Partie 13 · Chapitre 149

And these twelve locks are the twelve Yods that are in the three aforementioned Names in their fillings of Ab (72). And the twelve Yods of the three Names of the twelve whitenesses shine in these twelve locks, for these twelve locks are drawn from those twelve Yods of the twelve whitenesses, and they all join together. And there is another lock that includes all the twelve locks, and they are twelve other Yods, drawn from the twelve Yods themselves that were drawn from the twelve Yods of the twelve whitenesses into these twelve locks; and after they descend there, from their illumination twelve other Yods were drawn, and from them the thirteenth lock was made. And see in the Sha'ar [Gate], Part 1, Chapter 7, that all these locks, which are Yods, also have in them vowels and accents (teamim), and they are drawn from the twelve whitenesses.
