ourselves." And again in Job xxiii. 13: "And He existeth in the unity, and who can turn Him aside?"
[For Macroprosopus is only the commencement of manifested Deity .]
63. (Therefore in the third person, HVA, Hoa, is He called who is the Concealed One, and is not found of
any. He, who cometh not before the eyes, of man; He, who is not called by the Name.
["He, who is not called by the Name;" for, as I have frequently before noticed, the first Sephira is not
comprehended in the Tetragrammaton.]
64. (Hitherto hath the disquisition been concerning Microprosopus, to whom also was referred that fulness of
form of the letter H, He , wherein it is written by the duplicated HH. But now another point is taken into
consideration, namely, concerning the remaining two modes of writing that letter, when It is written with A,
Aleph, and with I, Yod; of which the former is made in the name MH, Mah, and the latter in the names OB,
Aub, and SG, Seg; which two forms are given conjoined in the name AHIH, Eheieh (translated "I am" in
Exodus). Therefore are to be considered) HA and HI. (Whilst, therefore, it is written HA, this form can be
resolved into HVA, Hoa, he, that pronoun of the third person concerning which mention hath been made
above: because A, Aleph, in itself containeth V, Vau; to which latter letter the middle line, in the form of the
character of the letter Aleph, can be assimilated. And thus, while it is written HA, the word HVA can be
symbolized; but not vice versâ. For although) V in itself containeth A (because the figure of the letter A may
be said to be composed of VIV, if its middle line be divided; so, that also, without taking the whole character
A into consideration, it may be read HV: this HV) nevertheless doth not contain in itself any real form of
writing H, so that it can be read HV or HI.
[The reader must remember that the argument in this section is concerning the shape of the Hebrew letters
mentioned, alone, and that neither their numerical value nor articulate power is taken into consideration. The
shape of the Hebrew letters can be seen in the Table of the Alphabet.]
65. (Moreover, in that same form of writing HA, like as A passeth into V, so that HVA, Hoa, may be read: so
also) A is pronounced Aleph (and this is the second way of pronouncing the writing HA, which simply is
referred unto MH, Mah. But, moreover, also) Aleph is pronounced as IVD, Yod (because the form of the
letter A is usually resolved into these three letters, so that Yod may be above, Vau in the middle, and
Daleth below. So that same written form HA in itself comprehendeth also that sublimer triune idea. But not
vice versâ, from HI is HA to be understood, for I, Yod, is not pronounced Aleph; but IVD is pronounced as I,
Yod , which is concealed with all concealments, and to which VD are not joined (like as that form is to be
found in the shape of the letter Aleph.)
[H, He, in Hebrew is the definite article; so that H-A may be read He-Aleph, the Aleph.]
66. (But this form, which in itself includeth V, Vau, and D, Daleth, is usual in the inferior paths, and also in
the father. And) Woe! when I, Yod, irradiateth not the letters V, Vau , and D, Daleth; (and much more) when
I, Yod, is taken away from V, Vau, D, Daleth, through the sins of the world; (because then) the nakedness of
them all is discovered.
67. Therefore it is written, Lev. xviii. 7: "The nakedness of thy father thou shalt not uncover." (For VD, Vau
Daleth are the same as H, He; and when it is written IVD, it is the same as if it were called IH (namely if V,
Vau, be inserted in D, Daleth ). Woe! when Yod is taken away from He (that is, wisdom from understanding,
which is the conceiving mother) because it is written, Lev. xviii. 7. "And the nakedness of thy mother thou
shalt not uncover; she is thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness." Revere her; she is thy mother;
because it is written, Prov. ii. 3: "Because thou shalt call understanding thy mother." (This is arrived at by
reading the word AM in this passage with the pointing Tsere, instead of with the usual Chireq pointing.)

["VD = H." This is again referring to the shape of the letter in question.]
[I have already stated in the Introduction, for the benefit of those of my readers who are not Hebrew or
Chaldee scholars. that the Hebrew alphabet is chiefly consonantal, the vowels being supplied by small points
or marks placed close to the letters.]
CHAPTER III.
1. Nine are said to be the conformations of the beard (of Microprosopus). For that which remaineth concealed
(that is, the other four forms, which meanwhile are not found in Microprosopus), and which is not
manifested, is supernal and venerable (that is, properly and of itself doth not refer to Microprosopus, but
nevertheless descendeth upon him in another manner).
[It must be remembered that the beard of Macroprosopus had thirteen divisions, therefore the other four
forms are the difference between the nine of Microprosopus and the thirteen of Macroprosopus.]
2. Thus, therefore, is this most excellent beard arranged. The hairs overhang the hairs from before the
opening of the ears, even unto the beginning of the mouth. (This is the first conformation.)
3. From the one beginning even unto the other beginning (of the mouth. This is the second
conformation namely, the beard on the upper lip).
4. Beneath the two nostrils existeth a path filled with hairs, so that it appeareth not. (This is the third
conformation.)
5. The cheeks extend on one side and on the other. (This is the fourth conformation.)
6. In them appear apples red as roses. (This is the fifth conformation.)
7. In one tress hang down those hairs strong and black, even unto the breast. (This is the sixth conformation.)
8. Red are the lips as roses, and bare. (This is the seventh conformation.)
9. Short hairs descend through the place of the throat and cover the position of the neck. (This is the eighth
conformation.) 10. Long and short descend alike. (This is the ninth conformation.)
11. Whosoever is found among them, is found strong and robust. (That is, he who directeth his meditations
herein.)
12. It is written, Ps. cxviii, 4: "I called upon Yah, IH, in distress." (In this place) David commemorateth
(these) nine (conformations) even unto (those words) "all nations compassed me about," in order that they
(the nine above mentioned) might surround and protect him.
13. (It is written, Gen. i. 12) "And the earth brought forth germination, the herb yielding seed after its kind;
and the tree bearing fruit, whose seed is therein, according to its kind."
14. Those nine (paths of Microprosopus) are evolved from the perfect name (that is, from the understanding
or mother, in whom they were conceived; for unto her pertaineth the name IHVH, which is Tetragrammaton
expressed and Elohim hidden, which form the nine in power). And thence are they planted into the perfect
name, like as it is written, Gen. ii. 8: "And IHVH ALHIM planted" (that is, these nine letters of the perfect
masculine and feminine name, so that they may be a garden that is, Microprosopus in action).
