4:2 Seven Doubles, BGD KPRT: Seven and not six, seven and not eight. Examine with them and probe from them,
make each thing stand on its own essence, and make the Creator sit on His base.
4:3 Seven Doubles, BGD KPRT, parallel the seven extremities. These are the six extremities: up, down, east, west, north, south. And the Holy Palace precisely in the middle upholds them all. 4:4 Seven Doubles, BGD KPRT: Engrave them, carve them, combine them, as planets in the Universe, days in the Year, and gates in the Soul. From them engrave seven firmaments, seven earths, seven weeks. Seven is therefore beloved under all heavens. Kaplan SY 1991 Short p.264 | ||||||||||||||||||

(see these words in 2:2) Vetsar (formed) with Kawkabim (plural of Kawkab:
Kaf-Waw-Kaf-Bayt, which will be seen, further on, in the name of Mercury, "messenger of the gods,"
here indicates, in plural, the seven astrological planets combined, in their capacity of inverted emanations of the
YHWH principle). Resuming: Kawkabim Be-Olam (in the universe) Ve Yamon Beschinah: the seven

Schabyi (seventh) is what Elohim sactifies and blesses in Genesis 2:2 and 3. Schamaim, traditionally "heaven" is the action of Sheen on Maim, the waters.
