sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In Sefer Yetzirah it is the opposite of fruitfulness, one of the pairs that go with the seven double letters. Interpretation: The book pairs each double letter with a quality and its opposite, such as wisdom and ignorance. This shows that creation is built on balanced opposites.

examples

• These are double, because their opposites take part in life, opposed to Life is Death; to Peace, War; to Riches, Poverty; to Beauty or Reputation, Deformity or Disrepute; to Wisdom, Ignorance; to Fruitfulness, Sterility; to Power, Slavery. (Sefer Yetzirah, Westcott 1887) tree →
