זוהר ויקרא — דף יב ע”א

Summary

The passage pairs each of the Ten Commandments with one of the ten utterances of Creation: "You shall have no other gods" corresponds to "Let there be a firmament" (Israel being the Holy One's portion in the heavens); "You shall not swear falsely" corresponds to "Let the waters be gathered"; Shabbat corresponds to "Let the earth sprout grass"; honoring one's parents corresponds to the "lights" (sun and moon as father and mother); and so on through the remaining commandments, all weighed together, through which the world stands in peace.
