Quotation for Proverbs 24:3
בְּ֭חָכְמָה יִבָּ֣נֶה בָּ֑יִת וּ֝בִתְבוּנָ֗ה יִתְכּוֹנָֽן׃
Through wisdom is a house builded; And by understanding it is established;
Sefer HaBahir
Why is the letter Bet closed on all sides and open in the front? This teaches us that it is the House (bayit) of the world. God is the place of the world, and the world is not His place. Do not readBet, but Bayit (house). It is thus written (Proverbs 24:3), "A house is built by wisdom, And is established by understanding;"
