Parashah Tetzaveh is divided into 4
topics:
1) The Vestments of the Priests (including the High Priest);
2) The Inauguration Ritual (which was performed by Moshe);
3) The Tamid Offering (which was brought twice daily); and
4) The Golden Altar (and its function).
This post will be organizationally compartmentalized in similar form, so that the reader can more easily follow the linguistic patterns associated with each topic, insofar as the structure of the text is concerned. Like we saw in the post on Terumah,
Parashah Terumah and Tetzaveh are really 2 halves of a whole, and parallel the first set of
luchot that Moshe went up to receive in Parashah Mishpatim.
Parashah Terumah described the construction of the Mishkan and its vessels, and
Tetzaveh describes the Inauguration of the Priests so that they could officiate
in the Mishkan, along with what the Priests wore when officiating in the operation of the
Mishkan (which couldn’t be done without these vestments), also a missing vessel of
the Mishkan (the other Altar), and the Tamid offering, which was a service that
was performed daily and a good example of how the Mishkan was always in
use. Thus Tetzaveh relates the preparation of the people that were to officiate
in the Mishkan (the Priests) and the start of a service they would perform every
single day. Technically, most of the narrative in Parashah Tetzaveh happens
many months after the events of Ki Thisa (the next Parashah), but as explained
in the post on Terumah, Tetzaveh
actually corresponds to the second tablet of the first set of luchot. The first
set was ultimately broken: “the vessels shattered; the light couldn’t be
contained” (see the post on Lekh Lekha
on the Sapphire Magen David blog). Incidentally, this Parashah is for the most part repeated in Pekudey. We will see many similar reflections of the Signature that
were found in the construction of the Mishkan and its vessels (see the post on Terumah) here in Parashah Tetzaveh among the
priest’s code, in the laws of what they must wear to perform the service in the
Mishkan, their Inauguration to be able to officiate in the Mishkan (and later
Temples), and in the actual service and operation of the Mishkan (described here
in the Tamid offerings). Thus it is advised to have read the post on Terumah,
and also of course, the Essential Construct on the 8 Dimensions at the Sapphire Magen David blog which explains certain fundamental aspects of the cosmic blueprint from which all measurements are derived. Also,
keep in mind that Parashah Tetzaveh corresponds to the second tablet of the
first set of luchot. We will therefore see many 2s throughout the Parashah.
The word “Terumah” (תְּרוּמָה) (the name of last week’s Parashah) is gematria 651. This one-dimensional numeric string hides the connection to the luchot and the Parashah. Notice the 6 is in the 3rd number column (ones, tens, hundreds). This hints to the dimensions of the luchot: 6³ or 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 handbreadths, the same as the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name. Thus the gematria of Terumah, reflects the mathematic and geometric characteristics of the luchot, but more specifically the first tablet of the first set. Why the first tablet of the first set? The other numbers of the gematria of “Terumah” are 5 and 1. This is the first in the sequence that will seen throughout this parashah, like 1 tablet (or the first of the first set) which had 5 commandments on it. The word “Tetzaveh” (תְּצַוֶּה) (the name of this week’s Parashah) is gematria 501. This one-dimensional numeric string also hints to the connection this Parashah has to 1 tablet but in this case, it alludes to the second tablet of the first set that also had 5 commandments etched within. Notice there is a 0 in the gematria. Just like the 6 in the 3rd place of the gematria of “Terumah,” this too hints to the dimensions of the luchot (6³) while the 0 of the gematria of Tetzaveh hints to the fact that this (first) set of luchot would shatter and equal 0, necessitating a second set (to which VaYakHel and Pekudey correspond). As Parashah Tetzaveh correlates with the second tablet, it 'completes' the mathematic reflection of the first set of luchot, including their ultimate fate. We will see (at the end of this post) that there are numerous sets of gematrias in this week’s Parashah that are seemingly 1 off, hinting to the Signature. It is likely 1 off because it reflects the nature of the first set that was already starting to disappear. The first set did not last and were shattered almost immediately.
There are a total of 4 positive commandments and 3 prohibitions in Parashah Tetzaveh. This is like the 3 primary abbreviations of the Name that each have 4 letters. You will see many reflections of all 3 primary 4-letter abbreviations of the Name throughout this post (/Parashah). As we proceed, we will also see many reflections of the 4 letters resulting from the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name. These reflections invariably take the form of 1 letter that is different from the other 3 (as this Parashah corresponds to the second tablet of the first set of luchot, when the sets are seen as a reflection of the 4 letters of Ekeyeh). This will be explained more fully, toward the end of the post.
The word “Terumah” (תְּרוּמָה) (the name of last week’s Parashah) is gematria 651. This one-dimensional numeric string hides the connection to the luchot and the Parashah. Notice the 6 is in the 3rd number column (ones, tens, hundreds). This hints to the dimensions of the luchot: 6³ or 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 handbreadths, the same as the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name. Thus the gematria of Terumah, reflects the mathematic and geometric characteristics of the luchot, but more specifically the first tablet of the first set. Why the first tablet of the first set? The other numbers of the gematria of “Terumah” are 5 and 1. This is the first in the sequence that will seen throughout this parashah, like 1 tablet (or the first of the first set) which had 5 commandments on it. The word “Tetzaveh” (תְּצַוֶּה) (the name of this week’s Parashah) is gematria 501. This one-dimensional numeric string also hints to the connection this Parashah has to 1 tablet but in this case, it alludes to the second tablet of the first set that also had 5 commandments etched within. Notice there is a 0 in the gematria. Just like the 6 in the 3rd place of the gematria of “Terumah,” this too hints to the dimensions of the luchot (6³) while the 0 of the gematria of Tetzaveh hints to the fact that this (first) set of luchot would shatter and equal 0, necessitating a second set (to which VaYakHel and Pekudey correspond). As Parashah Tetzaveh correlates with the second tablet, it 'completes' the mathematic reflection of the first set of luchot, including their ultimate fate. We will see (at the end of this post) that there are numerous sets of gematrias in this week’s Parashah that are seemingly 1 off, hinting to the Signature. It is likely 1 off because it reflects the nature of the first set that was already starting to disappear. The first set did not last and were shattered almost immediately.
There are a total of 4 positive commandments and 3 prohibitions in Parashah Tetzaveh. This is like the 3 primary abbreviations of the Name that each have 4 letters. You will see many reflections of all 3 primary 4-letter abbreviations of the Name throughout this post (/Parashah). As we proceed, we will also see many reflections of the 4 letters resulting from the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name. These reflections invariably take the form of 1 letter that is different from the other 3 (as this Parashah corresponds to the second tablet of the first set of luchot, when the sets are seen as a reflection of the 4 letters of Ekeyeh). This will be explained more fully, toward the end of the post.
We will follow the order of the Parashah as
presented in the Torah, and begin with the section on the Vestments
of the Priests. Note however, that before the Parashah talks about the Vestments, there are 2 verses discussing oil for the Menorah. We will see throughout this post (as in Parashah Tetzaveh) how this corresponds to the luchot, and specifically the second tablet of the first set. It
should come as no surprise then, that there are exactly 2
verses that precede the description of the Vestments of the Priests. Keep in
mind that the 2s in this week’s Parashah not
only allude to the 2 tablets, but also the fact
that there were 2 sets of 2 tablets. In this case, by virtue of their place in the sequence, they correspond specifically to the second
tablet of the first set of luchot.
The first verse of the Parashah (27:20) describes the oil
that God commands Moshe to use in the lighting of the Menorah: 1) oil; from 2) olives; 3) pure; 4) pressed; 5) for illumination; and
6) to kindle a lamp "continually." Note there are 6
conditions. This number corresponds to any given dimension of the luchot, each being: 6 handbreadths (x 6 handbreadths x 6 handbreadths). However, the word “continually” (תָּמִיד) expands on this connection. Its gematria 454, is a one-dimensional numeric string that hides the Signature. In the case of the plagues, each mention of the mateh/staff of Moshe (gematria 54) would be related 4 times (4 x 54 = 216). Then there would be a gap in the sequence and the word would repeat another 4 times (4 x 54 = 216). Here we see the same Signature in the word "continually" which alludes to the One who is eternal, the One whose Name consists of 216 letters, and whose luchot consists of 4 specific quadrants of 54 elements (4 x 54 = 216). We refer to this geometry as 4cSpace54.
However, whatever you choose to call the geometry, it corresponds to the marriage of the 4-letter abbreviations of the Name, resulting in Ekeyeh (see Part II of the Essential Construct 8 Dimensions on the Sapphire Magen David blog). We will see this reflection many times throughout this post, and will refrain from explaining it in detail since that has already been done. The reader should take the time to understand and be familiar with the geometry and the associated mathematic constructs, particularly as it applies to the Name and the dynamics of the luchot in its respective form of ccSpace216. In the future, we will only point out where the reflection occurs in the text.

In the next verse
(27:21) Moshe is given 3 location markers where the Menorah was present in the Mishkan: 1) in the Tent of Meeting; 2) outside the
Partition; that is 3) near the Testimonial-tablets. The number 3
of course hints to the triad nature of God’s
Explicit Name, like the 9 triplets that are written on 8
lines (see such posts as VaEra and Bo). The word, “Testimonial-tablets” עֵדֻת)) is gematria 474, and as seen on the
post on VaYishlach on the Sapphire
Magen David blog, this number corresponds to all 3 primary abbreviations of the
Explicit Name. As seen in the Essential Construct 8 Dimensions, these 3 abbreviations directly correspond to the
division of the luchot in all three dimensions. All this being considered, it should come as no surprise that the word עֵדֻת means “Testimonial-tablets” i.e. the luchot. You will notice
they are again mentioned in this Parashah. However here, they are in the second verse. This points to the connection between this Parashah and the second tablet of the
first set of luchot. The verse continues: “Aaron
and his sons shall arrange it from evening until morning.” The sentence is linguistically structured in the form of 'opposites,' that are 2 and 2, like the 2 halves of the 2 sets of luchot. This is like the geometry of the luchot when divided in half in two dimensions, again a mathematic reflection of the 4 letters of Ekeyeh (see Part II of the 8
Dimensions).
In 28:1, God instructs Moshe to, “bring near to yourself Aaron your brother, and his sons,”
another, albeit expanded form of the 2 above, like the 2
luchot (and more specifically the second tablet
of the first set; we will see this reflection numerous times in this Parashah). The verse then delineates by name who Moshe should bring
near: 1) Aaron, 2) Nadav, 3) Avihu, 4) Elazar, and 5) Ithamar. These are 5, with one different: i.e. Aaron, who was the father of the
others. This facet of the linguistic structure is like the geometry of the internal constructs within the combined cubic form of
the luchot where, out of 5 constructs, 1 (the
tetrahedron) is different than the others.
In 28:2, it says, “You shall make
vestments of sanctity for Aaron your brother, for glory
and splendor.” The linguistic structure takes the form of 2,
like the 2 luchot (and in this sequence the second
tablet of the first set). The word “splendor” (תִּפְאָרֶת) is gematria 1081, or 5 x 216 (1080) the number
of letters in God’s Explicit Name and the number of cubic handbreadths in each of the luchot, plus 1, it being from 1 cube before its division, with a volumetric measure of 216, the number of letters in the 1 Explicit
Name that gives rise to 1 cosmic blueprint with 216 measurable elements. 1081 is also a
one-dimensional numeric string that corresponds to the 108
cubic handbreadths on 1 tablet of the luchot (we
will find the other half below as we proceed). The gematria, in this case, is a comprehensive mathematic language that describes the one, two and three- dimensional aspects of the luchot and the Name from which it is derived; in this case we refer to it as 2cSpace108.
In 28:3, the word, “spirit” (רוּח)
is gematria 214,
a one-dimensional string of integers alluding to the two 14s, which
are the number of elements in the two tetrahedrons of a star tetrahedron (14
opposite 14; see the post on Yitro). The tetrahedron is one of the
internal constructs within the luchot that, when married to its polar opposite, has 216
elements that corresponds to the 216 letters of
the Signature. So the word “spirit” clearly alludes to presence of the Blessed Holy One. This verse says, “they shall make the vestments of Aaron, to sanctify him to minister
to Me.” Or again, linguistically 2 (in this case purposes) like the 2 luchot (here corresponding to the second
tablet of the first set). The word, “to sanctify him” (לְקַדְּשׁוֹ) is gematria 440. This string hints to the
4 opposite 4 nature of the quadrants of ccSpace216 and the corresponding letters of the abbreviations (see the 8 Dimensions), times the 10 commandments that were on/in the luchot having these dimensions. It is important to contemplate the significance.
In 28:4 it lists the vestments of the High Priest:
1) Breastplate,
2) Ephod,
3) Robe,
4) Tunic (of box-like knit),
5) Turban, and
6) Sash
Notice the verse only mentions 6. However, there were actually 8. The other 2 aren’t mentioned here. This is like the 8 quadrants of ccSpace216 (that comprise the geometry of the luchot) which had outer dimensions of 6
handbreadths (cubed) and the first set of 2
tablets that were destroyed and “gone,” like the 2 missing vestments
here.
This is another allusion to the second tablet of the first set of luchot that ultimately did not survive intact (to which this entire Parashah corresponds). The verse continues and states, “They shall make vestments of sanctity for Aaron … and his sons, to minister toMe,
Further, when the verse mentions only 6 of the 8, the linguistic structure reflects the nature of the marriage of the primary abbreviations where the 6 letters (3 couples) are married by a physical 'addition' and the remaining 2 letters (1 couple) are married by a physical 'subtraction,' the total being 8. We refer to this in context as 8cSpace27. However, in this case, the text also alludes to the one "pair" that is different (just as one pair of letters is combined differently).

