THE BOOK OF THE LAW
By 'the word' one means the magical formula, symbol, or expression.
Study the whole nature of the number 93, that of θΕΛΗΜΑ, in the Appendix. {WEH NOTE: Appendix not yet recovered.}
Liber Aleph has also much wisdom upon the Will. After absorbing "Berashith", and seeing that Will has come by Chance, the question arises, is Chance in any way bound by Necessity? Is there a limit to possibility? Could there, for example, be a Something which is not resolvable into 0 to the 0 power? The question of {Alpha-Nu-Alpha-Gamma-Kappa-Eta} confronts the Magus in His meditations. For this verse, though, we may take things very simply and obviously: the change from the Osiris formula to that of Horus is intelligible enough. (See Comment on verse 49).

There is also most probably a very lofty secret interpretation.
I suggest:
The -- the essential {Aleph-Taw}, Azoth, etc.
Word -- Chokmah, Thoth, the Logos, the Second Emanation.
of -- the Partative, Binah, the Great Mother,
the -- Chesed, the paternal power, reflection of the "The" above.
Law -- Geburah, the stern restriction.
is -- Tiphereth, visible existence, the balanced harmony of the Worlds.
{Thelema} -- The idea embracing all this sentence in a word.
Or: {Theta} The -- {Teth}, the Lion "Thou shalt unite all these
symbols into the form of a Lion."
{Epsilon} Word -- {He}, the letter of Breath, the Logos.
{Lambda} of -- {Lamed}, {Libra} the Equilibrium.
{Eta} the -- {Cheth}, 418, Abrahadabra.
{Mu} Law -- {Mem}, The Hanged Man, or Redeemer.
{Alpha} is -- {Aleph} The 0 (Zero, Nuit, which is Existence).
{Thelema} -- the sum of all.
