Pardes Rimmonim 21

1. The intention now is to explain the Name of 42 letters, and it is called so for it consists of 42 letters, as we will explain. This is the name with its vocalization:

2. Abgayitatz Qera'Shetan Negad Yekash Betar Tzetag Khaqbatna' Yegalpzaq Shequtzit

3. Therefore, as we have vocalized it, so do we find it in the prayer of Rabbi Nehunya. According to the words of a Kabbalist based on those revealed by angel, it is written as follows: "אבגיתץ" is vocalized with a patach and sheva, with the aleph, bet, and gimel vocalized with patach, and the yod with sheva, and the tav with patach and dagesh. "קרע שטן" the Qof with sheva, the resh with patach, the shin with sheva, and the tet with kamatz. "נגד יכש" in this way: the nun with sheva, the gimel with patach, the dalet with sheva, the yod with patach, and the kaf also with patach. "בטר צתג" the bet with sheva, the tet with patach, the tzadi with sheva, and the tav with patach. "חקבטנע" the chet with patach, the kuf with sheva, the bet with patach and dagesh, the tet with sheva and dagesh, the nun with patach, and the ayin without vocalization. "יגל פזק" the yod with sheva and dagesh, the gimel with patach without dagesh, the peh with dagesh and sheva, the zayin with patach, and the kuf without any vocalization. "שקוצית" is vocalized in this way: the shin with kamatz, the kuf with sheva, the vav with kamatz, and the tzadi with chiriq. This is its vocalization. It is known that the secret of the patach is a great secret to open from above the gates of complete mercies because it is complete mercies. And the secret of the kamatz (Psalms 87:10) "Kafatz (jump) with anger, his mercies," meaning if you vocalize it with kamatz, it jumps with anger, and be careful not to vocalize it with kamatz except to exact vengeance. In place of the sheva, use chiriq, and with it, you will achieve wondrous wonders. With patach, you will achieve the actions of mercies and open blessings until there is no more, as it is written (Malachi 3) "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out..." This is in relation to our matter. And now let us return to the explanation of the name, which is hinted at in the Sefirah of Gevurah, and its source is from the verse "In the beginning, God created" until the "bet" of "and the earth" (Genesis 1:1-2). Thus, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai explained in the Tikunim, in Tikun 4, as follows: Rabbi Shimon stood on his feet and said, "Master of the Worlds, open my eyes to see them above. I will come in the Name of 42 letters, the name explained to know each letter and its arrangement. And they are 'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was formless and void.'" "בראשית ברא אלה ימאת הש מימואת הארצוה ארצהית התהווב." And they are: אבגיתץ קרע שטן נגדיכש בטרצתג חקבטנע יגלפזק שקוצית. Each letter has a saying, and each has a path. Ten sayings are they, and 32 paths, and all depend on "IYH," and this is "Ab" with 42 letters, acknowledging "YH," "IYH," in the calculation acknowledging "YH" ("YH" is Wisdom and Understanding, "A" is the higher Crown). And these are the seven Sefirot included in the seven names, and all are included in the seventh.

4. The measure of the verse is "Open to me the gates of righteousness," which is the Shechinah when it is called "Bat Sheva" for it is included from these seven names which are the seven Sefirot. Then it is called righteousness, from the other side of the paths and sayings. After that, I will come in the name of 42 letters, which are ten sayings and 32 paths, and each letter has a power from the sayings or the paths. "Acknowledge YH" are the first three remaining.

5. Therefore, the explanation of this name's source is from the verse "In the beginning, God created" until the "bet" of "and the earth," and there is some confusion as we will write. There are those who divided these letters into three parts, which are three hands: the right hand, the high hand, and the strong hand. And this is its arrangement with its vocalization: בראשית ברא אלה ימ - This is the great right hand. אתהש מימואתהא רצ - This is the high hand of mercies. והארצה יתהתהו וב - This is the strong hand.

6. And it is also written that these 42 letters are at the end of the Torah, in the verse "And all the mighty hand and all the great terror" (Deuteronomy 34:12). There also are three hands, and they are these: "And all the mighty hand" until "the end" - this is the first hand. "All the great terror which" until "the end" - this is the second hand. "Moses performed before the eyes of all" until "the end" - this is the third hand. Thus I found. And it is possible that these points (vocalizations) are like the points (vocalizations) of the letters in the Name from "In the beginning" as we hinted above. And we have heard it said that these are the words of the pious and wise Rabbi Shlomo Molcho, of blessed memory. In this Name, we found in the book "HaKanah" names whose initial letters form the 42-letter Name, and it appears that these are a garment for this Name. These are the names as he wrote in his book:

7. Adiriron, Bihariron, Gebiriron, Yagbihayah, Telamyah, Tzetanya', Qedamiyah, Regaryah, `Ariryah, Shega`ayah, Telatyah, Naharyah, Nishmaryah, Ge'aryah, Deharyah, Ye`alyah, Kasyah, Shinyonyah, Bo'alyah, Todaryah, Ramyah, Tzatzitzyah, Tehabehyah, Galgalyah, Chinanyah, Qataqayah, Behabehabyah, Tawhawayah, Nitanyah, `Amamayah, Yehalsharyah, Gudarayah, Lemimaryah, Peqorqaryah, Zahrayah, Qemalyah, Shatahodrayah, Qadoshyah, Weha'el'elyah, Tze'adyah, Yetahadaryah, Tamtelyah

8. The intention is that the 42 letters of the Name are 42 luminous lights, spiritual forms, and each one's name as mentioned above, indicating the letter of the Name, which is its source. It comes at the beginning of its name as a sign of the letter to indicate that the branch is rooted in the source and the source in the branch, and to show that it is an emanation emanated from that source.I also found in the wise men's repository a method of two 42 (angelic) names whose initials are the holy name, and these are they: Urpaniel, Boel, Gabriel, Yofiel, Tumiel, Tzadqiel, Qabtziel, Rebahiel, 'Aziziel, Shamshiel, Tupiel, Nuriel, Nahliel, Geburiel, Daniel, Yehudiel, Kabshiel, Sha'ariel, Berakiel, Taftafiel, Rahmiel, Tzafuniel, Terumiel, Gedudiel, Hazael, Qumiel, Baraqiel, Tahariel, Nuriel, Amiel, Yishrael, Gadiel, Lehabiel, Panuel, Zakriel, Qadoshiel, Shelgiel, Qarbiel, Wawiel, Tzuriel, Yalpiel, Tabriel.There is no doubt that the ancient names surpass these in their hidden and exalted nature. And there is yet a third method found in the books of the ancients.
