Appendix A: Kaballah Letter Legend

22. Beresheet (In the beginning): Rabbi Hamnuna
Saba, (the elder), said that we have found IN THE
WORDS: "BERESHEET BARA ELOHIM (In the
beginning, Elohim created the...)" (Beresheet 1:1),
THAT THE ORDER of the letters IN THIS PHRASE
is arranged in reverse. At the beginning, the Hebrew
letter Bet is immediately followed by another Bet, that
is, BERESHEET BARA. Subsequently, IT IS
WRITTEN at the beginning with an ALEPH and
then another ALEPH, referring in Hebrew to Elohim
Et. AND HE EXPLAINS THAT when the Holy One,
blessed be He, was about to create the world, all of the
letters WERE STILL hidden. For two thousand years
before the creation of the world, the Holy One,
blessed be He, watched the letters and amused
Himself with them.

(A) The letter Tav

23. When He desired to create the world, all the
letters of the Hebrew alphabet came before Him in
sequence from last to first. The letter Tav saw itself fit
to come forth first. It said, Master of the World, may
it please you to create the world with me because I am
the seal of your ring, which is Emet (truth),
MEANING THAT I AM THE LAST LETTER IN
THE WORD EMET. And as You are called BY THIS
NAME of TRUTH, so it would be most appropriate
for the King to begin with the letter Tav, and create
the world by me. The Holy One, blessed be He, said to
it, you are worthy and deserving, but you are not
suitable for the world to be created by you. You are
destined to serve as a mark on the foreheads of the
faithful one, who have kept the Law of the Torah
from Aleph to Tav, but when you appear they shall
die (Tract. Shabbat 55, col. A). Not only that, but you
are the seal of the word Death, MEANING THAT
TAV IS THE LAST LETTER TO APPEAR IN THE
WORD MAVET (DEATH). And because of this, you
are not suitable for Me to create the world with you.
It then immediately left.

(B) The letter Shin

24. The letter Shin then entered and stood before
Him. It said, Master of the World, may it please You
to create the world with me, as I am called in Your
own name Shadai. And it would be most proper to
create the world by a holy name. He replied: You are
worthy, you are good, and you are truthful. But
because you are included among the letters that form
the word Sheker (falsehood), I do not wish to create
the world with you. Sheker would not have prevailed
had you not been attached to the letters Resh and
Kuf.

25. From this WE LEARN THAT whoever wants to
tell a lie, should add that lie to a base that is truthful.
Because the letter Shin is a letter (i.e. a sign) of truth,
meaning a letter of Truth by which the Patriarchs
reached unison. NOTE THAT THE THREE LINES
IN THE LETTER SHIN REFER TO THE THREE
PATRIARCHS, WHO ARE CALLED CHESED,
GVURAH, AND TIFERET. And the letters Kuf and
Resh appear on the evil side, because THE OTHER
