 | | Instructive for the study of the development of Kabbalah is the Book of Jubilees written under King John Hyrcanus, which refers to the writings of Jared, Cainan, and Noah, and presents Abraham as the renewer, and Levi as the permanent guardian, of these ancient writings. |
 | | The Qliphoth, or Kelippots (קליפות the primeval "husks" of impurity), was blamed for all the evil in the world. |
 | | The Qliphoths are found in the old Babylonian incantations, and that were used as evidence in favor of the antiquity of most of the cabalistic material. |
