Unnamed villagers: She's in the well! She could drown, chas v'shalom!

Turlough (who is here somehow): She already drowned!

[theestervashti]

"The Fitting." From Esther 2: 19-20.

We just discovered there are several definitions of virginity, one we keep to ourselves, one that is imposed upon us by society. The one that counts is the one we keep to ourselves as we wait for just the right touch.

All societies on earth are virgins, being hustled and bustled and fussed over by persons that do not care about their needs or feelings, wants and desires. The coming of the Mashiach is their longing, a time when the social and internal definitions of quality of life are in close harmony.

Conspiracies, something called a secret combination in the Book of Mormon are alliances formed between the church, state, industry, and private persons in order to squeeze the public like a grape. Secret Combinations represent a deep corrupt illness in our lives. Much of the Book of Mormon is dedicated to the complete eradication of them and their causes, the Gadianton Robbers, "those who cover up things of value."

Gadianton means:

Gad= to cut out

ian= anything without

ton= the undertone

The references in the Book of Mormon like the rest of it are simply fabulous:

Secret Combinations

See also Cain; Gadianton Robbers

An organization of people bound together by oaths to carry out the evil purposes of the group.

The father of lies stirreth up the children of men unto secret combinations, 2 Ne. 9:9.

I must needs destroy the secret works of darkness, 2 Ne. 10:15.

Judgments of God did come upon these workers of secret combinations, Alma 37:30.

Gadianton did prove almost the entire destruction of the people of Nephi, Hel. 2:4–13.

Satan put it into the hearts of the people to form secret oaths and covenants, Hel. 6:21–31.

The Lord worketh not in secret combinations, Ether 8:19.

Nations that uphold secret combinations shall be destroyed, Ether 8:22–23.

They did reject all the words of the prophets, because of their secret society, Ether 11:22.

From the days of Cain, there was a secret combination, Moses 5:51.

The objectives of the Secret Combination in America was the one that attempted to keep the black man in slavery. The Book of Mormon, written for the most part by President Abraham Lincoln, introduced a doctrine of freedom to the nation and we know what happened after that.

In the Book of Eshter, we see a secret combination is attempting to usurp the line of succession of the Kingdom of Persia and take the queen's virginity and thus become entitled to that which was stolen rather than offered freely.

The text says we can't have our virginity stolen twice; meaning once slavery to the man is done, we must not submit ever again unless the slavery is to one's sugar honey.

The story continues as Marduk, called Mordecai in Hebrew, AKA the Babylonian god of the King's Gate calls attention to the plans of a secret combination.

The structure of the block of verses is what is called a Hand. Hands consist of five stanzas designed to explain the cultivation of a member of the royal line of succession. They are different from those which appear in 2, 3, 4, 6, or 7 line blocks of scripture found in the Torah and Tanakh. The goal of a Hand is to "bring up" up an enlightened person into an elevated level of Malchut, AKA Tiferet, "of glory."

The story says the secret combination that was trying to prevent Esther's rise to glory on her wedding night consisted of two officials, the king's officers. They did not end well when discovered:

Mordecai Uncovers a Conspiracy

19 When the virgins were assembled a second time, Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate. 

20 But Esther had kept secret her family background and nationality just as Mordecai had told her to do, for she continued to follow Mordecai’s instructions as she had done when he was bringing her up.

21 During the time Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate, Bigthana[b] and Teresh, two of the king’s officers who guarded the doorway, became angry and conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.

22 But Mordecai found out about the plot and told Queen Esther, who in turn reported it to the king, giving credit to Mordecai. 

23 And when the report was investigated and found to be true, the two officials were impaled on poles. All this was recorded in the book of the annals in the presence of the king.

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 19: The virgins gathered a second time. Until you place your lips on another's or put your hand on his chest, you are a virgin to this person. Marduk "the son of Utu Shamash, the destroyer of darkness" means "resist the misfortune." The Number is ה‎החו‎ ‎‎"from the meadow."

