Et dans le ''[[Sepher Yetzirah]]'', quand les Trois-en-Un sont appelés à l'existence - par la manifestation de [[Shekhinah]], la première effusion ou radiation dans le Kosmos manifesté - l' "Esprit de Dieu", ou Nombre Un<ref></ref>, fructifie et réveille le Pouvoir dual, Nombre Deux, l'Air, et le Nombre Trois, l'Eau ; dans ceux-là "sont les ténèbres et le vide, slime and dung" - qui est le Chaos, le Tohu-Vah-Bohu. L'Air et l'Eau émanent le Nombre Quatre, l'Ether ou le Feu, le Fils. C'est le Quaternaire Kabbalistique. Ce Nombre Quatre, qui dans le Kosmos manifesté est l'Unique, ou le Dieu Créateur, est avec les Hindous l' "Ancien", Sanat, le Prajâpati des Védas et le Brahmâ des Brâhmans - l'Androgyne céleste, comme il ne devient le mâle seulement après s'être séparé en deux corps, Vâch et Virâj. Avec les Kabbalistes, il est en premier lieu le Yôd-Havâh, qui devient plus tard Jehovah, comme Virâj, son prototype, après s'être séparé lui même comme Adam-Kadmon en Adam et Eve dans l'abstrait sans forme, et en Caïn-Abel dans le monde semi-objectif, il devient finalement le Yôd-Havâh, ou homme et femme, dans Enoch, le fils de Seth.  
As is constantly shown in the Zohar, the Infinite Unity, or Ain-Soph, is ever placed outside human thought and appreciation; and in Sepher Yetzirâh we see the Spirit of God—the Logos, not the Deity itself—called One.
 
One is the Spirit of the living God, . . . who liveth forever. Voice, Spirit, [of the Spirit], and Word: this is the Holy Spirit, <ref>Spher Yetzirah, I, §9.</ref>, and the Quaternary. From this Cube emanates the whole Kosmos.
 
Says the Secret Doctrine :
 
<blockquote>It is called to life. The mystic Cube in which rests the Creative Idea, the manifesting Mantra [or articulate speech— Vach] and the holy Purusha [both radiations of prima materia] exist in the Eternity in the Divine Substance in their latent state</blockquote>

And in the Sepher Yetzirah, when the Three-in-One are to be called into being—by the manifestation of Shekhinah, the first effulgency or radiation in the manifesting Kosmos—the “Spirit of God,” or Number One,<ref>In its manifested state it becomes Ten, the Universe. In the Chaldaean Kabalah it is sexless. In the Jewish, Shekhinah is female, and the early Christians and Gnostics regarded the Holy Ghost as a female potency. In the Book of Numbers “Shekhina” is made to drop the final “h” that makes it a feminine name. Narayana, the Mover on the Waters, is also sexless; but it is our firm belief that Shekhînah and Daiviprakiti, the “Light of the Logos,” are one and the same thing philosophically.</ref> fructifies and awakens the dual Potency, Number Two, Air, and Number Three, Water; in these “are darkness and emptiness, slime and dung”—which is Chaos, the Tohu-Vah-Bohu. The Air and Water emanate Number Four, Ether or Fire, the Son. This is the Kabalistic Quaternary. This Fourth Number, which in the manifested Kosmos is the One, or the Creative God, is with the Hindus the “Ancient,” Sanat, the Prajâpati of the Vedas and the Brahmâ of the Brâhmans—the heavenly Androgyne, as he becomes the male only after separating himself into two bodies, Vâch and Virâj. With the Kabalists, he is at first the Yôd-Havâh, only later becoming Jehovah, like Virâj, his prototype, after separating himself as Adam-Kadmon into Adam and Eve in the formless, and into Cain-Abel in the semiobjective world, he became finally the Yôd-Havâh, or man and woman, in Enoch, the son of Seth.
