New-5781-Part 1

Dennis, thanks for your timely reminder that 5778 is the 107th triangular number, and that 2020 is the 107th leap year. Ezra has many times explained that 5778 is the 107th triangular number, but this is the first time I think we are hearing the connection to the Gregorian Calendar leap year cycle.

In this post Ezra also mentioned another connection of 5778 with the number 107, that “the 5778-year period of 54 generations… averaged 107 years each,” i.e., that 5778 / 54 = 107. [Presently I don’t recall why specifically 54 was used as the divisor to get this. At times Ezra skips over important details, that may be explained elsewhere, but nevertheless the brevity makes it harder to immediately follow what is being said. At the moment my guess is that perhaps the number 54 has something to do with the Torah being divided into specifically 54 Parshios, but it may have been explained differently.]

Since you focused on the number 107, it is probably more than just coincidental that this past Shabbos was Parshas VaYeitzei, since the gematria of the word ויצא, VaYeitzei, is also (6 + 10 + 90 + 1 =) 107.

At any rate this presents a fortuitous opportunity to share some intriguing hints from the beginning of Parshas VaYeitzei:

1. The beginning of the Parshas VaYeitzei has many essential and fascinating hints to Divine Names, resonances and correspondences:

First of all, Parshas VaYeitzei is the 7th Parsha of the Torah, corresponding to the 7th day, the Holy Shabbos.

The first verse of Parshas VaYeitzie is Breishis 28:10, and perhaps the 28 alludes to the 28 letters of the Torah’s first verse about Creation (Breishis 1:1), and the 10 alludes to the 10 Creative Sayings, or alternatively the 28 and the 10 allude to the 28 letters in the introductory verse to the 10 Commandments (Shmos 20:1).

The plain meaning of the verse is “And Yakov went out from B’er Sheva,” but on a deeper and more spiritual level this hints that Yakov’s soul “went out from,” meaning originates from, the B’er, “Wellspring,” i.e., the Source of Divine Flow, of “Sheva,” “Seven,” 7, i.e., the theme of the 7th Day Shabbos, comparable to Gan Eden and to Olam HaBo, the World To Come, where one’s soul is totally merged with Hashem.

2. The first word ויצא, VaYeitze, begins with the letter Vov, gematria 6, and ends with the letter Aleph, gematria 1, corresponding to the 7 day week, first the 6 work days, and then the special day at the end of the week, the 7th day, Shabbos, the day of rest, designated for contemplation and appreciation of Hashem and all of His works.

The word ויצא, VaYeitze, is gematria 6 + 10 + 90 + 1 = 107, and the number 107 also ends with a stress on the number 7 for Shabbos.

Further, 107 may be understood as 10-7, a composite of two numbers, 10 and 7, thus hinting to the 10 Sayings of Creation and the 7 Days of Creation concluding with Shabbos, and the 7 words in the Torah’s first verse, or alternatively, to the 10 Commandments and their introductory verse of 7 words.

Regarding the number 107, it is also the sum of the gematrias of two very important Divine Names, for 107 = 81 + 26 = אנכי י-ה-ו-ה, Anochi Hashem, “I am G-d,” which are the First Two Words of the Ten Commandments, and thus the number 107 reminds us of the ultimate Source of the everything, the Anochi Hashem.

Additionally regarding the number 107, it is the 28th prime, with 28 famously being the gematria of the word כח, Koah, Strength and Mightiness, thus ultimately hinting to the Almighty. Also 28 itself is the 7th triangular number, corresponding to the 7th day Shabbos, and 28 is also a multiple of 7, since 28 = 7 x 4. Further, even the number 4 may also corresponding to Shabbos, since in the Ten Commandments the 4th Commandment is “Remember the Shabbos Day and keep it Holy.”

The number 107 also resonates with the number 17 (just dropping out the zero), and famously 17 is the gematria of the word טוב, Tov, Good, and 17 is the 7th prime, also corresponding to the Holy Shabbos, the 7th day.

Dennis, again thanks for your amazing contributions. Here meanwhile is a brief continuation to my previous comment. More is drafted but not quite ready yet:

3. Before it was pointed out that 107 = 81 + 26, hinting to אנכי ה’, Anochi Hashem, “I am G-d,” the First Two Words of the Ten Commandments. There are also other Divine Name combinations that sum to 107:

For example, 107 = 21 + 86, with the 21 being the gematria of the Name א-ה-י-ה, Ehyeh, “I Am What I Am,” and with the 86 being the gematria of the Name א-ל-ה-י-ם, Elokim.

Also 107 = 42 + 65, with the 42 being the gematria of the Name א-ל-ו-ה, Alokah, and corresponding to the 42 Letter Name, and also with 42 = 2 x 21, the gematria of Aheye, as in Ehyeh [Asher] Ehyeh, “I Am [that] I Am,” and with the 65 being the gematria of the Name א-ד-נ-י, A-d-n-i.

Additionally, 107 = 72 + 35, with the 72 being the 72 Triplet Name, and 72 being the gematria of the higher Sefirah חכמה, Chochmoh, Wisdom, associated with masculinity, and with the 35 being the gematria of the word לה, Loh, “Her,” representing the lower Sefirah Malchus, associated with femininity, and also with letters Lamed Heh being the consecutive second and third letters of the Name א-ל’-ה’-י-ם, Elokim, (Alternatively, with 35 = 5 x 7, and with associated corresponding resonances.)

Further, 107 = 53 + 54, which may represent the joining of two ways of looking at the Parshios of the Torah, sometimes as 53 Parshios that are read on Shabbos, and sometimes as 54 Parshios including Zoas HaBrocha that is read on Simchas Torah. Of course there are other ways to look as this as well…

As an aside regarding the Great Pyramid, which has been discussed a lot on this website, and again it was discussed at length in this post:

In the past I have offered my humble, mainstream opinion, that although clearly the Great Pyramid is a marvel of intelligent design and stone building technology, nevertheless there is nothing supernatural about it, it was built by the Pharaoh Khufu to be his tomb, and that is all.

For example see my comments on the Kabbalah Secrets post “Part XIV: More Information; More than We Know,” from August 2019. There I discussed a number of proofs that Khufu built the Great Pyramid, including mentioning the “Ancient Architects” YouTube video “Fact or Forgery: The Khufu Graffiti Inside the Great Pyramid of Egypt,” which concluded that the graffiti is genuine.

Now, just this afternoon, “Ancient Architects” posted a brand new longer video, “Solving the Mystery of the Great Pyramid of Egypt,” and in my humble opinion he has solved much of the puzzle, concluding that indeed it is the tomb built for Pharaoh Khufu. This is a must see from anyone interested in this topic.

