Genesis 25:19 - 28:9 This study of mysticism in Hebrew Gematria is dedicated in the loving memory of Mrs. Ethel Sakash Belk, my mother, may she rest in peace. Our parsha begins with Yitzchok pleading to
Hashem for children. His wife Rivkah is barren... Rivkah conceives,
thank G-d!. The Torah states {a short time later}, "The
children clashed inside her, and when this happened she said,
'Why am I experiencing this? She went to inquire of Hashem. Hashem
said to her, 'Two nations are in your womb, and two governments
will separate from within you. One government will be mightier
than the other, but the greater one will serve the smaller one.'"
Genesis 25:22,23 Let's examine this a little closer. Notice the phrase, Shi Nay - Goy Yim' - Bi Veet Naych, meaning, "Two nations are in your womb." Within these three words there are two unique acrostics. Shi Nay - Goy Yim - Bi Veet Naych The first acrostic is from the first letter of each of the three words of the phrase, Shi Nay - Goy Yim - Bi Veet Naych Shi Nay Goy Yim Bi Veet Naych This spells {read from right to left}: Bais Gimmel Shin Saw Gahv {meaning "to be high, mighty, strong, extolled, sublime"}. This describes Eisov the first born... The second acrostic follows the first as Yaakov followed Eisov in birth. This acrostic is taken from the last letter of the last two words of the same phrase Shi Nay - Goy Yim - Bi Veet Naych Goy Yim Bi Veet Naych This spells {read from right to left}: Chof Mem So from the same three word phrase Shi Nay - Goy Yim - Bi Veet Naych {meaning "Two nations are in your womb"} we have the acrostic of Saw Gahv representing Eisov and the acrostic of Mawch representing Yaakov. The Gematria of Saw Gahv is 305 as follows {read from right to left}: Saw Gahv Gematria 305 describes the actions and intent of Eisov in the word "Li Haw Rah" {meaning "to hurt, harm; to do evil"} which is what the Torah states Eisov intended to do to Yaakov. "Eisov said in his heart, 'The days of mourning for my father are approaching. I will then kill my brother, Yaakov.'" Genesis 27:41 {Read from right to left}: Li Haw Rah
The Gematria of Mawch is 60 as follows {read from right to left}: Mawch In the Gematria 60 we see reverence for G-d and reverence for His commands in the Torah in the word Hah Law Chawh {meaning "law, rule, tradition"}. It was Yaakov who loved to study Hah Law Chawh according to our sages, Yaakov who loved to dwell in tents of learning... Yaakov learned with Sheim, the righteous son of Noach, and with Eiver, the righteous great grandson of Sheim. Hah Law Chawh So among these two nations we see Eisov, the "high, mighty and strong one," subdued by Yaakov, the "humble" student of the Torah! May you have the best! Dr. Akiva G.
