It is said that Adam gave the book to his son Seth and it was then passed down the generational line to Enoch son of Yared. When
Enoch ascended and “walked with Elohim,” he took the book with him. The Sefer HaShmoth came back into the world again with the
Covenant of Abraham. Abraham gave the book to Ishmael, Isaac, and his offspring by his concubines. Isaac’s copy was handed down to
Mosheh (Moses) and was later sealed in the vault of the first Temple of Jerusalem. Buried in the Temple vault, access to the book was
limited to those who had the skill to “see/read” it in Yetzirah, and the strength to survive the impact of its power.
