476. In the book of Rav Hamnuna Saba (the elder), IT IS WRITTEN THAT THE WORD, 'CHET (ENG. 'SIN')' contains the two letters Chet and Tet. Therefore, they were not written in the Onyx Stones and in the stones to be set, because the tribes of Yisrael had these two letters withheld from them, so that there should not be marked in them Chet Tet, MEANING SIN.

477. All the letters of the alphabet are suspended in the site of the Temple in engraved secrets of the Holy Names, bound and embroidered on it. And the entire world of above and below is bordered and engraved in the secret of the letters, and the secret of the supernal Holy Name, NAMELY, YUD HEI VAV HEI is engraved on them.

478. In the tabernacle, the letters were engraved and formed properly, because Betzalel knew the Wisdom of permutating the letters with which the heaven and earth were created. Because of his Wisdom, the tabernacle was build by him and he was chosen from among all the people of Yisrael.

479. He was chosen above and so did the Holy One, blessed be He, want him to be chosen below, as it is written THAT THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE, SAID TO MOSES, "See I have called by name Betzalel" (Shemot 31:2). MOSES SAID TO YISRAEL, "See, Hashem has called by name Betzalel" (Shemot 35:30). His name is in a supernal secret called 'Betzalel,' WHICH MEANS Betzel (Eng. 'in the shadow') of El. Who is he? He is Righteous, MEANING YESOD, who sits in that shadow of El that is called 'supernal El,' MEANING TIFERET. He, BETZALEL, is placed like that El, WHO IS TIFERET, as that El takes six extremities, BECAUSE TIFERET TAKES SIX EXTREMITIES, CHESED, GVURAH, TIFERET NETZACH, HOD AND YESOD, and the Righteous, WHO IS YESOD, takes them. So that El illuminates above and this Righteous One illuminates below, TO MALCHUT. That El, WHO IS TIFERET, combines six ends, while that Righteous one is the combination of all six ends.

480. "The son of Uri" (Ibid.) MEANS the son of the primordial light (Heb. or) that the Holy One, blessed be He, created during the work of Creation. "The son of Chur" (Ibid.) MEANS the son of the freedom (Heb. cherut) in everything, NAMELY THE LIGHT OF BINAH, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF FREEDOM. Another explanation, "The son of Chur" means the son who is white (Heb. chiver) MEANING white of all the colors, MEANING THAT THE LIGHT OF CHASSADIM, WHICH IS WHITE, IS IN ASCENDANCY IN HIM. And he, BETZALEL, WHO IS YESOD, was appointed over the tribe of Judah, THAT IS THE SECRET OF MALCHUT. Everything is as it should be, BECAUSE YESOD HAS TO BE JOINED WITH MALCHUT.