Also I recommend the looking into the theories of Peter James, a professional architectural structural engineer, who led a team that repaired the Step Pyramid after it suffered earthquake damage and was in danger of collapse. He also has done work on the Red Pyramid, and is presently working on the Bent Pyramid, and he has published his rational theories about how the Great Pyramid was built using simple methods. His book is “Saving the Pyramids: Twenty First Century Engineering and Egypt’s Ancient Monuments,” and he appears in “Saving Egypt’s Oldest Pyramid by National Geographic Channel.” Lately there have been several articles in the news about him and his “keep it simple” theories. Anyone who is interested in discovering the truth should surely check out all of this as carefully as possible.

Peter, Sharon and Glen, those are interesting things you are writing, but although I remember the day JFK was assassinated, 11/22/1963, which was 57 years ago, I never very seriously studied all the background of what might have led to that. Whatever happened then, let’s hope and pray it does not happen again, and may Hashem protect our President Donald J. Trump, and guide events to help him in these difficult times.

The following is another continuation about Parshas VaYeish. Hopefully there are no mistakes in what I am writing, but if you notice anything wrong please let me know, and of course additions like the recent comments from Dennis are also appreciated!

4. The first verse of VaYeitzi, Breishis 28:10, as noted above, is the 784th verse in the Torah, which is fitting for the 7th Parsha, since 784 starts with a prominent 7, the largest element of that number in the hundreds place, and the remaining 84 is also evenly divisible by 7, with 84 = 7 x 12. These numbers resonate with the 7 representing the Shabbos, and with the 12 representing the 12 Tribes as they are in their source in Yakov (and we also find that 11 of the 12 Tribes, and their sister Dina, are also born in Parshas VaYeitzei Yakov).

Additionally, 784 = 7 x 112, with the pervasive number 7 appearing here again, and the 112 corresponding to the gematria of the combination of the Names Hashem Elokim, 26 + 86 = 112, as has been explained many times.

This union of 7 and 112 also resonates with Yakov himself, since notably the name יעקב, Yakov, contains the letter ע, Ayin, and the letters יבק, Yud Beis Kuf, which in gematria are respectively 70 and 112.

[BE”H, more hints in the name Yakov will be discussed in the following installments. Incidentally, summing 7 + 112 = 119, with 119 = 7 x 17, and 17 is the 7th prime, and 119 = T2 + T3 + T4 + T5 + T6 + T7 + T8, i.e., the sum of 7 consecutive triangular numbers, and of course 119 is reminiscent of 11/9 and 9/11, etc., as previously discussed.]

The number 784 may also be understood in other ways, for example 78-4, as a combination having a triple resonance with the Name Hashem, 78 = 3 x 26, and with the 4 standing for the 4 Letters of the Name.

The complete factorization is 784 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 7 = 16 x 49, thus it is the product of 4 squared times 7 squared. In math notation this can be expressed as 4^2 x 7^2, which corresponds to a resonance of the 42 Letter Name and the 72 Triplet Name…

5. Parshas VaYeitzi has 148 verses, which can be understood in many ways, for example as 148 = 7 x 21-and-1/7 (21.142857…), with 21 itself being also multiple of 7, for 21 = 3 x 7. Alternatively it may also be understood as 148 = 2 x 74, or as 148 = 4 x 37, or as 148 = 111 + 37, etc.

Above we focused on the number 112, so continuing in that vein, 148 = 112 + 36, where the 36 is also a Divine Name, א-ל-ה, an alternative abbreviated spelling for the Name Elokah (with the usual letter Vov, gematria 42), and also these are the first 3 letters of the Name Elokim, and also they are the 3 letters of the Name ה-א-ל, HaKeil, “The G-d,” 5 + 31 = 36.

The last two verses of the Parsha are Breishis 32:2-3, “And Yakcov went on his way, and angels of Elokim encountered him. And Yacov said when he saw them, ‘This is a camp of Elkokim,’ so he called the name of the place Machanoim.”

The very last word is מחנים, Machanoyim, “Camps,” and more specifically “Pair of Camps,” refers to the name Yakov gave to the place where he was met upon his return to the Land by the angels. Traditionally, this last word of the Parsha is used as a Siman, “word sign” mnemonic for the number of verses in the Parsha, since its gematria of Machanoyim is 148, the same as the number of the Parsha’s 148 verses.

The verse number 32:2 seems to hint to 32 being 2 to the 5th power, corresponding to the 32 Paths of Wisdom, and the last 2 indicating the 2 directions of travel, up and down along these Paths, which corresponds to Yakov’s dream at the beginning of the Parsha, with his vision of the Ladder, Stairway, or Stepped Path, along these 32 steps and Pathways of Wisdom, “set upon the earth and with its top reaching to heaven, and behold the angels of Elokim were ascending and descending on it.”

The verse number 32:2 may also be understood as 32^2, giving 32 x 32 = 1024, which is 2^10, corresponding to the 1000 letters of the full 3 paragraph Shma, plus the 24 letters of Boruch Shem, which famously was recited by Yakov together with all the 12 Tribes.

The verse number 32:2 may also be understood as a single number 322, and 322 = 7 x 46, again with a stress on the number 7, and also the small gematria of 322 is 3 + 2 + 2 = 7.

The number 32:3, the very last verse, represents a 1 more, a continuation of the previous theme, and understanding 32:3 as a single number 323, it is the 32nd palindrome (or alternatively the 42nd palindrome if single digits 0-9 are also counted as palendromes), and 32 is the gematria of Lev, Heart, and Kovod, Honor, etc., as explained in many places. Also 323 = 17 x 19, with more hints and allusions as explained elsewhere.

This last verse of the Parsha is the 931st verse in the Torah, and 931 = 7 x 7 x 19, thus also demonstrating more resonances with the number 7.

Also in reverse 931 is 139, the 34th prime, with 2 34 = 2 x 17, and 139 = 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + 6^+ 7^2, and 139 = 69 + 70, and with many other inherent hints as well that can be learned from all of these numbers.

But let’s return next to our main topic about Yakov and the beginning of Parshas VaYeitzei.

Thanks. This next section contains some things old and some things new, and takes a step back to Parshas Toldos before going forward with Parshas VaYeitzei, which was my main intention to write about. Meanwhile I hope this next installment is appreciated:

6. In order to better appreciate the hints in the beginning of Parshas VaYeitzei, where the second word of the first verse is the name יעקב, Yakov, it is best to first review why according to the plain interpretation he was given the name Yakov.

This is explained in the verse Breishis 25:26, in the previous Parsha Toldos, “And afterward went out [was born] his brother, and his hand was grasping the heel of Esav, and he called his name Yakov.” This is hinted in the name Yakov, י-עקב, Yud Eikev, with the initial letter Yud symbolizing Yodo, “his hand,” the hand of Yakov, or the 10 fingers of his two hands, grasping the “heel” (Eikev) of Esav.

