אִם־עֹ֣שֶׁק רָ֠שׁ וְגֵ֨זֶל מִשְׁפָּ֤ט וָצֶ֙דֶק֙ תִּרְאֶ֣ה בַמְּדִינָ֔ה אַל־תִּתְמַ֖הּ עַל־הַחֵ֑פֶץ כִּ֣י גָבֹ֜הַּ מֵעַ֤ל גָּבֹ֙הַ֙ שֹׁמֵ֔ר וּגְבֹהִ֖ים עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
Kung makita mo sa lalawigan ang pang-aapi sa dukha at ang marahas na pagbaluktot sa katarungan at katuwiran, huwag mong pagtakhan ang bagay na ito; sapagkat may isang mas mataas pa sa mataas na nagbabantay, at may mga mas mataas pa sa kanila.
Peri Etz Hadar
Consequently, we learn that there is no physical thing here below that does not correspond to something above. “For one is protected by another on a higher level, and both of these by still higher ones.”43Eccle. 5:7. As things are below, so they are above. For there would be no shadow if there were no one to cast it.
Ohr Ne'erav
Gavoha (“Height”). Essentially [referring] to Eyn Sof; sometimes to the rest of the qualities, as in for one higher than the high watches (Eccles. 5:7). In any event, the “Height” is only [evident] from the addition of his emanation.
Sefer HaBahir
[Rabbi Berachiah continued,] "And why is it called gold [זהב]? Since three traits are included in it:
1) male, which is zayin;
2) the soul [נשמה], which is the heh and [includes] the five [ה] names of the soul, ruach [רוח], chayah [חיה], yechidah [יחידה], nefesh [נפש], and neshama [נשמה] — why was she [the soul] made in five? To be a throne to the zayin, as is written, 'For a higher one is protected by a higher one' (Ecclesiastes 5:7) — and,
3) the bet establishes them, as is said, In [ב] the beginning, created' (Genesis 1:1)."
