3332

It's been 3332 years since Yetziat Mitzrayim.

There are 5 pesukim with that gematria (thanks to sodtorah):

1) Bereishit 12:16:
ולאברם היטיב בעבורה ויהי לו צאן ובקר וחמרים ועבדים ושפחת ואתנת וגמלים

2) Bereishit 28:1:
ויקרא יצחק אל יעקב ויברך אתו ויצוהו ויאמר לו לא תקח אשה מבנות כנען

3) Shofetim 21:8:
ויאמרו מי אחד משבטי ישראל אשר לא עלה אל יהוה המצפה והנה לא בא איש אל המחנה מיביש גלעד אל הקהל

4) Yoel 1:2:
שמעו זאת הזקנים והאזינו כל יושבי הארץ ההיתה זאת בימיכם ואם בימי אבתיכם

5) Kohelet 3:6:
עת לבקש ועת לאבד עת לשמור ועת להשליך


#1 is the verse that shows the מעשה אבות סימן לבנים (the actions of the forefathers is a sign for their descendants) whereby since Avraham received a great monetary reward from Pharaoh, later generations during the Exodus were to also receive a great monetary reward from Egypt upon leaving.  In turn, the righteous will receive a great monetary reward when Mashiah comes.

#2 is Yitzhak Avinu's blessing to Yaakov Avinu.  Perhaps, we can say that we only receive the blessing of being redeemed when we don't intermarry and assimilate with the nations.

#3 occurred during a difficult period in Jewish history: Pilegesh Begiv'ah.  Perhaps, it's telling us that just as no one from Yavesh Gil'ad came, similarly, nowadays, no one can come to Hashem and to the Kahal of the synagogue or any other gathering during the coronavirus plague.

#4 was Yo'el talking about a different plague of locusts.  Has there ever been such a plague in your lifetimes or fathers' lifetimes?  Indeed there has not.

#5 is perhaps telling us that there are times for everything.  There are times to come to the synagogue and seek Hashem.  There are other times where we must abandon that thought (like nowadays).  There are times where we must guard our customs of going to synagogue and keeping the schools and Yeshivot open.  There are other times where we must throw that idea away (like nowadays).





Here's a partial list of other partial pesukim from Tanach with the gematria of 3332 along with my commentary:

Bereishit 2:3:
ויברך אלהים את יום השביעי ויקדש אתו כי בו שבת מכל מלאכתו אשר ברא אלהים לעשות

We are approaching the 7th millennium.  (See the Ramban on this verse.)

Shemot 10:23:
לא ראו איש את אחיו ולא קמו איש מתחתיו שלשת ימים ולכל בני ישראל היה אור במושבתם

Notice the word "לא" is not in the gematria since we can still see people via Zoom and other media.  But we still cannot go anywhere.  The "3" is still up in the air.  So far, it's 3 weeks.  Will it be 3 months?  Hashem Ya'azor.

Devarim 4:15:
ונשמרתם מאד לנפשתיכם כי לא ראיתם כל תמונה ביום דבר יהוה אליכם בחרב מתוך האש

We have to take care of our health at this time like never before.  This is because we have not yet seen any picture of the cure for coronavirus that has seen the light of day (i.e. accepted by a broad medical consensus).

Devarim 4:32:
כי שאל נא לימים ראשנים אשר היו לפניך למן היום אשר ברא אלהים אדם על הארץ ולמקצה השמים ועד קצה השמים הנהיה כדבר הגדול הזה או הנשמע כמהו

See verse #4 above.

Devarim 28: 45:
ובאו עליך כל הקללות האלה ורדפוך והשיגוך עד השמדך כי לא שמעת בקול יהוה אלהיך לשמר מצותיו וחקתיו אשר צוך

Ad Velo Ad Bichlal.  May we learn our lesson and keep the Torah.

Melachim Alef 8:65:
ויעש שלמה בעת ההיא את החג וכל ישראל עמו קהל גדול מלבוא חמת עד נחל מצרים לפני יהוה אלהינו שבעת ימים ושבעת ימים ארבעה עשר יום

Instead of a 14-day celebration like King Solomon had, many now have to be in isolation for 14 days within our מיצרים while celebrating 7 days of Pesah (in Israel).

Yeshaya 52:1:
עורי עורי לבשי עזך ציון לבשי בגדי תפארתך ירושלם עיר הקדש כי לא יוסיף יבא בך עוד ערל וטמא

Now that there are no public prayers on Har Habayit for the first time, it is a time of purity and an opportunity exists for the 3rd Beit Hamikdash to descend.