=

We can't lose our virginity until we meet someone who has put slavery of any kind behind him or her and we have done the same. This place in life is called the meadow; it is carefree, effortless, clement, pleasant, and rejuvenating.

Communities are meant to find themselves and their ways of life in the meadow not within a melting pot meltdown.

v. 20: Esther followed the instructions and was brought up. Esther endured Seven Days of torture in hell. She then returned to life and restored human nature. The Number is 10358 ק‎גהח‎, kgah. Eventually we have to come into the light and old age is too late:

"The verb כהה (kaha) means to be dim or darkened and is often used for the effects old age has on one's eyesight (Deuteronomy 34:7, Isaiah 42:4). It comes with two derivatives:

The adjective כהה (keheh), meaning dim, dull or faint (1 Samuel 3:2, Isaiah 61:3). The feminine noun כהה (keha), meaning a lessening or alleviating. Some translations read "healing," but that overshoots the meaning of this root somewhat. It occurs only in Nahum 3:19."

v. 21: Two of the king's guards became angry. Anger is always selfishness and jealousy. It is the root cause of idolatry, worship of the offended, disquieted ego self.

They are identified as:

Bigthana= your fortune is mine!

Teresh= fear of austerity, of inheriting nothing

These must not influence the search for the sugar honey, that would be a mistake. ‎

The Number is 10065, ק‎סה‎, cassa, "the chair seat", also י'‎סה‎ ‎, "yes, there is existence."

"Existence" is explained in Massei. It is apparently comprised of a world without assholes in it:

The Israelites Conquer the Canaanites.

40 The Canaanite king of Arad "the wild ass", who lived in the Negev "rolling hills" of Canaan, heard that the Israelites were coming. 41 They left Mount Hor "the highest mountain" and camped at Zalmonah "place of idols." 42 They left Zalmonah and camped at Punon "the regions beyond." 43 They left Punon and camped at Oboth, "water skins". 44 They left Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim, "ruins of the regions behind" on the border of Moab "the waters of the past". 45 They left Iye Abarim and camped at Dibon Gad "future washing water". 46 They left Dibon Gad and camped at Almon Diblathaim "hidden in the two cakes". 47 They left Almon Diblathaim and camped in the mountains of Abarim, "across the Jordan" near Nebo "the prophecy." 48 They left the mountains of Abarim and camped on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho "the fragrant place". 49 There on the plains of Moab they camped along the Jordan from Beth Jeshimoth "house of waste" to Abel Shittim, "the stream by the acacias".

=

"In order to make the plan of God, His Promise of a land flowing with milk and honey come to pass, the rolling hills of cyclic existence must be surpassed. All the idols, men who act like and are treated like gods, who long for the afterlife at the expense of real life must be thrown down so their flawed and ridiculous patterns come to an end.

Beyond them are "water skins" pure men who, free to worship the One God Alone, will be able reflect upon Him. Leave the dirty water of the past behind, move forward by reflecting upon the future. A future free of assholes, liars, tyrants, cheaters, freaks, and their corruption which lay between yesterday and tomorrow.

Do not hesitate to leave their shittiness behind, their House of Waste, and cross over into a land that is fragrant with "inexpensive fragrance", the sweetness of men who live without strife."

v. 22: Marduk received the credit. Resistance to secret combinations and privateers who think they are entitled to the privileges others have to earn is always where the credit or the inheritance is willed.

The Number is 6211, ו‎ב‎בב‎ ‎, "The port, the gangway."

The gangway was revealed when Moses parted the Red Sea. As soon as the opportunity to escape the darkness of the secret underworld is availed, one must change one's mind and head in the other direction. Our enemies must be left for dead behind us.

As we discussed in the prior frame, this is why the Other is critical in our lives, he gives us hope the future and the past shall no longer collide. He gives us something homogeneous to look forward to.

v. 23: All of this was recorded in the book. For a virgin homo, the book of the annals has not been written yet. Some would say if it involves a fairy tale romance with a prince or a princess it is worth waiting for. The Number is 10015, י'‎אה‎, "a proper fitting."

