Kabbalah do Ezechiela 1:8
וידו [וִידֵ֣י] אָדָ֗ם מִתַּ֙חַת֙ כַּנְפֵיהֶ֔ם עַ֖ל אַרְבַּ֣עַת רִבְעֵיהֶ֑ם וּפְנֵיהֶ֥ם וְכַנְפֵיהֶ֖ם לְאַרְבַּעְתָּֽם׃
A ręce ludzkie były poniżej skrzydeł ich, po czterech stronach ich. Co do oblicza ich i skrzydeł po czterech onych stronach, -
Tikkunei Zohar
These are the twelve faces and twelve wings of the heavenly beasts, as it is written (Ezekiel 1:8) "Each of the four had the face of a lion on the right" - this is the white of the eye. "Each of the four had the face of an ox on the left" - this is the red of the eye. "Each of them had the face of an eagle" - this is the green of the eye. And it is written, "Each had four faces... and four wings." - this all comes to twenty-four. And these wings are the eyelids, which are referred to as (Exodus 32:15) "they were inscribed on one side (zeh) and the other side (zeh)." [So too,] about the heavenly beasts it is said (Isaiah 6:3) "One (zeh) would call to the other (zeh), Holy! Holy! Holy! The Lord of Hosts! His presence fills the earth." Certainly, they are called "zeh and zeh", just like the two sides of the tablets of Torah, inscribed on one side and the other. These are inscribed tablets of stone, and that stone is the Foundation Stone from which the earth is formed. And this is the pupil of the eye, of which it is written (Zechariah 3:9) "A single stone with seven eyes." These are the seven skins of the eye, of which it is said (Psalms 119:164) "I praise you seven times a day." And this is the Holy Regency, as it is written, (Psalms 118:22) "The stone that the builders rejected will be the chief cornerstone." Who are these 'builders'? They are they masters of the Mishnah who built structures in the world, and the deciders of law (Halachah) who rejected Her in exile. [Therefore,] it is written of Her, "will be the chief cornerstone. For she is Moses' Halachah from Sinai, received by Moses. Although Her pupil was black, through it and from it will the Holy One light up the world, for He will illuminate Her.
