And this is the delight of the just, that they may be made worthy of that world which is to come, which ever watereth the garden of Eden, nor faileth.
Concerning this it is written, Isa. lviii. 11, “And like a fountain of water, whose waters fail not.”
And that world to come is created through I, Yod.
As it is written, Gen. ii. 9, “And a river went forth out of Eden to water the garden.”
For I, Yod, includeth two letters.
In the teaching of the school of Rav Yeyeva the Elder thus is the tradition. Wherefore are VD, Vau Daleth,[828] comprehended in IVD, Yod? Assuredly the planting of the garden is properly called V, Vau; and there is another garden which is D, Daleth, and by that Vau is Daleth watered, which is the symbol of the quaternary.[829]
And an Arcanum is extended from this passage, where it is written, “And a river went forth out of Eden.”
What is Eden? It is the supernal ChKMH, Chokmah, Wisdom, and that is I, Yod (in I, V, D).
“To water the garden.” That is V, Vau.
“And thence it is divided, and goeth forth into four heads.” That is D, Daleth.
