According to the Kabbalah, the first Tablets preceded from the Tree of Life, that's to say,
the Intelligence of the One, Binah, meanwhile, the second were taken from the side of
the Tree of Good and Evil.
The Tree of the Science of the Good and Evil, whose fruit had eaten, was the cause of the
expulsion of Adam from Paradise: –«And Jehovah God said: Behold, the Man is become as
one of us, for knowing the Good and Evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and
take also of the Tree of Life, and eat, and live become Immortal: therefore Jehovah
God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was
taken. So he drove out the Man: and he placed at the east of the Garden of Eden
cherubim, armed with Flaming Sword, to keep the way of the Tree of Life» [Genesis
3]. Therefore, the second tablets are destined to those who want the redemption of Adam's sin
but who still remain subjected to him; the first, instead, reveals the Hokhmah to whom have
elevated themselves above the human condition, to the «adamic state», and deserve to gain the
immortality that proceeds from the Binah, the Intellignce of the Tree of Life: they can only be,
of course, the Highest Priests of the Chosen People. For this reason Moses veiled the
Hokhmah to the population and he only communicated it to Joshua; Joshua transmitted it to
the Elders of Israel and he sealed magically the concealment, in such manner that they only
could ve found in the XII century A.C. by the Templars, who transported it to Clairvaux. Other
Prophets, nonetheless, communicated the Hokhmah verbally, to the Priests of the Great
Synagogue, who continued the kabbalistic chain. After the captivity of Babylon there were no
more Prophets in Israel and Ezdras, the Scribe, presented to the Jewish people the exoteric
Doctrine of the written Torah, based in the second Tablets of the Law. That Doctrine was
sustained by the Priests of the Great Synagogue, who then were called Scribes, Soferim, until
the advent of the Tannaim, from the I to the III century A.C. the great kabbalists of such
period, amongst them stood out Simeon bar Yochai, named «The Holy Lamp», the achieved to
transcend the written Torah and to obtain the Hokhmah again. Then, the oral Torah was
transmitted again by the Amoraim, and Rabbis, Rabbi, until the Middle Ages.
Apart from the written Torah, three books can be considered as the most important for
the Jewish kabbalists: the Sepher Ha Zohar, the Sepher Yetsirah, and the Sepher Icheh.
The Sepher Ha Zohar, or Book of the Splendor, was written by Simeon bar Yochai in the II
century A.C., but the unique existent version since the XIII century is the translation to
Aramaic effectuated by the Spaniard kabbalist Moses de León. The Sepher Yetsirah, or Book
of the Formation, is older, and the traditional kabbalistic chain traces its origin to Abraham.
But, by far, the most secret and mysterious book, as the most coveted by the kabbalists is the
Sepher Icheh, or book of the Fire Holocaust, which is supposed contemporaneus of Adam and
that proceeds, as the first man, from the Garden of Eden. Really, the original book had been
written in Paradise by the Angel Raziel for the instruction of Adam, and its content would be
the own Hokhmah; such mystical book must not be confused, with the «Book of Raziel»
written in the XII century by the kabbalist Eleazar ben Judah of Worms, and based in of second
hand news about the Tablets of Sapphire.
According to the rabbinical tradition, the real Book of Raziel, engraved Tablets of
Sapphire, had been stolen from Paradise by Rahab, King of the Sea, and hurled to the Ocean;
then, it would be found by the Egyptians and would remain for millenniums in power of the