On a deeper level the letter Yud, gematria 10, at the beginning of Yakov’s name alludes to his having within him the revelation of the 10 Sayings and 10 Commandments, and the final 3 letters of his name form the word Eikev, “heel,” and just as the heel hints to the end of the body, so too it also hints to the end of time and the goal of Creation, the Shabbos Day, and the end of time of the generations, the auspicious generation of Mosiach.

Additionally the word Eikev also alludes to the ultimate “reward,” as is the word’s meaning in other contexts where it appears, as in Breishis 26:5, עקב אשר שמע אברהם בקלי, Eikev Asher Shoma Avrohom B’Koli,” “As a reward (Eikev) for Avrohom listening to My voice,” and as in Devorim 7:12, והיה עקב תשמעון, V’Hoyo Eikev Tishmaun, “It shall be a reward (Eikev) if you hearken,” and as in Tehillim 19:12, בשמרם עקב רב, B’Shomrom Eikev Rov, “in keeping them [i.e., the Torah precepts] there is great reward (Ekeiv).” This hints that Yakov grasps and attains the Reward.

Grammatically the preface letter Yud also gives the name Yakov the future perfect tense, meaning it is a continuing action for all time, he does now and so-to-speak shall always continue to do, to grasp and control the heel of Esav. This means not just Esav alone, but everything Esav symbolizes, meaning the completeness of development of form and physicality, since Esav was so named because at birth his body was completely formed and finished, even with full growth of hair, with the name עשו, Esav, from the root עשה, Awsaw, Made and Done, as explained in connection with the previous verse Breishis 25:25 [a complete finished joining of the same square number, 5^5:5^5]. Nevertheless, with his inherent superpower within him, Yakov is ultimately able to transform all of this physicality into Holiness.

Divided up this way, the initial Yud and then the three last letters, the name Yakov consists of gematria 182 = 10 + 172, and with the component 172 = 2 x 86, i.e., the holy 10 Sefiros and a doubling of the Name Elokim, giving Yakov the ability and the strength to influence and control even a doubly developed completeness of הטבע, HaTevah, The Nature, also gematria 86, the elements of physicality and corporeality and base human and animalistic desires.

It is also readily noticeable that 172 = 100 + 72, a conjunction of the 10 x 10 completeness with a resonance with the 72 Triplet Name, and all of this is inherent and internalized in Yakov.

One more hint for now regarding the name יעקב, Yakov, which has been explained many times, is that its gematria 182 = 7 x 26, and thus it corresponds to and resonates with the 7th day Shabbos, and with Hashem, gematria 26, and Yakov in his holy life epitomized devotion to the Shabbos and devotion to Hashem.

7. Before going further it is also good to bear in mind that the founding Patriarchs all have resonances with the gematria of the Name Hashem:

The gematria of סיני, Sinai, where Moshe and all Yisroel reach their greatness, is 130 = 5 x 26. The gematria of יוסף, Yosef, is 156 = 6 x 26. The gematria of יעקב, Yakov, 182 = 7 x 26. The gematria of יצחק, Yitzchok, is 208 = 8 x 26.

The gematria of אברהם, Avrohom, is 248, and it varies slightly from this pattern, which may be attributable to the portion of his life before he recognized Hashem. Nevertheless Avrohom actually overcompensated for this, since 248 certainly includes within it 9 x 26 = 234, hinting that Avrohom does indeed have within him a resonance with 9 times the Name Hashem.

However, together with 9 x 26 = 234, the complete gematria of Avrohom’s name is 248 = 234 + 14, and thus Avrohom also has in him an additional resonance with 2 x 7 = 14, i.e., a double resonance with Shabbos, and this additional 14 could also be rooted in the last two letters of the Name Sha-D-Y, Dalit Yud, gematria 14, or alternatively, the additional 14 could allude to the gematria of the name דוד, Dovid, as his soul is included in the soul of Avrohom.

Additionally 248 = 8 x 31, and thus Avrohom has in him a resonance with 8 times the Name Kel, Aleph Lamed, gematria 31, a Divine Name that was revealed in the world before the revelation of the Name Hashem. This distinction is more apparent in that 26 + 5 = 31, thus 31 is 5 more than 26, and therefore this increase of 5 is hinted in the letter Heh, 5, that was added to Avrohom’s original name Avrom, raising its gematria from 243 to 248.

[Incidentally even Avrohom’s initial name Avorm also has great significance in gematria, since it is 243, which also resonates as 243 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 3^5, which is 3 to the 5th power, and also 243 = 3 x 81, a threefold resonance with the Name Anochi, gematria 81, etc., as can be explained another time.]

Also 5 x 8 = 40, and this is the difference in gematria between Avrohom and Yitzchok, 248 – 208 = 40, and the number 40 corresponds to the idea of a generation which in general is 40 years, alluding that there is one generation between them.

As explained in many places, the number 248 also corresponds to the 248 positive commandments and to the 248 limbs of the body. Additionally 248 is a number that when converted by the simplest getmatia method into the 3 letters, i.e. Reish, 200, Mem 40, and Ches, 8, it happens that every permutation of these letters forms a Hebrew word with gematria 248, and all of them can be understood as hinting to essential qualities and to the redemption:

The word רמח, Romach, means Spear, a sign of Victory over Evil. The word רחם, Racheim, means the central and essential quality of Mercy, or it is also Rechem, Womb, the Source of Life. The word מרח, means Smear, Rub In, and Anoint as with with Oil. The word מחר, Mochor, means Tomorrow and the Future, as in the Future Redemption. The word חרם, Chirem, means Sanctified and set aside as a Dedication to Hashem. The word חמר, Cheimor, means Coarse Material, and Chamor, means Donkey, alluding to the donkey that Avrohom saddled to do the Will of Hashem, and the donkey that Moshiach rides upon, and their harnessing the permanence of coarse physicality and the donkey’s stubbornness and for the purification of all earthly affairs. All of this can be explained more at length at another time.

It is important to bear in mind that all of these ideas and more are hinted in the name of Avrohom, and transmitted from him to his son Yitzchok, and through Yitzchok to his son Yakov, and from Yakov to the 12 Tribes, and from them on to us throughout the generations until today in the generation of Moshiach.

8. The name of the previous Parsha, תולדת, Toldos, means “Generations,” and it starts with Breishis 25:19, “These are the generations of Yitzchok the son of Avrohom, Avrohom sired Yitzchok…” and the Parsha goes on to relate the birth of Yakov the son of Yitzchok.

Here we cannot go into more details about the previous Parsha, but in passing it is worth noting that the name תולדת, Toldos, begins with a letter Tav, 400, ends with a letter Tav, 400, and the middle three letters are Vov Lamed Dalit are gematria 6 + 30 + 4 = 40.

