Interpretation: The Sefer Yetzirah describes God as carving out huge pillars from empty air, and the tradition reads this as creation of the world from nothing. In the primary lessons: In stories and science it shows huge size: an immense whale, an immense mountain, immense space. In feelings: immense joy, immense relief. It is a stronger word than «big». It does not give a number.