8cSpace27
Though with 1 different
(reflecting the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name)
(click to enlarge)
In 28:5, the materials used to make the vestments are
enumerated: 1) gold, 2) turquoise wool, 3) purple wool, 4) scarlet wool, and 5)
linen. This is 5, but one is different: gold is not usually used as a material that is
woven into fabrics. As seen in the corresponding post on Tetzaveh on the Sapphire Magen David blog, gold was actually spun into the other materials,
and so depending on what material was being used, if gold
thread was involved, then it was always added to the other material. For
example, as seen in the post on Terumah,
any time it mentions, “linen” (שֵׁשׁ) which is gematria 600 (corresponding to the dimensions of the luchot) it means that there was 6 threads
that were spun together. So when gold is
also one of the materials used, then there were 6
threads of the material, spun with 1 thread of gold. The pattern follows the 6 days of the week with Shabbat (another 1) being the 7th. The list of materials used to make the vestments,
was nevertheless 5 materials, where 1 was
different from the others (it being gold). This ratio is
identical to the internal constructs of a cube (as in the combined cubic form of the luchot) where 1 of the 5 constructs is decidedly different. In this case, these five (materials) are opposite the 5 (in the list of priests mentioned previously) where 1 was also different, and so we have a crystal clear reflection of the cosmic blueprint (luchot) which is the template for creation. The linguistic structure is very precise in this regard. In fact, in this verse where gold is
mentioned (since the word “gold” (זָהָב) is gematria 14) it also corresponds to the very elements of the tetrahedron(s) that have these mathematic and geometric characteristics (as seen in the post on Terumah, and the post on Yitro). If indeed the star
tetrahedron (three-dimensional magen david) is the Royal Seal of the Architect, and if it really does geometrically reflect the letters of the Name, then we should expect to find its polar opposite (another 14) in subsequent text, and indeed we do, as you will see in a moment.
Ephod
The first vestment of the High Priest that is mentioned is
the Ephod (an apron-like garment). The word, “Ephod” (אֵפוֹד) is gematria 91, which is the sum of the gematria for the Tetragrammaton (26)
and the gematria for the Havayah of Adnoot (65). These 2 abbreviations of the Name combine to
form the Havayah of Ekeyeh, the combination alluding to the purpose of the service performed, which was the 'unification' mathematically hidden in the Ephod. In 28:6, we are told the Ephod was made of 5 materials: 1) gold, 2) turquoise wool, 3) purple
wool, 4) scarlet wool, and 5) twisted linen. This is again 5
like the 5 internal and external constructs
within the luchot (we will see their polar opposites below). The word, “gold” (זָהָב) is of course
mentioned in this verse, and as it is gematria 14,
it not only corresponds to the 14 elements in a
tetrahedron, but it is the missing counterpart to the polar opposite found above. When the 2 halves merge,
they create the star tetrahedron or Royal Seal.
In 28:7, it says, “It shall have 2
shoulder straps attached to its 2 ends, and it
shall be attached.” Attached... attached? The 2 luchot were attached (before division) and the other 2 luchot were attached before division. The 2 and 2 are also like the 4
quadrants of the luchot (when divided in the second dimension) which invariably reflects the marriage of the 8 letters resulting in the 4 letters of Ekeyeh. Thus all 3
abbreviations of the Name are mathematically hidden in the Ephod: The Tetragrammaton and the
Havayah of Adnoot were hidden in the main part of the Ephod (seen above) and the Havayah
of Ekeyeh (joined/married) on the shoulder straps. The word, “and it shall be attached” (וְחֻבָּר) hides another very bright reflection of the full Signature, as this word has a gematria of 216, the same as the number of letter’s in
God’s Explicit Name.
In 28:8, we are told that the belt that was on the Ephod was
of the same workmanship and made out of the same materials: 1) gold, 2) turquoise
wool, 3) purple wool, 4) scarlet wool, and 5) linen. This is again 5 and is opposite the 5
(materials) above, so it too reflects the nature of the 5
internal or external constructs within the luchot. This verse also has the word, “gold” (זָהָב) (gematria 14). We will find its
polar opposite below.
In 28:9, it says, “You shall take the 2 SardOnyx stones and engrave upon them the names of
the sons of Israel
In 28:10, we are told that 6 of
their names were on 1 stone, and the 6
remaining names on the 2nd stone. The two measures of the luchot are 6 x
6 (the second dimension). This verse says the names were to be positioned, “according
to their birth”, and the word תוֹלְדֹתָם is gematria 880. This is coincidentally like the above series of eights with one missing, but nevertheless a reflection of the same thing.
In 28:11, it says, “shall you engrave the 2 stones” again 2, obviously the 2 luchot (but more specifically the second tablet of the first set). The word, “you shall engrave” (תְּפַתַּח) is again gematria 888. The significance was already explained above. However, in this verse we are told that the SardOnyx stones were encircled with gold, and as the word “gold”
(זָהָב) is gematria 14, we have the
polar opposite of the previous "tetrahedron" (with 14 elements) that was missing above, and they combine to form the star tetrahedron (the Royal Seal).
In 28:12, it says, “You shall place both stones … on [both]
the shoulder straps” or 2 and 2, again the reflection of the luchot divided in the
second dimension and another reflection of the marriage between the letters resulting in the 4
letters of Ekeyeh.
In 28:13, there is a rare 3
word verse, alluding to the triad nature of the Name and the geometry of the royal seal. The balance of the geometry is found in 28:13-14, where the word “gold” is mentioned two times. Its gematria corresponds to the 14 elements opposite 14 elements
in a star tetrahedron (Royal Seal) with 3 points on each face of the two tetrahedrons.
In 28:14 is the word, “pure” (טָהוֹר). In the post on Terumah, we demonstrated how the gematria of 220 is connected to the 22 (pure) letters that flowed from the cosmic blueprint times the 10 utterances that formed creation. In the same verse, we are told that 2 gold chains (14 opposite 14) were braided (married together). The allusion to the geometric marriage between two tetrahedrons doesn't get much brighter. However, the 2 chains also correspond to the 2 luchot (and here specifically the second tablet of the first set) where the word, “braided” (עֲבֹתֹת) hides the Signature. It is gematria 872. The 72 alludes to the number of triplets. The number 8, to the 8 letters of the two primary abbreviations found in the Eight Dimensions of the luchot. Is there a mathematic witness? If you read this string from right to left, then it becomes 278, like the 8 quadrants of ccSpace216 (8cSpace27) where each quadrant has 27 elements (see the 8 Dimensions) and 27 x 8 = 216, the Signature of the Architect.

Breastplate
The next vestment of the High Priest was the Breastplate. In 28:15, we are again told what the Breastplate was made out of:
1) gold, 2) turquoise wool, 3) purple wool, 4) scarlet wool, and 5) twisted
linen. These 5 materials are a function of the 5 internal and external constructs of the blueprint. The word, “gold” is also in this verse, gematria 14, and so together they allude to the Royal Seal (elements in a tetrahedron) within the cube of creation.
We will see the polar opposite of this reflection of the seal below.
In 28:16, it says, “Square
shall it be, folded, its length a half-cubit and its width a half-cubit.”
The word, “Square” (רָבוּעַ) is gematria 278 (the polar opposite or 'reverse' of the one dimensional string we just saw above). This again hints to the 8
quadrants of ccSpace216 that each have 27 elements, and where 27 x 8 = 216 (see the 8 Dimensions post and the graphic above labeled as 8cSpace27). The geometry is of course (two-dimensionally) square. The Breastplate was
actually 6 handbreadths long by 3 handbreadths wide, but the length was “folded”
in half (which created a pocket that will be discussed below), and so the
resulting dimensions of the Breastplate were 3
handbreadths long by 3 handbreadths wide. It was thus “Square.” The 3 is the measure of the division (6 x 6 x 3) where 3 by 3 are two dimensions of any 1 quadrant of ccSpace216 (resulting from its division in all three dimensions). All of this text and what it describes is intricately connected to the measure of the cosmic blueprint. The Breastplate was also 12 thumb-breadths long by 12
thumb-breadths wide (like the 12 Tribes opposite their counterparts; the 12 stones (Ki Thavo) and their counterparts; and the 12 letters of the Tri-Tetra-Grammaton opposite their counterparts). These dimensions equate to a total
of (12 x 12 =
) 144 thumb-breadths, which is two-dimensional, and two thirds of 216 (we will find the missing third below). The Breastplate was also 18 small-finger-breadths long by 18 small-finger-breadths wide. 18 x 18 = 324, and this number is actually the Mispar Katan of 2 multiples of the Signature. 14 times the Signature (216) = 3,024 (324 in Mispar Katan), and 15 times the Signature (216) = 3,240 (again 324 in Mispar Katan) (see the Significant Numbers, and see there for additional significance). The number 18 is of course the gematria of life (חַי). The Breastplate
was used to communicate with God in life and
death circumstances, such as whether to go to war, or not. The words provide us with a very bright
reflection of the Signature in the word, “its width” (רָחְבּוֹ) which has a gematria of 216.
In 28:17-20, we are told there were 4
rows of 3 of precious stones on the Breastplate (see the table below).
These correspond to the tribes, but they are also a reflection of the 3 primary abbreviations of 4 letters that also define the Royal Seal with 3 points on each of 4 faces etc. Since the Name gives rise to the blueprint which gives rise to reality, we see its reflection in the world below where we have the 3 forefathers and 4 foremothers. Just keep in mind that it also happens to be a reflection of the supernal equivalents (i.e. the 3
primary abbreviations of the Name that each have 4
letters).
The stones were set in gold
like the shoulder stones, and the word, “gold” (in 28:20) is here the polar
opposite of the one above. Together they combine to form another reflection of the star tetrahedron (the Royal Seal) with 14 opposite 14
elements.
In 28:21, it says, “The stones shall be … 12 according to their names, … for the 12 tribes.” This amounts to a literal legal definition affirming the comparison in Ki Thavo, as 12
opposite 12, like the Tri-Tetra-Grammaton with its polar opposite; the 12 stones on each bank of the Jordan
River; the 12 pillars opposite 12 Tribes (see the post on Mishpatim); and the 12
smaller triangles opposite 12 smaller
triangles when 2 tetrahedrons merge (see there). Each twelve in this verse is decidedly male or female, just
like the primary polar opposites of the male/female universe we live in, which is a result of the “male/female” division
of the luchot, which in turn results from the “male/female” division of the letters in the Name.
In 28:22, we are told that the Breastplate had gold chains. The Breastplate had 2 gold chains that
were looped through the rings on the top corners of the Breastplate, and the
ends of the chains were hooked into the rings of the shoulder straps of the
Ephod. Thus the 2 chains were divided in 2 (to make 4), just like each set of luchot was divided in 2. These 4 are also like their 'template' in the quadrants of the blueprint (luchot) divided
in the second dimension, which are (again) like their template, in the 4
letters of Ekeyeh.
In 28:22, there is again the word, “gold” (gematria 14) like the number of
elements in a tetrahedron. It also has the qualifying word, “pure” (טָהוֹר) (gematria 220) the significance of which has already been explained. Although, we should emphasize that the words made from the letters are "pure gold" to those that hear them.
In 28:23, it says, “For the Breastplate shall you make 2 rings of gold,” again 2 like the 2
luchot (and the second tablet of the first
set) and the word, “gold” (gematria 14) that combined with the same word in the previous verse reflect the 14 opposite 14 elements of the Royal Seal. The verse continues and says, “and you shall place the 2 rings on the 2 ends
of the Breastplate.” The reference to 2 and 2 are thus "repeated" and the result is like the number of quadrants in each half of the luchot, when
the luchot are divided in all three dimensions, where they again correspond to the marriage in the abbreviations: here the 4 letters of the Tetragrammaton (we will see their opposing half below).
In 28:24, it says, “You shall place 2 golden ropes on
the 2 rings,” and so again we see 2
and 2, like the number of quadrants of (the
other) half of the luchot when the luchot are divided in the third dimension. This is the other "half" in the text which corresponds to the 4 letters of the Havayah
of Adnoot. This verse again has the word, “gold”
which, with its gematria of 14, corresponds to yet another tetrahedron with 14 elements.
In 28:25, it says, “And the 2
ends of the 2 ropes, you shall place on the 2 settings, which you shall place on the [2] shoulder straps of the Ephod”. Any writer would consider this number of repetitions of the word "two," or number "two," to be redundant, to the point of hyperbole. However it is not at all redundant, when you realize that it is a series of letters (primordial energy) emanating from the cube of creation having these exact mathematic and geometric characteristics. Understand this well. The above numbers and sets of numbers are linguistically structured as 4 opposite 4, like the letters of the two primary abbreviations, that give rise to the 8 quadrants of ccSpace216 in the blueprint that follows.
In 28:26, it says, “You shall make 2 rings of gold,
and place them on the 2 ends of the Breastplate.” Now the pattern is becoming so redundant, to the same point of hyperbole, that one must realize it is a complex mathematic reflection, within a reflection, all of which have the origin in the letters of the Name. The 2 and 2, are again half of the 8
quadrants of ccSpace216 that correspond, again, to the 4 letters of the Tetragrammaton (we will see the other
half below). The word, “gold” is also mentioned again, and combined with its
counterpart above, they correspond to the 14 opposite
14 elements in the Royal Seal reflecting the 216 "elements" (letters) of the Name, but only when the 3 corners of each face are tallied. So it is, that the
verse continues with 3 specifications: 1) at
its bottom, 2) on its inner side, 3) toward the Ephod; making the geometric reflection of the Signature complete.
In 28:27, it says, “You shall make 2 rings of gold and place them at the bottom of the 2 shoulder straps of the Ephod.” The 2 and 2, are like (the
other) half of the 8
quadrants of ccSpace216 that correspond to the 4 letters of the Havayah of Adnoot. This verse also
has the word, “gold” which is
gematria 14, and corresponds to the number of
elements in a tetrahedron. Its polar opposite will be seen below in the Robe,
for all the vestments of the High Priest were not separate garments, but are all
really part of a whole. If the High Priest was missing one garment, he was not
allowed to officiate in the Mishkan. Why? Because all, together, were a reflection of God's Name. Is there another witness to testify to this geometric connection? The two 14s are structurally adequate to provide the framework of the Royal Seal, but not without the triad facets, and so we see the verse continue, again with 3 specifications: 1) toward its front, 2) opposite its
seam, 3) above the belt of the Ephod. These 3
serve to complete the geometry associated with the 216 letters. It's the second repetition of this same reflection, and so the 3 x 3 (added to the 3 in the previous verse) are like two dimensions in any of 8 quadrants (look for it to become 3 x 3 x 3 times 8, or 216 in total, as we proceed).
In 28:28, it says, “They shall attach the Breastplate
from its rings to the rings
of the Ephod,” the plural 2 twice, like the 2 luchot (and the second
tablet of the first set). The verse continues with 2 reasons:
1) so that it will remain above the belt of the Ephod, and 2) the Breastplate
will not be loosened from upon the Ephod; again 2. Combined with the other 2
in this verse, they correspond to the 2 opposite
2 quadrants of the luchot when divided in the
second dimension, which correspond to the 4
letters of Ekeyeh (and thus all 3 primary abbreviations of the Name are seen mathematically in the Breastplate).
In 28:29, the word, “always” (תָּמִיד)
is gematria 454,
and this one-dimensional numeric string alludes to the 4
(quadrants of ccSpace216 when divided two-dimensionally) x 54 (elements in each quadrant) =
216 (the number of letters in God’s Explicit
Name). Coincidence? The word “always” alludes to something that is eternal. The only thing that is eternal is God, and His Name has 216 letters. Everything is interconnected. We mentioned this same mathematic pattern in the beginning of this post (where the graphic is labeled as 4cSpace54) as it is a recurring reflection. The word in this verse, “Sanctuary” (קֹדֶשׁ)
is gematria 404, or 4 0pposite 4, like the quadrants
of ccSpace216 that have those 216 elements corresponding to the letters. Indeed, everything really is connected and everything emanates from the letters of God's Name. Just keep in mind that when the luchot are divided in half, along all
three dimensions, the resulting geometry is 4 0pposite 4 with 216 elements, reflecting not only the letters of the Explicit Name but the letters of its primary abbreviations. This pattern does not stop.
In 28:30, it says, “Into the Breastplate … shall you place
the Urim and the Tumim,”
or 2 like the 2
luchot (and specifically the second tablet of
the first set). This was placed in the fold of the Breastplate (see above), and was the "batteries" of the Breastplate. It allowed communication through the Breastplate with God. The path of communication was facilitated through the use of 2 (the Urim and the Tumim), just like the luchot were 2, and the template for the universe. The luchot of course had 216 cubic handbreadths, which mirrored the 216 letters in God’s Explicit Name. Though the direct line to God was lost, the eternal Name with 216 letters that Uses the cosmic blueprint with 216 cubic handbreadths is still actively creating everything in the universe. The eternal Name is hinted to in this same verse, for it contains the word, “always” (תָּמִיד), which is gematria 454 or
4 x 54 = 216, the same number of letters in God’s Explicit (and Eternal) Name.
As we saw above, the Breastplate had 4 rows of 3 stones. We’ve already explained that this is like the 3 primary abbreviations of the Name which
each have 4 letters. Each of the 12 stones had the name of each Tribe on it, but
there were also other letters on the Breastplate. This too has an intricate connection to the cube of creation. The words, “Avraham
Yitzchak Yaacov Shivtei Jeshurun” (אברהם יצחק יעקב שבטי ישרון) were also on the Breastplate so that each stone had 6 letters on it. The chart below shows how the letters were spaced on each stone, so that each had 6 letters. The
letters beside each tribes’ name are colored for the convenience of the reader, so you can see how each of the extra words were spaced on the Breastplate (in
reality, all letters were the colors of their individual stones).

