Kabbalah sa Mga Awit 82:6: Pardes Rimmonim

And see the order of the celestial spheres, the astronomers, those of dark vision, imagined that the celestial sphere is [so] close to its neighbour that there is no space between them. But this is not the opinion of the masters of Torah and of those who see with the light of the world, but [they hold] that between firmament and firmament there is a (diurnal) distance of five hundred years⁷Babylonian Talmud, Chagigah 13a, and even when this space is between them, yet the subject teaches the equivalence of Creation and its necessity, and that it is not possible that there is less between planet and planet. From this to the descent of the subject towards the element of Fire, and the element of Fire is unifying itself with the element of Air, and the element of Air is unifying itself with the element of Water and the element of Water is unifying itself with the element of Earth, this [one] is above this [one], and there is no space between them.
And now, who will ‘place a mouth to man’⁸Allusion to Exodus 4:11 to ask that there will be more such and such degrees, or less than they, such and such, or why did He not create the world bigger than this, or smaller than this? As all this is a big foolishness for those who know the order of the degrees.
And the disposition of the world is in the most excellent reality as is possible in the order of the degrees, from the highest [degree] possible in reality until the lowest [degree] possible in reality, whether with limit or with end or with materiality. And see, if there would not be between Him [= the Creator] and the world the order of the Sefirot, it would not be possible for the world, because of its decrease, to be conducted by means of the En Sof, if it is not that the ascends with the spiritual degrees which are the Sefirot, and for this subject He already caused to emanate the Sefirot. And this is not the intention [of emanation], but [the intention is] to reveal the Emanation and the Godhead, and not to conceal Him. And His revelation is by means of the descents of the degrees to the lowest aspect, which are [as they are] now. As see, even this earth, the thick one, the mixing one until its navel, it has degree after degree until seven earths, as we will explain a bit on this in the [Gate of the] Order of their Position [Gate VI] with help of HaShem. Opposite [is] the opinion of the simple measurers who thought they could give the size of the earth and [who] said that a line of twenty-two thousand miles would encircle it around, whereas [if] the earth would be obscured, it [= the line] would be passing in the direction of its [= the earth] face, the lower regions with a thickness of seven thousand three-hundred-thirty-three and one-third miles, and they [= the measurers] ‘go about in darkness’⁹An allusion to Psalms 82:6 themselves¹⁰This passage is not entirely clear to me, so its translation must be partly incorrect. Note that 7333 1/3 is exactly one third of 22000.
