## In Jewish tradition

In this old translation it means something that gives life or love, set against the "destroyers".

**Interpretation.** The text sets twelve simple letters at war, some bringing love and life and others hatred and destruction, showing that opposites are part of the world.

### Examples

- There are twelve which are all the time at war; three of them produce love, and three hatred, three are animators and three destroyers. (Sefer Yetzirah, Kalisch 1877) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/A/animator/#x1)
