Spanish term or phrase: de los cuales aparece la íntima concordancia
Contexto:

La Cábala... Trata especialmente del valor místico y mágico de los números y de las letras del alfabeto relacionados con principios numéricos y geométricos, que encierran en sí otros tantos significados metafísicos o espirituales, de los cuales aparece la íntima concordancia y la unidad fundamental de las religiones.

that reveal the intimate concordance


Explanation:
"Concordance" is a word very common in the religious context, I wouldn't suppress it from the text considering that it means the same both in Spanish and English.
