Ten ethereal inscriptions (Sefirot = attributes or emanations of the tree of life)

One: Breath of the Living God - She is the Holy Spirit

Two: Breath from Breath. He engraved and carved within Her the four winds of heaven.

Three: Water from Wind. He engraved and carved in Them chaos and void, mud and clay- engraved Them like a kind of garden, carved Them like a kind of wall, wove Them like a kind of ceiling.

Four: Fire from Water. He engraved and carved in Her the Throne of Glory and all the heavenly hosts, for so it is written: He makes the winds His messengers, flaming fire His ministers.

Eagle's Wings

Once it came to pass that great King David, ruler of Israel, begged God to learn the day of his death. God refused, saying it was not permitted for mortals to know. But David begged the One God, and so God told David, “You shall die on the Sabbath.” David grew fearful and sad. Sabbath, normally a joyous day of rest and recovery, spent with family, now took on a dreadful tone. But he knew that one who is engaged in the study of Torah cannot be harmed by the Angel of Death. So each Sabbath he hunched over a Torah scroll, studying its deepest secrets. The Angel of Death came on the appointed day, but found David in holy Torah study, and so he was powerless against him.

The Angel of Death climbed into a pomegranate tree, the most beautiful in all the king’s gardens, and shook the trees as if in a tempest. The sky grew dark, the air thundered as if in a storm, and all the fruit fell to the ground. Hearing what he thought was a storm, King David forgot his Torah and ran to inspect his orchard. In his haste he tripped down the steep stone steps and broke his neck. And there he died, his soul returning to God. Yet it was the Sabbath, and his son Solomon could not bury the body on this day of rest. Solomon had power over all the animals and called in eagles from all corners of the globe. The eagles watched the dead king’s body as the sun crossed the sky, and their shadow was the last gift David received in the earthly kingdom.
