Kabbalah sa Mga Awit 104:2: Chesed LeAvraham & Sefer HaBahir

And it is found according to this that the material creation is not composed of the formation, for if so, it would be fitting for the formation to precede the action, and not so. Instead, some of the action preceded the formation. The angels were created in the second, and the heavens and the earth were created in the first. Likewise, it is explained elsewhere that the heavens were created from a certain place, the light that is the garment of the Holy One, blessed be He, as it is said, "He wraps Himself in light like a garment" (Psalms 104:2). They desired to know from where the heavens were created. Although it seems that the creation ascends to the action in the order of degrees, since the action is lower than the formation, it is not from there that the heavens and the earth were created but from the light that clothes the transcendence, meaning the creation, the light that clothes the divine emanation. They were expanding and extending until He said to them, "Enough," for now that they are formed from the creation, it would be appropriate for them to be stretched according to their measure. However, He said to them "Enough" and contracted them in this state that is lower than the formation. The earth was not created from the side of the formation, which is still only from the snow under the Throne of Glory, etc. Behold, the explanation is that the heavens and the earth created on the first day, their cause is not the formation but the Throne, meaning the creation. And in the chapter "In two," the Holy One, blessed be He, created the firmament and the angels, etc., and concludes with it, meaning the firmament above the heads of the living beings, etc. So too, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai explained in Parashat Bereshit and in the Tikunim, the cause of this world is the creation. And so is the judgment that the governance of the formation in the world is only on weekdays. If Adam had merited, he would have been worthy of an eternal Sabbath, and on weekdays, governance is by the formation, and on the Sabbath, governance is by the emanation vested in the creation. If the world had been created in formation, it would have been necessarily subject to it by the force of its cause, which is the formation, and there would be no sanctity of the Sabbath in it. Now, since it is found from the creation, it ascends essentially from the Sabbath, and on the Sabbath, the governance is by the emanation, and when it goes out from the governance of the Sabbath to the governance of the weekday, meaning from Binah, the world of formation, it goes out of its natural state that adheres to it.

Rabbi Yanai said, “The Earth was created before the Heavens, as it is said, ‘[In the day of YHVH God’s making of the] Earth and the Heavens' (Genesis 2:4).’”
They said to him, “Isn’t it written ‘[In the beginning, God created] the Heavens and the Earth’ (Genesis 1:1)?”
He said to them, "To what does this compare? To a king who acquires a beautiful object, but it was not complete, so he did not give it a name. He said, ‘I will complete it and prepare its pedestal and accessories, and then I will give it a name.’ Thus it is written, ‘From eternity You established the Earth’ (Psalms 102:6), and afterward ‘And Heaven is the work of Your hands’ (Psalms 102:26). And it says, ‘He covered Himself with a garment of light, spread out the Heavens like a curtain, and set the waters as the rafters of His chambers’ (Psalms 104:2-3). Futher, it says, ‘He makes the winds His messengers and fiery flames His servants’ (Psalms 104:4), and afterward ‘He established the Earth on its foundation so that it will never [עולם ועד] be moved’ (Psalms 104:5). When He completed the pedestal, [the Earth] was strengthened by it, as is said, 'It will never be moved.’ What is its name? ‘Va’ed' [ועד] and the pedestal is ‘Earth' [עולם], thus it is ‘Olam Va’ed' [עולם ועד].”

[Mar Rachumai's students] said to him, "What is Vav?"
He said to them, "With six borders, the world is sealed."
They said to him, "But isn't Vav one?"
He said to them, "Is it not written, 'He spreads light like a garment' (Psalms 104:2)?"