The extra words also insured that all 22 letters were on the Breastplate, and so when God communicated with the people, or conveyed His 'message' through the stones, it could be formed using all the letters. Notice Binyamin was the only tribe, to whose name no letters
were added, since his name already contained 6 letters.
This was a hint that in Binyamin’s merit, his Tribe did not become extinct as a
result of the incident of the Concubine at Gibeah, (Judges 20:47), and 600 members of his Tribe survived.
Every stone had 6 letters, and
thus there were a total of (12 stones x 6 letters on each = ) 72
letters on the Breastplate, or a third of the
Name. We saw above that the number of thumb-breadths of the dimensions of the
Breastplate equaled two thirds of the Name (144). Upon the
Breastplate were 72 letters, and so here is the missing third. Together they equal (144 + 72 = ) 216, the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name.
As seen in the post on Terumah, the Signature was hidden from the casual observer in the measurements that are not usually used. We were able to detect it once the measurements were converted to the smallest measure. The same applies in this Parashah. As we saw above, the Breastplate was also 18 by 18 small-finger-breadths. 18 x 18 = 324 (elements in the form of small-finger-breadths). If we now multiply it by the third element, the number of letters upon the Breastplate (72), we get (324 x 72 = ) 23,328, or 108 times 216, which is half the Signature (108) times the Signature (216). Although, remember that the Breastplate was folded in half, and so it was really double these dimensions. The numbers were just squashed down to accommodate the two-dimensional framework of the Breastplate. In 2D, we see only half the picture (like in in the post on HaBerakhah on the Sapphire Magen David blog). But the Breastplate had the other half which folded to create the pocket for the Urim and the Tumim, and so with both halves (108) the total dimensions become 36 small-finger-breadths of the total length x 18 small-finger-breadths of the width x 72 letters upon the Breastplate = 46,656, or 216 x 216. This is the Signature of the Architect 'squared' (216²) like the Breastplate itself that was square, and also the 2 luchot that were (two-dimensionally) square, with a volumetric measure in three dimensions of 216 cubic handbreadths. It is also like the 2 sets of luchot that each had dimensions of 216 cubic handbreadths. The Breastplate was folded in half (108), and so its 2 halves contained dimensions that paralleled each half (108) of the Name as well as the luchot. Contemplate this.

The Breastplate was folded in half (108), and so its 2 halves contained dimensions that paralleled each half (108) of the Name as well as the luchot. Contemplate this.
Robe
The next vestment of the High Priest was the Robe, which was
made entirely out of turquoise wool (28:31) and was sleeveless. It was missing 2 sleeves, like the first set of 2 luchot that would be missing from the Earth. In 28:32, it
mentions the different instructions for the head opening of the Robe:
1) its head opening shall be
folded over within it,
2) its opening shall have a
border all around,
3) it shall be for it like
the opening of a coat of mail,
4) it may not be torn.
This is 4, but with the one
different (it being in the negative), and this is like
the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name (each with 4 letters), where one letter is derived differently (by subtraction) the result being in the negative (see the
post on Ki Thetze on the Sapphire
Magen David blog). This reflection is repeated in the next verse (28:33) where it
enumerates the materials for the hem of the Robe: Pomegranates of 1) turquoise wool, 2) purple wool,
3) scarlet wool, and 4) gold bells. This is again 4, like
the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name, which when combined, 1 letter is different (see above). In this verse we
have the word, “gold” and as it is
gematria 14, it is the polar opposite of the
last 14 in the Breastplate (seen above),
and when merged, corresponds to the 14
opposite 14 elements in a star tetrahedron, or Royal Seal.
In 28:34, it says, “a gold bell
and a pomegranate, a gold bell and a pomegranate,”
2 repeated twice,
like the 2 sets of luchot brought down twice. The word, “gold” is also repeated twice, and as it is gematria 14,
the 2 times it is mentioned corresponds to the 14 opposite 14 elements
in a star tetrahedron (Royal Seal). If we take the other words (besides “gold”) “a bell and a pomegranate” (פַּעֲמֹן וְרִמּוֹן), they have a combined gematria of 542. This
one-dimensional numeric string alludes to half, or 54 x
2 = 108, which is of course half the elements in the luchot (the specific geometry associated with the second dimension, corresponding to the 4 letters of Ekeyeh). (See the 8 Dimensions post on the Sapphire Magen David
blog.) Is this a coincidence? Not if we see the other half in the same verse! The verse repeats the same phrase twice, and
thus “a bell and a pomegranate,
a bell and a pomegranate,”
equals 542,
or 54 x 2 = 108 and another 542, or 54 x 2 = 108, which is 108 + 108 or 216. This is a precise reflection of the geometry in ccSpace216 (cube of creation) when it is divided in half, in two dimensions, where each half consists of 108 elements, the
total number being 216, which is the total number of cubic handbreadths in
the combined cubic form of the luchot and the number of letters in God’s
Explicit Name.
In 28:35, we are told that the sound of the bells must be
heard twice: 1) when [Aaron] enters, and 2) when
he leaves. Again 2 like the 2 luchot (and specifically the second tablet of the first set). In this verse we
again have the word, “Sanctuary” (קֹדֶשׁ) which is gematria 404, or the 4 0pposite 4 quadrants
of ccSpace216 when the luchot are divided in all
three dimensions.
On the Robe, there were 72
bells and 72 pomegranates. Each vestment of a
priest atoned for a different transgression, and the Robe was an atonement for
the transgression of lashon hara (slanderous speech). The punishment for
lashon hara was tzara’ath (see for example Parashah BeHa'alothekha, where Miriam contracts it), and there are 72 different types of tzara’ath. Thus the Robe
also contained the Signature, as the 72 bells +
72 pomegranates, which atoned for lashon
hara whose punishment was 72 types of tzara’ath,
is (3 x 72 = ) 216, the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name.
Headplate
The next vestment of the High Priest was the Headplate. In 28:36, it says, “You shall make a Headplate of pure
gold,”. The word, “Headplate” (צִּיץ)
is gematria 1,000, or a cubic reflection of the base-10 number system originating in the geometry of the luchot (30 elements of the hand, which is 10 x 3, while 1,000 is 10³). We see this take form in the 10 commandments, the 10 Utterances, and the 10 sefirot (three 10s). The word, “gold” is gematria 14
and (again as we've mentioned so many times) corresponds to the number of elements in a tetrahedron (we will see its
polar opposite below). The word, “pure” (as previously mentioned) is gematria 220, and as seen many
times before, corresponds to the 22 letters
that flowed from the cosmic blueprint times the 10 utterances that brought creation into existence using those letters. The verse
continues and says, “and you shall engrave upon it… “Holy To God”.” The
word, “Holy” (קֹדֶשׁ) is gematria 404, and alludes to
the 4 0pposite 4 nature of the letters in the abbreviations and the corresponding quadrants of ccSpace216.
The word “to,” which is the prefix of the word “God” (and is the
letter Lamed, ל) is gematria 30, a reflection of the measure (above) seen in the 10 commandments plus the 10 utterances plus the 10 sefirot (see the post on Terumah).
The word, “God” (here) is the actual Tetragrammaton with a gematria of 26. Thus the phrase, “Holy To God” is
gematria 460,
and this one-dimensional numeric string can be broken down to four 60s or 60 x 60 x 60 x 60 = 12,960,000, or sixty thousand times 216,
the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name. As seen in the posts on Metzora and BeHa’alothekha
on the Sapphire Magen David blog, when the (6 x
6 x 6 = ) 216 elements of the 3
dimensions of Space (of the cube of creation) are multiplied by the fourth dimension of Time allotted to man (6,(000)
years), the result is the number of arc seconds used to map out any coordinate on the planet. We see this 4th dimension a couple of times in Tetzaveh as well (to see additional allusions to the 4th dimension of Time, see such
posts as Lekh Lekha and VaYera on the Sapphire Magen David blog). The
phrase, “Holy To God” on the Headplate of the High Priest, corresponds to 60 x 60 x 60 x 60 (12,960,000) which is the measure of the earth in arc seconds, times 10, which is this iteration to the fourth dimension, where the 10 utterances over 6 days (60) brought 'time and space' into
existence (60 x 60 x 60 (space) x 60 (time) = the creation of time and space). One is different from the other three, like the marriage of the letters in the abbreviations (the same being true in quantum mechanics).
In 28:37, it mentions the 3 'places' that the Headplate shall be: 1) place it on a turquoise cord, 2) it shall
be on the Turban, and 3) opposite the front of
the Turban. This 3 is not only like the triad nature of the Name, but it is the missing 3 from several paragraphs above (in the section on the Breastplate). When it is combined with the other two 3s (found there), we have the 3rd dimension of 1 quadrant of "the Eight Dimensions" in the luchot, when divided in all three dimensions (3 x 3 x 3). Notice the word, “Turban”
(מִצְנֶפֶת) is mentioned twice,
like the 2 luchot (and the second tablet of the first set). It also has a
gematria of 660, and so the 2 times it is mentioned again hints to the 4th dimension of Time: 6 x 6 x 10 x 6 x 6 x 10 = 129,600, or 600 times 216, the number of letters in the Explicit Name (see
the post on BeHa’alothekha on the
Sapphire Magen David blog for an in-depth explanation).
In 28:38, we are told that the Headplate, “shall be on
Aaron’s forehead” to: 1) bring forgiveness for a sin, and 2) to bring them
favor before God. This is again 2, like the 2 luchot (and the second tablet
of the first set). In this verse we again see the word, “always” (תָּמִיד) which is gematria 454 or 4 x 54 = 216.
And finally the width of the Headplate was 2 fingers, again 2
like the 2 luchot (and the second tablet of the first set).
Other Vestments
The above 4 vestments of the
High Priest were explained in detail. They were the 'extra' 4 that only the High Priest wore. The other 4 are mentioned very sparsely. In 28:39, it says, “You
shall make a linen Tunic of a box-like knit.
You shall make a linen Turban and you shall
make a Sash”. These are 3 more vestments that are not detailed in
the verses of the Written Torah. There is of course 1
more vestment (the breeches) but those are mentioned along with the regular
priest’s vestments (that will be discussed below). These other 4 vestments of the High Priest are mentioned 3 together in one verse and one
later on. In other words, 1 is different from the other 3. The pattern again reflects the nature of the marriage between the letters of the abbreviations. If we were to
divide both
sets of luchot in the second dimension, we would also have 4 opposite 4. The way
the vestments are mentioned, is like both sets
of luchot: 4 are mentioned in detail, while 4 are mentioned only briefly. This is like the first set
of luchot which were only very briefly on this Earth,
until they shattered.
The second set of luchot survived. Their dimensions and the details associated with each, express the mathematic Signature of the Architect, as do the details pertaining to the 4 High Priest vestments. All of this must be contemplated as a function of the letters in the Name.
Turban
The Turban was mentioned
above in the section of the Headplate, as a reflection of the 4th dimension of Time (6 x 6 x 6 x 6). It was also a 16 cubit long piece of material that was then wrapped
around the head of a priest into a turban. 16
is the number of faces and points in the 4
smaller tetrahedrons created when 2
tetrahedrons merge to form a star tetrahedron (see the post on VaYigash on the Sapphire Magen David blog).
After Nadav and Avihu died, there were only 3
priests left officiating in the Mishkan. Thus the 3
Turbans that were each 16 cubits long, were a
total (16 x 3 =
) 48 cubits long, the same number of male prophets
whose prophecies are constant. The Turbans were also 576 small-finger-breadths
long, and the 3 Turbans were thus (576 x 3 = ) 1,728 small-finger-breadths long, or 8 x 216, the number
of letters in God’s Explicit Name times the number of quadrants (8) in ccSpace216. As each quadrant in ccSpace216 actually also contains 216 elements (see the Significant Numbers), the number 1,728 actually corresponds to the 216 elements in each of the 8 quadrants of ccSpace216. This is the total number of elements in the mini-matrices of 8cSpace27, and reflects the division of the parent matrix of ccSpace216. Like fractals, whether you zoom in or zoom out, the numbers are the same. The Turbans were also made out of linen (שֵׁשׁ), and as seen in the post on Terumah,
they were made out of 6 threads spun together.
The 6 threads of linen times the 576
small-finger-breadths long = 3,456, or 16 times 216, or the Signature times the number of cubits of the
Turban, and the same number of faces and points in the 4
smaller tetrahedrons created when 2
tetrahedrons merge to form a star tetrahedron (Royal Seal). All are a mathematic and/or geometric reflection of the Name and its specific attributes.
Tunic
The Tunic had a “box-like knit”, just like the luchot were square. The word, “Tunic” (כְּתֹנֶת) is gematria 870,
and this one-dimensional numeric string contains a few reflections. 870, corresponds to the 7s and 8s of
calendar related halachah (see the post on BeHar& BeChukothai on the Sapphire Magen David blog) times the 10 commandments that were on the luchot, which were square, and from which the halachah is based. 870 is also eight 70s. There just happen to be 70 elements in each of the eight stellations of a star tetrahedron after being sub-divided by its polar opposite (see the
post on VaYelekh and HaAzinu on the
Sapphire Magen David blog). The eight stellations of a star tetrahedron can be married together to create four complete Royal Seals that are half the size of the original. Two tetrahedrons, subdivided, with 70 opposite
70 elements, is one of the internal constructs (with its polar opposite) within the luchot (that were square).
Sash
The Sash was 32 cubits long, which
encircled the priests, corresponding to the Torah which starts with a Bet
(ב, with a gematria of 2, like the 2
luchot) and ends with a Lamed (ל, with a gematria of 30, the 10 commandments plus the 10 utterances plus the 10 sefirot). The Sash
atoned for sinful thoughts of the heart (לֵב), which is gematria 32. The Sash was also 4
fingers wide, and so the 32 cubit length of the Sash also corresponds to the 16 points plus 16
faces (32 elements) of the 4 smaller tetrahedrons created
when two tetrahedrons merge to create a star tetrahedron (see the post on VaYigash on the Sapphire Magen David blog).
The word, “Sash” (אַבְנֵט),
is gematria 62,
and this one-dimensional numeric string corresponds to the 2 luchot that had dimensions of 6 (handbreadths cubed), and also two 6s, or 6 x 6, the dimensions
of the luchot in the second dimension. The
word, “Sash” which is gematria 62, and the length of the Sash (32 cubits), thus contain a flattened one-dimensional reflection of the dimensions for the luchot: three 6s, or 6³ (6 x 6 x 6) handbreadths
times the 2 sets of 2
luchot, each with a volumetric measure of 216 cubic handbreadths.
Each Sash was 1,152 small-finger-breadths, and this is actually a numeric permutation of a multiple of the Signature (7 x 216 = 1,512; see the Significant Numbers). Since there
were 5 Preists (Aaron and his 4 sons), the total
length of the Sashes were (5 x 1,152 = ) 5,760, the number of eggs in a Mikvah, and the number
of shallow holes in the 8-simplices of the E8 lattice (see the post on Shemini and Tazria on the Sapphire Magen David
blog) all of which emanate (mathematically) from the number of letters in the Name.
Nadav and Avihu died the day after the inauguration ritual, and so there were only 3 priests left to do the service. Thus the total length of the Sashes in use were (3 x 1,152 = ) 3,456 (a nice numeric progression) small-finger-breadths, or 16 x 216, like we saw above in the dimensions of the Turbans. The Sashes were 4 fingers wide, and so they were each 768 thumb-breadths long by 4 wide, for a total of 3,072 thumb-breadths. This one-dimensional numeric string also hints to the Signature: 3 x 72 = 216, both in terms of its triad nature and the number of letters. Take the total number of thumb-breadths, times the 3 Sashes that were worn by Aaron, Elazar, and Ithamar, and you get (3 x 3,072 = ) 9,216, a reflection of the 9 triplets of the Name in any one dimension, with 216 letters total, in two dimensions.
We are told that the Sashes were 4 fingers wide, which by default means they were 1 handbreadth wide, for the usual way to measure is in thumb-breadths (see Terumah). But if we convert the measurements into small-finger-breadths, then each Sash was 6 small-finger-breadths wide. As seen above, the length of each Sash was 1,152 small-finger-breadths long, and so the total dimensions of each Sash were thus 6,912 small-finger-breadths, or 32 x 216, the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name. As seen above, the length of each Sash was 32 cubits, and it atoned for sins of the heart (32). Thus hidden from the casual observer, are the smaller measurements that are not usually used, but nevertheless contain the Signature: 216, 32 times.
Nadav and Avihu died the day after the inauguration ritual, and so there were only 3 priests left to do the service. Thus the total length of the Sashes in use were (3 x 1,152 = ) 3,456 (a nice numeric progression) small-finger-breadths, or 16 x 216, like we saw above in the dimensions of the Turbans. The Sashes were 4 fingers wide, and so they were each 768 thumb-breadths long by 4 wide, for a total of 3,072 thumb-breadths. This one-dimensional numeric string also hints to the Signature: 3 x 72 = 216, both in terms of its triad nature and the number of letters. Take the total number of thumb-breadths, times the 3 Sashes that were worn by Aaron, Elazar, and Ithamar, and you get (3 x 3,072 = ) 9,216, a reflection of the 9 triplets of the Name in any one dimension, with 216 letters total, in two dimensions.

