Йешайау 9:7 Каббала: Pardes Rimmonim

And since it is difficult for Rabbi Elazar that the name Shaddai (שדי) [has as] explanation that (ש) it says to the world Dai (די)/Enough!, which is that it limited it [= the world] as they [= the elements of the world] were expanding from its narrownesses and going, until it said to it [= the world]: Dai/Enough! [= that suffices!]. And this is not justified for Yesod, as the creation of the world is by means of the Architect which is Malkut, and therefore verily it is this one [= Malkut] who says to the world: Dai/Enough! And to this [difficulty] he [= R. Elazar] said: Shaddai, [with the] explanation: supply and nourishment. And the nourishment, it is from the side of Yesod, and it is supplying nourishment to the world, and this is ‘nourishment does not come to the world except out of the Righteous One, who is the Foundation/Yesod of the world’. And he intended to say: out of the Righteous One, as he is the Foundation/Yesod that causes the world to stand, and this is why he repeated his expression and said ‘the Righteous One, who is the Foundation of the world, who said to the world: Dai/Enough!’. And even if this is so, we do not deny that the name El Chai is in Yesod, as Rabbi Abba has explained, but [we hold] that it is not a holy name as the rest of the names which are not to be erased, but [it is] a special name as the rest of the special names, and it occurs in Scripture (Psalms 84:3) “My heart and my flesh will sing to El Chai”. But the name Shaddai is written in the Torah: “And El Shaddai will bless you and will make you bear fruit and make you numerous.” [Genesis 28:3]. Doubled in the Prophets: “as the voice of Shaddai in their going” [Ezekiel 1:24], tripled in the Writings: And Shaddai will be in your need…” [Job 22:25]. And the name of Malkut [is] Adonai/My Master, written in the Torah, doubled in the Prophets, tripled in the Writings. Written in the Torah: “Now may the power of Adonai be great”[Numbers 14:17] and [there are] many [places] similar to them. Doubled in the Prophets: “The matter which Adonai sent to Jacob” [Isaiah 9:7] and [there are] many [places] similar to them. Tripled in the Writings: “Adonai, you will open…” [Psalms 51:17] and [there are] many [places] similar to them. And it came into the tradition that there are in Scripture 134 occurrences of them, and the reason you will find it in the Torah commentary of Chizkuni [Chizkuni on Genesis 1:1], at the beginning of it he says that this number corresponds to the [numerical value of the] first and last letters of East (מזרח), West (מערב) and South (דרום ) [the sum of the numerical value of מח, מב and דם is 134] to say that these three directions are closed with the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, and therefore 134 (קלד) is an expression of closing, just as “keys” (אקלידי) [Aramaic]. But the North is not in the number as it is open to punish the wicked ones, but in the time to come the Holy One, blessed be He will close it. Similar and more, see there and you will find [further] reasons extending on this explanation. And these ten names that have been mentioned are palaces for the spirituality of the Sefirot, and this spirituality is a garment for the innermost spirituality that is hinted at by the four-letter name [Tetragram] which is in each and every Sefira. And this subject, and besides it the explanation of these names and the subjects of the Sefirot, will be explained in the Gates that follow with help of HaShem, and each one [of these subjects will be explained] at a place that is fitting for it.
