Haverá oito tábuas e suas bases de prata, dezesseis bases; duas bases debaixo de uma tábua, e duas bases debaixo de outra tábua.
Sha'arei Orah
After having informed you of this important principle, you now should understand why the name of Lordship-Adona”y-אדנ״י is the Opening Gateway of Prayer, why it is called the Lower Court of Justice (Beit Din Shel Matah-בית דין של מטה), and why it smites and heals, puts to death and enlivens. It is appropriate that you study and review everything explained in the First Gate in depth, to understand it well, since that is the Gate of the Lord-Adona”y-אדנ״י. When you connect the matters explained there with what we explained here, your eyes will see and your heart will rejoice, and you will see that all these matters accord to the order of HaShem’s-יהו״ה Supernal Wisdom-Chochmah, blessed is He. You then will understand why this quality is called Lordship-Adona”y-אדנ״י, and is the same as “the sockets-Adnei-אדנ״י”430Exodus 26:25; 38:27 and elsewhere. of the pillars, these being the receptacles that bind and uphold the pillars, and are the secret of the letters Vav-Hey-ו״ה of the Name HaShem-יהו"ה. You then will understand why this quality is called by the titles, Well-Be’er-באר, Sea-Yam-ים, earth-Aretz-ארץ, or any other titles explained in the First Gate. Now that we have explained the matter of the titles, this Gate is now complete. However, with the help of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, we shall now explain the other names by which HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, is called, in a way that you will grasp wisdom and merit to adhere to His Great Name through them, may He be blessed and elevated forever and ever. Amen!