Thus hidden from the casual observer, are the smaller measurements that are not usually used, but nevertheless contain the Signature: 216, 32 times.
In 28:40, we are told that the regular Priests had 3 vestments: 1) Tunics, 2) Sashes, and 3) Headdresses.
The 4th vestment is different from
the rest, as it is mentioned separately (see below). 4
with 1 different is like the marriage of the
abbreviations of the Name, where 1 couple of the
4 is different (not only was this reflection
seen in the remaining vestments of the High Priest, but also in the vestments
of the regular priests). This verse says that the Headdresses were, “for glory and splendor.” Or, 2 like the 2
luchot (and the second tablet of the first
set). The word, “splendor” (תִּפְאָרֶת) is gematria 1081, or 5 x 216 (= 1080) + 1, or the 216 handbreadths of the luchot, on which there were 5 commandments on 1
tablet. We saw this same reflection in the beginning of this post. It is mentioned twice (in this Parashah) for the full reflection. As mentioned in the beginning of this post, 1081 is
also a one-dimensional numeric string that corresponds to the 108 cubic handbreadths on 1
tablet of the luchot, opposite the 108 on the other 1. Together they correspond to the 108 cubic handbreadths on each
tablet, that when combined are (108 + 108 = ) 216 total
handbreadths in the combined cubic form of the luchot, the same number of
letters in God’s Explicit Name. Because there were 2 sets of 2 luchot (with a volumetric measure of 216 cubic handbreadths), this reflection is mentioned twice in this Parashah. Thus 1081 + 1081 = 2162, or 216 (the dimensions of the luchot) and 2 (times that the luchot were brought down).
In 28:41, it says, “you shall dress Aaron … and his sons”,
2 like the 2
luchot (and the second tablet of the first
set). The verse continues and says, “You shall anoint
them, inaugurate them, and sanctify them, and they shall minister to Me.” Or they got 3
done to them and they did 1, or 4 with one different, again like the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name. The phrase, “and they
shall minister to Me” (וְכִהֲנוּ-לִי) is seen here again, and if you remember, there were 3 together above in the beginning of the Parashah.
Again the phrase is mentioned specifically 4
times but with one different (the one here),
like the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name. Like we saw above, there is
an “extra” vav in this phrase. And this adds the 4th dimension of Time to the 3 dimensions of Space. As vav is gematria 6, the 4 “extra” vavs
are 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 (spatial
dimensions of the “cube”) x 6 (4th dimension of Time) = 1,296, the Mispar Katan (see the posts on Terumah and VaYechi)
of the number of arc seconds used to map the coordinates of the planet.
Breeches
In 28:42, the 4th vestment (which is mentioned separately from the rest) is the linen breeches.
They correspond to the 1 letter that is
different in the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name (see the others
above). The word, “breeches” (מִכְנָסַיִם) is gematria 220, which corresponds
to the 22 letters that flowed from the cosmic
blueprint times the 10 utterances that used
those letters to form creation. The breeches were made out of linen (בָּד) which is gematria 6, like the measure of the first dimension of the luchot (6 handbreadths). The breeches were made out of 6 threads
of linen, which is the measure of the luchot in the second dimension (6 x 6 handbreadths) and at the
start of the service in the Mishkan, there were actually 6 pairs of breeches made: For Aaron and his 4 sons,
but there was another made for Moshe, as he did the entire service for the 7
days of the Inauguration (see below). Thus, we find the third
6, or the measure of the third dimension of the luchot, where all three dimensions result in its volumetric measure: 6 x 6 x 6 = 216, the number of cubic handbreadths in the combined cubic
form of the luchot, and the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name.
The verse (28:42) tells us that the breeches are
[specifically] from the hips to the thighs, or 2 like the
2 luchot (and the second
tablet of the first set).
The section of the vestments ends with a verse that contains
the elements of ccSpace216, from which all the measurements
of the vestments were designed. In 28:43, it says:
“They shall be on Aaron and
his sons, (2)
when they enter
the Tent of Meeting
...or when they approach the Altar (2)
...or when they approach the Altar (2)
and they should
not bear sin and die (2);
it is an eternal decree for him and his offspring after
him (2).
This 2 and 2 opposite 2 and 2 is like the 4 opposite 4 quadrants of all 8 quadrants of ccSpace216, that are defined by the 4 letters of the Tetragrammaton opposite the 4 letters of the Havayah of Adnoot.
Inauguration Ritual
After the firstborns lost their right to officiate in the
Mishkan and Temple
service (see Parashah Ki Thisa), the Priests, who merited this honor, had to be
inaugurated for this office. In 29:1, it says, “Take 1 young bull and 2 rams”, or 3 animals, like the triad
nature of the Name. Also, each are specifically 2-horned
animals, and thus together they have 6 horns,
like the dimensions of the luchot (6
handbreadths cubed) (see the post on Terumah for other horned animals).
In 29:2, there are 3 types of
food: 1) unleavened breads 2) unleavened loaves, and 3) unleavened wafers.
These were each mixed or smeared with oil, or 2
different applications of oil, like the 2
luchot (and second tablet on the first set).
There were 3 bread types and 3 animals, like any two dimensions of 1 quadrant within ccSpace216 (3
x 3). The breads were made out of, “fine
wheat flour”, and the word, “wheat” (חִטִּים)
is gematria 627. This one-dimensional numeric string corresponds to the three dimensions of the
luchot (6 handreadths cubed) which contain the eight quadrants of ccSpace216, each of which is 27 elements. Note that this is a significant fractional proportion of 827 (8cSpace27). Specifically, the portion that corresponds to the 3 couples/pairs (6 letters) where one "pair" (2 letters) is different (shown in the 8cSpace27 graphic above). This wheat by the way, was Emmer
Wheat, which had 28 chromosomes (14 opposite 14
male/female), like the 28 elements in a star
tetrahedron, the Royal Seal. Is it any wonder that bread has its own bracha (blessing)?
In 29:3, it says, “You shall place them in a single basket”, thus the 3
types of bread were placed in 1 basket, like the
marriage of the abbreviations of the Name, where 1
letter is different than the other 3. The verse
continues and says, “and bring them near in the basket,
with the bull and the two
rams.” Or again, 4 with one different (the basket which is not an animal) corresponding to the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name. The
word, “basket” (סַל) is gematria 90,
and in Mispar Katan is 9, like the 9 triplets of the
Name. Thus in this verse we have the 3 animals,
which as we saw above was like the first dimension of 1 quadrant of ccSpace216. Then, inside the basket were 3 types of bread, or the next dimension of 1 quadrant
of ccSpace216. And the basket is gematria 9 (in Mispar Katan) and this is the third dimension of
1 quadrant of ccSpace216 (3
by 3 by 3). This geometry in the linguistic structure of the text is a reflection of the internal physical geometry of the luchot, which is "defined" by the 216 letters. In other words, the patterns in the text are a function of the physical nature of the luchot. The “single basket” is also 1 basket (סַל; gematria 90), or 1 + 90 = 91, the gematria of the Tetragrammaton (26) and the Havayah of Adnoot (65), two of the primary abbreviations of the Name that correspond to the division of the quadrants of the luchot in all 8 dimensions of ccSpace216.
In 29:4, Moshe is instructed to bring near 2: 1) Aaron, and 2) his sons. This is again 2 like the 2 luchot
(and more specifically the second tablet of the
first set).
In 29:5, Moshe is to do 2
actions: 1) take the vestments, and 2) dress Aaron. Again 2 like the 2 luchot
(and more specifically the second tablet of the
first set). Moshe is to dress Aaron with: 1) the Tunic, 2) the Robe of the
Ephod, 3) the Ephod, 4) the Breastplate, and 5) girdle him with the belt of the
Ephod. This is 5 like the 5 internal and external constructs within the luchot.
In 29:6 Moshe is to do 2
more things: 1) place the Turban on his head,
and 2) place the crown of sanctity [the Headplate] over the Turban. This is yet again 2
like the 2 luchot (and more specifically the second tablet of the first set). Also notice the
word, “Turban” (מִצְנֶפֶת) is mentioned twice,
like the (other) 2 luchot (and the second tablet of the first set), and as it is
gematria 660, the 2
times it is mentioned again hint to the 4th dimension of Time: 6 x 6
x 10 x 6 x 6 x
10 = 129,600, or 600 times 216, the
number of letters in God’s Explicit Name (see above). The word, “sanctity”
(קֹדֶשׁ) is gematria 404, alluding to the 4 0pposite
4 quadrants of ccSpace216.
In 29:7, Moshe is instructed to take the anointment oil and
do 2 things: 1) pour it on his head, and 2) anoint
him. This is yet again 2 like the 2 luchot (and more specifically the second tablet of the first set). The words, “anointment
oil” (שֶׁמֶן הַמִּשְׁחָה) is gematria 748, a one-dimensional mathematic expression that correlates with the 7
female prophetesses and the 48 male prophets that
were of course “anointed with this oil” by God to bring His message to the people throughout the
generations.
In 29:8-9, Moshe is instructed to dress Aaron’s sons in: 1)
Tunics, 2) girdle them with a Sash, and 3) wrap Headdresses on them. The 4th vestment of the regular Priest, the
breeches, they were already wearing, and so again one is different from the other three (present but not
mentioned) like the marriage of
the abbreviations of the Name.
In 29:9, it says, “You shall girdle them with a Sash – Aaron and his sons … and
you shall inaugurate Aaron and his sons.” Or 2 and 2, like the 4
quadrants of the luchot (divided in the second dimension) which correspond
to the 4 letters of Ekeyeh. Moshe is also
instructed here to girdle Aaron and his sons
with a Sash, and to, “wrap the Headdresses
on them [Aaron’s sons].” Another 2 actions
like the 2 luchot (and the second tablet of the first set). The word, “Headdresses”
(מִגְבָּעֹת) is gematria 515, or the 5 opposite 5
commandments on the 1 combined cubic form of
the luchot. In this verse it also mentions the word, “hand” (יַד) twice, and it is gematria 14. The 2 times יַד is mentioned, reflects the geometry of the Royal Seal with 14 elements opposite 14 elements in the 2 tetrahedrons that form the star tetrahedron.
In 29:10, there are 2
actions mentioned: 1) Moshe is to bring the bull near, and 2) Aaron and sons are
to lean their hands upon the head of the bull. These 2
actions are again like the 2 luchot (and the second tablet of the first set). The word, “and lean”
(וְסָמַךְ) is gematria 606, which is a subtle one-dimensional reflection of the first two dimensions of the luchot (6 x 6).
The priests would lean (606) their hands on the head of the bull, and their
hands were 5 opposite 5 (fingers). See the post on Mishpatim that explains how the combined cubic form of the luchot in handbreadths are "measured" by the relationship between 5 elements of the hand and the 6 handbreadths of the cube. Aaron and his
4 sons do Semichah (the leaning) which involves both hands. As we saw above, the word, “hand” (יַד) is gematria 14, and thus both hands together correspond to the 14 opposite 14 elements
in the star tetrahedron which is found within the cube. This was done 5 times (by
Aaron and each of his 4 sons) and so the Royal Seal geometrically appears 5 times in the requirements.
In 29:12, the blood is divided in 2:
1) some is placed on the horns of the altar, and 2) the rest is poured on the
base. Again 2 like the 2
luchot (and the second tablet of the first
set). In this verse (29:12), we are told that the Copper
Altar had a Base (see the post on Terumah).
The word, “base” (יְסוֹד) is gematria 80, alluding to the transcendent
level of halachah (8). In the Temple , excess blood was poured down a pipe
in the Base. This pipe ran to a canal that flowed out of the Courtyard and through
Jerusalem , eventually reaching the Kidron Valley Temple Treasury
In 29:13, it says, “You shall take all the fat that covers the innards, the diaphragm with the liver,
the 2 kidneys, and the fat
that is upon them;” or 6 parts, like
the dimensions of the luchot that were 6
handbreadths (cubed). The word, “diaphragm” (יֹתֶרֶת)
is gematria 1010
(a familiar ratio in the 10 sayings of creation and those of destruction, as in the 10 plagues). It finds its mathematic origin in the 10
internal (5 opposite 5) and 10 external (5 opposite 5) constructs within the
combined cubic form of the luchot. The word, “liver” (כָּבֵד) is gematria 26, the same
gematria as the Tetragrammaton.
In 29:14, Moshe is instructed to burn 3 things in a fire outside the camp: 1) the flesh of
the bull, 2) its hide, and 3) its waste. The 3
are a function of the triad nature of the Name, and the
measure of any given dimension for each of the eight dimensions in ccSpace216 (3 x 3 x 3 times 8)
In 29:15, Moshe is instructed to, “take the first ram”, and Aaron and his sons are to again “...lean their hands on the head of
the ram.” The 2 things required are like the 2 luchot (and specifically the second
tablet of the first set). The process of leaning with both hands (14 opposite 14) is again a reflection of the Royal Seal five times (see above).
In 29:17, it says, “You shall cut
the ram into pieces” (divide it up), then, “wash
its innards and feet,” (2) and then, “place [them] with its pieces and its head.” (2) The repetitions of two in the linguistic structure (2 and 2) are like the 4 letters of the Havayah of Ekeyeh that is mirrored
in the luchot when divided in the second
dimension: it has 2 opposite 2 quadrants (each set of luchot were also divided into 2). The
word, “pieces” (נְתָחָיו) is gematria 474, which is a
one-dimensional numeric string that corresponds to all 3 primary abbreviations
of the Name (see the post on VaYishlach
on the Sapphire Magen David blog for the explanation).
In 29:18, it says, “it is a burnt-offering
to God, it is a satisfying aroma, a fire-offering to God.” The linguistic structure again relates the information in a triple form like the triad nature of the Name.
In 29:19, the procedure for the second ram is the same as
the first ram and the bull. The 2
actions are again like the 2 luchot (and the second tablet of the first set). The
process of leaning with both hands (14 opposite 14) applies and the Royal Seal is found again in the requirements (five
times, see above).
In 29:20, Moshe is instructed to take some of the second
ram’s blood, and place it on the middle part of the right ear of Aaron and his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot. In other words, the blood was put on 3
places and specifically 3 (on the high
priest) opposite 3 (on the regular priests). The numbers and sets of numbers are like the three dimensions of one quadrant (of 8) in ccSpace216
(3 x 3 x 3).
In 29:21, Moshe is instructed to:
1) take some of the blood and
some of the anointing oil (2), and
2) sprinkle [it] on Aaron and his
vestments (2), and
3) on his sons and their
vestments (2), and thus
4) he and his vestments (2), and
5) his sons and his sons’
vestments (2) shall become holy.
The linguistic structure of this segment depicts the geometry of the luchot from which the requirements originate. The syntax consists of 5 twos (5 things paired) or 5 opposite 5 like the 10 commandments on the 2 luchot, or the 5 opposite 5 in the geometry of the internal constructs within the 2 luchot. Notice 1 pair is different than the others, just like the internal constructs (the tetrahedrons) and external constructs (last commandments on each tablet; see the post on Yitro). The geometric parallel between the text and the luchot is quite remarkable.

