December 4, 2015 2:11 pm at 2:11 pm #1114957 ubiquitinParticipant Because 112 – 103 = 9 which is the numbe rof shevatim present at Yosef’s mechira December 4, 2015 4:21 pm at 4:21 pm #1114958 WolfishMusingsParticipant 9 which is the numbe rof shevatim present at Yosef’s mechira You could make a very strong argument that Yosef was present too…. The Wolf December 4, 2015 7:27 pm at 7:27 pm #1114959 ubiquitinParticipant Wolf Nope it is a befreish Gimatriya! see here: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/parashat-vayeshev#post-590341 December 4, 2015 8:06 pm at 8:06 pm #1114960 Mashiach AgentMember cause the numerical value of vayaishev-each letter counted separately & zeros removed is gematria 12 for the 12 shevatim December 4, 2015 8:54 pm at 8:54 pm #1114961 WolfishMusingsParticipant Wolf Nope it is a befreish Gimatriya! Are you really trying to tell me that Yosef wasn’t present for any part of Mechiras Yosef? The Wolf December 5, 2015 11:39 pm at 11:39 pm #1114962 ubiquitinParticipant Wolf I wasnt there. But I assumed he wasnt there either. IT seems awkward to sell him with him standing right there. they sold him while still in the pit then pulled him out and handed him over. And as I said I’m not telling you it is a gimatriya PS are you really arguing over this? You do know Im kidding right?

December 6, 2015 1:28 am at 1:28 am #1114964 ubiquitinParticipant CA they pointed at him down in the pit, And said look how tough he is even the snakes and scorpions are afraid of him December 6, 2015 2:02 am at 2:02 am #1114965 ☕️coffee addictParticipant Ok, I concede December 6, 2015 7:40 pm at 7:40 pm #1114966 GoldilocksParticipant the snakes and scorpions were afraid of him….but the potential buyers weren’t???? December 6, 2015 8:22 pm at 8:22 pm #1114967 ubiquitinParticipant Goldilocks they were! Thats why they quickly sold him to the midyanim who in turn sold him to Potiphar Author Posts Viewing 12 posts - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
