Back matter and colophon

[Orig 107 R, running head ספר רזיאל (no folio number visible). Last printed page of the book. It ends the commentary on the 42-letter Name (the margin pairs continue from p99: קרע שטן, נגד יכש, בטר צתג, חקב טנע, יגל פזק, שקו צית), then the colophon and the printer's line. No catchword. The lower part of the page is blank.] [Margin: קרע שטן]: And he said: "I adjure you, נהליא"ל (Nahliel), ערמוניא"ל (Armoniel), טטו"פיה (Tatufiah), אצו"תיה (Atzutiah), נרעיא"ל (Naraiel), by this Name, that truth go forth, a flowing spring, before me." The letters of שע"ר קטן (a small gate) are on high. Through it Satan enters to accuse Israel, and at once the holy Living Creatures see it and strike the gate with their wings, so that he cannot come before the Shekhinah to accuse Israel. And they recall the merit of Jacob, who is called "small," as it is said: "How shall Jacob stand? For he is small" (Amos 7:2). Of this it is said: "Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth go before You" (Ps 89:15). And ס"ת (the final letters) [spell] קטן ("small"), and all is done by this Name. קרע שטן ("tear Satan"): it is good for one whose mind is deranged, or [who suffers] because of an evil spirit, or because of a שנון [unclear: "tooth/sharp one"?] and a harmful demon. One writes this Name and hangs it on his neck, and he will be healed. [Margin: נגד יכש]: And why are lashes given below 39 and on high 60? Because it is said: "Lo, all these things God works twice, three times with a man" (Job 33:29). When a man is 13 [years old] below, he is then liable to punishment, and he is flogged three times 13, which comes to the number 39. But on high there is no punishment until he is 20; three times 20 is sixty. נג"ר in gematria is זן ("feeds"), so it is good to mention [it] for livelihood, for feeding and for sustenance. [Margin: בטר צתג]: Some read פטר, in the sense of "letting out water, the beginning of strife" (Prov 17:14). And some read סט"ן ("Satan") קרע, and so [in] adjuring they then read קרע שטן פט"ר צת"ג. But for other adjurations one reads [it] with shin and bet: בט"ר, in gematria אלי"ה with its letters spelled out: אל"ף למ"ד יו"ד ה"א. צת"ג in gematria is תלנות ("windows/complaints") [sic? for חלונות], when the prayer ascends on high. This is what is said: "He looks in through the windows, He peers through the lattices" (Song 2:9). משגיח ("looks in") is a notarikon [for] מטטר"ון (Metatron), the great prince. "He opens his window" — and there are 13 windows in the Throne of Glory, and he opens them all so that the prayer of Israel may enter. And he does all this by this Name. [Margin: בטר צתג]: By אַתְבַּ"ש, שג"ן [becomes] הא"ר. This teaches that the first light that the Holy One, blessed be He, created He set apart for the righteous in the time to come, and the Holy One, blessed be He, hid it, and it is עד"ן (Eden), as it is said: "And God called the light (לאור)" (Gen 1:5). או"ר in gematria is לג"ן עד"ן, and it is grasped by this Name. [Margin: חקב טנע]: In gematria רא"ם ("wild ox"), for it is said: "his horns are the horns of a wild ox; with them he gores the peoples" (Deut 33:17). רא"ם [is] רפא"ל (Raphael), אוריא"ל (Uriel), מיכא"ל (Michael). These are the camps of the Shekhinah, and they will help the Messiah. This is what is said: "He has horns coming from His hand, and there is the hiding of His power" (Hab 3:4), "letters." And he will be by this Name. אוריא"ל ר"ל [that is to say]: "My face אוריא"ל ל"א ירא"ו": "You shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen" (Exod 33:23). [Margin: חקב טנע]: In gematria גזרא"ל (Gezrael). He is an angel, and one adjures this angel גזא"ל [sic? for גזרא"ל] to annul an evil decree that was decreed, by this Name. It requires great purity and immersion. [Margin: יגל פזק]: In gematria בכרוב ("on a cherub"). This Name is engraved on a cherub on high, and every day the Holy One, blessed be He, rides on it, as it is said: "And He rode upon a cherub and flew; He soared upon the wings of the wind" (Ps 18:11). And He sees 18,000 worlds that are behind the east, 18,000 that are behind the west, and 18,000 that are behind the north. These are 72 worlds [sic: 18 × 4 = 72; the text names three directions], as the number of חס"ד (chesed, "mercy"), as it is said: "I said, the world