Kabbalah sa Mga Kawikaan 9:1: Sha'arei Orah

Know and be faithful that no creature in the world has existence except in the One, blessed be He, of these seven Sefirot.¹⁹⁵The Holy One, blessed is He, is the Sefirah of Tiferet-תפארת, in that both its light and its vessel is the Name HaShem-יהו"ה, whereas with the other Sefirot, only their inner light is the Name HaShem-יהו"ה, but their vessel is one of HaShem’s-יהו"ה titles. For example, the name of the vessel of Kindness-Chesed is E”l-א"ל and the name of the vessel of Might-Gevurah is Eloh”im-אלהי"ם etc. Now, this refers to the lower Name HaShem-יהו"ה, which is how HaShem-יהו"ה relates to His world, and is called the Unified Name-Shem HaMeyuchad-שם המיוחד in that it includes all the other names and titles of the Sefirot that branch out from it, like the trunk of a tree. That is, this Name HaShem-יהו"ה is as He relates to His world, rather than how He totally preexists and transcends it. However, the upper Name HaShem-יהו"ה, which is called the Name of the Essential Self-Shem HaEtzem-שם העצם, is utterly transcendent. Thus, if a person makes a false oath, he becomes uprooted from all seven Sefirot and is left without a root in the heavens and the earth. This is as scripture states about someone who makes a false oath,¹⁹⁶Zechariah 5:4 “It shall lodge in his house and demolish it and its wood and stones.” That is, everything, both root and branch, becomes uprooted. Now my son, hear this and contemplate the gravity of an oath and its punishment, in that if the name of heaven comes out of one’s mouth without [a justifiable] purpose, even not in an oath, he is punished for it, how much more is this so if he swears falsely. May HaShem-יהו"ה save us from such punishment and send us pardon and atonement for whatever we have transgressed in this regard. Since the matter of oaths is the matter of seven of the ten Sefirot that are included in His Name, blessed is He, it says in the Torah,¹⁹⁷Deuteronomy 10:20 “Fear HaShem-יהו"ה your God. Serve Him, adhere to Him and swear in His Name.” This is because everything depends on His Name and¹⁹⁸Isaiah 65:16 “whosoever shall make an oath in the land shall swear in the God of Truth-B’Eloh”ei Amen-באלה"י אמן.” Our sages therefore said,¹⁹⁹Sifri Matot 1 “An oath is like swearing in [the name of] the King Himself.” The matter of an oath is inclusive of seven, as scripture states,²⁰⁰Proverbs 9:1 “She carved out her seven pillars,” and it is written,²⁰¹Genesis 26:33 “And he called it Seven-Shivah-שבעה, therefore the name of the city is Be’er Sheva-באר שבע.” Moreover, it is written,²⁰²Genesis 21:31 “Therefore he called that place Be’er Sheva-באר שבע, because they both made an oath there.”
