Peri Etz Hadar
Consequently, we learn that there is no physical thing here below that does not correspond to something above. “For one is protected by another on a higher level, and both of these by still higher ones.”43Eccle. 5:7. As things are below, so they are above. For there would be no shadow if there were no one to cast it.
Ohr Ne'erav
Gavoha (“Height”). Essentially [referring] to Eyn Sof; sometimes to the rest of the qualities, as in for one higher than the high watches (Eccles. 5:7). In any event, the “Height” is only [evident] from the addition of his emanation.
Sefer HaBahir
[Rabbi Berachiah continued,] "And why is it called gold [זהב]? Since three traits are included in it:
1) male, which is zayin;
2) the soul [נשמה], which is the heh and [includes] the five [ה] names of the soul, ruach [רוח], chayah [חיה], yechidah [יחידה], nefesh [נפש], and neshama [נשמה] — why was she [the soul] made in five? To be a throne to the zayin, as is written, 'For a higher one is protected by a higher one' (Ecclesiastes 5:7) — and,
3) the bet establishes them, as is said, In [ב] the beginning, created' (Genesis 1:1)."
