DAY 177

God says: “I am the Infinite One who dwells deep within the bowels of the earth; the earth belongs to me, and you are but temporary residents with me.”

—Hebrew Scriptures, Books of Exodus 8:18; Leviticus 25:23; Psalms 24:1

DAY 178

It is already established knowledge that all that exists Below spirals into manifestation from Above, spiral upon spiral. And behold, the existence of the Below is Still Being (stones), Sprouting Being (plants), Life Being (animals), and Speaking Being (human), and these correspond with the four basic elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. Still Being emanates from the element Earth, and Sprouting Being emanates from the element Water, since it is the rainfall that moisturizes the land that births and sprouts forth vegetation. Life Being emanates from the element of Air, and is described as “all that has in it the Living Spirit” (Genesis 6:17), and if not for that Living Spirit, which is of the element Air, it would die. Speaking Being is the human, whose distinctiveness is by virtue of its Soul Breath (Genesis 2:7), which emanates from the element of Fire Spirit, as is written: “a flame of the Infinite One is the Soul Breath of the human” (Proverbs 20:27).

—Sixteenth-century RABBI YESHAYAHU BEN AVRAHAM in Sh’lah ahl Sefer Vayik’ra, Perek Torah Ohr M’Sefer Torat Kohanim, Ch. 4
