32 Paths of Wisdom
According to the teachings of the Jewish Kabbalah, 32 Paths of Wisdom form the tree of life with the system of sefirot, which is fundamentally presented in the Sefer Yetzirah (Hebrew: ספר יצירה Book of Formation), one of the earliest and most important works of the Kabbalah, which originated before the 6th century CE. The 32 Paths of Wisdom are made up of the 10 sefirot and the 22 paths connecting them, which correspond to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The 32 Paths of Wisdom represent 32 stages of development of the cosmic intelligence.
„In thirty-two mysterious paths of wisdom drew YAH, YHVH Zabaoth, God of Israel, living Elohim, King of the world, almighty, merciful and gracious, high and exalted, reigning forever, holy is his name, and created his world with three sefarim (Hebrew: םפרים): narrative (סִפּוּר sippur), number (סִפְרָה sefar, digit), and sign (סֵפֶר sefer; letter).“
