There are eight from&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;downwards, and two degrees,&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;correspond to two firmaments that are concealed and are not called by name. This is so because a name means disclosure, for anything that we do not attain, we do not know by name. Also, the number of names changes\u2014ten when beginning the count from&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>; nine when beginning from&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>; eight when beginning from&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>; and seven when beginning from&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>158) He begins the count from&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. The first name,&nbsp;<em>Koh<\/em>&nbsp;[<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>], is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;because the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>, which is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, contains&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;within it. This is because the filling of&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Dalet<\/em>, which are the shape of the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, and the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;comes out of the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;because it is those&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Dalet<\/em>&nbsp;of the filling of&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;that came out of the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>\u2014which is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>\u2014and became&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. It turns out that the two letters&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;are included in the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and this is why&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is called&nbsp;<em>Koh<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>159) The second name is&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, called&nbsp;<em>Elokim<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;in punctuation of&nbsp;<em>Elokim<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;because the river,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, is&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>, and because the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;awaken from her due to&nbsp;<em>Malchut\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;ascent to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and are not from herself. This is why her name is written with letters of&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>, which are&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;in punctuation of&nbsp;<em>Elokim<\/em>\u2014<em>Hataf<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Segol<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Holam<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Hirik<\/em>\u2014and it is not written in the letters&nbsp;<em>Elokim<\/em>, which are&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>160) The third name is&nbsp;<em>El<\/em>, greatness,&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, called \u201cthe great God.\u201d The fourth name is&nbsp;<em>Elokim<\/em>, in which the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;awaken, and this is a harsh&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Sefira<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>. The fifth name is&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, the complete perfection of faith. This is complete&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>&nbsp;and it is the&nbsp;<em>Sefira<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>. The sixth and seventh names are&nbsp;<em>Netzah<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Hod<\/em>, and they are called \u201chosts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>161) The eighth name is&nbsp;<em>El Hay<\/em>&nbsp;[Living God],&nbsp;<em>Tzadik<\/em>&nbsp;[righteous], which is&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, from which all of life comes out. It is called&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;and it is the small&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;of the Holy Name, for which the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;of the Holy Name has two&nbsp;<em>Vavs<\/em>. The first&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;and the second&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>162) The ninth name is&nbsp;<em>ADNI<\/em>, the holy&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;from which the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;come to the world. This is the last&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, the last&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;of all the names. The name&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;is inclusive. Also, it is concealed, since in the first&nbsp;<em>Sefira<\/em>\u2014the upper&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>&nbsp;[head] of all the&nbsp;<em>Roshim<\/em>&nbsp;[heads]\u2014His name is concealed and not revealed because&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;[Hebrew: I will be] means that I am destined to be revealed but now I am not revealed yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>163) \u201cAwake, O north; and come, you south; blow upon my garden.\u201d \u201cAwake, O north\u201d are the offerings that are slaughtered in the north, since they come over the thoughts that are in the secrets of the heart and the place of&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>, where the north side is left and&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;because the thoughts are at night, when there is&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>. The north wind blows at midnight, when people awaken from their sleep and David\u2019s harp, which is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>\u2014which plays for the Creator\u2014plays by itself and people\u2019s thoughts awaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>164) \u201cCome, you south\u201d are the&nbsp;<em>Shelamim<\/em>&nbsp;[lambs\/sheep] that are slaughtered in the south, the side of&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>, which is right, since they are the&nbsp;<em>Shalom<\/em>&nbsp;[peace] of the upper ones and lower ones, for offering the&nbsp;<em>Shelamim<\/em>&nbsp;extends&nbsp;<em>Shalom<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Shlemut<\/em>&nbsp;[wholeness]. These are the&nbsp;<em>Shlemut<\/em>&nbsp;of the directions of the worlds, the wholeness of everything from the side of faith,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. And because the&nbsp;<em>Shelamim<\/em>&nbsp;are the&nbsp;<em>Shalom<\/em>&nbsp;of everything, the owners eat from them and enjoy them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is so because peace is to him and to the whole world at the same degree. Sins and blames are only eaten by the priests, not by the owners, since the priests atone for them and remove their sins. Of all the offerings, the Creator favors the&nbsp;<em>Shelamim<\/em>&nbsp;the most, since they make peace in the upper ones and in the lower ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>165) But above all offerings is the incense, which is perfectly whole and comes not because of a sin or a blame or an iniquity, but because of joy. It is written, \u201cOil and perfume rejoice the heart.