Torah 5767 “Study Gematria and Sharpen Your Mind”
The Code of Thank You
This is the 15th Parsha of the Torah. What is the significance of the
number 15? As noted in a previous discourse, it represents the Sabbath
(Shabbos) as the Sabbath is 15% of the week. There are 10,080 minutes
in a week and Shabbos is 1512 minutes. If you do the calculations, it
comes to 15%. According to Dr . Ari Friedman, this represents the
creation of this world and the next world, which is the Yod Hei of God’s
name, which is the Gematria of 15. In this Parsha we learn that God
took us out of Egypt with a strong hand (see Exodus 13:16). Moreover, it
is one of the reasons why we commemorate the Sabbath as it is
mentioned in the Ten Commandments (see Deuteronomy 5:15), where it
says, “ And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of
Egypt, and Hashem, your God, has taken you out from there with a
strong hand.” With the aid of the codes, we see additional meaning .
The Torah says at the end of Parshas Bo,
lhbhg ihc ,pyuyku vfsh kg ,utk vhvu ohrmnn 'v ubthmuv sh ezj hf
, “And it will be sign on your hand and an ornament between your eyes
for with a strong hand God took us out of Egypt” (Exodus 13:16)
According to Rashi, the term, Totaphos refers to the phylacteries
(Tefilin). He says that whoever will see the Tephilin will be reminded
about the Exodus and speak about it. Moreover, if we take the acronym
of the encircled letters, (rearranged) it spells the word vkv,, tehilla,
meaning praise, as we say in Psalms, susk vkv,, a praise of David. This
confirms Rashi’s interpretation in that when we don the Tephilin, we
must praise God for taking us out of Mitzrayim, our former house of
bondage. As we read along in the pasuk (sentence) we mine more
findings. The encoded letters of the phrase ubthmuv sh ezj , spells the
sue, code. What is the message here? By connecting the next words with
the “code” finding we see what God wants us to do. In fact, even Moses
was unsure about how to serve God when he said to Pharaoh, “we will
not know how to serve God until our arrival there” (see Exodus 10:26).
The encoded letters of the phrase, ohrmnn 'v ubthmuv sh, spells the
word vsun, modeh, meaning to thank, as we say in our morning
prayers, oheu hj lkn lhbpk hbt vsun , I gratefully, thank you O Living
and Eternal King. We start off our prayers with words of thanking ,
which is confirmed with the above finding. It is interesting to observe
after our people were finally freed from the iron furnace of Egypt that
Moses never told Pharaoh of God’s true intentions of bringing the
children of Israel to the promised land. As noted in the beginning of
Exodus, Moses and Aaron only said to Pharaoh that he should send out
the people so that they may serve the Lord in the wilderness (See Exodus
5:1). It is my humble opinion that Pharaoh was so stubborn that if he was
told at the start that the Children of Israel should be released so that they
can go to the land of Canaan, he would never let them ago or even
negotiate their departure. Moses strategy worked. By requesting Pharaoh
to let them go celebrate with God in the wilderness, Moses and Aaron
were able to have a dialogue with him and in this in turn led to the
Exodus from Egypt.