The geometric parallel between the text and the luchot is quite remarkable.
In 29:19-21, the blood was put on them,
on the Altar, and then sprinkled (with the anointment
oil) on them and their vestments,
or 4 times was the blood sprinkled. Note that one (of the 4) was different from the other three (the Altar) like the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name,
where one couple was different from the other three couples.
In 29:22, it says, “From the ram you shall take
1) the fat,
2) the tail,
3) the fat the covers the
innards,
4) the diaphragm with
5) the liver,
6 & 7) the two kidneys, and
8) the fat that is on them,
and
9) the right thigh.”
The 9 different parts of the
ram are actually 3 and 3
and 3, as the 2 kidneys and the fat that is on
them is one group of 3; the diaphragm 'with' the
liver is two and the fat the covers the innards makes 3 (we had these before); and then 3 additional individual but distinct items: the fat, the tail, and the right
thigh. These three categories with three items are like the measure of any given quadrant among the eight dimensions of the luchot (divided in all three dimensions: 3 x 3 x 3). This is
also a familiar fractal, in the 3 within 3 within 3 that characterizes what is called the Sierpinski Gasket (shown in the graphic on the VaEra post) but it must be emphasized that the progression is specifically a function of the internal geometry of the cube of creation, in the form of the star tetrahedron (three-dimensional magen david) that is simply part of an eternal equation originating with the triad nature of the letters in the Name. In this case it is taken to the third iteration like the three-dimensional magen david that provides the fundamental framework for the requirement.
In the next verse (29:23) Moshe is instructed to take “1 cake of bread, 1 oily
loaf, and 1 wafer from the basket of unleavened
loaves”. Notice we have yet another 3 things, and another iteration of the fractal chain: 3 within 3 within 3 with another 3 (see the third iteration of the Sierpinski Gasket
in the graphic on the VaEra post). At this level, the 72 small triangular corners (216) of the star tetrahedron materialize. Coincidence? The words “and a loaf” (וְחַלַּת) appear in the text, with a gematria 444. The two tetrahedrons in the Royal Seal that reveal these 72 triangular corners, are each characterized by 4 faces, 4 points and 4 quadrants that are geometric reflections (within the blueprint for creation) of the three 4-letter abbreviations of the Name (of the Architect that designed this creation).
The word, “bread” (לֶחֶם) (in the above verse) is gematria 78, and as seen on the posts on BeShalach and Terumah, it corresponds to both the regular and the transcendent levels of calendar related halachah.
The word, “bread” (לֶחֶם) (in the above verse) is gematria 78, and as seen on the posts on BeShalach and Terumah, it corresponds to both the regular and the transcendent levels of calendar related halachah.
In 29:24, Moshe is instructed to, “place it all on the
palms of Aaron” and so the 9 parts of the
animal and the 3 different loaves together equal
(9 + 3 = ) 12 items, like the 12
tribes, and 12 letters of the Tri-Tetra-Grammaton. It is therefore another reflection of the fractal set that was just mentioned, wherein the Signature of the Architect is again hidden.
Moshe is to place it all on, “the palms of Aaron and the palms of his sons,” or 2 and 2 like the two luchot (twice) (and the second tablet of the first set). The 2 times the word, “palms” (כַּפֵּי) is mentioned, is gematria 220, like the 22 letters that flowed from the cosmic blueprint times the 10 utterances that used those letters to form creation. In this same verse, we are told that Moshe and Aaron performed Tenufah (the waving), which was a procedure as follows: The items were placed in Aaron’s hands, and then Moshe put his hands underneath, and then they waved the items front and back (2), and up and down (2). The 4 ways that it was waved replicates the same pattern as the linguistic structure of the text, and so we again see two, twice, like the luchot. The 4 directions also mirror the 4 letters of the Tetragrammaton (half of the quadrants in ccSpace216; we will see the other half in a moment).

The 4 directions also mirror the 4 letters of the Tetragrammaton (half of the quadrants in ccSpace216; we will see the other half in a moment).
In 29:25, it says, “as a satisfying
aroma before God, it is a fire-offering
to God,” or again two (twice) like the luchot (and the second tablet
of the first set).
In 29:26, we are told that Tenufah is also performed
with the breast of the inauguration ram, and so the 4
directions that it was waved (front and back (2)
and up and down (2)) also corresponds to the 4 letters of the Havayah of Adnoot, which is (the other) half of the quadrants of ccSpace216 that we spoke of above.
In 29:27, it says, “You shall sanctify from the breast of the waving and the thigh (the implication of 2) of the raising up (2), that was waved and raised up
(2), from the inauguration ram that was for Aaron and for his sons (2).” This unusual syntax hides several allusions. There are specifically 3 twos while another are implied, like the ratio in the marriage of the abbreviations. The 3 specific twos are like the 1D dimensions of the combined cubic form of the luchot: (2 + 2 + 2 = ) 6 (handbreadths), and in the above verse the other 2 (dimensions: 6 x 6) are implied (see the Significant Numbers for the meaning of 3 twos).
In 29:28, it says, “It shall be for Aaron and his sons (2) … for it is a
portion and it shall remain a portion (2)” or essentially 2 and 2, like the quadrants in the luchot when they are
divided in the second dimension (corresponding to the 4 letters of Ekeyeh). In this
verse is the word, “decree” (חָק) which is gematria 108, half of 216. This corresponds to our Parashah (Tetzaveh) and it is why we've asserted that all of these patterns are like mathematic reflections of the second tablet of the first set, that had 108 cubic handbreadths, or half
of the 216.
In 29:29, it says, “to become elevated
through them, to become inaugurated through
them,” or again two things (twice) like the 2 luchot brought down (although here again we're on the second
tablet of the first set).
In 29:30, the Succession of the High Priesthood was instated
by the next High Priest donning the holy vestments “for a 7 day period”. This was the actual calendar related
halachah (7).
In 29:32, it says, “Aaron and
his sons (2) shall eat the flesh of
the ram and the bread that is in the basket
(2)” or 2 and 2 like the number of quadrants in half of the luchot when divided in all 3 dimensions
that correspond to the 4 letters of the
Tetragrammaton (we will see the other half below).
In 29:33, it says, “They – who received
atonement through them, to inaugurate them, to sanctify
them – shall eat them;” or 4 things where 1 is different from the other 3, like
the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name.
In 29:34, we are told what happens to leftovers: any
leftovers of the meat or bread (2); burn
the leftovers; it may not be eaten (2). This is 2 and 2 like the number of quadrants in (the other) half of the luchot when divided in all 3 dimensions
that correspond to the 4 letters of the Havayah
of Adnoot.
In 29:35, it says, “You shall do thus for Aaron and his sons,”
again 2 like the 2
luchot (and the second tablet of the first
set). The verse continues and says, “for a 7
day period shall you inaugurate them.” This is the 7
days of the Inauguration that Moshe performed at the start of the service in
the Mishkan. It was for 7 days, and was actual
calendar related halachah. 7 is also the
number of elements in a 2D shadow of a star tetrahedron (see the post on Yitro), and the 7
days that Moshe performed the Inauguration Ritual, would be opposite any other
time a new High Priest was inaugurated (see the previous 7 above). The two references 'merge' to create the magen
david, the 2D shadow (7 opposite 7) of a star tetrahedron, the Royal Seal. In this
same verse is the word, “you” (אֹתָכָה) which is gematria
426, and this
one-dimensional numeric string hints to the Tetragrammaton (26), that has 4
letters corresponding to 4 quadrants of ccSpace216 (opposite the 4 of the Havayah of Adnoot; see the next verse below).
In the next verse (29:36) it says, “you shall purify the Altar by bringing
atonement for it and you shall anoint it
to sanctify it.” Or 2 for 2, like the (other) 4 quadrants of ccSpace216,
that correspond to the 4 letters of the Havayah
of Adnoot. In this verse we are told that a bull sin-offering was brought each
of the 7 days.
In 29:37, it again mentions, “for a 7 day period” and this opposite the 7 in the previous verse is 7
opposite 7, the number of elements in a 2D
shadow of a star tetrahedron, the Royal Seal. The 7
in the previous verse is not mentioned explicitly (it just says, “for each
day”), and thus 7 is mentioned explicitly
in the verses only 3 times. This is like the
matrix of 7 that has (7
x 7 x 7 = ) 343 elements that contain 216
points in between the 343 letters (see the post
on BeShalach). In this same verse it
mentions, “holy of holies” which as seen in the post on Terumah, is gematria 404 and 454, corresponding to the 4 0pposite
4 quadrants of ccSpace216
(the luchot divided in all 3 dimensions that correspond to the 4 letters of the Tetragrammaton opposite the 4 letters
of the Havayah of Adnoot), and the 4 x 54 = 216 (the
luchot divided in the second dimension which correspond to the 4 letters of Ekeyeh), and thus correlate with all 3 of the primary
abbreviations of the Name. And finally, in the same verse is the word, “shall
become sanctified” (יִקְדָּשׁ) which is gematria 414. This one-dimensional
numeric string alludes to the four 14s or 14 opposite 14 twice, the number
of elements in a star tetrahedron, which is one of the internal constructs in
the luchot. It is mentioned twice. There
were 2 sets of luchot. The Royal Seal
appears twice.
The Tamid-offering
In Parashah Tetzaveh, we are told about the Tamid-offering (continual-offering) which was offered twice daily. This was practiced for roughly 1,300 years.
In 29:38, we are told the specifications of the animals of
the Tamid-offering: “2 sheep within their first year”. So they are 2
that are each within 1 year, like the 2 luchot that are each 1
tablet. The Tamid-offering was offered every day, and thus a memory of the
luchot was kept every day. They were offered, “continually” (תָּמִיד) which is gematria 454, and as seen above, this hints to the 4 x 54 = 216, the Signature in the form of the quadrants of the
luchot divided in the second dimension which corresponds to the 4 letters of Ekeyeh. 6
priests would carry the sacrificial parts of the Tamid, like the dimensions of
the luchot (6 handbreadths cubed).
In 29:39, we are told that one sheep was offered in the
morning and the second in the afternoon. Thus the 2
were divided, like the luchot were divided into 2
tablets.
In 29:40, we are told what else was part of the
Tamid-offering: “a tenth-ephah of fine flour, mixed with a quarter-hin of
beaten oil, and a libation of a quarter-hin of wine”. As seen on the post
on BeShalach, a tenth-ephah is
actually an omer. As seen there, an omer is 43.2 eggs, or a fifth of
the Name (216). If you remember from the post on
Mishpatim, when dividing the number
of letters in the Name in sixths, all were
whole numbers, except for a fifth. The fifth is a fraction, which happens to be a 10th of 216
x 2 (432) (see
there for the connection between the Signature, the luchot, and these numbers).
As seen in the Essential Construct Eggs and Olives on the Sapphire Magen David blog, a quarter-hin is 108 drams, a number that is half
of 216. For the Tamid-offering, there was a
quarter-hin of oil (108 drams) and a
quarter-hin of wine (108 drams), and so the
liquid measure was 108 (drams of oil) + 108 (drams of wine) = 216
total drams of liquid, the same number of letters in God’s Explicit Name. The
word, “quarter” (רֶבַע) is gematria 272, and this one-dimensional numeric string
corresponds to 27 two
times, which as you know, 2 quadrants of
ccSpace216 have a total of (27 x 2 = ) 54 elements, or a quarter of 216. In other words, the gematria for the word “quarter” is exactly one quarter of the cubic handbreadths in the combined cubic form of the luchot, or the letters of the Name that define ccSpace216 (cube of creation) just as the requirement for one quarter hin twice a day which equals 216 drams. Coincidence? Not hardly! The nature of the gematria of the letters and the words and the amounts required are all a function of the geometry and the measure of the cube that was divided and brought down by Moshe. The words, “hin of wine” (הַהִין יָיִן) by the way, has a gematria of 70, and so twice a day, the gematria becomes 70 in the morning opposite 70 in the afternoon. The Royal Seal is hidden here as well. The post on VaYelekh and HaAzinu at the Sapphire Magen
David blog, explains how the marriage of two tetrahedrons results in 70 elements (faces, points and lines). Thus the 70 opposite 70 reflects the nature of 2 tetrahedrons that when merged have 72 triangular corners and reflect the Signature and the Royal Seal.
There were 4 items that were offered for the Tamid-offering: 1) the animal, 2) flour, 3) oil, and 4) wine. The one animal is different from the other three. Different parts of the animal are used in different ways, whereas only the exact measures of the flour, oil, and wine were used. This corresponds to the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name, where of the 4 couples, one is different from the other three.

