Kabbalah su Esodo 15:27

וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ אֵילִ֔מָה וְשָׁ֗ם שְׁתֵּ֥ים עֶשְׂרֵ֛ה עֵינֹ֥ת מַ֖יִם וְשִׁבְעִ֣ים תְּמָרִ֑ים וַיַּחֲנוּ־שָׁ֖ם עַל־הַמָּֽיִם׃

Indi arrivarono ad Elìm, e quivi erano dodici fonti d’acqua, e settanta palme; e s’accamparono ivi presso alle acque.

Pri Etz Hadar

My father perceived the esoteric wisdom [alluded to by the] wording of the Mishnah, which says,”New Year’s Day for fruit of the tree,” rather than “for fruit of the trees.” The [sages of the Mishnah] were alluding to the Holy Tree, the Tree of Life,44I.e., they were alluding to the sefirah, Tiferet, which is symbolized by the “Tree of Life.” as Isaac Luria’s disciples explained. For tree (ilan) has the same numerical value as the holy name, YAHDVNHY,45The letters that spell ilan have the numerical value of 91. This equals the value of the sum of the two divine names, YHVH and ADoNaY. The combination of these two names, YAHD-VNHY represents the union of the sefirot, Tiferet, and Malkhut, respectively, i.e., the sacred union of the male and female principle within the Godhead. as they wrote in their explanation of the following passage from the Zohar, Aḥarei Mot.”That great and mighty tree [which contains nourishment for all is called the Tree of Life], the tree that planted its roots in these living ones.”46Zohar, v. 3, 58a. Also, the Lurianic writings state that when the word tree (ilan) is spelled out fully, its numerical value is the same as twelve permutations of the name YHVH.47When ilan is spelled ALP YVD LMD NVN, it equals 311 plus one for the word itself, total 312. Twelve permutations of YHVH equal 312. Thus [tree] alludes to Tiferet, the Tree of Life, which contains twelve permutations of YHVH, as stated in Zohar, Beshalaḥ, “twelve [supernal, engraved] regions ascended [in the scale], in the great and powerful holy Tree.”48Zohar 2, 66b. Also see the passage,”‘And they came to Elim and there were twelve springs of water there and seventy date palms…49Exod. 15:27. and the Holy Tree grew strong in twelve regions . . .”50Zohar 2, 62b.

Zohar

It was taught, at the time Yisrael was completed below, so it was above, as it has been established by what it written (Shmot 15:27), "And they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees; [and they encamped there beside the water.]" The holy tree was strengthened, with twelve boundaries, on the four sides of the world, and it was strengthened with seventy branches, all of them corresponding to what's above.

Tikkunei Zohar

For it says about her/Her: “And they came Elim-ward, and there [were] twelve springs of water and seventy date palms” [Ex 15:27]. “Twelve springs”—these are twelve joints/sections, which are: six in the arms (right and left shoulder, elbow, and wrist, or upper arm, lower arm, and hand) and six in two legs/shoqin (right and left hip, knee, and ankle, etc.). That is what’s written: “His hands [are] rolls of gold filled in Tarshish (or: with beryl)” [So 5:14]. What is “in Tarshish ( תרשיש )”? “In two, six / t’rey shesh ( תרי שש )”—in two arms [are] six joints; and so [are there] six/shesh others in two legs, [as it says:] “His [two] thighs are pillars of marble/shesh ( שש )” [So 5:15]. These are twelve springs.
