Kabbalah su Genesi 1:3

This was explained by Rabbi Simeon bar Yoḥai, peace upon him, in another place. [He stated] that the mystery of the earth was formless and void [refers to the period] after the destruction of the First and Second Temples. And God said, “Let there be light” (Gen. 1:3)—this [refers] to the mystery of the future redemption. I dealt with this matter in my book, Or Yakar.45Moses Cordovero, Or Yakar, vol. 1 (Jerusalem, 1965), pt. I, sec. 1. The relevant passage is Zohar I, 25b.