The number 400 has been mentioned recently, in connection with 2020 being 400 years since the Pilgrims landed in America in 1620, and it was mentioned that the combination of Divine Names Elokim and Shaki is gematria 86 + 314 = 400. In a separate comment more details regarding this can be addressed, including more about the combination of Divine Names Hashem Elokim, 26 + 86 = 112, plus Elokim Shaki, 86 + 314 = 400, that sums to 112 + 400 = 512 = 2^9, and with many other special properties and resonances indicative of special Divine Providence.

It comes out that in gematria the word Toldos, Generations, is 400 + 40 + 400 = 840 = 20 x 42, and thus it has a special 20-fold resonance with the 42 Letter Name. Additionally 840 = 7 x 120, thus it too resonates with Shabbos, and with the 120 year lifespan of man, and with the 12 Tribes as the achieve a 10-fold completeness.

Here too it is also worth mentioning that the difference between the gematria of the word Toldos and the gematria of the word VaYeitzei is 840 – 107 = 733, with 733 being the 130th prime, and with the reverse of 733 being 337, the 68th prime, and the sum of these two primes 733 + 337 = 1070, with 1070 = 10 x 107, and as said before 107 is the 28th prime, and 1070 may also be viewed as 10-70, with many more corresponding resonances that also can be explained at another time.

9. Continuing now to Yakov’s birth and his naming, the verse (Breishis 25:26) states, “And afterward his brother emerged, and his hand was grasping onto the heel of Esav, and he [i.e., his father Yitzchok, and “He,” referring to Hashem] called his name Yakov.” There are a number of interesting things to observe about this verse:

Interestingly, in this first introduction of Yakov, the Torah uses the root word יצא, Yotzoh, “emerged” or “went out” (i.e., he “emerged” from his mother Rikvah’s womb, i.e., he “was born”), which is the same as the root word that occurs, as we are presently starting to discuss, as the first word of Parshas ויצא יעקב, VaYeitzei Yakov, “And Yakov went out,” so this quality is typical of the Patriarch Yacov since the moment of his birth.

Also note that the gematria of the word יצא, Yotzoh, as written in Parshas Toldos without the prefix Vov, is 101, which is the 26th prime, another direct resonance with the Name Hashem.

Interestingly, without the prefix letter Vov, the words יצא יעקב, Yotzoh (or Yeitzei) Yakov, are gematria 101 + 182 = 293, which is the 61st prime, and with 61 in turn being the 18th prime. Further, adding 293 + 18 = 311, the 64th prime, and adding 61 + 18 = 79, the 22nd prime.

The next word אחיו, Echov, “his brother,” is gematria 25, and the next word וידו, V’Yodo, “and his hand,” is gematria 26, and thus together these two word reflect the exact numbers of the verse itself, 25:26, and of course this also hints to the Providence of Hashem, gematria 26, at Yakov’s birth, to the extent that next word, “and He called,” is explained to refer not just to Yitzchok naming his son Yakov, but also to Hashem naming His son Yakov.

The next words ויקרא שמו יעקב, VaYikra Shmo Yakov, “and he (He) called his name Yakov,” in gematria are 317 + 346 + 182 = 845, which is the gematria of the Parsha’s name תולדת, Toldos, 840, when added with a Kolel of 1 for each of the 5 letters of Toldos, 840 + 5 = 845.

Also 845 = 5 x 169, with 169 being a square number, 169 = 13 x 13, with 13 being the gematria of Echod, One, and Ahavah, Love , and with 13 + 13 = 26, the gematria of the Name Hashem.

10. Before proceeding with more explanation of Parshas VaYeitzei, in addition to what was explained before about the gematria of Yakov, it is also good to keep in mind that 182 = 2 x 91, with 91 = 26 + 65, the gematria of the combined Names Hashem and A-d-n-i, and thus Yakov also has in him a double revelation of these Holy Names.

Moreover, 91 = 7 x 13, and thus is a resonance with Shabbos and אהבה, Ahavah, Love, and אחד, Echod, Oneness, and with many other correspondences that can be based on this.

Further, 91 is the 13th triangular number, and thus 182, the gematria of Yakov, is the sum of two 13th triangular numbers, and again 13 + 13 = 26 hinting to the Source Hashem. Also 91 is the 7th hexagonal number, the 6th hex number, and the 5th centered nonagonal number.

Additionally regarding the number 91, its sum of divisors is 1 + 7 + 13 + 91 = 112, and its totient is 72. Also 91 = 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + 6^2 = 3^3 + 4^3.

Another special hint can be seen by just slightly rearranging the letters of יעקב, Yakov, and joining the letters יק, Yud Kuf, gematria 110, and the letters עב, Ayin Beis, gematria 72, which are numbers with many allusions, as is known, including that 110 represents the sum of the completeness of 10, i.e., the 10 Sefiros, with the completeness of 100 = 10 x 10 Sefiros, and with the 72 hinting to the 72 Triplet Name, and with 72 being the gematria of the word חסד, Chesed, Kindness.

[Here let me correct a mistake in section 3 above, where I wrote, “with the 72 being the 72 Triplet Name, and 72 being the gematria of the higher Sefirah חכמה, Chochmoh, Wisdom, associated with masculinity.” There too I should have written 72 is the gematria of חסד, Chesed, Kindness, the highest of the 7 emotional Sefiros, also associated with masculinity. The word חכמה, Chochmoh, Wisdom, is actually gematria 73, which is 72 plus 1 for the Kolel.]

11. Additionally, the 4 letters of the name Yakov correspond to the 4 letters of Hashem’s Name, and also to the 4 Worlds (just as explained in many places the 4 letter of Hashem also allude to the 4 Worlds):

The Ayin of the name Yakov may be understood as the initial letter Ayin of the name of the lowest of the four worlds, the world of Asiyah, Action.

The Yud of the name Yakov may be understood as the initial of the name of the higher spiritual world, the world of Yetzirah, Formation.

The Beis of the name Yakov is the initial of the name of the next highest world, the world of Briah, Creation.

The Kuf of the name Yakov is the initial of the word Kodesh, Holiness, corresponding to the world of Atzilus, the world of Emanation of G-dliness, the world of Holiness, and the gematria of the letter Kuf, 100, resonates with the gematria of the initial letter Aleph, 1, of the word Atzilus.

12. Back to Parshas VaYeitzei, the first two words ויצא יעקב, VaYeitzei Yakov, are gematria 107 + 182 = 289. The number 289 = 17 x 17, a square number, and since 17 is the gematria of טוב, Tov, Good, therefore this is Good times Good, like the doubling of two times “G-d saw that it was good” in the Creation narrative. Also 17 is the 7th prime, corresponding to Shabbos, and 289 is also the sum of two triangular numbers, 289 = 136 + 153 = T16 + T17.

The number 289 is also the 9th centered octagonal number, meaning it resonates with numbers 9 and 8, hinting to the combination of 9 x 8 = 72, and with therefore resonating with the 72 Triplet Name, and חסד, Chesed, Good and Kind, gematria 72.