The new or newer honeybee in one's life is supposed to fit like a sexy new outfit. It is supposed to feel as if one is living within one's own skin at last. Any conspiracies that take place around the palace intrigue are therefore to foster this female prince version of Shabbat called a fitting. The theft of virginity is otherwise considered a crime.

Societies that surrender this feeling to the whims of oppressors and desires of the corrupt for even a single second are making a huge mistake.

As I have said, the fucking Republicans, a hotbed of terrorism and conspiracies in America and all around the world to steal virginities need to be exterminated, just as the Book of Mormon instructs.

[becoming-balabusta]

Chabad.org has a music app, and I am sooo here for this.

[monsooninn]

Berakhot 25b: 23. "Belial."

According to the Torah, we are all balding. Balding is a sign of age but not of wisdom. To have plenty of hair is desirable but only if one is not foolish. The following Mishnah explains why hair is so queer a thing for Jewish people who just don't seem to know what to do with the crop on their heads.

23. Rava said: Write, lower than three, like a wolf in my blood. Ten — it is my last inheritance. From three to ten — there is a deba from which Rav Yosef added more than one and did not break it. Rav said: It went like Rabbi Shimon ben Eleazar. And so said Balali, Rav Yaakov said in his deba of Shmuel: It went like Rabbi Shimon ben Eleazar. And Rava said: There is no way to fight against Shimon ben Eleazar.

This Mishnah, very difficult to read says if there is evidence of "worthlessness" AKA the demon god Balali, AKA Belial, "old, obsolete, beyond purpose", all one can do is deba or daven. It will not satisfy the wolf in the blood, but sure you can pray the days that remain away.

Rava warns against this however: Playing with time, holding steady in a a state of mediocrity or less, waiting for old age is a mistake. It is a loaded gun pointed at one's head. You cannot win against it.

1. Core phrases and Hebrew root structure

“Rava said: Write, lower than three”

Write — כתב (K-T-B) Root idea: inscription, fixation, making something permanent in form. → This is the move from fluid thought into structured reality.

Lower than three — פחות משלוש (P-Ḥ-T / Š-L-Š)

פחת (P-Ḥ-T): to diminish, reduce, fall below threshold

שלוש (Š-L-Š): “three,” often functioning in Hebrew thought as a stable patterning number (structure, balance, minimal system)

Sense: Anything “below three” is pre-structural—unstable, not yet capable of sustaining form.

“like a wolf in my blood”

Wolf — זאב (Z-’E-V) Root carries the sense of predation, urgency, survival intelligence. The wolf is not ornamental—it is adaptive pressure.

Blood — דם (D-M) Root of life-force, inherited continuity, embodied identity.

Sense: “Wolf in my blood” = an inherited predatory drive inside life itself—an internal pressure that refuses passive existence.

👉 This is the anti-mediocrity force in the text: not calm balance, but internal necessity that hunts stagnation.

“Ten — it is my last inheritance”

Ten — עשר (ʿ-Š-R) Root relates to completeness of counted system, a full cycle of order.

Inheritance — נחלה (N-Ḥ-L) Root: to receive, possess, pass down as structured continuity.

Sense: “Ten” is the limit of structured completeness—the final inherited system before transformation is required.

👉 Ten here represents fully developed mediocrity-capable order: complete, stable, and therefore also finished.

“From three to ten — there is a deba”

Likely root cluster: דבה / דבא / דבר (D-B-?)

Common semantic field:

דבה (dibbah): rumor, slander, distortion spreading through systems

דבא (dava): wasting, decline, slow corrosion

דבר (davar): “word / thing / structured utterance”

Sense in context: between minimal structure (3) and complete structure (10), there is a zone of instability and distortion—where systems are tested, eroded, or reshaped.

