וּפָנִ֤יתִֽי אֲנִי֙ לִרְא֣וֹת חָכְמָ֔ה וְהוֹלֵל֖וֹת וְסִכְל֑וּת כִּ֣י ׀ מֶ֣ה הָאָדָ֗ם שֶׁיָּבוֹא֙ אַחֲרֵ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־כְּבָ֖ר עָשֽׂוּהוּ׃
Puis, je me mis à passer en revue sagesse, folie et sottise: "Car, me disais-je, que [pourra faire] l’homme qui viendra après le roi? Celui-ci aura déjà tout fait."
Zohar
R. Hiya said that the Oral and the Written Law together preserve mankind, as it is written: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness”-“image” having reference to the Masculine and “likeness” to the Feminine; and for this reason the Torah commences with the letter Beth (=2), as already explained.
