river which floweth on and goeth forth is called the World, which
is ever to come and ceaseth never.

And this is the delight of the just, that they may be made worthy of that
world which is to come, which ever watereth the garden of Eden, nor
faileth.

Concerning this it is written, Isa. lviii. 11, "And like a fountain of
water, whose waters fail not."

And that world to come is created through I, _Yod_.

As it is written, Gen. ii. 9, "And a river went forth out of Eden to water
the garden."

For I, _Yod_, includeth two letters.

In the teaching of the school of Rav Yeyeva the Elder thus is the
tradition. Wherefore are VD, _Vau Daleth_,(828) comprehended in IVD,
_Yod_? Assuredly the planting of the garden is properly called V, _Vau_;
and there is another garden which is D, _Daleth_, and by that Vau is
Daleth watered, which is the symbol of the quaternary.(829)

And an Arcanum is extended from this passage, where it is written, "And a
river went forth out of Eden."

What is Eden? It is the supernal CHKMH, _Chokmah_, Wisdom, and that is I,
_Yod_ (in _I_, _V_, _D_).

"To water the garden." That is V, _Vau_.

"And thence it is divided, and goeth forth into four heads." That is D,
_Daleth_.

And all things are included in IVD, _Yod_, and therefore is the Father
called All, the Father of Fathers.

The beginning of all is called the Home of All. Whence IVD, _Yod_, is the
beginning and the end of all; like as it is written, Ps. civ. 24, "All
things in Chokmah hast Thou made."

In His place He is not manifested, neither is He known; when He is
associated with the Mother, BAMA, _Be-Ama_, then is He made known
(otherwise, symbolized) in the Mother, BAIMA, _Be-Aima_.(830)

And therefore is Aima known to be the consummation of all things, and She
is signified to be the beginning and the end.

For all things are called Chokmah, and therein are all things concealed;
and the Syntagma of all things is the Holy Name.

Thus far have we mystically described that which we have not said on all
the other days. But now are the aspects shown forth.

(As to the Sacred Name _IHVH_) I, _Yod_, is included in this Chokmah,
Wisdom; H, _He_, is Aima, and is called Binah, Understanding; VH, _Vau
He_, are those two Children who are produced from Aima, the Mother.

Also we have learned that the name BINH, Binah, comprehendeth all things.
For in Her is I, _Yod_, which is associated with Aima, or the letter H,
_He_, and together th
