D'varim 4.29
 דברים 4.29



29. ’And you will seek from there Hashem your G-d and you shall find Him if you search after Him with all your heart and with all your soul-וּבִקַּשְׁתֶּם מִשָּׁם אֶת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וּמָצָאתָ כִּי תִדְרְשֶׁנּוּ בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל נַפְשֶׁךָ (3862=19=10=1 or 6422+12 words=6434=17=8 counting final Mems and Kafs as 600 and 500).


The verse can be divided so:
·         And you will seek from there Hashem your G-d and you shall find Him - וּבִקַּשְׁתֶּם מִשָּׁם אֶת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וּמָצָאתָ(2258=17=8);
·         If you search after Him with all your heart and with all your soul-כִּי תִדְרְשֶׁנּוּ בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל נַפְשֶׁךָ (1604+6 words=1610=8).



With all your heart and with all your soul
בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל נַפְשֶׁךָ
1574=17=8 (Kafs 500)

With all your heart
בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ
586=19=10=1



Where is "from there"? 


Yerushalem
יְרוּשָׁלִַם
586=19=10=1



Yerushalem is the Heart of the Universe!

If one is prepared to sacrifice heart and soul for Hashem and Jerusalem then there he will find Him and there he shall be at 1 with Him and receive from Him eternal life (18).

In the words of King David (Psalms 137.5):


If I forget you Jerusalem-may my right hand lose its cunning

אִם אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלָםִ תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי


3424+5 words=3429=18 (final letters)
