Tell me some nice gematrias.. I mamesh love them.
The letters of choshav (thought)=310 and choshad(suspected)=312.
The 2 extra=the 2 sides you can choose from, guilty or innocent?
Benefit of the doubt…or not?
I like them when they add up perfectly and we don’t have to make up an excuse for the excess (like when “Torah” adds up to 611 and we have to explain why it’s just so darn close to 613, but not quite).
One of my favorites: Eim (mother) = 41. Av (father) = 3. Thus, eim plus av is 44, which is exactly the numerical value of yeled (child). 44 Is also the number of autosomes (non-gender chromosomes) in the human body. Imma and abba (with their irregular spelling) would add up to 46: the total number of chromosomes in humans.
So that Torah is not misrepresented chas vsholom…I confess I made that one up.If not I would have provided a mekor. (No I was not up all night:)just woke up from something and going right back to sleep…)
and we don’t have to make up an excuse for the excess (like when “Torah” adds up to 611 and we have to explain why it’s just so darn close to 613, but not quite).
Torah being 611, and the excuse why it’s ‘so darn close’, is a Gemara in Makkos 23b. Does that make you like it better?