Also the product of the digits of 289 is 2 x 8 x 9 = 144, with 144 = 2 x 72, another way of showing its double resonance with the 72 Triplet Name, and the sum of 289’s digits 19, reducing to small gematria 10, the 10 Sefiros, and then reducing to 1, to the One Creator.

Additionally, multiplying 289 by the product of its digits give a triangular number, i.e., 289 x 144 = 41616 = T288, corresponding to the 288 sparks of holiness, and with 288 = 2 x 144, and with 144 = 2 x 72, as just said, and also with 144 = 12 x 12, another square number based on the number of the 12 Tribes within Yakov.

Also 144 is the sum of 11th and the 12 triangular numbers, 144 = T11 + T12 = 66 + 78. The number 66 is the gematria of the 3rd word of the Ten Commandments, the Name Elokeicho, “your G-d,” right after the first two words, the Names Anochi Hashem, “I am G-d,” then comes the 3rd word, is א-ל-ה-י-ך, Elokeicho, “your G-d,” gematria 66. The number 78 as explained before is 78 = 3 x 26, corresponding to a 3-fold resonance with the Name Hashem.

Also 289 can divided into two parts, 28-9, i.e., 28 and 9, such that multiplied together 28 x 9 = 252, the 25th palindrome (or 35th if counting single digit as palindromes), and 252 is also a multiple of 7, since 252 = 7 x 37, and 37 is the 12th prime, corresponding to the 12 Tribes in their source in Yakov.

As explained elsewhere, the number 37 and its reflection or reverse 73 are significant in Creation, with 37 x 73 = 2701, the gematria of the Torah’s first verse, and with 37 the 12th prime and 73 is the 21st prime, and these prime ordinal numbers 12 and 21 are also reflective of one another. Additionally 37 is the gematria of גדל, Grow and Nurture (an alternative word for the Sefirah of Chesed, Good and Kind, with the word Chesed being gematria 72 as said before), and with 73 being the gematria of חכמה, Chochmah, Wisdom, and with 2701 = T73, the 73rd triangular number.

13. After understanding that the name Yakov is gematria 182 = 110 + 72, it is possible to see further hints by grouping the gematria of the first word of the Parsha, VaYeitzei, 107, with the first part of the next word Yakov as rearranged above, 182 = 110 + 72, so that 107 + 110 = 217, with 217 = 7 x 31, another resonance of the number 7 and Shabbos, and with 31 being the gematria of the Name Kel, Aleph Lamed, and also 31 is the 11th prime, and 11 resonates back with the number 110 = 10 x 11.

It is also significant that 110 = 37 + 73, and thus this number resonates with the Torah’s first verse 37 x 73 = 2701, and 2701 also resonates with 217, or at least they have the only slightly rearranged nonzero digits.

Other properties of the number 217 include that it is the 9th hex number, and also that it can be divided into two parts, 21-7, which added together sum to 21 + 7 = 28, the 7th triangular number as mentioned above. Also the product of the digits of 217 is 2 x 1 x 7 =14 and their sum is 2 + 1 + 7 = 10, i.e., a double portion of 7, Shabbos, and the 10 Sefiros, and when 217 is summed with the product of its digits, 217 + 14 = 231, and 231 is the 21st triangular number, and also 231 = 3 x 77, i.e., a triplet of double 7s, with 77 being the gematria of words like עז, Oz, Strength, מזל, Mazal, Fortune, מגדל, Migdal, Tower, and so much more, including 77 = 7 x 11, more resonances with 7 Shabbos, and so on.

Adding three of the above numbers together gives 107 + 217 + 289 = 613, the 112th prime, with 613 corresponding to the 613 Mitzvos, and with 112 corresponding to the Names Hashem Elokim, 26 + 86 = 112.

Alternatively, adding 107 plus the second division of Yakov, 72, gives 107 + 72 = 179, with 179 being the 41st prime (the first part of the 12th pair of twin primes, together with its twin 181, the 42nd prime). The product of the digits of 179 is 1 x 7 x 9 = 63, while the sum of its digits is 1 + 7 + 9 = 17, and adding to 179 the product of its digits 179 + 63 = 242, with 242 being a palindrome (the 24th or the 34th depending on if single digits are counted as palindromes), and adding to 179 the sum of its digits, gives 179 + 17 = 196 = 14 x 14, a square number consisting of double 7s times double 7s.

14. The third word of the verse מבאר, Mi’b’er, “from the well,” begins with letters Mem Beis, hinting to the 42 Letter Name, while the last two letters Aleph Reish are gematria 201 = 3 x 67, with 67 being the 19th prime, and also the gematria of בינה, Binah, Understanding.

Also, just slightly rearranging the order of the letters, it forms the word מברא, MiBora, “from Creation,” with the prefix letter Mem meaning “from,” and with Beis Reish Aleph being the first three letters of the Torah.

The full gematria of מבאר, MiB’er, is 243 = 3 to the 5th power = 9 x 27 = 3 x 81, and as said above, 243 is the gematria of Avrohom’s initial name Avrom, and he was the “wellspring” from which everything came forth, and with many more allusions as well.

The fourth word שבע, Sheva, Seven, or Oath, ends with the letters Beis Ayin, 72, corresponding to the 72 Triplet Name, and the full gematria of the word is 372 = 12 x 31, i.e., a resonance with 12 times the Name Kel.

Together the two words B’er Sheva in gematria are 243 + 372 = 515, number famous as the gematria of the word שירה, Shirah, Song, and the gematrria of the word ואתחנן, VoEschanan, “And I prayed,” referring to Moshe’s 515 prayers to be able to enter the Land of Israel, and at the beginning of Parshas vaYeitzei we find that Yakov also prayed to be able to return to the Land, and in particular to his source B’er Sheva (and the Land of Israel also has a relationship to the number 7 as explained elsewhere). The number 515 = 5 x 101, with 5 being the 3rd prime and with 101 being the 26th prime.

15. The 5th word of the first verse of Parshas VaYeitzei is וילך, VaYeilech, “and he went,” with first and last letters summing to 6 + 20 = 26, hinting to the Name Hashem, and with the full gematria of the word being 66, the gematria of Elokeicho, “Your G-d.”

The 6th and last word of the verse is חרנה, Choronoh, “to Choron,” with first and last letters summing to 8 + 5 = 13, which resonates as half of 26, the Name Hashem, and in reverse is 31, the Name Kel, and with the full gematria of the word being 263, the 46th prime (and with 46 = 2 x 23, the 1st and the 9th primes).

Also 263 can be viewed as two parts, 26-3, that added together equal 26 + 3 = 29, the 10th prime, and when multiplied together 26 x 3 = 78, which is also the 12th triangular number.

