6. As for that Ashem-vohû whose nature is as much as ten, that is when they recite it as they eat bread. 7. That which is, from nature, as much as a hundred is when they recite it after eating 4. 8. That which is so much by nature that, having turned side over side, they recite it correctly may be a merit of a thousand 6. 9. That which is of the nature of ten thousand is that which thou recitest when thou risest up from sleep 10. And that whose nature is as much as this world and that other world? is when they recite it at the time of the dissolution of life; for, if he be not able to recite it himself, friends and relations give it into his mouth. 118. If he be fit for hell he becomes fit for the ever-stationary, if he be fit for the ever-stationary he becomes fit for heaven, and if he be fit for heaven he becomes fit for the supreme heaven'.
