The aim of the narrative of creation is the establishment of a radical separation of man from God.

There is a known side to creation and a dark side. There are things that are revealed to humans and things that remain hidden. Jewish mysticism has attempted to wander through things unknown. Hence two different accounts of creation: the biblical account, which reveals to us the way the world was created, and the account as it is exposed in the medieval tradition of the Kabbalah, which inquires into the dark side of creation, that which has not been revealed. It is these two accounts that we would like to briefly consider in this essay.
