Segment 1א׳

תְּנָן, י' שֵׁמוֹת אִשְׁתָּכְלָלוּ וְנַפְקוּ מֵהַאי יוֹ"ד. י' דְּהִיא עֲשִׂירָאָה דְּאַתְוָון. וְכֻלְּהוּ אָעִיל לוֹן לְהַהוּא נָהָר קַדִּישָׁא, כַּד אִתְעַבְּרָא. וַעֲשָׂרָה שְׁמָהָן כֻּלְּהוּ סְתִימִין בְּחָד. וְכֻלְּהוּ סְתִימִין בְּי'. י' כָּלִיל לוֹן. י' אַפִּיק לוֹן. הוּא אָב לְכֹלָּא. אָב לַאֲבָהָן.

We have learnt: ten names were perfected and issued from this Yod, the Yod that is the tenth of the letters. And it brought them all into that holy river when she was impregnated. And the ten names are all hidden in one, and they are all hidden in the Yod. The Yod comprises them; the Yod brings them forth. It is father of all, father to the fathers.

Segment 2ב׳

מִנֵּיהּ (ס"א וביה יתבין) (ביה עשר תיבין) נַפְקוּ ו"ד. רֶמֶז לַעֲשָׂרָה בְּחֶשְׁבּוֹן. אַתְוָון יוֹ"ד כָּלִיל לוֹן ו"ד, (ס"איו"ד) שְׁלִימוּ דְּכֹלָּא. ו"ד: דְּכַר וְנוּקְבָּא. דּוּ קָרֵינָן לוֹן, תְּרֵין. וְעַל דָּא אָדָם דּוּ פַּרְצוּפִין אִתְבְּרֵי, וְאִינּוּן פַּרְצוּפִין דְּכַר וְנוּקְבָּא הֲווֹ, כְּגַוְונָא דִּלְעֵילָּא. ו"ד מֵעֵילָּא לְתַתָּא. ד"ו מִתַּתָּא לְעֵילָּא. וְכֹלָּא חַד מִלָּה. י"ג מְכִילָן תַּלְיָין בֵּיהּ, וְעַל דָּא יוֹ"ד כָּלִיל ו"ד כְּמָה דְּאִתְּמַר, וְהָא אוּקְמוּהָ.

From it issued Vau and Daleth, a hint of ten in number. The letters of the spelled Yod comprise Vau and Daleth, the completeness of all. Vau-Daleth: male and female. We call them du, two; and therefore Adam was created with two faces, and those faces were male and female, after the pattern of what is above. Vau-Daleth from above downward; Daleth-Vau from below upward; and all is one thing. The thirteen attributes depend upon it, and therefore the spelled Yod comprises Vau and Daleth, as has been said, and they have explained it.

Segment 3ג׳

ותָּא חֲזֵי, י' שְׁמָהָן אִינּוּן, לָקֳבֵל י' אַתְוָון. וּבְסִפְרָא דְּרַב הַמְנוּנָא סָבָא תְּמַנְיָא אִינּוּן, וּתְרֵין דַּרְגִּין, לָקֳבֵל תְּרֵין רְקִיעִין. וּמִשְׁתַּנְיָין שְׁמָהָן, עַשְׂרָה, וְתִשְׁעָה, וּתְמַנְיָא, וּשְׁבִיעָאָה.

And observe: there are ten names corresponding to ten letters. And in the book of Rab Hamnuna the Elder they are eight, and two grades corresponding to two firmaments. And the names vary: the tenth, and the ninth, and the eighth, and the seventh.