Also adding 263 to its reverse 362 we get 263 + 362 = 625 = 25 x 25 = 5 to the 4th power, with many other hints as well. This is fitting for the meaning of the word, for it tells us that Yakov’s going to Choron, a very coarse and physicality centered place, qualities also associated with Esav, as explained above regarding his birth as described in Breishis 25:25.

[Note, above in section 6, it was mistakenly written about Breishis 25:25 that it hints to “a complete finished joining of the same square number, 5^5:5^5,” however that math notation has to be corrected to either “5×5:5×5” or “5^2:5^2.”]

Together the two words VaYeilech Choronoh are gematria 66 + 263 = 329 = 7 x 47, another multiple of 7, and 47 is the 15th prime. Also interestingly 329 = T6 + T7 + T8 + T9 + T10 + T11 + T12, the sum of 7 consecutive triangular numbers, 21 + 28 + 36 + 45 + 55 + 66 + 78 = 329.

16. Together the gematria of the whole verse is 107 + 182 + 243 + 372 + 66 + 263 = 1133, with 1133 = 11 x 103, the 5th prime times the 27th prime, resonating with the 5 Books of Torah and the 27 forms of the letters, and corresponding to the magical/miraculous 3 to the 3rd power cube, with its 27 specifically arranged building blocks.

Additionally 1133 seems to resonate with double 13s, one on the outside and one on the inside, with relevance of 13 + 13 = 26 that is obvious by now.

Also regarding 1133, the sum of its prime factors is 11 + 103 = 114, which is the same as the sum of 42 + 72 = 114, and thus it corresponds to and resonates with the 42 Letter Name and the 72 Triplet Name. Also the product of 1133’s digits is 9 and the sum of its digits is 8, and thus it also resonates with the 9 x 8 matrix of the 72 Triplet Name.

Also when divided into two parts 11-33, those two parts multiplied together are a palindrome, 11 x 33 = 363, with 363 being the same gematria as המשיח, HaMoshiach.

17. When the verse is divided in half, the first half of the verse is 107 + 182 + 243 = 532 = 2 x 266 = 4 x 133, with 133 being the 7th octagonal number, and 133 = 7 x 19, and the sum of its prime factors 7 + 19 = 26, and the sum of 133’s digits is 7, and also 133 resonates with the verse’s total 1133.

The full factorization of 532 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 19, and thus 532 = 7 x 76 and also 532 = 28 x 19, a powerful resonance with Shabbos and Creation.

Also 532 has 12 divisors that sum to 1120 , the divisors being 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 + 19 + 28 + 38 + 76 + 133 + 266 + 532 = 1120, and 1120 = 10 x 112, a 10-fold resonance with the Names Hashem Elokim, and 532’s totient is 216, corresponding to the 216 Letters of the 72 Triplet Name. Also 532 is the 19th pentagonal number.

The second half of the verse is gematria 372 + 66 + 263 = 701, with 701 being the 126th prime. Also the reflection of 701 is 107, the gematria of the Parsha’s name and first word VaYeitzei, and perhaps also 701 hints to Yakov, 1 individual travelling alone, the “going out of Beir Sheva,” going out of the “Well” of the 700s, which is of course connected with Shabbos, and 701 plus 1 for the Kolel equals 702, the gematria of the word שבת, Shabbos.

Also 701 is able to be written as a sum of positive squares in only one way, 676 + 25 = 26^2 + 5^2, which also resonates with the special themes we have been discussing.

18. The initials of the 6 words of the first verse of Parshas VaYeitzei are ו’יצא י’עקב מ’באר ש’בע ו’ילך ח’רנה, Vov Yud Mem Shin Vov Ches, and when slightly rearranged is revealed that these letters spell the word ומשיחו, U’Meshicho, “And His Moshiach.” This is an appropriate hint for this Parsha that focuses on the efforts of our Patriarch Yakov, and from whom the leadership of his generation is passed on to Moshiach, and this hint in the initial letters of the Parsha indicate that the spark of Moshiach was with Yakov right from the beginning.

The gematria of the word U’Meshicho is 370, the same as שלם, Sholeim, Complete, the root of the word שלום, Sholom, Peace, which is fitting for “His Moshiach And” the things that he will accomplish in the world. The number 370 = 10 x 37 and it is clearly significant with many resonances in the Torah and in Creation, as also mentioned above.

In connection with this it is also significant that the gematria of Yakov, 182, when doubled, is 2 x 182 = 364, which is the gematria of משיחו, Meshicho, “His Moshiach,” and likewise ומשיח, U’Moshiach, “And Moshiach,” 358 + 6 = 6 + 358 = 364. Yakov was the soul of Moshiach in his generation at the beginning of the Jewish people, and his soul is reflected in the Moshiach at culmination of the generations.

By studying the life of our forefather Yakov, especially as explicitly stated in the Torah, and identifying with and attaching ourselves to him and following in his ways, we can help bring about the revelation of the longed for Moshiach of our special time.

19. Going onward to the second verse of Parshas VaYeitzei, Breishis 28:11, ויפגע במקום וילן שם כי בא השמש ויקח מאבני המקום וישם מראשתיו וישכב במקום ההוא, VaYifga BaMokom VaYolen Shom Ki Vo HaShemesh VaYikach MeiAvnei HaMokom VaYosem M’Raashosov VaYishkav BaMokom HaHu, “And he encountered the place and spent the night there because the sun had set, and he took from the stones of the place and he arranged them around his head, and he lay down in that place.”

At the beginning of this second verse, the first two words are ויפגע במקום, VaYifga BaMokom, “And he encountered the place,” or “And he met with the place.” Spiritually speaking this means that Yakov encountered and had communion with “HaMokom,” “The Place,” alluding to Hashem, the All Encompassing Place of everything, in Whom everything derives its existence.

These 2 words have 5 + 5 = 10 letters, alluding to the 10 Commandments engraved on the 2 Tablets.

In the middle of the 2 words, joining them together, are the letters Ayin at the end of the first word, and the letter Beis at the beginning of the second word, and together Ayin Beis hints to the 72 Triplet Name.

After the initial letter Beis of the second word is a letter Mem, so together the first and second letters of the second word hint to Mem Beis, the 42 Letter Name. Since the two letters come in immediate continuation from the letter Ayin at the end of the first word, these 3 letters together, in order, form the triplet עב”מ, ABiM, with gematria 112, corresponding to the gematria of the Names Hashem Elokim, 26 + 86 = 112 [and ABiM, as was discussed, is the Hebrew term for UFO]. The last letter of the second word is also a Mem, so it comes out that the first and last letters of this second word במקום, BaMokom, also hint to the 42 Letter Name.

20. There are 6 words in the first verse of the Parsha, consisting of 23 letters. Joining these words and letters of the first verse with the first word of the second verse, there are a total of 6 + 1 = 7 words and 23 + 5 = 28 letters. This corresponds to the 7 words of the first verse of the Torah, Breishis 1:1, and the 7 words and 28 letters of the introductory verse, Shmos 20:1, of the Ten Commandments, as explained several times.

