Keter Malkhut · Chapter 2

‹›
  1. 1

    אַתָּה אֶחָד. רֹאשׁ כָּל מִנְיָן. וִיסוֹד כָּל בִּנְיָן:

    Thou art One, the first of every number, and the foundation of every structure,

  2. 2

    אַתָּה אֶחָד. וּבְסוֹד אַחְדוּתְךָ חַכְמֵי לֵב יִתְמָהוּ. כִּי לֹא יָדְעוּ מַה הוּא:

    Thou art One, and at the mystery of Thy Oneness the wise of heart are struck dumb, For they know not what it is.

  3. 3

    אַתָּה אֶחָד. וְאַחְדוּתְךָ לֹא יִגְרַע וְלֹא יוֹסִיף. לֹא יֶחְסַר וְלֹא יַעְדִּיף:

    Thou art One, and Thy Oneness can neither be increased nor lessened, It lacketh naught, nor doth aught remain over.

  4. 4

    אַתָּה אֶחָד. וְלֹא כְּאֶחָד הַקָּנוּי וְהַמָּנוּי. כִּי לֹא יַשִּׂיגְךָ רִבּוּי וְשִׁנּוּי. לֹא תֹאַר וְלֹא כִנּוּי:

    Thou art One, but not like a unit to be grasped or counted, For number and change cannot reach Thee. Thou art not to be visioned, nor to be figured thus or thus.

  5. 5

    אַתָּה אֶחָד. וְלָשׂוּם לְךָ חֹק וּגְבוּל נִלְאָה הֶגְיוֹנִי. עַל כֵּן אָמַרְתִּי אֶשְׁמְרָה דְרָכַי מֵחֲטוֹא בִלְשׁוֹנִי:

    Thou art One, but to put to Thee bound or circumference my imagination would fail me. Therefore I have said I will guard my ways lest I sin with the tongue.

  6. 6

    אַתָּה אֶחָד. גָבַהְתָּ וְנַעֲלֵיתָ מִשְּׁפוֹל וּמִנְּפוֹל. וְאִילוֹ הָאֶחָד שֶׁיִּפּוֹל:

    Thou art One, Thou art high and exalted beyond abasement or falling, "For how should the One fall?"
