בשלשים ושתים נתיבות פליאות חכמה חקק יה יהוה צבאות אלהי ישראל אלהים חיים ומלך עולם אל שדי רחום וחנון רם ונשא שוכן עד וקדוש שמו מרום וקדוש הוא וברא את עולמו בשלשה ספרים בספר וספר וספור:

Note the Hebrew word for engraved, חקק engraved as removing material (to make room for creation to take place) as in cuneiform where material is removed to record information.

"contraction/constriction/condensation") is a term used in the Lurianic Kabbalah to explain Isaac Luria's doctrine that God began the process of creation by "contracting" his Ohr Ein Sof (infinite light) in order to allow for a "conceptual space" in which finite and seemingly independent realms could exist.

‎יה יהוה צבאות אלהי ישראל אלהים חיים ומלך עולם אל שדי

Isaiah 12:4 And you will say on that day, ‘ Give thanks to YHVH, declare His Name, make His acts known among the peoples; declare that His Name is exalted.’

Tehillim 102:22 That men may declare the Name of YHVH in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem;

כב לְסַפֵּר בְּצִיּוֹן, שֵׁם יְהוָה; וּתְהִלָּתוֹ, בִּירוּשָׁלִָם

א אָהַבְתִּי, כִּי-יִשְׁמַע יְהוָה-- אֶת-קוֹלִי, תַּחֲנוּנָי

2 Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him all my days.

ב כִּי-הִטָּה אָזְנוֹ לִי; וּבְיָמַי אֶקְרָא

3 The cords of death compassed me, and the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow.

ד וּבְשֵׁם-יְהוָה אֶקְרָא: אָנָּה יְהוָה, מַלְּטָה נַפְשִׁי

ה חַנּוּן יְהוָה וְצַדִּיק; וֵאלֹהֵינוּ מְרַחֵם

ו שֹׁמֵר פְּתָאיִם יְהוָה; דַּלֹּתִי, וְלִי יְהוֹשִׁיעַ

ז שׁוּבִי נַפְשִׁי, לִמְנוּחָיְכִי: כִּי-יְהוָה, גָּמַל עָלָיְכִי

8 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

ח כִּי חִלַּצְתָּ נַפְשִׁי, מִמָּוֶת: אֶת-עֵינִי מִן-דִּמְעָה; אֶת-רַגְלִי מִדֶּחִי.

טו יָקָר, בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה-- הַמָּוְתָה, לַחֲסִידָיו

16 I beseech Thee, YHVH, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.

טז אָנָּה יְהוָה, כִּי-אֲנִי עַבְדֶּךָ: אֲנִי-עַבְדְּךָ, בֶּן-אֲמָתֶךָ; פִּתַּחְתָּ, לְמוֹסֵרָי

הַלְלוּ-יָהּ

ב שִׁירוּ-לוֹ, זַמְּרוּ-לוֹ; שִׂיחוּ, בְּכָל-נִפְלְאוֹתָיו

ג הִתְהַלְלוּ, בְּשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ; יִשְׂמַח, לֵב מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָה

ד דִּרְשׁוּ יְהוָה וְעֻזּוֹ; בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָיו תָּמִיד

5 Remember His marvelous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

ה זִכְרוּ--נִפְלְאוֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה; מֹפְתָיו, וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי-פִיו

11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;

1 A Psalm of David; when he changed his demeanor before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

א לְדָוִד-- בְּשַׁנּוֹתוֹ אֶת-טַעְמוֹ, לִפְנֵי אֲבִימֶלֶךְ; וַיְגָרְשֵׁהוּ, וַיֵּלַךְ

ב אֲבָרְכָה אֶת-יְהוָה בְּכָל-עֵת; תָּמִיד, תְּהִלָּתוֹ בְּפִי

ג בַּיהוָה, תִּתְהַלֵּל נַפְשִׁי; יִשְׁמְעוּ עֲנָוִים וְיִשְׂמָחוּ

ד גַּדְּלוּ לַיהוָה אִתִּי; וּנְרוֹמְמָה שְׁמוֹ יַחְדָּו

ה דָּרַשְׁתִּי אֶת-יְהוָה וְעָנָנִי; וּמִכָּל-מְגוּרוֹתַי הִצִּילָנִי

6 They looked unto Him, and were radiant; And their faces shall never be confounded.

ו הִבִּיטוּ אֵלָיו וְנָהָרוּ; וּפְנֵיהֶם, אַל-יֶחְפָּרוּ

7 This poor man cried, and YHVH heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.

ז זֶה עָנִי קָרָא, וַיהוָה שָׁמֵעַ; וּמִכָּל-צָרוֹתָיו, הוֹשִׁיעוֹ

ח חֹנֶה מַלְאַךְ-יְהוָה סָבִיב לִירֵאָיו; וַיְחַלְּצֵם

9 Oh taste and see that YHVH is good: Blessed is the man that takes refuge in Him.

ט טַעֲמוּ וּרְאוּ, כִּי-טוֹב יְהוָה; אַשְׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר, יֶחֱסֶה-בּוֹ

6 Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore they shall know in that day that I, even He that spoke, behold, here I am.

