Part 12 · Chapter 291

And behold, then, that the Name Shaddai is hinted at in the HGT, and corresponding to them, also in the NHY there are 72, 216, 26 — in Netzach, Hod, and Yesod — and it is also Shaddai. Only that this upper Shaddai is more merciful, since it is in the three middle ones, and therefore it is with a soft (rafa) Dalet, as stated 'between his breasts he shall rest.' Behold, from there the breasts (shadayim) were made that pour the white milk, and in them the blood turns into milk, which is mercy. But the Shaddai that is with a dagesh, as stated 'and El Shaddai, etc.', which indicates judgment, is in the three last ones, NHY.
