Musar sur L’Exode 15:11
מִֽי־כָמֹ֤כָה בָּֽאֵלִם֙ יְהוָ֔ה מִ֥י כָּמֹ֖כָה נֶאְדָּ֣ר בַּקֹּ֑דֶשׁ נוֹרָ֥א תְהִלֹּ֖ת עֹ֥שֵׂה פֶֽלֶא׃
Qui t’égale parmi les forts, Éternel? Qui est, comme toi, paré de sainteté; inaccessible à la louange, fécond en merveilles?
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
We have a tradition that in this prayer Jacob invoked a number of G–d's Holy Names. The words כי במקלי, when split into כ-י-ב-מ, are an allusion to the name מכבי which amounts to 72, or the same number as the Ineffable Name spelled as words (יוד-הי-ויו-הי) That name of G–d is derived from the respective first letters in the verse: מי כמוך בא-לים י-ה-ו-ה, Next we have the letters קלי, which are the respective first letters of the verse: לישועתך קויתי י-ה-ו-ה.