\u201d For this reason, incense is offered only when oil is offered, as it is written, \u201cAnd Aaron shall burn on it incense of sweet spices; every morning, when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it,\u201d so that oil and incense will be together. Oil implies&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and incense implies&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>HB<\/em>&nbsp;are always together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Shelamim<\/em>&nbsp;make peace in everything, and disputes and complaints never awaken. But incense ties the tie of faith for it extends&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>&nbsp;to the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, which is called, \u201cfaith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>166) All ten names are written in the Torah. The name of the first is&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;[I AM], the concealed upper one, as one who says, \u201cI am who I am,\u201d and it is unknown who He is. This is&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>. Afterwards, it is written, \u201cWHO I AM,\u201d which is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. This means that \u201cI AM\u201d destined to be reveled in these other&nbsp;<em>Ketarim<\/em>&nbsp;[plural of&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>], since in the beginning, in&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, He is concealed, and afterwards, in&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, He begins to be revealed until it reaches the revelation of the Holy Name in&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>167) This is what is written in Moses: \u201c\u2018I AM WHO I AM.\u2019 And He said, \u2018Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel: \u2018I AM has sent me to you.\u2019\u2019\u201d The first \u201cI AM,\u201d which is concealed from all, meaning&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, is \u201cI am who I am.\u201d Afterwards, \u201cWHO I AM\u201d is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, which means, \u201cI will be revealed.\u201d Afterwards there is the last&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;[I AM], \u201cI AM has sent me to you,\u201d which is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>&nbsp;is impregnated with&nbsp;<em>ZON<\/em>, the Name is still concealed. It is revealed when it is written, \u201cGo and gather the elders of Israel, and say unto them: \u2018The Lord, the God of your fathers.\u2019\u201d This name is the perfection of everything, and here is the revelation and unification of the Holy Name,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>168) This is the reason why the first name of everything is&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>, and the second is&nbsp;<em>Koh<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. It is because the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>, took out the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and is concealed in it and never parts from the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>. She is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;that is included in&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, and they are called upper&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>. This is why&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is called&nbsp;<em>Koh<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd a river comes out of Eden\u201d means that&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, called \u201cA river that comes out of Eden,\u201d is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. This&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>, meaning the bottom&nbsp;<em>HB<\/em>. They are in this shape [broken&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>,&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/staging.kabbalah.info\/65d2a2ea-f845-4b29-8169-3af215be104a\" alt=\"Broken Hey\">&nbsp;], where the corner on the right of the letter&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, \u201clower&nbsp;<em>Aba<\/em>,\u201d and is called&nbsp;<em>Ysrael<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Saba<\/em>, and the letter,&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>\u2014which is&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, called \u201clower&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>,\u201d and&nbsp;<em>Tevuna<\/em>\u2014expands from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>169)&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. Then&nbsp;<em>Koh<\/em>, in which the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;elicited the&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, which is&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Dalet<\/em>&nbsp;of the filling of&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>, which are upper&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>, who never part from each other. Afterwards,&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;elicited the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;in this manner [<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/staging.kabbalah.info\/3c70f6fb-f254-44e0-9f31-1822c07cff64\" alt=\"Broken Hey\">], where there is an imprint in the corner of the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>. Thus, there is a&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;here,&nbsp;<em>Ysrael<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Saba<\/em>, and that river that comes out of him,&nbsp;<em>Tevuna<\/em>, which is the essence of the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;that spreads from the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;in her corner, and they are the first&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;in the name&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>170) Two sons extend below from the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, meaning&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>. From the lower&nbsp;<em>Aba<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;in the corner of the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, a son comes out,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, who grips to the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>YESHS<\/em>, called&nbsp;<em>Aba<\/em>, and grips to the river,&nbsp;<em>Tevuna<\/em>, called&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>, who is the essence of the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;that extends from the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>. Also, a daughter,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, comes out from the side of&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>, the essence of the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>. This is the lower river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the son,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, extends and comes out of&nbsp;<em>YESHS<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Tevuna<\/em>. This is the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, and he inherits&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>, meaning receives their&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>, although they are not his own but he inherits them. Then faith,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, ties to him and the daughter is nourished from him, from that inheritance he had inherited, from&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>. Thus, he illuminates to her from those&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>171) This is why the Holy Name should be written with the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;first, and a tip should be written above, over the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>, a tip in the middle of the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>, and a tip below, at the bottom of the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>. These are&nbsp;<em>KHB<\/em>, which are implied in the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>. Afterwards,&nbsp;<em>Koh<\/em>&nbsp;should be written, and in this way they are not separated. [<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/staging.kabbalah.info\/efec5baa-70a1-4b20-a0aa-2880528b6fc1\" alt=\"Broken