According to the opening lines of Sefer Yetzirah (the Book of Creation) which surround this kabbalistic Tree of Life diagram, God created the universe with '32 Paths of Mystical Wisdom'.

These are defined as the 10 Numbers (Sefirot) and the 22 Hebrew Letters.

The 32 Paths derive from the first 32 verses of Genesis (the Story of Creation) in which the Name of God (Elohim) is mentioned exactly 32 times.

Elohim, a plural Name of God is used in the Story of Creation because Creation is the process whereby the One manifests the Many - represented by the number 10 - via Ten Divine Utterances, or Ten Sefirot.
