Like modern scientists, Jewish mystics of the thirteenth century said that in the beginning there was nothing—nothing, that is, except the “divine nothingness,” the hidden, transcendent God. The God of Genesis who “created the heaven and the earth” was not even manifest. The term the mystics used to describe God before creation was ''[[Ein Sof]]''. ''Ein Sof'' means “without end,” or “the Infinite.” ''Ein Sof'' is the First Cause. It is ultimate reality—unmanifest, incomprehensible and indescribable. | Like modern scientists, Jewish mystics of the thirteenth century said that in the beginning there was nothing—nothing, that is, except the “divine nothingness,” the hidden, transcendent God.
