Derivation

Counted: the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, three mothers plus seven doubles plus twelve simples; also the stanzas of Psalm 119, one per letter.

Meaning

Twenty-two is the alphabet, and in Sefer Yetzirah the alphabet is the instrument of creation: twenty-two letters, three mothers, seven doubles, twelve simples, and the 231 gates that are their pairs. The number is the boundary of the whole system — the corpus's own hebrew_letters.json has exactly twenty-two entries for that reason — and Psalm 119 is the number put into liturgy, twenty-two eight-verse stanzas, each beginning with its letter.
