Segment 1א׳

רִבִּי אֶלְעָזָר פָּתַח, (ישעיהו ז׳:י״א) שְׁאַל לְךָ אוֹת מֵעִם יְיָ' אֱלֹהֶיךָ הַעֲמֵק שְׁאָלָה אוֹ הַגְבֵּהַּ לְמָעְלָה. אִסְתַּכַּלְנָא בְּדָרִין קַדְמָאִין וְדָרִין בַּתְרָאִין, מַה בֵּין דָּרִין קַדְמָאִין לְדָרִין בַּתְרָאִין. דָּרִין קַדְמָאִין הֲווֹ יַדְעִין וּמִסְתַּכְּלִין בְּחָכְמְתָא עִלָּאָה, וְיַדְעִין לְצָרְפָא אַתְוָון דְּאִתְיְהִיבוּ לֵיהּ לְמֹשֶׁה בְּסִינַי, וַאֲפִילּוּ חַיָּיבִין דִּבְהוֹן בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, הֲווֹ יַדְעִין גּוֹ אַתְוָון חָכְמְתָא עִלָּאָה. וְיַדְעִין גּוֹ אַתְוָון עִלָּאִין, וְגוֹ אַתְוָון תַּתָּאִין, חָכְמְתָא לְאַנְהָגָא עוֹבָדִין בְּהַאי עָלְמָא.

R. Eleazar began here with the verse, “Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God, ask it either in the depth or in the height above” (Isa. 7, 11). He said: ‘We have compared the former with the latter generations, and found that the former were conversant with a higher wisdom by which they knew how to combine the letters that were given to Moses on Mount Sinai, and even the sinners of Israel knew a deep wisdom contained in the letters and the difference between higher and lower letters, and how to do things with them in this world.

Segment 2ב׳

בְּגִין דְּכָל אָת וְאָת דְּאִתְּמְסַר לֵיהּ לְמֹשֶׁה, הֲווֹ מִתְעַטְּרִין וְסַלְּקִין עַל רֵישַׁיְיהוּ דְּחֵיוָון עִלָּאִין קַדִּישִׁין. וְכֻלְּהוּ חֵיוָון הֲווֹ מִתְעַטְּרֵי בְּהוּ, וּפַרְחִין גּוֹ אֲוִירָא, דְּנַחְתָּא מִגּוֹ אֲוִירָא עִלָּאָה, דָּקִיק דְּלָא יְדִיעַ.

For every letter that was transmitted to Moses used to ascend as a crown upon the heads of the holy celestial Hayyoth, who with them flitted through the ether which is under the refined and unknowable supernal ether.

Segment 3ג׳

וסַלְּקִין וְנַחְתִּין אַתְוָון רַבְרְבִין וְאַתְוָון דְּקִיקִין. אַתְוָון רַבְרְבִין נַחְתִּין מִגּוֹ הֵיכָלָא עִלָּאָה טְמִירָא דְּכֹלָּא, וְאַתְוָון דְּקִיקִין הֲווֹ נַחְתִּין מִגּוֹ הֵיכָלָא אָחֳרָא תַּתָּאָה, ואִלֵּין ואִלֵּין אִתְמְסָרוּ לֵיהּ לְמֹשֶׁה בְּסִינַי.
