Not only are the attributes and sefirot called by their respective names in relation to created beings alone, but even the ten utterances—through which the attributes become manifest, thereby bringing created beings into existence and providing them with life—are also called “utterances” only in relation to created beings. They are not called so relative to G-d, however, inasmuch as they are united with the attributes, which in turn are united in perfect unity with the Holy One, blessed be He.
