Beraishit 17.12- בראשית

The Commandment of Circumcision

12.’ At the age of eight days every male among you shall be circumcised throughout your generations; one that is born in the household, or bought with money of any stranger that is not of your offspring-

וּבֶן שְׁמֹנַת יָמִים יִמּוֹל לָכֶם כָּל זָכָר לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם יְלִיד בָּיִת וּמִקְנַת כֶּסֶף מִכֹּל בֶּן נֵכָר אֲשֶׁר לֹא מִזַּרְעֲךָ הוּא

This gematria is one of the most powerful gematriot in the entire Torah as it shows the inherent connection of the commandment of Circumcision, the 8^th day and Hashem-יהוה (26) encrypted in the Code of 1 and 8. 

The verse can be divided so:

·         At the age of eight days every male among you shall be circumcised throughout your generations- וּבֶן שְׁמֹנַת יָמִים יִמּוֹל לָכֶם כָּל זָכָר לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם (2105=8);

·         One that is born in the household, or bought with money of any stranger that is not of your offspring- יְלִיד בָּיִת וּמִקְנַת כֶּסֶף מִכֹּל בֶּן נֵכָר אֲשֶׁר לֹא מִזַּרְעֲךָ הוּא (4365=18 counting final Peh and Nun as 800 and 700).

Rashi clarifies here that a child born to a slave-woman or to a slave-woman who is pregnant the child is born at eight days old. If purchased after birth the child is circumcised immediately (Shabbat 135.b).

The gematria of the words “eight days old”- וּבֶן שְׁמֹנַת יָמִים is 942+3 words=18.

The gematria of the words “eight days”- שְׁמֹנַת יָמִים is 890=17=8 or + 2 words=19=10=1.

The gematria of the words “one that is born in the household”- יְלִיד בָּיִת is 466+2 words=18.

The gematria of the words “or bought with money of any stranger”-וּמִקְנַת כֶּסֶף מִכֹּל בֶּן נֵכָר is 2538=18 counting final Peh and Nun as 800 and 700).

The gematria of the words “son of a stranger”- בֶּן נֵכָר is 972=18 counting final Nun as 700.

The fact that the circumcision is to take place on the eighth day teaches us that it is a commandment from the Eighth Sphira. On the 8^th day a Jewish male soul is developed. The day of the circumcision can also be seen as THE “birthday” of a Jewish male as it is the day when he enters into the “Covenant of Our Father Abraham”-בריתו של אברהם אבינו

. 

The Covenant of Abraham our Father

בריתו של אברהם אבינו
