1Rabbi Ishmael said: Metatron, the Prince of the Face, said to me: Come and I will show you the Letters by which heaven and earth were created.
2And the Letters by which the seas and rivers were created, and the mountains and hills.
3And the stars and constellations, and the sun and moon, and the lightning and thunder.
4And the Letters by which the trees and plants and the Garden of Eden were created.
