Introduction of Rabbi Abraham, of blessed memory

And you shall write the "Small Birth" Molad Katan: A calculation for the appearance of the new moon, used here to track spiritual cycles within the guidance. All its "births" Referring to the moments of planetary or lunar emergence are blessed; this is an addition for those who consume, and that is an addition for everyone, until they are subdued and attain merit. The Altar is compared to the "Death of the Waters" A mystical reference to the cooling or stabilization of primordial forces for the sake of Kindness (Chesed). The sign of the Crab The zodiac sign Cancer (Sartan) is within the Wisdom of the Holy One, blessed be He, in the Spirit. You shall write "three" upon the tree (Foundation/Yesod). The "Gates of Death" of the right-hand wine shall be opened for you; every pious person and every species requires a "Gate." The souls of the dead are ushered through a key belonging to him, whether by "Death at the hands of Heaven" or by physical death.

And the "Gates of Shame" Possibly referring to the trials or humiliations of the physical world which spread over all the "Circles" Original Hebrew: Macholot (dances or circular cycles). This refers to the cyclical nature of life's trials. are, as it were, present as a reward: whether in life, in the desert, or in all the commerce of the cycle.

Know for the sake of wisdom that the power called "Death" is not the absence of existence for all twelve "Places." Since the Soul Neshamah: The highest, intellectual level of the soul dwells there with the Spirit Ruach: The middle, emotional level of the soul and the Vital Soul Nefesh: The lowest, physical level of the soul, it is her portion in life and it is the Glory of the Lord (Tiferet). Observe that those who "cling to the born" (Tiferet) belong to the division of the Ten Sefirot The ten emanations of God in Kabbalah, for in Beauty (Tiferet) and the Crown (Atarah/Malchut) are the foundations of the twelve holy tribes. These are the twelve "Havot" Places of life or settlements through which "the soul of every living thing and the spirit of all human flesh" is held in His hand.

The souls of the year and the three spirits possess twelve "Strengths" in Beauty (Tiferet) and twelve "Strengths" in the Crown (Atarah). Within them are the souls of the twelve tribes that encompass all of Israel. Behold, from the Divine Name (Havayah) comes the tribe that rules the soul. They called it the "House of Life," followed by the "House of Wealth," "House of Relatives," "House of Ancestors," "House of Children," "House of Sickness," "House of Marriage," "House of Death," "House of the Way of Exile," "House of Dominion," "House of Inquiry," and "House of Debt" These correspond to the twelve houses of an astrological chart, mapping every aspect of human existence from birth to death and legacy..

The diagram described in the source is a circular "map" of the universe. It places "The Abode of the Sun" at the center, surrounded by the Twelve Tribes, the Twelve Houses of Life (e.g., Wealth, Children, Death), and the Signs of the Zodiac. This illustrates the belief that every individual's life is governed by a specific tribe and astrological configuration directed by the Divine.
