g where it is written, Gen. xxix. 12, "And Jacob declared unto Rachel
that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son."
It is written "Rebekah's son," and not "the son of Isaac." And all the
mysteries are in Chokmah.(853)
And therefore is (Chokmah) called the Perfection of all; and to it is
ascribed the name of Truth.
And therefore is it written, "And Jacob declared," and not written, "and
Jacob said."
Those (two) colors are extended throughout the whole Body (of
Microprosopus), and His Body cohereth with them.
In the Most Holy Ancient One, the Concealed with all Concealments,
(things) are not ascribed diversely, and unto Him do they not tend
(diversely), since the whole is the same (with itself) and (thus is) life
unto all (things); and from Him judgment dependeth not (directly).
But concerning Him (Microprosopus) it is written, that unto Him are
ascribed (diverse) works, properly speaking.
Chapter XII: Concerning the Hair of Microprosopus
From the skull of the Head (of Microprosopus) depend all those chiefs and
leaders (otherwise, all those thousands and tens of thousands), and also
from the locks of the hair.
Which are black, and mutually bound together, and which mutually cohere.
But they adhere unto the Supernal Light from the Father, AB, _Ab_, which
surroundeth His Head (_i.e._, that of Microprosopus); and unto the Brain,
which is illuminated from the Father.
Thencefrom, even from the light which surroundeth His Head (_i.e._, that
of Microprosopus) from the Mother, Aima, and from the second Brain,
proceed long locks upon locks (of hair).
And all adhere unto and are bound together with those locks(854) which
have their connection with the Father.
And because (these locks are) mutually intermingled with each other, and
mutually intertwined with each other, hence all the Brains are connected
with the Supernal Brain (of Macroprosopus).
And hence all the regions which proceed from the Three Cavities of the
Skull are mingled mutually together, as well pure as impure, and all those
accents and mysteries are as well hidden as manifest.
And since all the Brains have a secret connection with the ears of
Tetragrammaton, in the same way as they shine in the crown of the Head,
and enter into the hollow places of the Skull.
Hence all these locks hang over and cover the sides of the ears, as we
have elsewhere said.
And therefore is it written, 2 Kings xix. 16, "Incline