is built by mercy; Your faithfulness You establish in the heavens" (Ps 89:3). And they are as the number of חסד, thousands of myriads. Of this it is said: "Round about, 18,000; and the name of the city from that day: The LORD is there" (Ezek 48:35). He explained "round about" [as]: to all four corners, 18,000 [each]. And no angel is with Him except the angel, the Prince of the Face. He rides with Him in clouds of glory, as it is said: "walking before Him" (נכחו), letters of הנו"ך (Enoch). At that time He shows His glory to all who come into the world, in the upper world, and all the heavenly household says song and they mention this Name. [Margin: יגל פזק]: When is this? At the time when the Holy One, blessed be He, ascends the Throne of Glory of judgment. At once the whole heavenly household trembles, and when they see the Holy One, blessed be He, they take their crowns off their heads, fall from their horses, pray and beg mercy for Israel. At once He ascends the throne of mercy. Therefore שכינ' (Shekhinah) in gematria is בכסא רחמי' ("on the throne of mercy"), and therefore יג"ל פז"ק is on the Throne of Glory. Understand all this well. [Margin: שקו]: In gematria ועל היריעה ("and on the curtain"). This teaches that a Name is engraved on the curtain, and when the evil inclination comes to accuse Israel, at once they mention this Name, [Margin, unclear: ומיד"נבו]: and the evil inclination sees it and has no permission to enter. Therefore שק"ו in gematria is וע"ל יצ"ר; that is to say, it is over the evil inclination. [Margin: שקו]: In gematria וע"ל הדרנא"ל ("and over Hadarniel"). This teaches that הדר"נאל (Hadarniel) goes about in everything and takes a curtain spread over the Throne and dips them in the river Dinur (of fire), and spreads [it] over the Throne of Glory. At once the whole heavenly household gathers to say song, and they too dip in the river Dinur 365 times, כנגנות [unclear: "like melodies"?] on the river: על"י נה"ר in gematria [is] 365. Then they take permission from Jacob our father, peace be upon him, and say song, as it is said: "…" [unclear quotation: לא יעקבם] "יעקבם from the voice of Gehinnom." יעקבם [has the] letters of מיעקב ("from Jacob"), and at once they sing by this Name, for it is engraved on their heart. [Margin: שקו צית]: It is good for a man who puts on sackcloth and ashes on his head and mentions this Name and prays: at once his prayer is heard and answered. And we say: we are not permitted to put on sackcloth unless he is answered, like Joram son of Ahab the king (cf. 2 Kgs 6:30). They also said in the Midrash: how beautiful is sackcloth, שמיר [unclear], for when the Holy One, blessed be He, sees it, He at once turns [to him]. And this secret you will understand: why sackcloth is so beautiful. See: השק יפה ("the sackcloth is beautiful") has the letters of השק יפה [sic? the anagram is not visible in the print]. And so you find with Mordecai: "and he put on sackcloth and ashes and went out into the public" (Esth 4:1), and likewise with the men of Nineveh: "and they put on sackcloth" (Jonah 3:5). Understand this secret, for it is great. [Colophon:] Here is completed the commentary on the Name of 42 letters, and completed is the book Ma'ayan ha-Chokhmah ("Spring of Wisdom"), from the secrets of the great Raziel, and all the books that Raziel the angel gave to Adam the first man, to learn from it all the springs of wisdom. May the LORD, for the sake of His mercy, lead us in the pleasures of His eternity and make our desire prosper in our hand, and to the path of wisdom — His servants and the myriads of myriads of His hosts, troops of fire, flaming rivers of fire seated before Him; at His majesty the mighty are afraid, and at the voices the cubits [of the thresholds] tremble — חספים [unclear] may He lead us, and He will lead us עלמות (beyond death / "forever") (cf. Ps 48:15). Blessed be the LORD forever. Amen and amen (Ps 89:53). [Printer's line, larger type:] By the hands of the workman engaged in the holy work faithfully, the humble דוד בן לא"א [unclear abbreviation: "son of my lord father"] כה"רר (the honored rabbi) יששכר דוב (Issachar Dov), may the memory of the righteous be a blessing, from Little Poland, the holy community of זאלקווי (Zholkva), the capital, near the holy community of לבוב (Lvov).