Incidentally, Breishis is the 1st Book and Shmos is the 2nd Book of Torah, so the Torah’s 1st verse might also be given as simply 1:1:1, and the introductory verse of the Ten Commandments might be given as simply 2:20:1, and viewing the verses in this way yields further hints for consideration.

Joining these first 7 words of the Parsha also with the next word, the second word in the second verse, BaMokom, with its 5 letters, it comes out there are 7 + 1 = 8 words and 28 + 5 = 33 letters. This fits the pattern of the first 8 words of the Torah, including the word והארץ, V’HoOretz, the first word of the Torah’s second verse, as the 8th word, which also has 5 letters. This has been discussed before as completing the set of 11 Essential Triplets that are generated thereby.

In the context of the Ten Commandments, after the 7 word introductory verse, the 8th word is the first word of the next verse Shmos 20:2, or simply 2:20:2, the Name אנכי, Anochi, “I Am,” however this Name has only 4 letters, so the corresponding 5th letter, and the 33rd letter from the start of the introduction verse, is the next letter, the initial letter Yud of Y-H-V-H, and the gematria of the Name Anochi together with the Yud of Y-H-V-H is gematria 81 + 10 = 91, the same as Hashem A-d-n-i, and with many more interesting properties as explained above.

21. As explained above, in the first verse of VaYeitzei there is a hint to Moshiach the initials of the words, and there is a corresponding hint to Moshiach in the last letters of 4 consecutive words in the second verse of the Parsha, השמש’ ויקח’ מאבני’ המקום, Hasheme’sh VaYika’ch MeiAvn’ei HaMoko’m, i.e., the letters Shin, Ches, Yud, Mem, which when rearranged also reveal the word משיח, Moshiach.

Additionally, regarding the initial letters of these 4 words, ה’שמש ו’יקח מ’אבני ה’מקום, they are Heh Vov Mem Hen, and by converting the Mem via the AT-BaSh cipher into a Yud, and rearranging the letters, they spell the Name Y-H-V-H. In gemtria (without the AT-BaSh change) they are gematria 56 = 26 + 15 + 15, also resonating with the Name Hashem and with two times the Name Kah.

The first of these four words is HaShemesh, “the sun,” which alludes to the Source of Light and Energy, Hashem, as in the verse Tehilim 84:12, “For a sun and a shield are Hashem Elokim.” Also the first 3 letters of this word are השם, Hashem, “The Name,” hinting to Hashem, and also in reverse they spell משה, Moshe, the mortal man who approached the closest to Hashem, who is also rooted in Yakov Avinu.

The second word VaYikach has letters that may be rearranged in reverse to spell the word חקיו, Chukov, “His Statutes.”

The third word MeiAvnei has letters that may be rearranged to spell אני מב, Ani MaB, “I am 42,” with 42 being the gematria of Name א-ל-ו-ה, Elokah, G-d, and also resonating with the 42 Letter Name, and also resonating with the Sefirah of גדלה, Gedulah, Greatness (as spelled in a verse we recite in our daily prayers from Chronicles I:29:11), gematria 42.

The last word, HaMokom, is also a reference to Hashem, the Ever-Present, “The Place” of the world, as explained above.

22. These four words also have interesting gematrias, השמש ויקח מאבני המקום, Hashemesh VaYikach MeiAvei HaMokom = 645 + 124 + 103 + 191 = 1063.

Although the first two numbers, 645 and 124, are not primes, when added together 645 + 124 = 769, which is the 136th prime. The third number 103 is the 27th prime. Adding these two prime ordinal numbers gives another prime, 136 + 27 = 163, the 38th prime. Also adding the second and third numbers gives a prime, 124 + 103 = 227, the 49th prime. The fourth number 191 is the 43rd prime.

The sum of the four words is 1063, the 179th prime, and it also leads to a series of primes, for in turn 179 is the 41st prime, and 41 is the 13th prime, and 13 is the 6th prime.

Additionally, summing the first three prime ordinal numbers in the series, which are themselves prime, we get another prime, 179 + 41 + 13 = 233, the 51st prime, and summing all four prime ordinal numbers including the 6 which itself is not prime, we get yet another prime, 179 + 41 + 13 + 6 = 239, the 52nd prime, and adding 51 + 52 = 103, the gematria of the third word in the phrase as mentioned above, the 27th prime.

23. As said before, the first verse of the Parsha has 6 words and 23 letters. The second verse has 15 words and 63 letters. Together the two verses have 6 + 15 = 21 words and 23 + 63 = 86 letters. All of these numbers are significant, with 21 = 3 x 7, and with 21 being the gematria of the Name א-ה-י-ה, Ekyeh, and with 86 being the gematria of the Name Elokim, and with their sum being 21 + 86 = 107, which as explained above is the gematria of the name of the Parsha VaYeitzei, and the gematria of the Names Anochi Hashem, 81 + 26 = 107, and so on.

Naturally there are many, many more amazing hints in these verses and in the rest of Parshas VaYeitzei, but for now it is time to digest this and to move forward to the next Parsha, Parshas VaYishlach, with more adventures of our great Patriarch Yakov and the 12 Tribes of Israel.

Time is running out, but at least very quickly I would like to remind everyone that this Shabbos is the 19th of Kislev, considered by many to be the “Rosh Hashonah of Chassidus,” this year marking the 248th Yortzeit of the Magid of Mezritch, who succeed the Baal Shem Tov as the leader of the Chassidic movement. May it be especially blessed for all of us and for the entire world.

This comment really comes in continuation to my last comment on the previous post, and I was about to upload it there, but then I saw that this new post, Part 30, just appeared – thank you again Ezra. Meanwhile I’ve just read through it quickly once, however my first impression is that it probably qualifies as one of the best Kabbalah Secrets posts ever!

Since we are moving on, forgive me for posting this comment here, but anyway there are many overlapping themes in this comment that are also relevant in continuation to this new post, and I have also added some new correspondences making this even more relevant.

Also, as I started writing about Yud Tes and Chuf Kislev, the 19th and 20th of Kislev, it seems that this outstanding post is in the spirit of a wonderful Rosh Hashonah, New Years Greeting, and similarly in the spirit of a pre-Channuka gift, with Channuka approaching fast.

Anyway, regarding the Chassidic holidays of the 19th and 20th of Kislev, two years ago, on the Kabbalah Secrets post The Prime Directive, http://kabbalahsecrets.com/the-prime-directive/ , I elaborated more about these days, and suggested some special resonances for that year (see my comment dated November 27, 2018 http://kabbalahsecrets.com/the-prime-directive/#comment-1571 ). For the most part what I wrote then is still relevant now and recommended for review for anyone interested.

