When read by later generations of Kabbalists, the Torah's description of the creation in the Book of Genesis reveals mysteries about [[Yahweh|God]] himself. The [[Bible]] provides ample additional material for mythic and mystical speculation. The prophet Ezekiel's visions in particular attracted much mystical speculation, as did Isaiah's Temple vision. Other mystical events include Jacob's vision of the ladder to heaven, and Moses' encounters with the Burning bush and God on Mount Sinai. | When read by later generations of Kabbalists, the Torah's description of the creation in the Book of Genesis reveals mysteries about [[Yahweh|God]] himself.

The [[Shem HaMephorash|72 letter name of God]] which is used in Jewish mysticism for meditation purposes is derived from the Hebrew verbal utterance Moses spoke in the presence of an angel, while the Sea of Reeds parted, allowing the Hebrews to escape their approaching attackers. This was subsequently incorporated into [[ritual magic]] in the names of the 72 [[Kabbalistic angel]]s. | The [[Shem HaMephorash|72 letter name of God]] which is used in Jewish mysticism for meditation purposes is derived from the Hebrew verbal utterance Moses spoke in the presence of an angel, while the Sea of Reeds parted, allowing the Hebrews to escape their approaching attackers.