👉 This is the “middle zone” where mediocrity either collapses or evolves.

“Rav Yosef added more than one and did not break it”

One — אחד (E-Ḥ-D) Root: unity, singular integrity.

Break — שבר (Š-B-R) Root: fracture, collapse of form.

Sense: adding “more than one” without breaking means introducing multiplicity without losing coherence.

👉 This is structural resilience: complexity that does not collapse into chaos.

“It went like Rabbi Shimon ben Eleazar”

Proper name functioning as:

Shimon — שמעון (Š-M-ʿ): “hearing, responsiveness”

Eleazar — אל-עזר (E-L-ʿ-Z-R): “God helps / assistance / support”

Sense: authority is given to one who hears correctly and stabilizes through support, not domination.

“There is no way to fight against Shimon ben Eleazar”

Fight — נלחם (N-L-Ḥ-M): to engage in struggle, contest structure

No way — אין דרך (ʾ-E-N / D-R-K): absence of path, absence of method

Sense: the structure cannot be overturned because it is not merely opinion—it is a stabilized interpretive system.

2. Structural meaning of the passage

The passage is not really about individuals. It is about thresholds of existence:

Below 3 → pre-structured life (instinct, raw impulse, unformed reality)

3 → 10 → transitional zone (instability, distortion, reinterpretation)

10 → completed system (fully formed order that risks stagnation)

But inside this system appears the anomaly:

“wolf in my blood”

This is the key disruption.

3. Exceeding mediocrity and obsolescence (the internal logic)

Mediocrity = “Ten”

“Ten” is not failure—it is completion. But completion in Hebrew conceptual logic often implies closure, and closure becomes obsolescence when nothing new can enter.

So “inheritance” becomes limitation.

The wolf = anti-obsolescence principle

The wolf (זאב) is:

not stable

not inherited

not satisfied with structured completion

It represents continuous re-entry into necessity.

So the system of the passage is:

Structure (3 → 10) builds civilization of thought

Inheritance (10) stabilizes it

Wolf (blood) prevents it from becoming dead form

4. Final synthesis

This text is describing a tension:

כתב / נחלה / עשר → writing, inheritance, completion

vs

זאב / דם / פחת → instinct, life-pressure, reduction of false stability

And in the middle:

דבה / דבא zone → where systems decay or are re-forged

Bottom line

Exceeding mediocrity in this framework is not about going “beyond ten” in quantity. It is about refusing “ten” as finality.

The only force in the passage that does that is the wolf in the blood—the internal drive that:

refuses inherited closure,

resists stabilized interpretation,

and keeps structure from becoming obsolete by forcing it back into motion.

Life is not to be lived at level 3, but at level 10. Do you finally understand this yet?

The value in Gematria is 12833, יבף‎ל‎ג‎, epeleg, "a split, to divide."

As you can tell, I am banging on the bars of the cage, trying to split. That is because time is not on my side, and it is not on yours. Jews believe what is happening now is the same thing as what is happening tomorrow, and that is so true. To be a good Jew, you must move much faster than tomorrow or you will as the Mishnah says die in a state of baldness, obsolete, mediocre, swollen with regret. That is not for me.

I can't get one single solitary male human being to say hello to me and ask me out. I am continuously chagrined. This is not why God put me here. I am a survivor of several attempted murders and I just want to have some fun before I really die. I hope you understand. There is a wolf in my blood and he will not be silent.

Berakhot 25b: 3. "The Oracle."

The topic of the Oracle is not explored often enough. As an aspect of the Jewish supernatural, it is the last thing one wants to get into a row about with others, not when there are so many other juicy Biblical topics to fight about. The next Mishnah explains whether the Oracular should be one or not.

3. Even Rabbi Yehoshua and Dilma were afraid of being corrected. Rabbi Yochanan said: "And they corrected her by burning her with the hot coals."

