And it is extended on its sides, so that there may be one part on one side, and another one on another side.
For as the Most Holy Ancient One is found to include equally in Himself the Three Heads,[847] so all things are symbolized under the form of the Three Heads, as we have stated.
Into this skull (of Microprosopus) distilleth the dew from the White Head (of Macroprosopus), and covereth it.
And that dew appeareth to be of two colors, and by it is nourished the field of the holy apple trees.
And from this dew of this Skull is the manna prepared for the just in the world to come.[848]
And by it shall the dead be raised to life.
But that manna hath not at any other time been prepared so that it might descend from this dew, save at that time when the Israelites were wandering in the wilderness, and the Ancient One supplied them with food from this place; because that afterward it did not fall out so more fully.
This is the same which is said, Exod. xvi. 4, “Behold I rain upon you bread from heaven.” And also that passage where it is thus written, Gen. xxvii. 28, “And the Elohim shall give unto thee of the dew of heaven.”
These things occur in that time. Concerning another time it is written, “The food of man is from God the Most Holy One—blessed be He!”—and that dependeth from MZLA, Mezla, the Influence; assuredly from the Influence rightly so called.
And therefore is it customary to say, “Concerning children, life, and nourishment, the matter dependeth not from merit, [pg 336] but from the Influence.” For all these things depend from this Influence, as we have already shown.
