And the Father is the more concealed (of the two), and the whole adhereth unto the Most Holy Ancient One. And dependeth from the Holy Influence, which is the Ornament of all Ornaments. And they, the Father and the Mother, constitute the abode, as I have said. As it is written, Prov. xxiv. 3, 4, “Through Chokmah is the abode constructed, and by Thebunah is it established, and in Däath shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.” Also it is written, Prov. xxii. 18, “For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep (_Däath_) within thee.” This is the system of all things, even as I have said, and (all things) depend from the Glorious Holy Influence. Rabbi Schimeon said: In the (former) Assembly I revealed not all things, and all those things have been concealed even until now. And I have wished to conceal them, even unto the world to come, because there also a certain question will be propounded unto me. As it is written, Isa. xxxiii. 6, “And Chokmah and Däath shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation; the fear of Tetragrammaton is His treasure,” etc., and they shall seek out Wisdom, Chokmah. Now truly thus is the will of the Most Holy and Blessed God, and without shame will I enter in before His palace. It is written, 1 Sam. ii. 3, “Since AL DOVTH, _El Daoth_,(836) is Tetragrammaton.” Daoth, or of Knowledges (plural), properly speaking, for He acquireth Daoth by inheritance. Through Daoth are all His palaces filled, as it is written, Prov. xxix, “And in Däath shall the chambers be filled.” And therefore Däath is not furthermore revealed, for It occultly pervadeth Him inwardly. And is comprehended in that brain and in the whole body, since “El Daoth is Tetragrammaton.” In the “Book of the Treatise” it is said concerning these words, “Since El Daoth is Tetragrammaton,” read not DOVTH, _Daoth_, of knowledges, but ODVTH,(837) _Edoth_, of _testimony_. For HVA, _Hoa_, He Himself, is the testimony of all things, the testimony of the two portions. And it is said, Ps. lxxviii. 5, “And He established a testimony, ODVTH, in Jacob.” Moreover, also, although we have placed that matter in the “Book of Concealed Mystery,” still also there what is mentioned of it is correct, and so all things are beautiful and all things are true. When the matter is hidden, that Father and Mother contain all things, and all things are concealed in them. And they themselves are hidden beneath the Holy Influence of the Most Ancient of all Antiquity; in Him are they concealed, in Him are all things included. HVA, _Hoa_, He Himself, is all things; blessed be Hoa, and blessed be His Name in eternity, and unto the ages of the ages. All the words of the conclave of the Assembly are beautiful, and all are holy words—words which decline not either unto the right hand or unto the left. All are words of hidden meaning for those who have entered in and departed thence, and so are they all.
