No one knows its place, yet every praise finds it.

Ehyeh is the highest name, hidden, known to none but itself, and set over the world of complete mercy. Its twelve letter-permutations around a central point match the thirteen attributes of mercy. It is also called Ayin, Nothing: 'wisdom comes from ayin' (Job 28:12), like the point above the yod. It is called Keter because, as a crown circles the head, it surrounds all the sefirot. The angels long to crown it but can't find where it is. They send their praise through the great Name and it rises to the Crown by itself, so it gathers every prayer. As the 'White Head' it whitens Israel's sins.
