Fol. 63v:

The diagram consists of a circle within a bigger circle. Two horizontal parallel lines divide the circles into two halves. An additional small circle is situated in the geometrical center of both circles, between two horizontal lines. In the upper half there is an inscription "Heaven" (שמים) in Ashkenazi square script, whereas in the lower part is "Earth" (ארץ). On the crossing of the circles' borders and the horizontal lines there are other inscriptions: יה from the right and אה from

              יה                               וה      

the left, which mean the names of God. Around the biggest circle there are two outer inscriptions related to the text. First one on the right is: "The heaves is all his honour, above and beneath" (השמים הכל כבודו למעלה ולמטה). The second on the left is: "And beneath are the arms of the world" (ומתחת זרועות עולם).
