A kind of occult theosophy or traditional interpretation of the [[Scriptures]] among [[Jewish]] rabbis and certain mediaeval Christians, which treats of the nature of god and the mystery of human existence. It assumes that every letter, word, number, and accent of [[Scripture]] contains a hidden sense; and it teaches the methods of interpretation for ascertaining these occult meanings. The cabalists pretend even to foretell events by this means. </p> | ||
