thy fathers and thy mothers out of Egypt and the bondage of sin and death; therefore, forget not what YHVH Elohim has done.

48

¶ And Lamed, she is written upon the stars as the staff of the shepherd, to teach Israel of all the things of Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום Maker of Peace), as mankind descends and ascends the ladder, walking the thirty-two paths.

49

True learning comes from the heart, for in the heart are the kilem (vessels) that hold Ha’Or En Sof, for it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that seventh month find strength always in wisdom, and not in lofty dreams of foolishness.

50

Even as Moses said: YHVH chose Israel above all other people; therefore, circumcise the foreskin of thine heart, be ye no more stiff-necked;

51

Wherefore, let thy heart be thy guide as thou movest by the very Breath of Ha’Elohim, walk the pathways straight, and in healing;

52

For to learn of Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light) is to love the Bora Olam (בורא עולם Creator of the World), and YHVH El Racham (יהוה אל רחוּם YHVH God of Loving-kindness) is the name (HaShem) of Him.

53

And she is drawn even as she is seen in the stars, as the staff of Moses who did lead Israel out of Egypt and gave her the Torah that they should see the face of YHVH and live.

54

¶ And Nun, she is written upon the stars as the man bowing in submission to YHVH Yir’eh (יהוה יראה YHVH will provide) in righteousness, for these are the joint heirs in righteousness.

55

And the righteous man shall work as thy father, Jacob did to earn the hand of his bride,

56

For it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that eighth month keep their honor, their integrity, and their valor that they be free from back-biting and scandal.

57

For the stars that form her may be seen as a snake that would strike, or as a fish that would feed, or as a seed that doth grow up from the soil, even as they that are born in this month might be.

58

Therefore, she is drawn in humble potential for redemption that she may be brought up in the ways of the Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום //Maker of Peace).

59

¶ And Samech, she is written upon the stars as a thorny bush, for the birds and the lesser animals do hide in her for protection.

60

And it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that ninth month ever seek to know יהוה (YHVH), by deep thoughts, and by helping hands.

61

Hidden within the depths of the burning bush that Moses did see is all life eternal and everlasting;

62

Likewise, hidden within the thorny bush upon the earth is all manner of life hidden and kept safe with life ascending and descending that tree.

63

And she is drawn as the ladder that mankind might descend and ascend upon the thirty-two paths of Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם Master Architect of the World).

64

¶ And Ayin, she is written upon the stars as a horn that all they who seek righteousness might drink from the cup of YHVH Tzidqenu (יהוה צדקנוּ YHVH Our Righteousness),

65

And blow the shofar of YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (יהוה אדוֹן השבת YHVH Lord of the Sabbath) and see the truth of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth).

66

And the righteous will see the works of יהוה (YHVH), for it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that tenth month ever move forward in יהוה (YHVH), with a never-ending thirst for righteousness.

67

To see יהוה (YHVH) face to face is to know the will of Ve’Daiyan Israel (ודין ישראל Protector/Judge of Israel), the very eye of Ha’Elohim.

68

And she is drawn as the eternal eye, Ha’Or En Sof that doth see all in knowledge (Da’at) and in wisdom (Chokhmah).

Created by potrace 1.10, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2011
69

¶ And Tzaddi, she is written upon the stars as the fishhook that doth draw one in, leading to action.

70

And the Torah doth draweth Israel in, for it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that eleventh month have keen vision in planning, with a calm presence; yet they be passionate of spirit that the ways of יהוה (YHVH) be made clear.

71

There being opposition in all things, mankind may be drawn in by the ways of Seth or by the ways of Cain, for there is a path of light and there is a path of darkness,

72

And in that path of light there is life and love, but in that path of darkness there is death and Sheol (death), misery and woe.

73

And even as YHVH Yir’eh (הארי הוהי YHVH will provide) doth cast in his line to find those swimming, lost in that darkness with the light and love of Ha’Or En Sof,

74

So too doth that Adversary cast his hook into the light that he might trap those in it down into woe and darkness.

75

And she is drawn as the fishhook, or as the taches, that mankind might be caught up into the righteousness of Ha’Rachaman (ןמחרה the Merciful One).

76

¶ And Qof, she is written upon the stars as the sun in the horizon, for it riseth upon the just and the unjust alike.

77

And just as the darkness will always break with the dawn, YHVH Raphacha (ךאפר הוהי YHVH Heals/Restores) will always rise to save Israel, when she doth humble herself before יהוה (YHVH);

78

For it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that twelfth month, these being inspired by the creation of יהוה (YHVH), let them be swift in renewal;

79

And it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that thirteenth month be the peacemakers and they who may be given the blessings to unite the people in the name of יהוה (YHVH) Elohim.

80

Let these be encircled in holiness, in the new beginnings, in the restoration of all things; for all things must have a beginning and an end, for the creation is as such.

81

And she is drawn as the needle, for the ending of the year is the beginning anew, and the circle of the Creator that never begins and never ends is one eternal round.

82

¶ And these are written in the stars from the fourth day of the creation until the end thereof.
