Kabbalah: "Sefer Yetzirah:" 231 Gates
The 231 Gates rotate forward and back
The second chapter (or Mishna, in Hebrew) of the "Sefer Yetzirah" describes how to turn the 22 Hebrew letters into the 231 Gates. The sum of 231 represents
the number of possible combinations of the 22 Hebrew letters; in groups
of twos. The number value of 231 is also the product of 3, 7, and 11.

Chapter 2: Book of Creation
(This is) how ALEPH
is weighed, combined with everything
and everything with ALEPH.
BAYT with everything and everything with BAYT.
They return in a circular movement
to where all that is formed
& uttered is found coming out of the One Name.
(that the whole of creation and all of language
proceed from one combination of letters.
Ben Joseph/Stenring, p. 20, II5

The book, then, shows that the revolution of
the sphere is the cause of the variety of things, in the following
words: "The wheel turns forward and backward" (SY 2.4). This is
compared to the combination of single letters, viz, aleph placed in
combination with all the others, all the others with aleph; bet... (SY
2.5) This continued through the whole alphabet results in 231
combinations. The variety would be the groups of 3 and 4 letters.
