His countenance is as two abodes of fragrance, and all that I have before
said is His testimony.
For the testimony, SHDVTHA, _Sahedutha_, dependeth from Him, and in all
His testimony dependeth.
But these places of fragrance are white and red; the testimony of Ab the
Father, and Aima the Mother; the testimony of the inheritance which He
hath taken by right and obtained.
And in our tradition we have also established by how many thousand degrees
the whiteness differeth from the redness.
But yet at once they agree together in Him in one,(867) under the general
form of the whiteness; for whensoever it is illuminated from the light of
the white brilliance of the Ancient One, then that white brilliance
overcloudeth the redness, and all things are found to be in light.
But whensoever judgments ascend (otherwise, threaten) in the universe, and
sinners are many, leprosy is found in all things (otherwise, throughout
the universe), and the redness spreadeth over the countenance, and
overcloudeth all the whiteness.
And then all things are found in judgment, and then (He putteth on) the
vestments of zeal, which are called “the garments of vengeance” (Isa. lix.
17), and all things depend herefrom.
And because the testimony existeth in all things, hence so many Lords of
Shields are enshrouded by those colors, and attend upon those colors.
When those colors are resplendent, the worlds all and singular exist in
joy.
In that time when the white brilliance shineth all things appear in this
color; and when He appeareth in redness, similarly all things appear in
that color.