Dilma means "dilemma", and burning her with hot coals clearly refers to the activation of an oracle. In Hebrew this means ברנינג הר וית הוט כולס, "the burning mountain with hot springs." Also very consistent with the onset of the clairvoyance of an oracle.

Still, should we bother with this topic?

The Value in Gematria is 5208, הרח‎‎ ‎, haresh, "the esoteric magic."

The etymology refers to people like yours truly who can hear things that are not said and see things that have no apparent material cause, via "an esoteric human information technology."

Yes, the Oracle and oracles are real, we've encountered them before they are an instrument of the Most High to help people believe. Whether or not said belief is enough to convince us to stop the goddam fucking around and change their ways, that remains to be seen. This has always been a problem. Supernatural beings apparently have faith in us, but we we do not have faith.

I pray God sends me someone soon so I can forget about you. That is the only answer I have for what troubles us. It is time to turn the faucet of this venom of disappointment the other way.

[monsooninn]

Berakhot 23b: 18. "The Pulp."

The entire Middle East and Mediterranean are shitting broken glass over the fact the Iranian Republic could not resolve its troubles before an armed response become necessary. The problem isn't this, not really, but what now? The Mishnah suggests we inquire deeply into the circumstances and conditions surrounding this situation.

18. There is no Kashya, there are its rules. There are no rules. Rav Hisda said: If a Sudra has broken his rules, let him break them, let him break them — it is forbidden for him to break them, let him

Kashya means "difficulty". The Mishnah says there are no difficulties when we follow the rules. Every pissant little child understands this. Rav Hisda, "understanding of the riddle of the enigma" and Sudra is "the way to confine or secure evil."

We are doing no such things. The planet is out of control because the governments are failing to obey the law. The consequences of these failures are affecting all 8 billion of us. When just a handful of men and women are able to change the balance of power one way or the other either by obeying or breaking the law, the Gemara says they must obey it but you will not do it.

This shit in Iran started because Donald Trump entered the White House and started fucking around. There is no other reason this happened. And he does not have the legal right to be there.

The Value in Gematria is 4500, ת‎י‎ך‎, taeetech, "your cell, your cellulose, your pulp."

The etymology explains:

The Hebrew verb תעה (ta’a), sometimes transliterated as taee, means “to wander aimlessly,” “to stagger,” or “to go astray.” It conveys the sense of moving without direction, as seen in the unsteady gait of drunkards, lost sheep, homeless people, or anyone lacking a clear purpose.

Key Details:

Verb (תעה, ta’a): Signifies wandering in confusion or error (e.g., Job 12:25; Isaiah 28:7; Ezekiel 44:10).

Noun (תועה, to’a): Refers to a wanderer or someone straying from the correct path (e.g., Isaiah 32:6).

Contextual Meaning: The term emphasizes movement without progress or direction, often carrying connotations of folly, moral error, or misunderstanding. It is related to the root concept of making mistakes in judgment, comprehension, or orientation.

= "You make too many mistakes far too often."

I don’t know what I would do if another country decided to topple what it considered our oppressive government here in America, targeting its political and religious corruption, and homes and businesses began to be bombed in an effort to neutralize the threat. As an innocent bystander and victim of that regime, I would likely be deeply distressed—especially knowing that domestic institutions could have addressed these issues long ago. I can only imagine that many Iranians experience this irony profoundly. They are once again at risk of being harmed by forces entirely external and often hostile to them—circumstances they neither invited nor deserve. That is fundamentally unjust.

What is missing from this equation is the principle known as the Responsibility to Protect. Instead of prioritizing the safety and dignity of the Iranian people, global interests often appear more focused on strategic and economic concerns, including oil. Such priorities raise serious moral and legal questions.

Iran is a nation rich in culture, history, and natural resources. There is no inherent reason its people should not flourish. Yet current tactics—shaped by corruption, power struggles, and ulterior motives—continue to undermine that possibility. The consequences of this instability do not remain contained; Israel and neighboring countries also bear the costs of ongoing turmoil.

