Number Theory in Solomon's Great Key

Bard Translation Excerpt from ELIPHAZ LéVI, translated from Hebrew, translated into Chinese by the Bard, and analyzed. I now tell you the keys to the Kingdom of Spirits. This key is identical in value to Yetzirah [Creation]. All spirits rely on the natural world and the widespread hierarchies. 3 controls, 3 endings, and 3 mediators The spirits described are distributed above, below, and in the middle: If you delight in climbing the sacred ladder, if you replace ascent with continuation, you will surely discover the opposite level beyond the shell, or the spirits of the deceased. Only you need to know the virtues and powers of the heavenly kingdoms known to no one. These are all the markings on the sacred ladder where spirits ascend and descend. Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and others, not by their names but by their titles of power. The primary statement is the unity of numbers. The first sacred concept gathered is Kether or Crown [Crown] The first category of spirits is Ha-Qadesh, the wisdom of the sacred Tetragram, symbolized by the sacred animals in Ezekiel's prophecy through these letters.

Number 3, its Sephirah is Binah [Understanding] Its spirits are Binah or Aralim, their empire is the creation of thought, they correspond to the energy of activity and thinking.

The symbol of evil, the five kingdoms, must be destroyed by Joshua [yhshivh] His name constitutes the characters of the sacred Tetragram, from which the diameter connects with Schin its point changes into a five-pointed star. Each letter in the pentagram symbolizes a power and attacks the five cursed kingdoms in a good direction. For truth, the people of God pass it down in allegory. The five cursed kingdoms are: 1, Amalekites [Amalekites] corresponding to aggressors 2, Geburim corresponding to rage [violence] 3, Rephaim [Rephaim] corresponding to the cowardly, the weak 4, Nephilim [Nephilim] corresponding to the lustful, the extravagant. 5, Anakim [Anakim] corresponding to instigators of rebellion, disturbers. The instigators of rebellion are conquered by yod, this is the authority of the father. Violence is conquered by he, this is the tenderness of the mother. The cowardly are conquered by Vau, this is the sword of Michael, producing toil and pain. The lustful are conquered by the second he, this is the pain brought to the mother. Finally, the aggressors are defeated by Schin, this is the fire and justice of the Lord God, making them reach the law of balance. The formula for the 4-letter name of God is as follows: The first letter is yod, symbolizing the staff of Aaron. The second letter is he, symbolizing the Holy Grail of Joseph. The third letter vau, symbolizing my father [Solomon's dad] the sword of King David The fourth is he, symbolizing the shekel gold coin. Three Symbols Wind and Cloud Surge Supplement: In the Tree of Life, there are a total of 22 paths. In the evolution of mysticism, the 22 paths come from the ten Sephiroth, so this corresponds to the meaning of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, where branches come from stems, that is the meaning. 1 Crown 2 Wisdom 3 Understanding 4 Mercy 5 Strength 6 Beauty 7 Victory 8 Glory 9 Foundation 0 Kingdom At first glance, these numbers seem inexplicable and have no relation to I Ching numerology, but actually, if you just convert them, you can understand. Dui is the West, Kan is its predecessor, so it is number 1 Kan is Wisdom, Kun is its predecessor, so it is number 2 Gen is Understanding, Zhen is its predecessor, so it is number 3 Kun is Great Virtue, Xun is its predecessor, so it is number 4 Li is Beauty, Qian is its predecessor, so it is number 6 Xun is Smoothness, Dui is its predecessor, so it is number 7 Zhen is Thunder, Gen is its predecessor, so it is number 8 Qian is Foundation, Li is its predecessor, so it is number 9 Center is Central and Upright, ruling over the eight directions, so it is Strength Within the Nine Palaces, it hides in the center, so it is Domain (Kingdom), in the original sense, Malkuth gives other emanations tangible form. Divine energy descends from above and manifests at the level of Malkuth, which is exactly this meaning. The above conversion, details may need refinement, but there is certainly a connection, and most of the ideas are quite similar.