This corresponds to the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name, where of the 4 couples, one is different from the other three.
In 29:41, we are told that the second sheep also had the
meal-offering and the libation, and so these 2
accompanied the morning offering and afternoon offering. Thus
accompanying each sheep was a meal-offering and
libation, and so there were 2 (in the morning) and 2
(in the afternoon) that were offered, like two sets of
luchot twice, a reflection of the 4 quadrants (2 opposite 2) of the luchot divided in the second
dimension which corresponds to the 4
letters of Ekeyeh. In the same verse we are told the offering was, “for a satisfying aroma, a fire-offering
to God;” or 2 like the 2 luchot (and the second
tablet of the first set).
In 29:42, we again have the word, “continually” (תָּמִיד) which is gematria 454, like the 4 quadrants in the blueprint with 54 elements, totaling 216. It is mentioned twice in the portion of the Tamid-offering (two times 4 x 54), for there were two sets of two luchot, each with 4 x 54 cubic handbreadths.
In 29:43, God says, “I shall set
My meeting there…, and it shall be sanctified
with My glory,” linguistically 2 like the 2 luchot (and the second
tablet of the first set).
In 29:44, God continues and says, “I shall sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the Altar;
and Aaron and his sons
shall I sanctify,” again 2 (things) and 2 (people) like the opposing quadrants in the luchot when divided in the two dimensions (correspond to the 4 letters of Ekeyeh).
And in 29:45, it says, “I shall rest
My Presence among the Children of Israel
The duplicate syntax in each of the above cases, always two things twice, conforms to the nature of the blueprint that in turn conforms to the nature of the letters in the Architect's Name.
The duplicate syntax in each of the above cases, always two things twice, conforms to the nature of the blueprint that in turn conforms to the nature of the letters in the Architect's Name.
The Golden Altar
In Parashah Tetzaveh is the description of another of the
vessels of the Mishkan; i.e. the Golden
Altar. In 30:1, we are told that the Golden Altar was made of, “acacia wood” (עֲצֵי שִׁטִּים) which as
seen in the post on Terumah, is
gematria 1089,
or 5 x 216 (= 1080) plus 9, or the 9 triplets of the Name
and the 9 elements in 2 dimensions of 1 quadrant
of ccSpace216 (see the Essential Construct 8 Dimensions on the Sapphire Magen David
blog).
In 30:2, we are told its dimensions: “Its length a cubit;
its width a cubit – it shall be square – and its height 2 cubits;”. See the
corresponding post on Tetzaveh on the
Sapphire Magen David blog for information on the dimensions of the Golden Altar
(e.g. the hypercube). But here, we will mention firstly, that the word, “square” (רָבוּעַ) is gematria 278, and this
one-dimensional numeric string corresponds to the ultimate “square” which was actually a cube in 3 dimensions. Moreover, as
seen in Part I of the Essential Construct 8 Dimensions on the Sapphire Magen David blog, there are 8 quadrants each with 27
elements in ccSpace216, the internal elements of the
“cube of creation” (which in 2D is a square).
The word, “square” (רָבוּעַ) is also made up of 4 letters,
just like a square has 4
sides and 4 points. The Golden Altar was
actually measured using the Small Cubit, which as seen in the post on Parashah Terumah, was only 5
handbreadths. Thus the dimensions of the Golden Altar were 5 handbreadths long by 5
handbreadths wide, like the 5 opposite 5 commandments on the luchot. The Golden Altar was
also 10 handbreadths tall, like the 10 internal constructs within the luchot. The Golden Altar’s total dimensions were thus (5 x 5 x 10 = ) 250 handbreadths (this geometrically equates to two cubes that are 5 x 5 x 5). The hypercube (see the corresponding post on Tetzaveh on the Sapphire Magen David blog) of 5 x 5 x 5, parallels the prime “cube”, the “cube of creation” that had dimensions of 6 x 6 x 6 handbreadths. Each of the (8) quadrants in ccSpace216, though they have dimensions of 3 x 3 x 3, each subdivide into mini-matrices of 216 elements each. Thus each mini-matrix also has dimensions of 6 x 6 x 6. As will be seen below, the Golden Altar corresponds to the quadrants that are “1 different” of the 4, like the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name. So the 2 quadrants that are different (that can be seen in the above graphic entitled 8cSpace27), can be mathematically represented as a hypercube of 6 x 6 x 6. See the post on Mishpatim for some of the luchot’s and Signature’s special relationship of 5 to 6. The hypercubes of the Golden Altar (5³) and the 2 quadrants that are different in ccSpace216 (6³), are another facet of the 5 to 6 relationship. The Golden Altar’s total dimensions were 250 handbreadths, and this shines a light on another instance (see other’s below) involving improper incense. There were 250 men that were part of Korach’s rebellion (see the post on Korach on the Sapphire Magen David blog), and they tried to bring incense (the function of the Golden Altar). To see more of the significance of this number, we must convert the Golden Altar’s dimensions to the smaller measurements, like we did in Terumah. The Golden Altar was also 30
small-finger-breadths long, by 30 small-finger-breadths wide, by 60 small-finger-breadths high. As seen in the post on Terumah (and above), 30 corresponds to the 10
commandments plus the 10 utterances plus the 10 sefirot. See the post on BeHa’alothekha on the Sapphire Magen David blog for the meaning
of 60. The total dimensions of the Golden Altar
were then (30 x 30 x 60 = ) 54,000
small-finger-breadths, or 250 (the dimensions of the Golden Altar in handbreadths) times 216, the number of letters
in the Explicit Name. This number 54,000 (or 250 x 216), is the same amount of drams of incense that Elazar was required to transport (see the post on Korach on the Sapphire Magen David blog). The Golden Altar was also known as the Incense Altar, and the amount of incense (54,000 drams) was the same number of the Altar’s dimensions in small-finger-breadths (250 times the Signature, 216).
In this same verse we are told that the Golden Altar had horns. These horns were similar
to the horns of the Copper Altar (discussed in the
post on Terumah). Each horn was a cubit cubed, and as
they were of the Small Cubit, they were each 5
handbreadths cubed, like the 5 internal
constructs. They were also 30 small-finger-breadths
cubed, corresponding to the 10 commandments plus
the 10 utterances plus the 10 sefirot. Since there were 4
horns (1 on each corner), the dimensions of each horn was 30 x 30 x 30 = 27,000
small-finger-breadths, x 4 horns = 108,000 small-finger-breadths for the total dimensions. This is like half the quadrants in ccSpace216
(times a thousand; 10 commandments x 10 utterances x 10 sefirot), and they were opposite the same dimensions of the 4 horns of the Copper
Altar (seen in the post on Terumah).
As seen there, the total dimensions of the 4
horns of the Copper Altar were also 108,000 small-finger-breadths, and thus the 2 Altars had 8 horns
which each had total dimensions of 108,000
small-finger-breadths, and thus the combined dimensions were 108,000 + 108,000 = 216,000 small-finger-breadths, the same number of
handbreadths (times a thousand) in the combined cubic form of the 2 luchot, which divide into the 8 quadrants of ccSpace216.
In the same verse (30:2) there is a bright reflection of the
Signature: the word, “its width” (which is a specific measure) is gematria 216,
the same number of letters in God’s Explicit Name.
In 30:3, it says, “You shall cover it with pure gold, its
roof and its walls
all around, and its horns, and you shall make
for it a gold crown, all around.” 3 parts of
the Golden Altar were thus covered in gold: 1) its roof, 2) its walls, and 3)
its horns. There is actually a dispute whether the base was covered in gold.
But the verse mentions a fourth thing that was gold: the gold crown that was on the top rim of the Golden Altar.
Thus there were 4 that were covered in gold,
with 1 different (the crown). The ratio conforms to the ratio of the marriage
of the abbreviations of the Name, where of the 4
pairs of letters, 1 pair is different from the other 3. The word, “gold” (זָהָב) is mentioned twice in this verse. Why twice? It's gematria 14,
like the number of elements in a tetrahedron. It is mentioned twice. It takes the 14 elements of one tetrahedron, opposite the 14 elements of the other to create a star tetrahedron with 72 triangular corners to reflect the full Signature of the Architect. The word, “pure” (טָהוֹר) is gematria 220, and corresponds to the (pure) 22 letters that flowed from the cosmic blueprint
times the 10 utterances which used those letters
to form creation (which was totally pure in its primordial form). The word, “its
roof” (גַּגּוֹ) is gematria 12,
like the number of letters in the Tri-Tetra-Grammaton which is the root of creation (physically manifested in the 12 Tribes). The word,
“its walls” (קִירֹתָיו) is gematria 726, and this one-dimensional numeric string
alludes to "the measure" of the two sets of luchot, brought down twice (72 x 6
= 432), or 2 x 216, the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name and the number of handbreadths in (both sets of) luchot. “its walls” (726, or 72 x 6 = 432) of course created its total dimensions of a hypercube of 5 x 5 x 5 (see above), which paralleled the hypercube of the luchot (specifically the 2 quadrants that were different from the others), which would have total dimensions of 432 (2 x 216). Its walls (432) together with its roof (12), is (432 + 12 = ) 444, a number that hints to all 3 primary abbreviations of the Name that each have 4 letters, and are mirrored in the luchot's multiple divisions in ccSpace216.
In 30:4, it says, “You shall make for it 2 gold rings … on its 2
corners, you shall make on its 2 sides;”.
This is 3 twos,
and as seen above, this corresponds to the 1D dimensions of the combined cubic form of the luchot: (2 + 2 + 2 = ) 6 (handbreadths) (see the Significant Numbers for the meaning of 3 twos). This is the second mention of 3 twos in this Parashah, and so at this point, we have 2D dimensions of the luchot reflected, for 3 twos two times is: (2 + 2 + 2 = ) 6 and (2 + 2 + 2 = ) 6, or 6 x 6, the 2D dimensions of the luchot. (We will find the third dimension below.)
In 30:4-5, we are told that the Golden Altar had 2 staves to carry it (like the 2 luchot, and the second
tablet of the first set). They were made out of, “acacia wood” (עֲצֵי שִׁטִּים) which as
seen above, is gematria 1089, or 5 x 216 (= 1080) plus 9, or the 9 triplets of the Name and the 9
elements in 2 dimensions of 1 quadrant of ccSpace216
(see above). They were covered in gold, and
the word, “gold” (זָהָב) is mentioned twice in these
verses, and as seen above, its gematria 14 mentioned 2 times, is a reflection of the number of elements (14 opposite 14) in the two tetrahedrons of a star tetrahedron (the Royal Seal). As seen in the post on Terumah, there were other vessels that had
staves (see there). Since the word, “stave” (בַּד)
is gematria 6, and the Golden Altar had 2 staves, and they are mentioned twice in these verses, this hints to the fourth dimension of Time, as seen above, which is four 6s: 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 = 1,296 (6 x 216). The Golden Altar was the 4th vessel that had staves; the other 3 (Ark , Table, and Copper Altar) were examined and explained in the
post on Terumah. Like the fourth dimension of Time which is different than the
other 3 dimensions of Space, the Golden Altar conforms to the same ratio (emanating from the letters of the abbreviations) where 1 vessel is different from the other 3 vessels (it is mentioned separately from the
others) separated in the text by other vessels, the vestments of the priests, and
sacrificial offerings. The Golden Altar is
off-by-itself and is different than the other 3,
just like the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name, where of the 4 letters, 1 is
different. (And so its dimensions (a hypercube of 5 x 5 x 5), corresponds to the 2 quadrants (that are different) of ccSpace216 (also a hypercube of 6 x 6 x 6, see above), that in turn correspond to the letters that are different in the marriage of the couples.)
With the completion of the Golden Altar, we can make mention
of the 3 Crowns. The Ark had a crown
border (see the post on Terumah),
which corresponded to the Crown of Torah, as the luchot were kept inside
the Ark and Moshe’s Written Torah Scroll was next to the Ark (or also inside
it). The Table also had a crown border (see Terumah), which corresponded
to the Crown of Kingship. The Table housed the show-bread and was a
source of blessing and bounty, and also physical sustenance which a king must
provide for his subjects. The Golden Altar also had a crown border (seen
above), and it corresponded to the Crown of Priesthood, for the incense
was burned on this Altar, which could only be performed by the priests (see
below). Incense is also a spiritual sense; it affects the spiritual limb, the
nose (the soul is said to enter through the nose…) and so the Priests took
care of the spiritual side of things (they were the intermediaries between men
and God; the High Priest had a 'telephone' to God (the Breastplate)). Notice
there was 1 more vessel inside the Mishkan; i.e. the
Menorah. What did it represent? Just like the marriage of the abbreviations of
the Name, which result in the 4-letter Name
that has 1 letter different from the other 4, the Menorah corresponds to the Crown of a
Good Name, which is better than all the rest. Alexander Janeaus Hyrcanus, 5th king of the Hasmonean Dynasty, was said to have
obtained the triple crown (of Kingship, Priesthood, and Prophecy (/Torah)).
But, as will be explained in a future post, he did not attain the 4th Crown of a Good Name, and he subsequently
became a Sadducee, and ultimately can be said to have attained a Crown of a Bad Name. As will be explained in a future post, one
must first attain the other 3, and only then can he attain the 4th.
Like the marriage of the abbreviations of the Name, one
is different (it can only be attained after the other 3). It was in this area, the
Menorah, the symbol of Chanukah, which the Hasmoneans were heir to, which Alexander Janeaus Hyrcanus failed in attaining the Crown that the Menorah
corresponds to.
In 30:6, we are told the position of the Golden Altar in the
Tabernacle: “You shall place it before the
Partition … in front of the Cover that is on
the luchot” or two places and two things, like the two luchot twice (and the second
tablet of the first set). The word, “Partition” (פָּרֹכֶת)
and the word, “Cover” (כַּפֹּרֶת) are both
mentioned, and as seen on the post on Terumah,
they both have a gematria of 700. They correspond here to the 70 elements in a tetrahedron opposite the 70
elements of its polar opposite that combine to form a star tetrahedron (Royal
Seal). It is of course one of the internal constructs in the combined cubic form of
the luchot (having a total of 10 internal and external
constructs) and so we see a gematria that is (70 x 10 (700)
opposite 70 x 10
(700)). In
Mispar Katan each word is gematria 7, and
hides the 2D shadow of the star tetrahedron that has 7
opposite 7 elements (as seen in the post on Yitro). In this same verse (30:6), the luchot
are mentioned twice and are called, “the
Testimonial-tablets”. As seen on the post on Terumah, the word, “Testimony”
(עֵדֻת) is gematria 474 alluding to
all 3 of the 4-letter
abbreviations of the Name (see the post on VaYishlach
on the Sapphire Magen David blog for the explanation). It is mentioned twice here, for both sets of luchot.
In 30:7-8, we are told that when Aaron cleans the lamps and
kindles them every morning and afternoon, he also is to bring incense up in
smoke each time. Thus he performed 2
actions (dealing with the Menorah and the Golden Altar) twice (morning and afternoon) which is 2
and 2, like the number of quadrants in the
luchot when they are divided in the second
dimension, which correspond to the 4 letters of
Ekeyeh. This is just like the 2 (meal-offering
and wine libation) that were offered twice
(morning and afternoon) together with the Tamid-offering (seen above), and as
these were all done daily at the same time, they also correspond to the 4 opposite 4 quadrants
of ccSpace216.
In 30:8, we again have the word, “continual” (תָּמִיד) which is gematria 454, and as seen above, this hints to the 4 x 54 = 216, the Signature in the form of the quadrants of the
luchot divided in the second dimension.
In 30:9, it says, “You shall not bring upon it alien incense, or a burnt-offering or meal-offering; nor may you pour a libation upon it.” The linguistic ratio again conforms to a ratio of 3 with 1 (the alien incense being different). The other
3 were all things that were not brought upon the Golden Altar, whereas incense
was brought on the Golden Altar. Thus the command not to bring an alien incense
(an item that if it was proper could be brought upon the Altar) is
different than the other 3, which would never be brought upon the Altar1. This once again is like the
marriage of the abbreviations of the Name, where 3 are different from the 1.
It is worth pointing out certain instances when alien
incense was brought upon the Golden
Altar. The alien incense is exactly what Nadav and Avihu brought when they were
inaugurated, and they died for it (as we’ll see in Parashah Shemini). The other
alien incense worth noting, is the one Uzziah (12th) King of Judah brought. In
the year 3142, fearing devastating portents, he tried to bring an alien incense
to ward off the impending doom, but he was not a Priest. The High Priest
Azariah with 80 armed priests tried to warn him against such action, but he
refused to listen. Uzziah’s attempts at placating God were in vain, for at that
moment, the catastrophe struck. A mountain on the west side of Jerusalem was split, half of it being hurled
to the east. Volcanoes erupted, and the Earth quaked so violently that a great
breach was torn in the Temple .
Uzziah himself was stricken and the devastation to the rest of the country and
surrounding lands was enormous. Though Uzziah was not killed, his reign as king
after that time was in title only; his son Jotham took over all official
duties. Uzziah spent the rest of his days in seclusion, and if you happen to be
in Israel , still today you
can see on the slopes of the Mount of Olives, close to the bottom of the Valley of Jehoshaphat ,
in Jerusalem ,
the artificial grotto where, according to the tradition, King Uzziah spent the
rest of his reign.
In the last verse of the Parashah (30:10), it mentions the
phrase, “once a year” (אַחַת בַּשָּׁנָה) twice, like the 2 luchot that were 1
tablet and 1 tablet. In this verse it also
mentions, “holy of holies” (קֹדֶשׁ-קֳדָשִׁים) which as seen above, is gematria 404 and 454, and
corresponds to the 4 0pposite
4 quadrants of ccSpace216
(the luchot divided in all 3 dimensions that correspond to the 4 letters of the Tetragrammaton opposite the 4 letters of the Havayah of Adnoot), and the 4 x 54 = 216 (the luchot divided in the second dimension which
correspond to the 4 letters of Ekeyeh), and
thus all 3 of the primary abbreviations of the
Name.
And finally, there are 101 verses in Parashah
Tetzaveh, like the 1 0pposite
1 tablets of the luchot, of which this Parashah
actually corresponds. Also, Parashah Tetzaveh is the 20th parashah, and it corresponds to the 2nd tablet, which completed the first set that had 10 commandments in total inscribed on it.
Other Themes
The Mishkan was known as the, “Tent of Meeting” (אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד) and as seen in the post on Terumah, the word, “Tent” (אֹהֶל) is gematria 36. The word, “Meeting”
(מוֹעֵד) is gematria 120, and Moshe “met” God in(/at) the Tent of
Meeting until he was 120 years old (see the post on Shemoth
for more on the number 120). The word, “Tent” (אֹהֶל)
is mentioned a total of 9 times in this week’s
Parashah (in 27:21, 28:43, 29:4, 10, 11, 30, 32, 42, & 44), and as it is
gematria 36, 9
x 36 = 324. We have seen this number above (in the section on the Breastplate) and it is actually related to the Signature. This Parashah (Tetzaveh) corresponds to the second tablet of the first set of luchot (seen so many times throughout this post), and thus completes the first set. The first set, as you know, was shattered, and so equaled 0. Thus the 9 times the word, “Tent” (אֹהֶל) is mentioned, with a gematria of 36, is 324, which is actually the Mispar Katan of 2 multiples of the Signature. 14 times the Signature (216) = 3,024 (324 in Mispar Katan), and 15 times the Signature (216) = 3,240 (again 324 in Mispar Katan) (see above).
As you know, 9 is a function of triplets, like the dimensions of 1 quadrant of ccSpace216, thus the gematria of אֹהֶל 9 times, is 36³ times 3, or 36 x 36 x 36 = 46,656 or 216 x 216, and then this reflection is seen 3 times, or all together 6 times the Signature (216) or 2166. 6 times the Signature (216) as seen above, is (216 x 6 = ) 1,296, the number signifying the 4th dimension of Time (6 x 6 x 6 x 6). But 2166 = 101559956668416, a number with 15 places (like the Havayah of Yud-Heh), and this one-dimensional numeric string hints to the 1 0pposite 1 tablets of the luchot, the 5 opposite 5 commandments, the 9 triplets of the Name and the number of elements in 1 quadrant of ccSpace216 (3 x 3 x 3), the 5 internal constructs, the dimensions of the luchot in handbreadths (6 x 6 x 6), the 8 quadrants of ccSpace216, the 5 internal polar opposites where 1 construct is different from the other 4, and the fourth 6 that corresponds to the 4th dimension of Time (6 x 6 x 6 x 6).
As Parashah Tetzaveh corresponds to the second tablet of the first set of luchot, it completes the set, and in next week’s Parashah Ki Thisa, Moshe would break this first set. It could not survive in this world intact, and as the story goes, the letters on the luchot flew off, and Moshe was left holding 2 dormant stones in his hands, which then became very heavy, and he hurled them down to the ground where they shattered. Before the letters escaped, the luchot carried themselves. As Parashah Tetzaveh corresponds to the second tablet, completing the first set, there are many hints to the fact that this set would not last. There are many gematrias in Parashah Tetzaveh that are seemingly 1 off, and this hints to the letters (/numbers) already disappearing, which was a prelude to the shattering of the first set of luchot (narrated in next week’s Parashah).

