their transgressions that they have exceeded."<br />

fv small, young, unimportant. A synonym for<br />

man, the microcosm. In Genesis 9:24: "And<br />

Noah awoke form his wine, and knew what his<br />

younger son [Canaan] had done unto him."<br />

Recall that Noah (58) means "rest, cessation";<br />

that wine (70) is connected with the bloodstream<br />

and Venus, or desire, and that Canaan is related<br />

to wrath and Mars. see 190,305.<br />

P2B1 and chance. In Ecclesistics 9: 1 1.<br />

crvqp. aner (Gr.). man. refers to Adam and to<br />

Christ. see 229 Greek, 45.<br />

"husband. The aner is greater than the<br />

Aveponoc; (Man, 13 10) anthropos. For aner<br />

means, par excellence, someone who is<br />

distinguished for a certain virtue, while<br />

anthropos means someone who is not<br />

distinguished for anything in particular. The<br />

word aner indicates the hero, the leader, the<br />

expert, it is said to be akin to avuo, 1 complete,<br />

while the noun avuots means directing, a<br />

leading-up to the Above. Both the words<br />

anthropos and aner may be of the common<br />

gender." [Omikron, 1942, pp. 249-250.1<br />

Lux, Crus Rosea (Lt). Light, the Rosy Cross.<br />

Lux ex Tenebris (Lt). Light out of Darkness.<br />

I. Number of years of the period of captivity of<br />

the Jews, from 747 - 587 B.C. (destruction of<br />

Jerusalem and the temple).<br />

Stable, lasting, enduring. This is a special<br />

spelling of the adjective for stable, using two<br />

Yods instead of the one which appears in the<br />

commoner spelling PP. Thus the basic meaning<br />

of qayam is found in its feminine verbal root<br />

signifying: to rise up, raising, erection. The<br />

secondary sense includes such ideas as "to stand<br />

out, to endure, to confirm, to establish," and it is<br />

from these that the adjective which designates<br />

the path of Mem is taken. see 150, 5 10, 650, 90<br />

and Key I2 (The Stable Intelligence).<br />

fZ3'EfN Antimony [Rabbinical Hebrew]. Metal<br />

of the earth. Perhaps the reason for Basil<br />

Valentine's emphasis on Antimony in his<br />

alchemical writings. Alchemists say that their<br />

Antimony is identically with the permanent<br />

water and the celestial water. It is therefore the<br />

same as the philosopher's Mercury. It is a<br />

cleansing and purifying agent. See 106.<br />

see Exodus 3:6.<br />

702 silver (alchemically the Moon). The<br />

sphere of the moon is Yesod, seat of the animal<br />

soul (31 1, 80). Silver refers to the reflective,<br />

mirroring power of subconsciousness. By means<br />

of this may be perceived the basic truth that "I"<br />

and "The God of my Father" are only two<br />

different ways of saying the same thing. Kehseph<br />

refers also to the idea or reversal, associated with<br />

Key 12, because silver is reflecting and reversed<br />

what it mirrors (as does water).<br />

1. Aesch Mezareph: "Cheseph, silver is referred<br />

to Gedulah on account of its whiteness which<br />

denotes mercy and piety. In is it said that by 50<br />

Silver Shekels, Deuteronomy 22:29 is<br />

understood Binah, understanding, but when from<br />

50 portals it inclines to the side of Gedulah ...<br />

Chesed, in the metallic Kingdom is Luna,<br />

Nemine Contradicente [no one contradictions].<br />

And so the lesser number of Gedulah is as that of<br />

Sama, or Sima [NEW; 102, lesser number 3,<br />

W" = 1 1 1, lesser number 31. Silver is referred<br />

to in Proverbs 16: 16 and 17:3, and also in Psalm<br />

12:7, and Job 28:l. Silver, is also found allotted<br />

to each one of the Sephirotic decad, thus see<br />

chapter 38 of Exodus, 5:17, 19, where silver<br />

forms the chapiters of the pillars representing<br />

Kether or the summit. While silver is compared<br />

with Chokmah, in Proverbs 2:4, and to Binah in<br />

Proverbs 1 6: 1 6.<br />

Gedulah is manifest out of the history of<br />

Abraham, where silver is always preferred<br />

Genesis 13:2, 23: 15,16; 24:35,53].<br />

Geburah is shown, when Silver is put in the fire,<br />

Proverbs 17:3 and Numbers 3 1 :2 1 ; Psalm 66: 10,<br />

Proverbs 27:2 1 ; Isaiah 48: 10; Ezekiel 22:22;<br />

Zechariah 13:9; Malachi 3:3.<br />

2:32. Netzach is a vein of silver, in Job 28: 1.<br />
