The 72 Names

Draws the 72 names from Exodus 14:19–21, three verses of 72 letters: the first read forward, the second backward, the third forward, the n-th letter of each making the n-th name (Rashi on Sukkah 45a). Read from the Westminster Leningrad Codex, with Agrippa’s angel for each name (De occulta philosophia III.25, 1533) and Kircher’s verse (Oedipus Aegyptiacus, 1653).
