Raz HaTorah
ומנלן דהתורה נקראת ברכה
Sefer HaBahir, verse 3 excerpt
Traditional interpretation: "How do we know that Torah is called a blessing?"
As written in a previous entry, The Mathematics Of All Good, the combined digit sums of the first 3 words of this excerpt are 17, הטבא = "the good" that is all good.
The gematria of the 4th word ברכה is 227, with a final digit sum of 2. Thus, the combined digit sums of all 4 words equals 19.
The 19th letter of the alef-beit is qof ק, generally symbolizing kedushah and the "eye of the needle" through which the transcendent penetrates the immanent. Qof is composed of the letters reish ר and zayin ז, which form the word raz. In the word raz רז is the mystery of mashiach ben David and revelation of a great holy light brought down of Ein Sof =>
keter to malchut
19 has a digit sum of 10 (keter) and a final digit sum of 1 (malchut)
'ד Thus, contained within this 4-word excerpt from the Bahir is the holy mystery Raz.
