Part 13 · Chapter 16

Also these nine were mentioned in the Idra, page 288, side A: "Rabbi Shimon opened and said, 'I am to my beloved and his desire is upon me,' etc., 'the Ancient of all ancients, the concealed of all concealments, was adorned and not adorned, etc.; when He was adorned, He brought out nine flaming lights from His adornments, and those lights spread to every side, like a lamp from which lights spread to every side,' etc.
