The Book of Splendor: Genesis

Until the Nehiru (Light) arrives, drawing near like the flash of a blade of fire, and the Zohar (Radiance) that is prepared shines forth to mend. This Zohar sends out colors of the Raza (Secret) of the scorched white; their likeness emerges for you. They are lights that explain the colors that approach the light, shining for the Nishmata (Soul). They explain without the white, shining to kindle a river that shines and never ceases.

And the earth was without form, and void; and this is [from the aspect of the secret] of the white that stands, a voice that emerges from the Amka (Depth), delighting in the rest of the white that emerges in its hour. It stands when Chesed (Mercy/Loving-kindness) is powerful, and by this, they are spread out and crowned in a single bundle at its corners—the nest of the Left. And how much Vohu (Void) is there for the light that commits an offense by which one may not benefit? Chesed emerges to establish the Yesod (Foundation), for certainly Chesed is warm over all; it is above that which is dross, and it is mended and dwells there.

And the Spirit of God moved in the holiness of the Nishmata from the side of Life. This is the Meheimanuta (Faith/Faithfulness) over all the world, because this Spirit descends after they established one of them—a vision enclosed in a drop of the Faithful. Afterwards, it emerges, flows, and is mended until it is crowned by that breath that emerges within it, and all is made faithful. Thus, it stands afterward and comes and emerges from the Nishmata, a Ruach Kadish (Holy Spirit) from the Amka. It passes through the midst of the joy that saw it; afterward, Vohu is given. From the blink of a moment—then the joy recedes for a moment—it settles, and it is in the Spirit of Shaddai (Almighty), though not for her sake, but for this holy "Other."

Afterward, the Spirit is conceived in this Spirit; a voice (Kola) is heard before the place. Afterward, the Peh (Mouth) gazes, and I was not confounded, nor was I scattered like the spirit that was established for them. All that is gathered in the Peh until every kind of Tal (Dew) is in every dead thing that speaks and prophesies—except for this voice that is shown. The Peh emerges as the whole, and it was not so for the strangers of the living, leading the light.
