==== In Malchus ==== The five letters of the name Elokim are the "five gevuros of mantzepach" that divide the breath of the heart into the 22 letters of speech. That is, just as physically the simple voice (coming from the breath of the heart) is divided into syllables and letters through the five outlets of the mouth, so too spiritually: the creation of the world is done through the sefirah of malchus which is the divine "power of speech." The source of speech is "the breath of the supreme heart," the power that divides it into letters is the "five gevuros of mantzepach," and speech itself is the ten utterances with which the world was created.