But 2166 = 101559956668416, a number with 15 places (like the Havayah of Yud-Heh), and this one-dimensional numeric string hints to the 1 0pposite 1 tablets of the luchot, the 5 opposite 5 commandments, the 9 triplets of the Name and the number of elements in 1 quadrant of ccSpace216 (3 x 3 x 3), the 5 internal constructs, the dimensions of the luchot in handbreadths (6 x 6 x 6), the 8 quadrants of ccSpace216, the 5 internal polar opposites where 1 construct is different from the other 4, and the fourth 6 that corresponds to the 4th dimension of Time (6 x 6 x 6 x 6).

Some examples are:
- The phrase, “to minister to Me” (לְכַהֲנוֹ-לִי) that was seen in the beginning of the Parashah 3 times has a total gematria of (3 x 151 = ) 453, or one less than 454, or 4 x 54 = 216, the division of the luchot in the second dimension.
- In 28:12, is the word, “remembrance” (זִכָּרֹן) which is gematria 277, one less than 278, or 27 x 8 = 216, the number of quadrants and the number of elements in each quadrant of ccSpace216.
- In 28:17, the word, “row” (טוּר) is gematria 215, one less than 216, the Signature.
- In 28:20, the word, “in their mountings” (בְּמִלּוּאֹתָם) is gematria 1079, one less than 1080, or 5 times the Signature (216).
- In 28:28, the word, “loosened” (יִזַּח) is gematria 25, one less than 26, the gematria of the Tetragrammaton.
- In 29:1, the word, “young bull” (בֶּן-בָּקָר) is gematria 354 not 454, or 4 x 54 = 216.
- In 29:29, the word, “inaugurate” (וּלְמַלֵּא) is gematria 107, one less than 108, the number of handbreadths in 1 tablet.
- In 30:9, the word, “and the meal-offering” (וּמִנְחָה) is gematria 109, one more than 108, the number of handbreadths in 1 tablet.
The last 2 examples are like the luchot that broke apart: 1
has one more piece and one has one less piece.
There are a number of missing letters in this week’s Parashah, and as seen in the posts on the Book of Exodus, the Signature is hidden from the casual observer this way. But before we enumerate the missing letters, we must point out an extra letter. In 28:5, there is an extra Heh (ה) in the word, הַשָׁנִי, and as Heh (ה) is gematria 5, this corresponds to this entire Parashah which corresponds to the second tablet (of the first set of luchot) that had 5 commandments on it.
There are a number of missing yuds in this week’s Parashah. In 29:1, the words, “rams” and “unblemished” are each missing a yud. In 29:3, the word, “the rams” is also missing a yud. And in 29:40, the word, “a quarter” is also missing a yud. As yud is gematria 10, the 4 times it is missing is (10 x 4 = ) 40, or the 10 internal and 10 external constructs, plus the 10 utterances plus the 10 sefirot. The third iteration of the Sierpinski Gasket has 40 triangles (see the graphic in the post on VaEra). There are only 40, as there is already a yud (10) missing from the 50 (5 commandments of 1 tablet that this Parashah corresponds to, times the 10 internal constructs); the letters are totally disappearing (see above). This is also because of the sin of the Golden Calf, which necessitated the breakage of the first set, and also decreed that that generation of Israelites would die in the Wilderness throughout, yes, the 40 years of Wandering.
As you read the next section, notice how the missing vavs are not random, but found in very specific groups of 'three'.
There are many missing vavs in this week’s Parashah. In 27:20, the word, “to kindle” is missing a vav. In 27:21, the word, “the Testimonial-tablets” is also missing a vav. And in 28:11, the word, “signet” is also missing a vav, and as vav is gematria 6, the 3 times vav is missing is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216, the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name, and a very familiar reflection. In 28:6, the word, “the Ephod” is missing a vav. And in 28:7, the words, “shoulder straps” and “attached” are also each missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 28:11, the words, “the names”, “encircled”, and, “them” are each missing a vav and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 28:12, the words, “shoulder straps” and, “the Ephod” are each missing a vav. And in 28:13, the word, “settings” is also missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 28:12, the words, “remembrance” and, “for a remembrance” are each missing a vav. And in 28:29, the word, “for a remembrance” is also missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 28:14, the words, “chains”, “edges”, and, “them” are each missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 28:14, the words, “chains” and, “the settings” are each missing a vav. And in 28:15, the word, “Ephod” is also missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 28:17, the word, “ruby” is missing a vav. And in 28:18, the words, “carbuncle” and “pearl” are also each missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 28:21, the words, “the names” and, “their names” are each missing a vav. And in 28:22, the word, “at the edges” is also missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 28:24, the word, “the rings” is missing a vav. In 28:25, the word, “the Ephod” is also missing a vav. And in 28:26, the word, “them” is also missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 28:27, the word, “them” is missing a vav. In 28:28, the word, “rings” is also missing a vav. And in 28:33, the word, “bells” is also missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 28:41, each of the 3 times it says the word, “them” is missing a vav, and so again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 29:1, 3, & 4, the word, “them” is mentioned 3 times missing a vav, and so again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 29:2, the words, “loaves”, “unleavened”, and, “mixed” are each missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 29:5, each of the 3 times it mentions the word, “the Ephod” is missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 28:36, the word, “signet” is missing a vav. In 28:38, the word, “gifts” is also missing a vav. And in 29:18, the word, “burnt-offering” is also missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 29:9, the words, “them” and, “headdresses” are each missing a vav. And in 29:12, the word, “horns” is also missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 29:13, the words, “diaphragm” and, “kidneys” are each missing a vav. And in 29:14, the word, “its hide” is also missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 29:25, the words, “them” and, “the burnt-offering” are each missing a vav. In 29:31, the words, “place” and, “holy” are also each missing a vav. And in 29:33, both words, “them” are also each missing a vav. This is 3 twos, and as seen above, this corresponds to the 1D dimensions of the luchot: (2 + 2 + 2 = ) 6 (handbreadths). This is the third mention of 3 twos in this Parashah. Thus all 3 dimensions of the luchot are seen in this Parashah, for like we saw in BeShalach, 3 twos three times is: (2 + 2 + 2 = ) 6 and (2 + 2 + 2 = ) 6 and (2 + 2 + 2 = ) 6 or 6 x 6 x 6 = 216, the cubic dimensions of the luchot in all 3 dimensions. The breakdown of the above 3 verses with missing vavs (6), is “three 6s or 6 x 6 x 6 = 216” opposite “three 6s or 6 x 6 x 6 = 216”. In 29:24, the word, “them” is missing a vav. In 29:41, the word, “satisfying” is also missing a vav. And in 29:46, the word, “them” is also missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 30:4, the word, “rings” is missing a vav. In 30:5, the word, “them” is also missing a vav. And in 30:9, the word, “and the burnt-offering” is also missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 30:6, the word, “ark” and both words, “the Testimonial-tablets” are each missing a vav, and so again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 30:7, the word, “the lamps” is missing a vav. And in 30:8, the words, “and when he kindles” and “the lamps” are each missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216.

