Kabbalah and the Fours

Chesed Mercy Sephiroth  
AL God Name in Assiah Deepest sense of AL is in the Book of the Law. 4 represents Jupiter, the highest possible manifestation of Deity.
TzDQ - Sphere of Jupiter Heavens of Assiah

Tzedeq means righteousness; the inexorable law of Jupiter. The connection of this with the number 4 depends on the aspect of 4 as the square of 2, the limitations of the Dyad further fixed by self-multiplication, the introduction of a new dimension. 4 is thus a number of rigidity or materiality. Hence its ideal quality is inexorable righteousness.

Yet in connection with this, remember that Chesed means Mercy and 4 is Daleth, the number of Venus, Love. Consideration of this is very helpful in understanding the way in which a Sephira combines widely diverse ideas.

GOShKLY Order of Qlippoth
