What was actually reviewed

Selected units checked, not a complete collation of recensions or manuscripts.

Located passage or record

Sefer Yetzirah 4:5 and Gra Version 4:8.

What the reviewed material says

The first named record associates Bet with life and Saturn; the Gra unit associates Bet with wisdom and the Moon. Both name Sunday and the right eye. The references must remain attached to their records; these are not interchangeable verse numbers.

Survival and uncertainty

Two digital titles are not automatically two independent manuscripts. A full recension history requires an edition and witness catalogue beyond this comparison.