There are a number of missing yuds in this week’s Parashah. In 29:1, the words, “rams” and “unblemished” are each missing a yud. In 29:3, the word, “the rams” is also missing a yud.

This is the third mention of 3 twos in this Parashah. Thus all 3 dimensions of the luchot are seen in this Parashah, for like we saw in BeShalach, 3 twos three times is: (2 + 2 + 2 = ) 6 and (2 + 2 + 2 = ) 6 and (2 + 2 + 2 = ) 6 or 6 x 6 x 6 = 216, the cubic dimensions of the luchot in all 3 dimensions. The breakdown of the above 3 verses with missing vavs (6), is “three 6s or 6 x 6 x 6 = 216” opposite “three 6s or 6 x 6 x 6 = 216”. In 29:24, the word, “them” is missing a vav. In 29:41, the word, “satisfying” is also missing a vav. And in 29:46, the word, “them” is also missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. In 30:4, the word, “rings” is missing a vav.

And in 30:8, the words, “and when he kindles” and “the lamps” are each missing a vav, and again there is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216.
There is an impressive 72
vavs missing in this week’s Parashah! Think about that for a moment.
The number 72 of course is a third of 216, the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name and a third of the total dimensions of the luchot. There were 72 letters upon the Breastplate, and also 72 pomegranates and 72 bells on the hem of the Robe, as seen in this week’s Parashah. There are a total of 24 sets of three 6s (216) of missing vavs, like the 24 Priestly Gifts that Aaron received. 72 missing vavs, which are gematria 6, is 72 x 6 = 432, or 2 x 216, the number of handbreadths in the luchot, and as the vavs are missing from the Parashah (Tetzaveh) that corresponds to the second tablet of the first set that completes the set, this hints to the (first) set that would be missing, necessitating a second set. Thus both sets combined have total dimensions of (216 + 216 = ) 432 handbreadths. Also, as mentioned above, as Parashah Tetzaveh corresponds to the second tablet of the first set, it corresponds to the second 2 quadrants of 4cSpace54, that correspond to the 4 letters of Ekeyeh. One of these quadrants is the “1 different”, and as seen above, when the Havayah of Ekeyeh splits into 2, the luchot follow suit, and the 8 quadrants of 8cSpace27 are formed. The 2 quadrants that are different, that correspond to the letters that are different in the marriage of the couples, was seen above to be a hypercube of 6 x 6 x 6, (that connects to the hypercube of the Golden Altar), which has total dimensions of (72 x 6 = ) 432, the same number of missing vavs in the Parashah (Tetzaveh) that corresponds to the tablet that contains these quadrants of ccSpace216.

There is one more group of missing letters in this week’s
Parashah. In 28:22, quite peculiarly, the word, “chains” (שַׁרְשֹׁת) is missing a vav (ו) and a Resh (ר).
And, there is 1 more yud (י) missing in 28:28, in the word, “from
the rings”. The gematria of Resh (ר)
is 200, the gematria of vav is 6 and the gematria of yud is 10. You can add that up on your own. The Signature is hidden in an unusual way in this week’s Parashah, as the
missing Resh, Vav, and Yud, have a combined gematria of: 200
+ 6 + 10 = 216, the Signature of the Architect!
This specific 216 (missing from the words in this Parashah) hints to the
fact that this Parashah corresponds to the second tablet of the first set of
luchot, thus completing the dimensions of 216
handbreadths of the combined cubic form of the luchot, and the set which would
be missing from the world.
As mentioned numerous times in this post, Parashah Tetzaveh corresponds to the second tablet of the first set of luchot. As such, there have been an uncanny number of twos seen throughout the Parashah. There are a total of 38 twos by themselves and another 34 other 2s in Parashah Tetzaveh. Some of the two things, by virtue of sentence structure, have an implication of 'twice', alluding to the nature of the luchot. However, the total number of specifically references twos comes to 72! 72 times 2 = 144 (two thirds of 216) and we will yet find the missing third below. There are another 15 progressions of ‘2 and 2’, which correspond to the 2 and 2 luchot, and the luchot divided in the second dimension which corresponds to the 4 letters of Ekeyeh, and so 15 x 4 = 60, the dimensions of the luchot (6 handbreadths) times the 10 utterances of creation. If we combine all the 2s in Parashah Tetzaveh, then we have 72 x 60 = 4,320 or 216 x 20, (Parashah Tetzaveh is the 20th Parashah) or the Signature (216) times the 10 sefirot times the 2 luchot!
As Parashah Tetzaveh corresponds to the second tablet of the first set of luchot, it completes the first set, which when divided in the second dimension, corresponds to the 4 letters of Ekeyeh. The first set also corresponds to the Havayah of Ekeyeh, as it came down first, but could not be sustained as 1. Thus the Havayah of Ekeyeh split into 2 (the Tetragrammaton and the Havayah of Adnoot) and a universe in like form was able to sustain itself, and so were the second luchot divided in 2 able to survive intact. Thus as Parashah Tetzaveh corresponds to the second tablet of the first set, it actually also corresponds to the yud and the heh of the Havayah of Ekeyeh (see Part II of the Essential Construct 8 Dimensions on the Sapphire Magen David blog). The yud is the 1 letter (it also has a gematria in Mispar Katan of 1) that is different than the rest (it is created by subtraction), and this reflection (4 with 1 different than the other 3) is seen numerous times throughout Parashah Tetzaveh. It is seen a total of 18 times! There are 4 letters (with 1 different) of Ekeyeh, and 4 x 18 (times the reflection is seen in this Parashah) = 72, or a third of the Name (216). Combined with the 72 twos above there is (144 + 72 = ) 216, the number of handbreadths in the combined cubic form of the luchot and the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name.
As Parashah Tetzaveh corresponds to the second tablet of the first set, it also corresponds to the heh of Ekyeh (see above). Thus there was an extra heh in this Parashah (see above), which is gematria 5, and corresponds to the 5 commandments on the second tablet that this Parashah corresponds to. But, with the completion of the second tablet, opposite the first (which also had 5 commandments), it total there were now 10 commandments, and as such, Parashah Tetzaveh has a total of 10 portions (separated by Pei’s and Samekh’s).
The number of times the Royal Seal (28) in the form of 14 opposite 14, not including the 70 opposite 70 elements or the 7 opposite 7 of the 2D shadow, is seen in this Parashah in 2 ways (like the 2 luchot). First, in the word, “gold” alone, it is seen 10 times! (Or 14 seen 20 times.) Besides for it being seen in gold, the Royal Seal is also seen another 22 times! 22 is of course the number of different letters found in the cosmic blueprint, and together with the 10 times the Royal Seal is seen in gold, corresponds to the 10 utterances that used those letters to form creation. 22 is also the 2 and 2 luchot, that each had 10 internal and external constructs within.
We will end off with the continuation of the interrelation between Parashahs, and the Signature hidden across multiple Parashahs. As seen at the end of the post on Parashah Bo, there were 36 missing vavs in Parashah Bo, which was the 6th Parashah after Miketz. This resulted in 6 x 36 = 216, the Signature hidden across multiple Parashahs (see there). This chain continues, as Parashah Tetzaveh is the 6th Parashah after Bo. In Parashah Teztaveh, the word, “his” (לוֹ) which is gematria 36, is mentioned guess how many times? That’s right; 6 times! (In 28:7, 32, 43, 29:5, 30:3, & 4.) 36 (the gematria of לוֹ) x 6 (times that it is mentioned) = 216, the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name. As seen in the post on Bo, Parashah Miketz (almost) always falls out on Chanukah, on which we (Jews) light 36 candles. Candles (or the wick of oil) are like a vav (ו), and so the Signature is hidden across these Parashahs. The 36 candles of Chanukah on Parashah Miketz are like a vav, which is gematria 6. There are 36 missing vavs in Parashah Bo, which is 6 Parashahs later. Vav, as we’ve said, is gematria 6, and 6 Parashahs later, in Parashah Tetzaveh, the word, “his” (לוֹ) which is gematria 36, is mentioned 6 times. So in the 3 Parashahs that are spaced 6 away from each other, they contain the dimensions of the luchot: 6 (the vav-like candles) x 6 (the missing vavs) x 6 (mentions of לוֹ) = 216, the same number of handbreadths in the combined cubic form of the luchot, and the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name. The Signature is hidden in more ways than one, as seen in the other numbers involved in all 3 Parashahs: in Miketz there were 36 candles lit; in Bo there were 36 missing vavs; and in Tetzaveh the word לוֹ is gematria 36, which completes the circuit (the same letters as the lamed vav hidden righteous individuals in every generation). Thus 36 x 36 x 36 = 46,656 or 216 x 216, the Signature times itself!
As mentioned numerous times in this post, Parashah Tetzaveh corresponds to the second tablet of the first set of luchot. As such, there have been an uncanny number of twos seen throughout the Parashah. There are a total of 38 twos by themselves and another 34 other 2s in Parashah Tetzaveh. Some of the two things, by virtue of sentence structure, have an implication of 'twice', alluding to the nature of the luchot. However, the total number of specifically references twos comes to 72! 72 times 2 = 144 (two thirds of 216) and we will yet find the missing third below. There are another 15 progressions of ‘2 and 2’, which correspond to the 2 and 2 luchot, and the luchot divided in the second dimension which corresponds to the 4 letters of Ekeyeh, and so 15 x 4 = 60, the dimensions of the luchot (6 handbreadths) times the 10 utterances of creation. If we combine all the 2s in Parashah Tetzaveh, then we have 72 x 60 = 4,320 or 216 x 20, (Parashah Tetzaveh is the 20th Parashah) or the Signature (216) times the 10 sefirot times the 2 luchot!
As Parashah Tetzaveh corresponds to the second tablet of the first set of luchot, it completes the first set, which when divided in the second dimension, corresponds to the 4 letters of Ekeyeh. The first set also corresponds to the Havayah of Ekeyeh, as it came down first, but could not be sustained as 1. Thus the Havayah of Ekeyeh split into 2 (the Tetragrammaton and the Havayah of Adnoot) and a universe in like form was able to sustain itself, and so were the second luchot divided in 2 able to survive intact. Thus as Parashah Tetzaveh corresponds to the second tablet of the first set, it actually also corresponds to the yud and the heh of the Havayah of Ekeyeh (see Part II of the Essential Construct 8 Dimensions on the Sapphire Magen David blog). The yud is the 1 letter (it also has a gematria in Mispar Katan of 1) that is different than the rest (it is created by subtraction), and this reflection (4 with 1 different than the other 3) is seen numerous times throughout Parashah Tetzaveh. It is seen a total of 18 times! There are 4 letters (with 1 different) of Ekeyeh, and 4 x 18 (times the reflection is seen in this Parashah) = 72, or a third of the Name (216). Combined with the 72 twos above there is (144 + 72 = ) 216, the number of handbreadths in the combined cubic form of the luchot and the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name.
As Parashah Tetzaveh corresponds to the second tablet of the first set, it also corresponds to the heh of Ekyeh (see above). Thus there was an extra heh in this Parashah (see above), which is gematria 5, and corresponds to the 5 commandments on the second tablet that this Parashah corresponds to. But, with the completion of the second tablet, opposite the first (which also had 5 commandments), it total there were now 10 commandments, and as such, Parashah Tetzaveh has a total of 10 portions (separated by Pei’s and Samekh’s).
The number of times the Royal Seal (28) in the form of 14 opposite 14, not including the 70 opposite 70 elements or the 7 opposite 7 of the 2D shadow, is seen in this Parashah in 2 ways (like the 2 luchot).

We will end off with the continuation of the interrelation between Parashahs, and the Signature hidden across multiple Parashahs. As seen at the end of the post on Parashah Bo, there were 36 missing vavs in Parashah Bo, which was the 6th Parashah after Miketz. This resulted in 6 x 36 = 216, the Signature hidden across multiple Parashahs (see there). This chain continues, as Parashah Tetzaveh is the 6th Parashah after Bo. In Parashah Teztaveh, the word, “his” (לוֹ) which is gematria 36, is mentioned guess how many times? That’s right; 6 times! (In 28:7, 32, 43, 29:5, 30:3, & 4.) 36 (the gematria of לוֹ) x 6 (times that it is mentioned) = 216, the number of letters in God’s Explicit Name. As seen in the post on Bo, Parashah Miketz (almost) always falls out on Chanukah, on which we (Jews) light 36 candles. Candles (or the wick of oil) are like a vav (ו), and so the Signature is hidden across these Parashahs. The 36 candles of Chanukah on Parashah Miketz are like a vav, which is gematria 6.

Thus 36 x 36 x 36 = 46,656 or 216 x 216, the Signature times itself!
In summary, the number of
reflections of the Signature in Parashah Tetzaveh is simply staggering! The
Parashah itself corresponds to a (single) tablet of the luchot, and so the number of
reflections in its many forms is overwhelming. In next week’s Parashah (Ki
Thisa), Moshe will break the first set of luchot, and bring down the second
set. Stay tuned!
