זוהר שמות — דף קיח ע”א

Sins wound every limb of the body, leaving no room for the Mistress — the Shekhinah. Moses remedied this with the 248 commandments corresponding to the 248 limbs of the human body. The four founding categories of damage — ox, pit, fire, and grazing — are the four Chariot-creatures. Adonai reversed yields Dina: the Shekhinah herself is the Judgment. Every wound to the limbs distances the Shekhinah from herself and opens a gate to the evil inclination.
