          <english>Elijah the Prophet &lt;b&gt;began&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; his teaching and said: God, &lt;b&gt;Master of the worlds, You are One&lt;/b&gt;—not that You are &lt;b&gt;counted&lt;/b&gt; first; rather You are the one thing that truly exists. &lt;b&gt;You are higher than all of the highest&lt;/b&gt; spiritual &lt;b&gt;powers; You are hidden from all hidden things. No thought can grasp&lt;/b&gt; and understand &lt;b&gt;You at all.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;b&gt;You are the One Who&lt;/b&gt; created and brought forth ten tools. We call these tools the “&lt;b&gt;ten attributes.&lt;/b&gt;”&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; You created them &lt;b&gt;to direct and control both the hidden worlds,&lt;/b&gt; which are spiritual and are not revealed to us, &lt;b&gt;and the worlds that are revealed.&lt;/b&gt; With these attributes, &lt;b&gt;You hide Yourself from human beings.&lt;/b&gt; Although there are many attributes and they seem to be different, &lt;b&gt;You connect them and unite them&lt;/b&gt; with each other, because they all come from You, and &lt;b&gt;You are One. And because You are inside these attributes, anyone who separates any of these ten attributes from each other&lt;/b&gt;—anyone who thinks that the attributes are separate things—is &lt;b&gt;considered as if he has made a separation within You, God.&lt;/b&gt; These ten attributes follow a pattern: &lt;b&gt;One long&lt;/b&gt; attribute, which brings God’s goodness to everyone, without calculating whether they deserve it or not; &lt;b&gt;one short&lt;/b&gt; attribute, which brings God’s goodness only to those deserving of it, and one &lt;b&gt;middle&lt;/b&gt; attribute, which calculates who is deserving and who isn’t, yet mercifully gives to everyone. &lt;b&gt;You, God, are the one Who directs them, and nobody directs You; not anyone above, not anyone below, and not anyone from any side. You also made layers&lt;/b&gt;</english>

          <english>of spiritual &lt;b&gt;garments&lt;/b&gt; for these attributes, to cover over their great holiness, so that &lt;b&gt;souls can fly out from them and&lt;/b&gt; come into this world to give human beings life. Without their garments, the holy attributes would not be able to bring souls into our physical, unholy world. You &lt;b&gt;made a number of&lt;/b&gt; attributes, which are like bodies to these &lt;b&gt;garments;&lt;/b&gt; they are called “&lt;b&gt;bodies&lt;/b&gt;” when compared &lt;b&gt;to the garments that cover over them.&lt;/b&gt; The attributes are &lt;b&gt;called&lt;/b&gt; body parts. They are each compared to a different part of the body, &lt;b&gt;as follows: Chessed,&lt;/b&gt; kindness, is compared &lt;b&gt;to the right arm. Gevurah,&lt;/b&gt; severity and power, is compared &lt;b&gt;to the left arm. Tiferet,&lt;/b&gt; harmony, is compared to the main &lt;b&gt;part of the body,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; the chest and stomach area. &lt;b&gt;Netzach,&lt;/b&gt; victory, &lt;b&gt;and Hod,&lt;/b&gt; glory, are compared to the two thighs. &lt;b&gt;Yesod,&lt;/b&gt; foundation, is compared &lt;b&gt;to the end of&lt;/b&gt; the main part of the body, which is the &lt;b&gt;sign of the holy&lt;/b&gt; Circumcision—the Covenant that God made with the Jewish Nation. &lt;b&gt;Malchut,&lt;/b&gt; royalty and kingship, is compared to the mouth, which expresses and explains a person’s thoughts. This is why &lt;b&gt;we call&lt;/b&gt; Malchut “&lt;b&gt;Oral Torah,&lt;/b&gt;” because the Oral Torah explains the meaning of Written Torah. &lt;b&gt;Chochmah,&lt;/b&gt; wisdom, is compared &lt;b&gt;to the brain;&lt;/b&gt; that is, the thoughts that are &lt;b&gt;inside&lt;/b&gt; the brain. &lt;b&gt;Binah,&lt;/b&gt; understanding, is compared to &lt;b&gt;the heart,&lt;/b&gt; because when a person &lt;b&gt;understands&lt;/b&gt; something properly, &lt;b&gt;the heart&lt;/b&gt; feels it. &lt;b&gt;About these&lt;/b&gt; last two attributes—Chochmah, wisdom and Binah, understanding, which are both hidden like a person’s thoughts—it is written in the Torah: &lt;b&gt;The hidden things belong to the Lord,&lt;/b&gt; our God, because only He knows about them.&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; The highest of all the attributes is &lt;b&gt;Keter, Supernal Crown;&lt;/b&gt; it is like a royal crown on top of a person. The verse in Isaiah says about Keter: &lt;b&gt;From the beginning He tells what the end is.&lt;/b&gt; Keter is also like a head upon which tefillin are placed; it surrounds the attributes, just as a head surrounds the brain and tefillin surround the Torah passages inside them. Inside all of the attributes is the power of God’s name of &lt;b&gt;Mah&lt;/b&gt;—the name that has a numerical value of 45. God uses this name to</english>

          <text>2 The word “grasp” not only means “understand,” but also “hold onto.” A person’s body, for example, “grasps” the soul in the sense that it literally holds onto it for dear life. For this reason, the soul is directly affected by the actions and experiences of the body. God, by contrast, cannot be “grasped” by anything at all—nothing in the universe can affect Him.</text>

          <text>3 God’s attributes are referred to as “tools,” because in order for God’s infinite holiness to descend into the world, the holiness must first be conditioned and “fixed,” so to speak, by the attributes. God’s attributes effectively act as spiritual “vessels” that “restrict” and contain God’s infinite holiness, thereby allowing it to be revealed in the physical world.</text>

          <text>4 The name of this attribute, “Tiferet,” can also be translated as “pride.” God has great pride when we conquer our “body”—our physical desires.</text>

          <text>5 Intellect is described as something that is “hidden,” because one can never know with certainty another person’s thoughts or his level of understanding. Emotions, on the other hand, can be more easily perceived. They are openly revealed and expressed to others.</text>