Hey\">] First, the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;at the corner should be written, and then two lines are to be drawn out of it, one on top, on the roof, and one downwards, to the right leg. And there is a broken line on the left leg. This is so that both father and mother\u2014upper&nbsp;<em>AVI<\/em>\u2014will be in wholeness, included in the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;brings the filling of&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Dalet<\/em>&nbsp;out of her and the letter&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;in the drawing [<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/staging.kabbalah.info\/ccd1f016-2d7d-4571-ba5b-7ec476bbc46f\" alt=\"Broken Hey\">] is made of it, which are the son and daughter of the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>. This is so because&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&#8211;<em>Dalet<\/em>&nbsp;of the filling of&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&nbsp;are&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, which are mingled with&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and are called \u201cson and daughter.\u201d Correspondingly,&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>&#8211;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;should be written, and thus you have the full perfection of faith,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>172) Afterwards, faith\u2014meaning&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>\u2014expanded and two sons out of one came out of her and split their ways. The son,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, came out of both, from&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>, and he is the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;of the Holy Name&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>. The daughter,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, came from the side of&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Tevuna<\/em>, and she is the bottom&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;of the Holy Name&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>. Also, she is completed only with&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;because she is fed by him. This is why the shape of&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;should be written in a way that&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;is included in it first, and then the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, like this:&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/staging.kabbalah.info\/dbfd5065-3bb6-4d96-899f-7e2257b99661\" alt=\"Half Broken Hey\">&nbsp;, which are&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;that are included in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. Thus, the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>, with the expansion that comes out of it, which completes the shape of the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, is like a river,&nbsp;<em>Tevuna<\/em>&nbsp;that comes out of the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>YESHSUT<\/em>, as in the form of the first&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, since the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, is nourished by it, by the&nbsp;<em>Yod<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, too, in the bottom&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, we should first write&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;and then draw the shape of the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;from it, since&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;is fed from the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. And here, too, in the bottom&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>, we should first write&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;and then draw the shape of the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;from her because she is fed from the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>. The&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;in the beginning of the shape of the&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>&nbsp;is the son that comes out of the&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;below, inside the bottom&nbsp;<em>Hey<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>173) Thus, one must be cautious with the Holy Name, to write the Holy Name in this manner. This is how it should be done, and if not in this way, it is not regarded as a Holy Name and is called \u201cflawed.\u201d And for one who blemishes the Holy Name, it is better that he were not born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>174) The first two names are&nbsp;<em>EKYEH<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Koh<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Keter<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. The third name is&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>, called&nbsp;<em>Elokim<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>&nbsp;but&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;comes out of her. This is why the writing is&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>. And the reading is&nbsp;<em>Elokim<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>, since she is punctuated in the punctuation of&nbsp;<em>Elokim<\/em>. This is the river that comes out of Eden,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fourth name is \u201cGreat God,\u201d greatness, the&nbsp;<em>Sefira<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fifth name is&nbsp;<em>Elokim<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sixth name is&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Rachamim<\/em>, the wholeness of everything, the essence of everything, the tie of faith, gripped to all sides, including all six edges&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHY<\/em>. This is the&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;of Israel [the glory of Israel].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>175) The seventh and eighth names are called \u201chosts,\u201d together, and they are&nbsp;<em>Netzah<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Hod<\/em>. For this reason, the name&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>, is close to all and grips all edges. This is so because at times it writes,&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH Elokim<\/em>&nbsp;[the Lord God], indicating that&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;draws nearer to&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>, and at times it writes&nbsp;<em>HaVaYaH<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Tzevaot<\/em>&nbsp;[the Lord of Hosts], indicating&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;approaching&nbsp;<em>Netzah<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Hod<\/em>, which are called \u201cHosts.\u201d We know the words of the prophets, which are trusted to have come from their mouths, saying, \u201cSo said the Lord God.\u201d And when they said, \u201cSo said the Lord of Hosts,\u201d they knew from which place the words of prophecy had come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>176) The ninth name is&nbsp;<em>Shadai<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, who said to His world,&nbsp;<em>Dai<\/em>&nbsp;[enough], since&nbsp;<em>Dai<\/em>&nbsp;implies satisfying all that is needed, and satisfaction comes to the world from a righteous, the foundation of the world, who said to the world, \u201cEnough,\u201d that he had all that he needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tenth name is&nbsp;<em>ADNI<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>ADNI<\/em>&nbsp;is the letters of&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>, waging the wars of the king,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, in the world.