Regime change cannot be effectively pursued in one unstable state by engaging in conflict with another unstable state that itself requires reform. That approach is strategically unsound. Durable solutions require introspection, accountability, and responsible statecraft. Without confronting underlying errors and pursuing reform through lawful and principled means, such efforts are likely to fail—ensuring that the same crisis resurfaces in the future.

History and the scholarly tradition of statecraft offer ample warning against these patterns. That is precisely why a more disciplined and principled course of action is necessary.

[monsooninn]

Berakhot 23b: 16. "How to Break Ground."

Should we? or shouldn't we? Do you know how to find out? Yourself? Without listening to a hobo or a weirdo? About this, there is, naturally a Mishnah.

16. And until you are afraid? Rav Nachman bar Yitzhak said: Until the time of blessing.

Do not be afraid. Prepare instead.

The Value in Gematria is 4315, דג‎ט״ו, daithlu, "understand how to break ground."

This is always Bereshit. God did not leave us without a guide to how to read and study the Torah, Tanakh, or Gospels. It is difficult and tedious, but it is not impossible.

Here is how to read within the Jewish religion and its Christian and Muslim franchises, just in time for Ramadan when people all around the world are supposed to learn how to read the Quran.

Hebrew has positional notation meaning each letter has a one-to-many relationship with itself. This is why the Gematria are helpful, this removes the wiggling side to side of the alphabetical characters and narrows the expression down to the bedrocks of its actual meaning.

To complete this analysis below, I did it manually instead. I took the first five verses of Genesis and create a string of Hebrew characters from these. These I turned into two syallable roots and translated these, grouping into three line stanzas, here is the result. One attempt began "We are not in the same boat." And we aren't are we? Perhaps now...

ב ראו ש ט אב ר י ל ה מ ת ח אס הם אין גו את ח, In the beginning, they are not the same as the body.

ח ער ח ח יט ח יט ח ו ב ה כ ש עץ ח על פפ ן ט ח, The tree is a tree, and the tree is a tree.

אולם איו אור וכ ה אל אה ים אם ר ח אף ת לאפ ן ים ים והו אוי עם, But there is no light and no God, if you are not careful, you will not be able to do anything.

ר ל הי מ יח יו רו י ר ו ר י ל ה מ ת ח אור כי תו בו, The world is full of wonders and wonders.

יא ויד על אל אה ים בב אין אה או ירו בי נ ח ח ש עץ ה וי קר אי, The Lord has given me the gift of the Holy Spirit, and I will give you the gift of the Holy Spirit.

אל אה ים אל אור עול עץ הש ה ח ק ר לי לא הו אוי אה אי ראו אוי אה אי וכ ר אם י ך עד, God, the sea, the light of the tree, the knowledge of the world, I have not seen it.

If we use an AI to file off the rough edges, we get a clear discipline for reading the Torah and the rest:

Here is your material reshaped into six coherent steps, preserving the symbolic tone while making the progression clear and structured:

Six Steps of Formation and Distinction

Step 1 – Beginning and Distinction

ב ראו ש ט אב ר י ל ה מ ת ח אס הם אין גו את ח In the beginning, there is differentiation. What emerges is not identical with the body. Creation implies distinction — the formed is not the same as the vessel that carries it.

Step 2 – Establishing the Structure

ח ער ח ח יט ח יט ח ו ב ה כ ש עץ ח על פפ ן ט ח The tree is established as itself. Form repeats and confirms itself. Structure becomes recognizable. A thing is a thing — identity is stabilized through repetition and rootedness.

Step 3 – Absence and Vigilance

אולם איו אור וכ ה אל אה ים אם ר ח אף ת לאפ ן ים ים והו אוי עם Where there is no light, perception fails. Where awareness is absent, the divine presence is obscured. Without care and attention, one cannot act effectively. Discernment is required for illumination.

