And they, the Father and the Mother, constitute the abode, as I have said.
As it is written, Prov. xxiv. 3, 4, “Through Chokmah is the abode constructed, and by Thebunah is it established, and in Däath shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.”

And I have wished to conceal them, even unto the world to come, because there also a certain question will be propounded unto me.
As it is written, Isa. xxxiii. 6, “And Chokmah and Däath shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation; the fear of Tetragrammaton is His treasure,” etc., and they shall seek out Wisdom, Chokmah.
