Book of Remembrance Chapter 33:5-8: Chokhmah, Raphael who is Raziel and Melchizedek
In this episode we talk about Chokhmah and this Sefirot's assigned angel as understood in the Book of Remembrance.
From the Book of Remembrance:
"The second and the third is Chokhmah (Wisdom), the beginning of the path, before the creation. And by only by Wisdom may knowledge be understood, for the beginning of wisdom is the fear of YHVH. Wisdom is the Right Eye; from Wisdom came the Torah, the treasure of Heaven. And Raphael who is Raziel is its herald, and Raphael walked the earth as Melchizedek until I took him." Book of Remembrance 33:5-8
“And thou shalt speak unto all that are wisehearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.” -Exodus 28:3
“O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all.” -Psalms 104:24
“I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.” -Proverbs 8:23
“For Wisdom is more moving than any motion: She passeth and goeth through all things by reason of Her pureness, for She is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into Her. For She is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of His goodness; and being but One, She can do all things: and remaining in Herself, She maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, She maketh them friends of God, and prophets; for God loveth none but they that dwelleth with Wisdom." -Wisdom of Solomon 7:24-28
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” -Proverbs 9:10
“And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than hehas strength.” -Mosiah 2:44 RAV, 4:27a OPV
“The Zohar (3:235b, Raya Mehemna), breaks up the word chochmah itself into two words, koach, and mah. Koach means “potential,” and “mah” means “what is.” Thus chochmah means, “the potential of what is,” or, “the potential to be.” -Zohar, as translated by Moshe Miller
“It is thus written, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. The word beginning is nothing other than Wisdom. It is thus written, “The beginning is wisdom, the fear of God.” -HaBihir 1:3
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” -Proverbs 1:7
“And I was taken away in the spirit, and I beheld as it were a throne in the heavens, and a Man, Ahmen and a Woman, Shekinah who sat upon the throne; and They had in one hand a great sapphire upon which was written the Torah and in the other a great emerald upon which were written the mysteries of the temple.” -Zenos 2:4-5
“And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of Tobit's eyes, and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit.” -Tobit 3:17
“And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” - Romans 8:17
