quotes from Holy Scripture have been used against their purpose in order to validate the ritual use of an amulet (kamea) on doorposts (mezuzah) and of phylacteries on foreheads and back of hands during prayer.

an examination of the full context of this command of God shows that it is simply an instruction in the idiom of that time to ensure that every action (hand) and every thought (forehead), both at home and abroad, is governed by what God has commanded to Israel in His written Word.

Bible is not a book of magic. It is a revelation of God in His care for those who hear Him and of the impending judgment of those who dishonour their Source of all being. It is a revelation of His character!

Unfortunately, the human urge to employ or manipulate the supernatural to personal advantage blasphemously twists and perverts these things of God. This then develops its own system of superstitions.

Arising from the Old Testament's description of the Urim and Thummim stones in the pocket of Israel's High Priest's breast-piece to give guidance in answer to questions when he came in before the Lord (Exodus 28:30) on behalf of the people, even this idea developed in later Jewish tradition that it was some kind of Ouija board, with messages being spelled on the Urim and Thummim in answer to their High Priest's query.

In addition, YHWH, the four-letter covenant name of God in Israel's holy Scripture became a magical instrument or charm of power to be used to advantage but never spoken lest the command to not take it in vain be violated, as though protecting a special 'word' or term was meant (another twist), rather than that forbidding any inappropriate reference to Him.

is ultimately an attempt to manipulate the supernatural to personal advantage. This insults the Most High concerning whom "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Psalm111:10; Proverbs 1:7; Proverbs 9:10; Proverbs 15:33).

God, this superstitious practice is blasphemous and calls for His judgment, for He is Lord of all and He rules in terms of His infinite character alone, and not by any manipulations of ritual, or talisman, or incantation, or any such thing, no matter what the sincerity of the practitioner!

Jewish mysticism teaching regarding their Seven Heavens myth –
In order from lowest to highest, the seven Heavens, Shamayim (שמים), according to the Talmud, are listed alongside the angels who govern them:
   1. Vilon (וילון) The first Heaven, governed by Archangel Gabriel, is the closest of heavenly realms to the Earth; it is also considered the abode of Adam and Eve.
   2. Raqi'a (רקיע): The second Heaven is dually controlled by Zachariel and Raphael. It was in this Heaven that Moses, during his visit to Paradise, encountered the angel Nuriel who stood "300 parasangs high, with a retinue of 50 myriads of angels all fashioned out of water and fire". Also, Raquia is considered the realm where the fallen angels are imprisoned and the planets fastened.
   3. Shehaqim (שחקים): The third Heaven, under the leadership of Anahel, serves as the home of the Garden of Eden and the Tree of Life; it is also the realm where manna, the holy food of angels, is produced.[21] The Second Book of Enoch, meanwhile, states that both Paradise and Hell are accommodated in Shehaqim with Hell being located simply "on the northern side".
   4. Ma'on (מעון): The fourth Heaven is ruled by the Archangel Michael, and according to Talmud Hagiga 12, it contains the heavenly Jerusalem, the Temple, and the Altar.
   5. Makhon (מכון): The fifth Heaven is under the administration of Samael
   6. Zebul (זבול): The sixth Heaven falls under the jurisdiction of Sachiel.
   7. Araboth (ערבות): The seventh Heaven, under the leadership of Cassiel, is the holiest of the seven Heavens because it houses the Throne of Glory attended by the Seven Archangels and serves as the realm in which God dwells; underneath the throne itself lies the abode of all unborn human souls. It is also considered the home of the Seraphim, the Cherubim, and the Hayyoth.
