Ten things were created at twilight of Shabbat eve. These are: the mouth of the earth [that swallowed Korach]; the mouth of [Miriam's] well; the mouth of [Balaam's] donkey; the rainbow; the manna; [Moses'] staff; the shamir; the writing, the inscription and the tablets [of the Ten Commandments]. Some say also the burial place of Moses and the ram of our father Abraham. And some say also the spirits of destruction as well as the original tongs, for tongs are made with tongs.
ועֲשָׂרָה דְבָרִים נִבְרְאוּ בְּעֶֽרֶב שַׁבָּת בֵּין הַשְּׁמָשׁוֹת, וְאֵֽלּוּ הֵן: פִּי הָאָֽרֶץ, פִּי הַבְּאֵר, פִּי הָאָתוֹן, הַקֶּֽשֶׁת, וְהַמָּן, וְהַמַּטֶּה, וְהַשָּׁמִיר, הַכְּתָב, וְהַמִּכְתָּב, וְהַלֻּחוֹת. וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים: אַף קִבְרוֹ שֶׁל מֹשֶׁה רַבֵּֽנוּ, וְאֵילוֹ שֶׁל אַבְרָהָם אָבִֽינוּ. וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים: אַף הַמַּזִּיקִין, וְאַף צְבַת בִּצְבַת עֲשׂוּיָה.

THE ETERNAL TEMPLE
The text above is from a section of the Jewish Talmud - Pirke Avot chapter five |
The ten wondrous items is a guide in the initiation stages of the lineage of the Mateh/ the staff of initiation into the true Beith HaMikdash/Holy House. The gematrical value of the Mateh/VHamateh is equal to "65" which matches with a magic square kamea value and a divine name. In the temple image between the two pillars and just below you may see the sevenfold wheel of the sanctified week of seven days. The five planetary stars are above with the sun and moon on top of the pillars. The Aesch/fire and Maiim/water are above the canopy of the zodiac and fixed stras. There is a lot of parallels in the Tauroctony of Mithras in the image below. Mithras is in the center which is where the symbol for Merucry is in the Temple image above. So, these are all within the Hermetic lineages of initiation. Again this is about the liminal crossroads as the ten wondrous items are created in the liminal "between the suns" period in the twilight of the first Shabbat.