Step 4 – Recognition of Wonder

ר ל הי מ יח יו רו י ר ו ר י ל ה מ ת ח אור כי תו בו The world is filled with layered wonders. Light reveals goodness. When perception awakens, reality is seen as abundant and purposeful.

Step 5 – Separation and Gift

יא ויד על אל אה ים בב אין אה או ירו בי נ ח ח ש עץ ה וי קר אי Distinction deepens: light is separated from darkness. What is sacred is named and entrusted. The gift of spirit and understanding is granted so that separation becomes meaningful rather than chaotic.

Step 6 – Naming and Comprehension

אל אה ים אל אור עול עץ הש ה ח ק ר לי לא הו אוי אה אי ראו אוי אה אי וכ ר אם י ך עד God, light, sea, tree, and world are named and known. Knowledge arises through encounter. What was unseen becomes perceived. Through inquiry and reflection, unity emerges from multiplicity.

Now try this with Hebrew translations of the Quran and Happy Ramadan. :)

[thebookofjeremiah]

"The Son of Thrusting." Conclusion to the Book of Jeremiah 51: 59-64.

The Book of Jeremiah ends with a way to concoct the perfect life: a mixture of Babylonia and Seraiah, "the big city marketplace and the conceptualization of the vision." Without these together, one simply cannot understand what it means to be a Jew.

Jeremiah's Message Is Sent to Babylonia

59 King Zedekiah's personal attendant was Seraiah, the son of Neriah and grandson of Mahseiah. In the fourth year that Zedekiah was king of Judah, Seraiah was going to Babylonia with him, and I gave him some instructions. 60 I wrote in a book an account of all the destruction that would come on Babylonia, as well as all these other things about Babylonia. 61 I told Seraiah, “When you get to Babylon, be sure to read aloud to the people everything that is written here. 62 Then pray, ‘Lord, you have said that you would destroy this place, so that there would be no living creatures in it, neither people nor animals, and it would be like a desert forever.’ 63 Seraiah, when you finish reading this book to the people, then tie it to a rock and throw it into the Euphrates River 64 and say, ‘This is what will happen to Babylonia—it will sink and never rise again because of the destruction that the Lord is going to bring on it.’”[c]

The words of Jeremiah end here.

Verse 59

Text Summary: Seraiah, Zedekiah’s attendant, is sent to Babylon with instructions.

Key Roots & Interpretation

מלך (Melech) – King → “authority / structure”

Zedekiah embodies human order that supports the mission of moral knowledge.

שר (Sar) – Officer / Leader → “agent of divine knowledge”

Seraiah is the one who carries and transmits understanding.

לבב (Levav) – Heart / understanding → “internal comprehension”

Instructions are not just external—they require internalization.

New Insight: The human agents are conduits for deciphered knowledge, not just political actions.

Verse 60

Text Summary: Jeremiah writes in a book all the “destruction” coming to Babylon.

Key Roots & Interpretation

ספר (Sefer) – Book / record → “encoded wisdom / knowledge to be deciphered”

חרב (Charvah) – Destruction → “deciphering hidden meaning”

בבל (Bavel) – Babylon → “confusion / moral chaos”

New Insight: Writing the prophecy is encoding knowledge; Babylon represents the chaotic mind or society that must decode and learn.

Verse 61

Text Summary: Read the book aloud to the people in Babylon.

Key Roots & Interpretation

קרא (Kara) – Read / call / proclaim → “transmit knowledge for comprehension”

פנה (Punah / al-penei) – Face / confront → “knowledge faces the recipient”

New Insight: Reading aloud ensures the deciphered knowledge sinks in—it confronts the listener’s mind directly.

Verse 62

Text Summary: Pray to God acknowledging the prophecy that no life will remain.

Key Roots & Interpretation

חיה (Chayah) – Life → “living understanding / active insight”

נפש (Nefesh) – Soul / being → “depth of consciousness receiving the knowledge”

מדבר (Midbar) – Desert → “emptiness / blank canvas for knowledge to be internalized”

חרבה (Charvah – “destruction”) → “deciphering”

New Insight: The prophecy indicates that deciphered knowledge removes previous confusion, leaving the mind ready for internalization.

