The eighth of Av

45.’ And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name- וַיִּקְרָא פַרְעֹה שֵׁם יוֹסֵף (2448=18 counting final Peh and Mem as 800 and 600) “Zaphenath-Paneach”- צָפְנַת פַּעְנֵחַ (828=18); and he gave him Osnat- וַיִּתֶּן לוֹ אֶת אָסְנַת (1414=10=1 or +4 words=14=8), the daughter of Poti-phera, Priest of On, as a wife- בַּת פּוֹטִי פֶרַע כֹּהֵן אֹן לְאִשָּׁה (2619=18 counting final Nun as 700). And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt- וַיֵּצֵא יוֹסֵף עַל אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם (1034=8 or 2134=10=1 counting final Zadik, Peh and Mem as 900, 800 and 600).

Rashi comments here that the words “Zaphenath-Paneach”- צָפְנַת פַּעְנֵחַ means “decipherer of the cryptic” (Beraishit Rabbah 90.4). Rashi adds that in the whole of Scripture there is no word similar to “Paneach”- פַּעְנֵחַ.

In my opinion the words “Zaphenath-Paneach”- צָפְנַת פַּעְנֵחַ mean “code breaker” as Joseph knew the Code of Hai in which the Torah is encrypted. This is proven by the gematria of the words.

In Modern Hebrew the word “Tzofen”-צוֹפֶן (226=10=1) means "code" and the word “Pianuch”- פִּעַנוּחַ(214+1 word=8) means “decipher”.

· Of the Code- “Zaphenath”- צָפְנַת = 620=8

· Decryptor- “Paneach”- פַּעְנֵחַ = 208=10=1

828=18

This verse teaches us without a doubt that the Torah is encrypted in code-the Code of Hai (18) of 1 and 8 and that Joseph knew the Code.

The number 18 is the gematria of the word “Hai”- ח"י which means “life”, “alive” and “living”.

Thus Pharaoh called Joseph “the code breaker” as he knew how to decipher the code of the Universe (encrypted in the Torah) which emanates from the Eighth Sphira, the Metaphysical World and which sustains all life.

The gematria of the word “Crown”- “Keter”- כתר is 620=8.

The word “Zaphenath”- צָפְנַת has the same gematria 620 (8) as the word “crown”- כתר.

The numbers 1-8-2-0 which appear in the gematria of the word “Paneach”- פַּעְנֵחַ 208=10 correspond to the 1820 times that the Name "Hashem"- יהוה appears in the Torah.

The “Crown” of Torah is its secret code. Joseph knew how to decipher the code of the Torah and thus he took the “Crown” of Egypt which was “Super Power” of the Ancient World.
