רל"א שעריםThe 231 Gates

rala shearimThe 231 gates in Gamatria ↗ענג = נגע ↗

Delight and plague: the same letters, turned.

The letters are fixed on a wheel (galgal) like a wall, in 231 gates. That is the number of pairs twenty-two letters can form (22 × 21 ÷ 2). The wheel turns forward and backward, and the sign is this: nothing in good is higher than ענג (delight), and nothing in evil is lower than נגע (plague), which is the same letters reversed. Aleph with all and all with aleph, bet with all and all with bet: every creature and every word comes out of one Name. From chaos He formed substance, made what is not into what is, and hewed great pillars from air that cannot be grasped.
