By Dr. Akiva Gamliel Belk
Our Devri Torah is in the loving Memory of Mr. George Belk, Mrs Ethel Channah Sakash Belk and Donald Wayne Belk, Mr. Gary Lee Belk, and Mr. Arnold Student Litman may they rest in peace.
Parshat Vayigash
Bereisheit [Genesis] 44.18 - 47.27
What are the Ragil Gematria's [normal] for each of these Words?
Bereisheit 47.27
Phrases:
Now lets Observe a related Gematria for Vah Yay Shev -
As indicated below in the Comments: The Gematria that grabs my attention is in Bereisheit 16.9, Shoo Vee meaning 'Return'. Why Shoo Vee? This is what Yaakov requested of his Yoseif, that he return him to Eretz Canaan. If one rearranges the Letters of Vah Yay Shev Yisroel they could be Shoo Vee Return Yisroel. Now lets Observe a related Gematria for Yisroel As Indicated below in the Comments: The Gematria from that grabs my attention from this group is found in Bereisheit 18.14, Voo Lih Saw Raw. So if we combine Shoo Vee {Return} with Voo Lih Saw Raw {and to Sarah} we see the Mystical message that Yaakov was saying. Sarah, Yaakov's Grandmother was buried in the Cave of Machpeilah. Mystically we observe that Yaakov was saying return me to Sarah. This is where Yaakov was buried in Bereisheit 50.13.
Shalom Everyone,
Welcome to the Gematria Blog. Lets begin by reviewing the above questions. I(f you have questions please feel to ask.
The first Word of Bereisheit 47.27 is Vah Yay Shehv. The first Letter is a Vav. The Vav is a connecting Letter meaning 'And'. The Gematria of the Vav is 6.
The second Letter is a Yud. The Gematria of Yud is 10.
The third Letter is Shin. The Gematria of Shin is 300.
The fourth Letter is Bet. The Gematria of Bet is 2.
318 = 2 + 300 + 10 + 6
What are related Gematrias to Vah Yay Shehev? 318
Look in Bereisheit 2.5; 4.16; 14.16; 15.2; 15.11; 16.9; 22.19; 24.3; 27.41; 37.38; 42.38; 47.4 and 48.2 for the answers.
318 rings a bell, it is the number of members of Avraham's household that went out as his army to rescue Lot in the siege of Sedom (Bereisheit/Genesis Perek/Chapter 14).
Dr. Akiva Gamliel,
Would you be so kind as to give a clue for Ber.47.4. Iam particularly interested in this one since it is in this week's parsha, Vayigash.
Very Good Rebbetzin. 318 is also the number of verses with Yaakov's name mentioned in all of Ha Tenach.
The Gematria that grabs my attention is in Bereisheit 16.9, Shoo Vee meaning 'Return'. Why Shoo Vee? This is what Yaakov requested of his Yoseif, that he return him to Eretz Canaan.
I need to take your gematria class so I can follow things better.
וַיְהִי
and it was from Bereishiet 27.1
so where are we going here?
Bereisheit 47.4
וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶל פַּרְעֹה לָגוּר בָּאָרֶץ בָּאנוּ כִּי אֵין מִרְעֶה לַצֹּאן אֲשֶׁר לַעֲבָדֶיךָ כִּי כָבֵד הָרָעָב בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן וְעַתָּה יֵשְׁבוּ נָא עֲבָדֶיךָ בְּאֶרֶץ גּשֶׁן:
They said moreover to Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land we have come; for your servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan; now therefore, we beg you, let your servants live in the land of Goshen
Rebbetzim I don't get the connection in 47.4 do you?
Bereisheit 16.9
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ מַלְאַךְ יְהֹוָה שׁוּבִי אֶל גְּבִרְתֵּךְ וְהִתְעַנִּי תַּחַת יָדֶיהָ
And the angel of the Lord said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands:
shoo vee I understand
What is the meaning of 318?
Tribbles please Observe Word #19 Yay Shoo Voo in Bereisheit 47.4.

יֵשְׁבוּ
גּשֶׁן
These are the 3 shins I found in 47.4
וְעַתָּה
word #18
vaytah?
יֵשְׁבוּ
word #19
yeishuv?
Yeishuv means ---shall live
Tribbles I think it was Word #19.
am I counting wrong? or tranliterating wrong?
Tribbles, Yay Shoov of Bereisheit 47.4 means to dwell or abide.
Moving along...

establishes the root of B'nai Yisroel - Yitzak ben Avraham?
So in Bereisheit 18.14
וּלְשָׂרָה and to Sarah there will be.... a son establishes the root of B'nai Yisroel - Yitzak ben Avraham? Yes, through Yitzchok and through Yaakov {Yisroel}.
