The number 613 is significant since it reflects the structure of the human body into 248 limbs and 365 connections; fundamental to the Zohar-Book of Secret is the concept of seven worlds of which earth is the first and Pluto the last (the seven outer planets of the solar system) also comprise 613 through the 365 days of a year on earth and the 248 year cycle of the Pluto around the sun.
The golden cube which houses the Ten Commandments also is reflective of creation. In order to carry the cube without touching the sides it was commanded by God that two staves be placed along two opposite sides; these staves were plated in gold and of a precise measurement which cause the end of the staves to abut the curtain that separated that room called Kodesh HaKodeshim/Holy of Holies from the rest of the Temple. According to precise instructions when the staves pressed against the curtains it appeared from the other side to be the form of two breasts.
Breast in Hebrew are called Shadim built from the world Shadi/Enough since the suckling of the infant caused milk to be produced there is always enough. Shadi is also one of the Seven Hebrew Names of God; the Name Shadi came about when God said to two lines of light: go out and create. The lines went at infinite speed until God said: Di/
Enough and therefore according to the Talmud-Book of Law is how God got the Name Shadi—the One who said: Enough to the expanding creation.
It is interesting to note that Shadi has the gematria of 314, the first three numbers of pi—the interloper between the circle of the square. Inside the letters of the Ten Commandments there is one letter Samack/60 which has the form of a circle and therefore has no connection to the stone which surrounds the letters. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says the Samack/60 hung suspended miraculously in the space of the letter.
The Cabala-Key to the Zohar explains how the circle indicates the source of creation beyond line. Creation is the cause and effect in the continual attenuation of light through the cube surrounded by the orb and an orb within the cube. Creation evolved out of the line and the curve progenitors to the circle and the square prototype for man and woman.