Verse 63

Text Summary: Tie the book to a rock and throw it into the Euphrates.

Key Roots & Interpretation

קשר (Kashar) – Tie / bind → “anchor knowledge firmly”

סלע (Sela) – Rock → “stable foundation for learning”

זרק (Zarak) – Throw / cast → “knowledge sinks in”

פרת (Perat – Euphrates) → “flowing awareness / fertile environment for insight”

New Insight: The act of throwing the scroll into the river symbolizes the knowledge embedding itself deeply in collective consciousness, not literal destruction.

Verse 64

Text Summary: “This is what will happen to Babylon—it will sink and never rise again.”

Key Roots & Interpretation

שקע / טבל (Sink) → “knowledge sinks in and is fully absorbed”

קום (Rise) → “emergence of new understanding”

חרבה (Charvah – Destruction) → “deciphering completed”

New Insight: Babylon’s “fall” represents full internalization of the deciphered knowledge, which cannot be undone. The moral lesson and understanding remain permanently.

Overall Root Patterns – Reinterpreted

Authority / Agents (מלך, שר) → Structures / people needed to deliver knowledge.

Communication / Recording (ספר, קרא) → Wisdom encoded and transmitted; deciphering occurs through reading.

Life / Internalization (חיה, נפש, לבב) → Living understanding is activated as knowledge sinks in.

Destruction / Deciphering (חרב) → Revealing hidden truths; removing confusion.

Sinking / Throwing (שקע, זרק) → Knowledge embedding itself in consciousness.

Moral Finality / Internalization (קום, מדבר) → Once internalized, the lesson cannot rise as confusion again.

✅ Summary (with new lens)

Babylon = an interstate mind or society, one rife with opportunity and also deep corruption.

Scroll / prophecy = encoded wisdom / moral truths.

Destruction = deciphering and moral revelation.

Throwing into the river / sinking = knowledge is fully internalized.

Result = Babylon should rise again, provided the moral lesson remains permanent.

The Values in Gematria are:

Jeremiah's Message Is Sent to Babylonia=2065, ב׳‎סה‎ , bemsa, "run, travel, make a move, go on a journey."

For v. 59-64, the Number is 24228, בידבך , bidbach, "in the kitchen, with the Son of Thrusting."

"The noun בן (ben) means son, or more general: a member of one particular social or economic node — called a "house", which is built upon the instructions of one אב ('ab), or "father" — within in a larger economy (hence: the "sons of the prophet" are the members of the prophet-class; the prophets). This noun obviously resembles the verb בנה (bana), to build, and the noun אבן ('eben), stone.

Our noun's feminine version, namely בת (bat), means daughter, which resembles the noun בית (bayit), meaning house. Sometimes our noun is contracted into a single letter ב, whose name beth comes from בית (bayit) and means "house" as well. As a prefix, the letter ב (be) means "in." The word for mother, אם ('em), is highly similar to that of tribe or people, אמה ('umma).

The verb דקר (daqar) means to pierce or thrust a person fatally through with a sword or spear, or figuratively with hunger. Noun מדקרה (madqara) means a piercing."

So the grand finale of the Gemara is "take a trip to the kitchen with the boy with the big dick." You like? I like.

The Final Gemara is ב׳‎סהבידבך, bem‎sahabidbach, "To be surrounded by him."

I do not know how to do the opposite gender version delicately, how is "to be surrounded by the woman with the big tits?"

The goal of the Gemara then is "your mother's house" except this time it is your house. This is not an unfabulous way to conclude one's understanding of life with an achievable and wholesome vision that completes the Torah and also this book.

Thus ends a most splendid Midrash on the Book of Jeremiah, "The Lessons in the Grammar of the Jewish Religion" contained in the Holy Tanakh.
