耶利米書 31:8 猶太思想：Kol HaTor

(Jer. 31:8) “with entreaties I will lead them” -- The word , which appears in the verse “weeping they will come and with entreaties I will lead them” etc., has the same numerical value in gematria as (566). The verse concludes with “Efraim is my firstborn, ” referring to Mashiach ben Yosef. “With entreaties, ” in order to atone for the sin noted in “when he entreated us, we did not listen.” In the holy Zohar we find that the word in gematria equals [34]. (See below, 27, regarding the aspect, “I was brought low, and He saved me”).

60. (Jer. 31:16) “there is hope regarding your end... and your children will return to their border” -- The entire Psalm, particularly from the verse beginning “behold I am bringing you from the North” was said about Mashiach ben Yosef and the ingathering of the exiles. Four traits of Efraim are mentioned in the Psalm (as explained above in 1 on “Efraim is My firstborn”), and all of them are from the aspect of Yosef ben Rachel, which means when the awakening comes from below until the final level of 999 in the sefira Yesod, which is divided into two: 499 1/2 on the left, the quality of Din; and 499 1/2 on the right, the quality of Lovingkindness. This is the meaning of “the smallest will become a thousand...” as explained above. Then the number 1000 will be completed on both sides when there will be [] 500 in vau, and [] 500 in heh. This is what is meant by.
