„It seems likely — and so it was always assumed in the Jewish tradition — that this creation involved magic (создавање како она на богот) though in a perfectly permissible form.
The letters of the alphabet(22-те еврејски букви врзани со 22-те патеки на Дрвото на Животот) — and how much more so those of the divine name or of the entire Torah, which was God's instrument of Creation — have secret, magical power.
The initiate knows how to make use of them. Bezalel, who built the Tabernacle, 'knew the combinations of letters with which heaven and earth were made'
— so we read in the name of a Babylonian scholar of the early third century, the most prominent representative of the esoteric tradition in his generation.
The letters in question were unquestionably those of the name of God, for it was generally held by the esoteric Jewish thinkers
of the time that heaven and earth had been created by the great name of God. In building the Tabernacles, Bezalel had been able
to imitate the Creation on a small scale. For the Tabernacle is a complete microcosm, a miraculous copy of everything that is in heaven and on earth.“
