The Mathematics Of All Good

ומנלן דהתורה נקראת ברכה
Sefer HaBahir, verse 3 excerpt

Traditional interpretation: "How do we know that Torah is called a blessing?"

The first 3 words (ומנלן דהתורה נקראת) of this excerpt of verse 3, have the following gematriot:

176 : 620 : 751

with digit sums of:

14 : 8 : 13 => yachid -> gateway -> echad

final digit sums of:

5 : 8 : 4 => teshuvah -> gateway -> 'ד (Hashem, see dalet & the tetragrammaton)

and combined digit sums of:

5 + 8 + 4 = 17 = הטבא = "the good" that is all good

Summary: Here is the gateway to all good.
