(Jer. 32:12) Neriah -- This is one of the names of Mashiach ben Yosef. In gematria equals [265]. See below (#96) from the aspect of the revealed book. Likewise, the verse (Ps. 132:17) “I have prepared a lamp for My anointed.”

The unsealed deed in Anatot” (Jer. 32) -- The two deeds mentioned in this chapter refer to the two meshichim. The open deed refers to Mashiach ben Yosef who is from the aspect of the revealed world . This is the mystery of the revealed end mentioned by our Sages. The sealed deed is from the aspect of Mashiach ben Dav id from the aspect of the h idden world . The unsealed deed is related to the four aspects o f Efraim as noted above (#1) in the discussion o f the aspect “ Efraim is My firstborn” and this is the intention of the revealed end.

THE term ‘amad (he stood) is a homonym signifying in the first instance “to stand upright,” as “When he stood (be-‘omdo) before Pharaoh” (Gen. 41:46); “Though Moses and Samuel stood (ya‘amod)” (Jer. 15:1); “He stood by them” (Gen. 18:8). It further denotes “cessation and interruption,” as “but they stood still (‘amedu) and answered no more” (Job 32:16); “and she ceased (va-ta‘amod) to bear” (Gen. 29:35). Next it signifies “to be enduring and lasting,” as, “that they may continue (yo‘amedu) many days” (Jer. 32:14); “Then shalt thou be able to endure (‘amod)” (Exod. 18:23); “His taste remained (‘amad) in him” (Jer. 48:11), i.e., it has continued and remained in existence without any change: “His righteousness standeth for ever” (Ps. 111:3), i.e., it is permanent and everlasting. The verb applied to God must be understood in this latter sense, as in Zechariah 14:4, “And his feet shall stand (ve-‘amedu) in that day upon the Mount of Olives” (Zech. 14:4), “His causes, i.e., the events of which He is the cause, will remain efficient,” etc. This will be further elucidated when we speak of the meaning of regel (foot). (Vide infra, chap. xxviii.) In the same sense is this verb employed in Deuteronomy 5:28, “But as for thee, stand thou here by me,” and Deuteronomy 5:5, “I stood between the Lord and you.”
