The significance of 1 and 4 in the second story of creation is described in https://thealeph.info/uncategorized/the-garden-of-eden-adam-and-the-14-principle/. This is further emphasized in the story in Genesis 2 where there were two trees in the Garden of Eden, the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. If we look at the gematrical values of these two phrases:

Tree of Life ‘Etz ha Haim’ עץ החיים spelled  ayin-tzadek-heh-chet-yod-yod-mem is 70+90+5+8+10+10+40 = 233

Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil’ Etz hadaat tov ve raa עץ הדעת טוב ורע  spelled ayin-tzadek-heh-daled-ayin-taf-tet-vav-beth-vav-resh-ayin is 70+90+5+4+70+400+9+6+2+6+200+70= 932

Dividing these two values: 233/932 we get a ratio of 1:4, exactly:

The philosophical implication of this gematrical revelation is that we have (or had) two choices in life: the option which Adam chose not to take – the path of ‘the one’, or the path that he was seduced into taking and that is the path of ‘the four’.

The world of ‘the four’ is the phenomenal plane of development and multiplicity in which we live as a result of Adam’s choice; it is a path which, unless taken in the context of God (the 1), is the path of death (See https://thealeph.info/uncategorized/the-garden-of-eden-adam-and-the-14-principle). Or we may select the path of the ‘1’, returning to the Garden of Eden with the realization that expansion of the inner self as related to God brings us to truth. It is a choice that we all have to make in our lives.
