The Cabala insists upon the following points with regard to these: i. That they are not created, but emanated (lxan) from the En-Soph. ii. That they form among themselves, and with the EnSoph, a strict unity, and simply represent different aspects of one and the same being. iii. That all the ten emanations alike partake of the perfections of the EnSoph. iv. That, as emanations of the Infinite, the Sephiroth are-infinite and perfect, like the En-Soph, and yet constitute the first finite. On the accompanying wood-cut is shown the figure of the archetypal man, representing the ten Sephiroth. Another grouping is given in the table on following page. 2. Creation of Angels. "God," says the Sohar, "animated every part of the firmament with a separate spirit, and forthwith all the heavenly hosts were before him" (iii, 68a). These angelic beings consist of two classes-good and bad-have their respective princes, and occupy the three habitable worlds in the following order: The angel Metatron inhabits the second world, the World of Creation. He alone constitutes the world of pure spirits, and is the garment of Shaddai, i.e. the invisible manifestation of the Deity. His name is numerically equivalent to that of the Lord. The angelic host inhabiting this world are divided into ten ranks, answering to the ten Sephiroth; and each is set over a different part of the universe. The demons, who constitute the second class of angels, inhabit the fourth 3 world, or the World of Action. Though they are the grossest and most deficient of all forms, they still form ten degrees, answering to the ten Sephiroth. The prince of this region of darkness is Samael, angel of poison or death. He is the evil spirit who seduced Eve; and has a wife, called the Harlot, or the Woman of Whoredom, who, together with him, is treated as one person, and is called "the Beast." Picture for Cabala 2 3. The Destiny of Man and the Universe. It is an absolute condition of the soul to return to, the infinite source from which it emanated, after developing on earth the perfections, the germs whereof are implanted in it, If the soul, after assuming a human body, during its first sojourn on earth, fails to acquire that experience for which it descends from heaven, and becomes contaminated by sin, it must reinhabit a body again and again, till it is able to ascend in a purified state. This transmigration, however, is restricted to three times. The world, being an expansion of the Deity's own substance, must ultimately share that blessedness which it enjoyed in its first evolution. Even Satan himself, the archangel of wickedness, will be restored to his angelic nature, as he, too, proceeded from the Infinite Source of all things. When the last human soul has passed through probation, then' the Savior will appear, and the great jubilee year will commence, when the whole pleroma of souls, cleansed and purified, shall return to the bosom of the Infinite Source:. Caballero, Raymondo Diosada a Spanish theologian of the Jesuit order, was born at Palma, in the isle of Majorca, in 1740. He was educated at Madrid, but took refuge in Rome at the time of the suppression of his order' and devoted himself to literature. Nearly all of his works were published under the pseudonym of Filibero de Parripalma. He died in 1820. He wrote, De Prima Typograpice Hispanicce Ntate Specimen (Rome, 1793) : — L'Eroismo de Ferdinando Cortese Confirmato contro le Censure Nemiche (ibid. 1806):Bibliothecce Scriptorum Societatis Jesu Supplementa Duo (ibid. 1814-16).

Lieut Conder suggests (Tent-work, ii, 335) that this may be the modern El- Keibeibeh, which is laid down on the Ordnance Map at two and one half miles north-east of Yabneh (Jabneh or Jabniel) as an inhabited village; and Tristram (Bible Places, p. 40) adopts this identification. The name tolerably well corresponds, but the position seems too far. north for the grouping in <061540>Joshua 15:40. SEE JUDAH, TRIBE OF.

He was of the family of the barons of Avejan, and was for a time a Calvinist, but, having pursued his studies with the Jesuits of Tournon, he became a zealous Catholic.

Generale, s.v.; Rose, Gen. Biog. Diet. s.v. Cabiri (ka>beiroi), in Greek mythology, were divine beings of an early order, apparently belonging to a tribe existing previous to the Greeks. Their worship was continued even after the spreading of the Pelasgic religion, especially in the islands Samothrace and Lemnos. It afterwards passed over into an unintelligible secret worship, in which the Cabiri were often confounded with different deities. In Boeotia the Cabiri were in close relation with Ceres and Proserpina, and therefore probably they may be looked at as assisting daemons, of fruitfulness. In Rome their worship was united to that of the Penates, who were believed to have come from Troy; it was finally carried so far as to represent persons of the imperial court as Cabiri, on coins, etc. They were usually depicted as very small) with a hammer on their shoulder, and the half of the shell of an egg on their head, with a very thick belly. It is believed that the Romans brought this worship to the Celts and Bretons, but confounded the titles of the priests with those of the deities, because they themselves did not know the fundamentals of the doctrine.

Cabrera, Alfonso De a Spanish Dominican, was born at Cordova about the middle of the 16th century. He was sent, soon after his elevation to the priesthood, to preach the Gospel in America.
