The Sepher Ha-Zohar Or The Book of Light

Description

This is the only extensive translation of a portion of the Zohar, the longest and one of the most important texts of the Kabbalah, in the public domain. The Zohar is a Kabbalistic commentary on the Hebrew Bible. Well before the emergence of the 'Bible Code,' Jewish scholars endeavored to extract profound meanings from every syllable of the Hebrew Bible, employing methods such as numerology, gematria, and various other techniques. Within this book, numerous pages are dedicated to analyzing the hidden significance behind the initial letters of Genesis. Infinitesimal details and shifts in wording, which you may have come across and forgotten long ago, unveil vast vistas of a mysterious world within our own. This is not a critical edition; written by a pseudonymous Theosophist, probably British, it is laced with out-of-place terminology such as 'Karma' and 'Planes.' It nevertheless gives us a glimpse of one of the most magical of the world's sacred texts.

This book has 157,559 words, 275 pages in the PDF version, and was originally published in 1914.