ו לָכֵן יֵדַע עַמִּי, שְׁמִי; לָכֵן בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, כִּי-אֲנִי-הוּא הַמְדַבֵּר הִנֵּנִי

Joel 3:1 “And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.

א וְהָיָה אַחֲרֵי-כֵן, אֶשְׁפּוֹךְ אֶת-רוּחִי עַל-כָּל-בָּשָׂר, וְנִבְּאוּ
בְּנֵיכֶם וּבְנוֹתֵיכֶם; זִקְנֵיכֶם, חֲלֹמוֹת יַחֲלֹמוּן--בַּחוּרֵיכֶם
חֶזְיֹנוֹת יִרְאוּ

2 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

ב וְגַם עַל-הָעֲבָדִים, וְעַל-הַשְּׁפָחוֹת, בַּיָּמִים הָהֵמָּה, אֶשְׁפּוֹךְ אֶת-רוּחִי

3 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:
Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

ג וְנָתַתִּי, מוֹפְתִים, בַּשָּׁמַיִם, וּבָאָרֶץ: דָּם וָאֵשׁ, וְתִימְרוֹת עָשָׁן

4 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of YHVH.

ד הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵהָפֵךְ לְחֹשֶׁךְ, וְהַיָּרֵחַ לְדָם--לִפְנֵי, בּוֹא יוֹם יְהוָה, הַגָּדוֹל, וְהַנּוֹרָא

5 And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of YHVH
Shall be saved.
For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance,
As YHVH has said,
Among the remnant whom YHVH calls.

ה וְהָיָה, כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-יִקְרָא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה--יִמָּלֵט: כִּי בְּהַר-צִיּוֹן וּבִירוּשָׁלִַם תִּהְיֶה פְלֵיטָה, כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהוָה, וּבַשְּׂרִידִים, אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה קֹרֵא

The tzimtzum or tsimtsum (Hebrew צמצום ṣimṣūm "contraction/constriction/condensation") is a term used in the Lurianic Kabbalah to explain Isaac Luria's doctrine that God began the process of creation by "contracting" his Ohr Ein Sof (infinite light) in order to allow for a "conceptual space" in which finite and seemingly independent realms could exist.

That reminds me...

Any scholars out there ever ponder the name "Ehyeh" ("I AM") as a contraction? A word-acronym as it were:

אֶֽהְיֶ"ה

Formed from אה + יה, a common pattern using the first two letters of each word in a phrase pair.

An idea for a phrase jumped out immediately once I asked that very question: "Ahavat YHVH", the love of The Lord:

אהבת יהוה

Which would instantly and naturally expand (rehydrate) I AM THAT I AM [אהיה אשר אהיה] into

"The love of The Lord that is the love of The Lord"

אהבת יהוה אשר אהבת יהוה

So many commentaries on this very subject of names. It must be out there somewhere. It's the simple meaning anyhow, the love of The Lord being what it is and all:

Exodus 3
13. And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the people of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is his name, what shall I say to them:
14. And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM; and he said, Thus shall you say to the people of Israel, I AM has sent me to you:
15. And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shall you say to the people of Israel, The Lord [יהוה] God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you; this is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations:
16. Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, The Lord [יהוה] God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
17. And I have said, I will bring you out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey:
18. And they shall listen to your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him, The Lord [יהוה] God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now let us go, we beseech you, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord [יהוה] our God:
19. And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, if not by a mighty hand:
20. And I will stretch out my hand, and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go:

"The love of The Lord that is the love of The Lord" = 1369,

which builds upon the Yechidah² [יחידה, 37], and the age-old associations -- loving-kindness (Abraham-chesed), strength (Isaac-gevurah), and beauty (Jacob-tiferet):

The union of the three primary emotions of the heart, chesed (72) gevurah (216) and tiferet (1081) equals 1369. 1369 is a square number (the square of 37), a sign of perfect "interinclusion" in Kabbalah (where every part of an object reflects all of its parts, as in a hologram).
1369 is the number of letters in the chapter* of the Torah which precedes the Ten Commandments, describing the preparation of Israel to receive the Torah at Sinai. The Torah itself corresponds to the sefirah of tiferet. It was given to Israel by both of God's Hands, as it were, chesed and gevurah. This is the value of the conclusion of the second verse of the Torah (Genesis 1:2): "and the spirit of God hovered upon the face of the waters" (=1369). "The waters" symbolize the Torah. God's spirit hovering upon the face of the waters symbolizes the Torah-portion which precedes the giving of the Torah.
37 = hevel ("vapor"; Abel, the son of Adam and Eve). Our sages teach us: "The Torah of this world is hevel in comparison to the Torah of the world to come".
https://inner.org/sefirot/seftifer.htm

"And the spirit of God hovered upon the face of the waters" was IBFL (in before first light) of Gen 1:3.

I document what comes my way. That way certain folks can be confident that I am crazier than I was the day before, if that were possible. (Crazy, performed by the writer himself. Famous.)

It's all part of the process.

"And I will stretch out (lit. send) my hand [ידי].."

In other words (but not really), it's "Yah" [יה] stretched out by the Name's composite letters, because the letter hei [ה] is a formed by a yud [י] + dalet [ד]. Design

And ו another hei ה for good (double) measure: יהוה

The Torah itself corresponds to the sefirah of tiferet. It was given to Israel by both of God's Hands..
