    אלהי"ם — the Sixth Gate of Sha'arei Orah. Gikatilla organises by NAME rather than by sefirah and counts upward from Malchut, so the gate ordinal and the sefirah number run in opposite directions. PSALMS 54:4, NOT 39:13. The Markel English footnotes this gate's opening verse as Psalms 39:13; the Hebrew reads Psalms 54:4, and 39:13 is Tiferet's verse at Gate Five. The Hebrew was checked against Psalms 54:4 directly and matches exactly.

    Evidence

    1. Moses for the Torah; the prophets and the men of the Great Assembly for the rest, Tanakh, c. 1200–165 BCE (composition); canon fixed by c. 100 CE — Psalms 54:4

      · The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation

      Where the name itself stands in scripture: אֱלֹהִים שְׁמַע תְּפִלָּתִי. Cited by locator; the kabbalistic claim is about the name, not about this verse's plain sense.

    2. Joseph ben Abraham Gikatilla, Sha'arei Orah, c. 1290 — Sha'arei Orah, Sixth Gate, Fifth Sefirah

      The gate's own opening formula names the sefirah and the name together.

    אלהי"ם — the Sixth Gate of Sha'arei Orah. The name belongs to the SEFIRAH and not to any diagram: Gikatilla wrote around 1290, four centuries before this arrangement was printed, and was describing neither this tree nor any other. PSALMS 54:4, NOT 39:13. The Markel English footnotes this gate's opening verse as Psalms 39:13; the Hebrew reads Psalms 54:4, and 39:13 is Tiferet's verse at Gate Five. The Hebrew was checked against Psalms 54:4 directly and matches exactly.
