Cosmology
When Moses climbs the holy mountain to receive a heavenly name from God, he then descends the mountain to transmit this identity to the nation of Israel and raise them from slavery in Egypt, he is a mediator between heaven and earth. The mountain is a symbol of the spiritual axis.
God can lower his identity through the vehicles of meaning and language, but this invisible breath must be met from below with a body that physically expresses its meaning.
God’s identity is expressed as a singular name, the clearest example of a seed in the Bible. This name is a spiritual principle (point of wisdom) with great ramifications. As an identity, “being” or “I Am” suggests nothing specific but implicitly contains all of creation in its scope. The revelation of God’s identity was only the first step towards the materialization of this heavenly seed. The materialization of God’s identity required the following agreement between spiritual and corporeal realities: “All that the Lord has spoken [breath] we will do [body].” (Exodus 19:1-8)
At the communal level, an agreement or “covenant” between heaven and earth implies proper exchanges of laws and deeds. God provides a spiritual identity or “soul” from heaven, and the population provides physical expression or “body” from earth. The population of Israel becomes a physical body for God’s spirit when it agrees to follow divine law.

Moses judged all the people standing over him from morning until evening. Jethro said he would wear himself out, so Moses chose capable men and made them heads over the people as rulers of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens. They brought the important causes to Moses but judged the small matters themselves. (It is not good for man to be alone, so I wil make him a help as his opposite. - Genesis 2:18)
Moses is the heavenly seed that contains the answers in principle, and the population is the earthly flesh that questions, supports, then expresses the answers.
This union implies refining matter and materializing seed. Choosing capable men is an example of raising and refining matter, while judging every small matter themselves implies a popularization or vulgarization of the law. Each level received less and less insight into the highest principles of the law.
Transmissions of power and authority at the communal level are usually symbolized by tithing and anointing. Tithing is a transmission of matter and power from below, in which portions of material resources are offered up to support the head. Anointing is a transmission of meaning and authority from above. Oil resembles golden light and makes what it covers glossy and reflective. Oil was also fuel for lamps, so like breath, it serves as a vehicle of light/meaning.
