### sense in the lessons

Interpretation: Sefer Yetzirah lists it among the body's twelve leaders and links it with the letter Ayin and the month of Tevet, though commentators find this puzzling.

### examples

- He made the letter ʽAyin reign, and bound to it a crown, and formed with it Capricorn in the World, and Tevet in the Year, and the rumen in the Person. (Sefer Yetzirah, Sefaria community translation) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/R/rumen/#x1)
- And these are the Twelve Leaders in the Person: two hands, two legs, two kidneys, spleen, liver, gall, rumen, abomasum, craw. [note 2: Identification of the latter four terms is very strange.