Yeshaya 61:3:
לשום לאבלי ציון לתת להם פאר תחת אפר שמן ששון תחת אבל מעטה תהלה תחת רוח כהה וקרא להם אילי הצדק מטע יהוה להתפאר

The main coronavirus restrictions occurred during Parashat Parah.  We received the coronavirus (Pe'er = corona) instead of the ashes of the Parah Aduma.  May our mourning cease and may we be joyous again.

Yirmiya 3:14:
שובו בנים שובבים נאם יהוה כי אנכי בעלתי בכם ולקחתי אתכם אחד מעיר ושנים ממשפחה והבאתי אתכם ציון

We need to do Teshuva quickly before Hashem takes more of us.

Zecharia 12:10:
ושפכתי על בית דויד ועל יושב ירושלם רוח חן ותחנונים והביטו אלי את אשר דקרו וספדו עליו כמספד על היחיד והמר עליו כהמר על הבכור

There have לא עלינו been many great rabbis and other great people taken from us from this virus. Each one could be considered as great as MBY. But there were actually very few people physically present at the funerals of these great people. Mere יחידים for יחידי סגולה.

Zecharia 14:4:
ועמדו רגליו ביום ההוא על הר הזתים אשר על פני ירושלם מקדם ונבקע הר הזיתים מחציו מזרחה וימה גיא גדולה מאד ומש חצי ההר צפונה וחציו נגבה

May the great earthquake come soon.

Esther 4:3:
ובכל מדינה ומדינה מקום אשר דבר המלך ודתו מגיע אבל גדול ליהודים וצום ובכי ומספד שק ואפר יצע לרבים

The Jewish people are in mourning right now, just like during the time of Esther. Just as the beginning of the salvation at that time occurred over Pesah, may the beginning of our salvation occur over Pesah.

Divrei Hayamim Bet 18:16:
ויאמר ראיתי את כל ישראל נפוצים על ההרים כצאן אשר אין להן רעה ויאמר יהוה לא אדנים לאלה ישובו איש לביתו בשלום

We have lost so many great leaders.  We are like sheep without a shepherd.  We need Mashiah.

Divrei Hayamim Bet 32:9:
אחר זה שלח סנחריב מלך אשור עבדיו ירושלימה והוא על לכיש וכל ממשלתו עמו על יחזקיהו מלך יהודה ועל כל יהודה אשר בירושלם לאמר

Sanheriv fighting against Yerushalayim was supposed to be Gog Umagog and King Hizkiya was supposed to be Mashiah. Just as Hashem made a giant miracle by defeating Sanheriv and his 185,000 officers along with their men on the Seder night, Hashem should also defeat the coronavirus and bring us our Final Redemption on this Leil Shimurim. Amen.

Anonymous, I considered that, but the post was long enough as it is. If I would have added translation, it would have been too long.

Anyone who wants to see the translation can find resources on the web for the translation of these Pesukim as I provided the chapter and verse.

And I don't appreciate your tone. I am open to criticism, but I would appreciate respectful criticism - not statements in all caps or phrases like "You blew it."

Thank you.

An anonymous commenter wrote (I removed the last line of the comment):

Some additions on my part:

Paragraph 3 saw a huge parallel with the dishonor that Rabbi Eliezer Berland and no one protested against. We are suffering for that very reason.

About Yeshaya 52: 1:
It reminded me of your post from days ago about this. It would be interesting that someone who lives in Har Habayit film all night, it could be that something fantastic happens in the Heavens, "maybe a UFO", it would be interesting.

Zechariah 12:10:
I just noticed a parallel here with a post I saw on the Shirat Devorah Blog. All of these rabbis who died are anointed, working and giving their lives for Judaism abroad.

well I think its great, thank you. I'll take the 3 week option but 3 months is do-able if that's what it takes.

what does he mean ''annointed''? They were Gedolim ?

Great work YY, thank you. You are very much appreciated by those who understand.
Wishing you and your family a Chag Aviv Kasher V'Bruit

I was think that myself this morning, perhaps the Rabbis that passed and now in Shamayim are working for us, to help those who are left behind. They continue their holy work.

Rabbi Yehuda Leib 'Leibel' Groner, secretary of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, dies of coronavirus.
NOW I know that these Rabbis are working for us in Shamayim. Rabbi Groner zt”l was a tireless fighter for humanity.

Very interesting. Thanks!

חג כשר ושמח! ויהיה לנו סוף וקץ לגלותנו!

A Kosher and Happy Passover to us all. And may we have the end of our exile!
