I am not schooled in Gematria, but it IS interesting!

[Ezekiel]

I include the Hebrew spelling so that anyone can check/compare a gematria chart, or copy/paste a Hebrew word into a search engine for verification and/or further study. Much has been written about the day of national atonement (Yom Kippur) being "like Purim".

That is, starting with the word play on the root for atonement K-P-R, and the words Pur and the pl. Purim, because the first letter of kippur, kippurim, is also a prefix preposition meaning like, as, for, because.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Sort of like saying, God created "up" and "down". :)
