The Gematria of This Year's Appellation

 Jews like to take the year they're in and give the year a titular title, to suggest that that title will prophesy for them the general scenario that will play out that year.

This year, 5786, has been personified (by a Rabbi Y. Ginsburg) by the acronym for

"It will be a year of 'Be fruitful and multiply'"

תהי׳ה שנת פרו ורבו


And what would the Gematria of that potentially prophetic phrase predict assuming its numerical find is significant?


The gematria of 1670 in Torah is found in only two verses:

Below are those verses, and their translations:


1) Devarim (2:15)

וגם יד יהוה היתה בם להמם מקרב המחנה עד תמם


2) Parsha Shoftim (20:4)

כי יהוה אלהיכם ההלך עמכם להלחם לכם עם איביכם להושיע אתכם 


1) Also the hand of the Lord was upon them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.


2) For the Lord, your God, is the One Who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.


My hope is these verses portray the end of terror - the end of Hamas and the end of hate of the Jewish People - this year.

WATER in Tanach

It is interesting that the 3 letters that spell water, namely, מים, can have all letters of the Hebrew alphabet immediately precede them, with one exception -- the letter פ.

Water is a special substance. It can contain all sorts of ions and molecules that we know about, but water itself defies the rules. When frozen, water expands; all else contracts. It's got at least 4 phases: Solid, EZ gel phase, Liquid and Vapor or Gas. It comprises most of us, through and through. It energizes with far infrared light, which itself is ubiquitous. It can resonate inside our tissues and provide electricity.

How fitting that the word מים can attach to all letters. 

Anyone have an idea about the פ exception? Only these letters cannot be found attached in Tanach ==> פמים

One quick thought: Did you know Arabs can't pronounce that letter. They cannot say "Pay". Instead they say, "Bay". What's the connection? No idea!


P.S.   How did I learn of this "discovery"? I searched for מים to see how many times the word, water, appeared in Torah, but this one word happens to be, as I now found out, after having used the toraware.org program for many many years, a problem my program could not handle. None of my search options could significantly reduce the number of hits I got so I can at least visually try and assess the right count. It is extremely cumbersome because every letter but one can precede this suffix.
