Sefer Yetzirah

About this ebook
This is a preliminary translation of the Sefer Yetzirah that is part of an ongoing project. I got some pings that this may be appreciated now, so I’m releasing it as-is before finishing the project.
I'll be releasing a second art-piece version with the Hebrew text, translational notes, and short commentary, as well as (maybe) some slight changes or adjustments to the translation.
This translation is released with an uncopyright. Feel free to use this in any way that you please other than restricting my rights to use this text for my own purposes. Also, don't just turn around and sell this as is. That's a dick move.
If you end up doing anything with this, feel free to let me know. I'd love to see and boost your work!

Chapter One

With thirty-two wonderful, skilled, controlled breaths hollow out Yah, the beingness of all the multitudes, divinity of striving with god, living god and ruler of eternity, god almighty, merciful and gracious, exalted and lifted up, a bough eternally on high, whose name is holy, [יה יהוה צבאות אלהי ישראל אלהים חיים ומלך עולם אל שדי רחום וחנון רם ונשא שוכן עד מרום וקדוש שמו] and create the world with three books, with letter [ie space] and number [ie time] and story [ie spiritual dimension].