This year, as said before, the 19th of Kislev is the date of the Magid of Mezeritch’s Yortziet (anniversary of his passing) 248 years ago, in Hebrew year 5533 and civil year 1772, and 248 is a special number as discussed. There are also other special resonances especially resonating this year 5781/2020.

In 5559/1798, on the same day, precisely 26 years after the Magid’s passing, his disciple the Alter Rebbe was released from Russian prison after being arrested and held in jail for 53 days and being under the threat of a death sentence for his work in spreading Torah teachings and Mitzvah observance. In our present year 5781/2020, the 19th of Kislev marks 222 years since the Alter Rebbe’s liberation, and 222 is clearly a milestone number of years with many important resonances.

Two years before that, on the 20th of Kislev 5557/1796, marked the first publishing of the Alter Rebbe’s classic work the Tanya, so that was 224 years ago, with 224 = 2 x 112, the gematria of the Names Hashem Elokim, 112 = 26 + 86, or the triplet of Names Ekeyeh Hashem Adnai, 112 = 21 + 26 + 65, and corresponding to the 112 Essential Triplets that Ezra explained (72 from the 72 Triplet Name, 15 hinted in the Shma verse, 14 from the 42 Letter Name, and 11 from the Torah’s first 33 Letters, 72 + 15 + 14 + 11), and so on.

As was previously discussed, November this year, the month when we had our latest Presidential election, marks 400 years since the Pilgrims landed in America, 1620-2020. It is also possible to connect this 400 year milestone with the 19th and 20th of Kislev, since these days can also be understood as resonating with the number 400, since as mentioned before the sum of the 19th and 20th Triangular Numbers is 190 + 210 = 400.

—–

Additionally, 400 years ago there was also the notable passing of another Torah giant, a great Italian Kabbalist, Rabbi Menachem Azariah da Fano, also called Immanuel de Fano, and “Rama MiPano” (the initials of his name R’abbi M’enachem A’zariah, and Pano, the city he was from). He was born in 1548, which was 400 years before the rebirth of the State of Israel in 1948, and he died in 1620, which was 400 years ago (actually the 4th of Av, 5380, corresponding to August 3, 1620). It seems that the Rama MiPano placed special emphasis on meditations and prayers connected with the 72 Triplet Name, as was discussed by Ezra’s friend Zion Nefesh on his website, https://dailyzohar.com/ana-bkoach-meditation-with-72-names/ and https://dailyzohar.com/the-72-names-prayer/ , and amazingly the Rama MiPano lived a life of 72 years.

The number 400, as mentioned before, is the gematria of the combination of Divine Names Elokim and Shaki, 86 + 314 = 400, and many more resonances can also be found involving the number 400. For example 400 = 288 + 112, with 288 representing the 288 sparks of holiness (and also 2 x 144 = 2 x 12 x 12, etc.), and 112 is a special number as explained, and with 400 + 112 = 512 = 2^9, and with many other special properties as well.

The idea of the 400 years from 1620 until 2020 is interesting and significant, since it corresponds to the duration the 400 year sojourn in Egypt as revealed by Hashem to Avrohom (Breishis 15:13). Also hinting to the completeness of the number 400, the last letter the Aleph-Bais, Tav, is gematria 400. The year 2020 also hints to 20 + 20 = 40, and to 20 x 20 = 400. Sometimes 20 years is a considered a generation, and sometimes 40 years is considered a generation, and it seems that 400, the completeness of 10 x 40 and of 20 x 20, may also be considered an extended form of a generation, or in other words, an entire era.

In regard to a span of 400 years, the number 400 is especially significant since even the gematria of the word שנים, Shonim, “years,” is 400, so 400 years is certainly an expanded and resonating kind of a greater “year.”

In the new post there is mention of the Holy of Holies being 8,000 cubic cubits. This is referring to the Beis HaMikdosh, Temple, where the dimensions of the Holy of Holies were 20 cubits long, 20 cubits wide, and 20 cubits high, 20 x 20 x 20 = 8,000 cubic cubits, but of course this also shows the importance of the number 20 x 20 = 400 square cubits, which was the area of the space that the Holy of Holies occupied in length and breadth on the Holy Ground.

The year 1620 itself also very much resonates with the idea of 400 years, since 400 = 1600 + 20, and 1600 = 4 x 400, plus 20, i.e., 1/20 of 400.

It is also notable that the number 400 can only be written as the sum of two squares in only one way, 400 = 144 + 256 = 12^2 + 16^2, with the 12 component corresponding to the 12 Tribes, and with 256 = 16^2 = 2^8. Additionally 256 also is the gematria of the name אהרן , Aharon, the Kohan Gadol, High Priest, and with 1 for the Kolel it is 257, the gematria of the word ארון, Aron, the Ark that held the Two Tablets of the covenant. Sometimes the word Aron is written without a letter Vov, making its gematria only 251, and it is interesting to note that 251 and 257 are respectively the 54th and the 55th primes.

Time allowing, in a future comment I will write some more about the number 400 and its many resonances.

The last US presidential election, won by President Trump for his first term, was in November 2016, and although that was only 396 years from 1620, it also resonated with the year 1620, since 2016 and 1620 are related in that both years may be considered as being composed of both numbers, 16 and 20, only with the year 1620 having them in ascending order, with the 16 before the 20 (and with 20 being the next multiple of 4 after 16), and with the year 2016 having the 16 and the 20 in descending order, with the 20 before the 16.

Also 2016 = 8 x 252, and with 252 = 2 x 126, and with 126 being the value of each of the 6 faces of the Magic/Miraculous 3^3 Cube of 27/42… In more detail, 2016 = 16 x 126 = 32 x 63 = 2^5 x 3^2 x 7… Additionally, the year 2016, by simply dropping the zero, also resonates with the number 216, corresponding to the number of letters in the 72 Triplet Name…

Regarding 1620, it is also interesting that 1620 = 2 x 810 = 20 x 81, and thus it also resonates with a combination of the secular civil year 2020 and also with the Holy Hebrew year (57)81, and also the Holy Hebrew year when the Puritans arrived in America in the Fall of 1620, was (53)81, and 53 is also the 16th (4 x 4) prime, and with 16 = 2^4, while 81 = 3^4.

Many are now predicting about this 2020 Presidential Election, that when the fraudulent votes are removed and the legal votes restored, it will turn out that President Trump really won about 400 electoral votes, or even more. It seems that with the intervention of the Courts, especially the US Supreme Court, and the State Legislatures, by following the Constitution in this matter President Trump will be re-inaugurated for his second term of office, which can be anticipated will be even greater than his first term. Anyway, let’s hope that this mess of an election will get corrected very soon, and that America, Israel, and the whole world will be elevated to reach their ordained greatness very soon.

Thanks again Ezra for this masterpiece which certainly will help us all reach even more greatness!
