Nu, what about you?

Now, if the Jewish world can accept that King David prophetically composed Psalm 22 for lonely Queen Esther, for her to have a little something to sing and pray while completely isolated from her people...

It means that King David -- a mere mortal -- had somehow reached beyond ordinary time, by riding on a whole other wavelength of perception entirely.

And of course, for Abraham's God to be the Creator of all time, means that there's no competition. He can do with time what He wants, which from an earthy perspective may flip the natural order to its seeming opposite. Clockwise, or counterclockwise. All the same, really. It depends if the view is from above, or from below.

One day I got to thinking about Joseph, and the spiritual concept that "it all depends on the mother". How did Joseph end up being the big dreamer of the family? Even such that he had been dispatched [from above] in order to engineer (reverse-engineer) a great deliverance?

Mothers, and their lullabies. They come so naturally. Rachel was prevented from singing a single lullaby to Benjamin, but to Joseph... she could sing her heart out:

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

I've been inspired by the little flock of bluebirds that have been visiting daily for the past several months, even though this place is supposedly outside of their winter range.

Then sure enough, I found this, without even looking for it...

Background of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" 1939
The music was written by Harold Arlen, a cantor's son. His real name was Hyman Arluck and his parents were from Lithuania.
Together, Hochberg and Arluck wrote "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," which was voted the 20th century's number one song by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). In writing it, the two men reached deep into their immigrant Jewish consciousness - framed by the pogroms of the past and the looming Holocaust about to happen - and wrote an unforgettable melody set to near prophetic words
Read the lyrics in their Jewish context and suddenly the words are no longer about wizards and Oz, but about Jewish survival...

Rachel had named her second son Benoni. But then for some reason... Benoni disappeared from Earthly existence right along with his mother. That's 3576 years worth of lullabies..

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Come on, if I weren't persona non grata, I'd be doing it wrong! Have a heart. It's a musical.

When the Angels visited Avraham they inquired "Where is Sarah your wife?" He replied "Hineih b'ohel" -- "Behold [she is] in the tent" (Bereishit 18:9). Avraham implied it is inappropriate for a woman to leave the confines of her home. Hence, the Israelite woman, undoubtedly, emulated this dignified behavior, and thus, the woman of Amon and Moab cannot be faulted for not greeting them with bread and water, since they were unaware that the Jewish women were journeying together with the men.
>>>
The acronym of these 8 pesukim [that don't begin with the letter vav] spells the words "Yish'ee b'ohel" (ישעי באהל) -- "My salvation is in the tent," i.e., from Avraham's saying that Jewish woman should be b'ohel -- within the confines of the tent -- proof was derived that Moabite women who convert are not forbidden to enter into marriage with Jewish men. Consequently, David says, "Yish'ee -- my salvation -- comes from Avraham's saying that Sarah is b'ohel -- in the tent. Thanks to his words, Boaz was permitted to marry Ruth, and I am thus halachically qualified to be the head of the Davidic dynasty and the ancestor of Mashiach."

11. And Samuel said to Jesse, Are here all your children? And he said, There remains still the youngest, and, behold, he keeps the sheep; And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit down till he comes here:
12. And he sent, and brought him in; And he was red haired, with beautiful eyes, and good looking; And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he:

Somewhere along the way I got the vibe that Joseph's coat "of many colors" was a coat of light -- here, there, and everywhere -- but if that's the case, additive colors or subtractive colors? He seems like the type who could paint with them all, because "Joseph holds the key to not only Jacob's but the family's ission.."

= 1060 =

צבעים חיבוריים וצבעים חיסוריים

"additive colors and subtractive colors"

The first place the sum of 1060 appears in the Torah is the beginning of verse 5:

5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness [ויקרא אלהים לאור יום ולחשך] he called Night; And there was evening and there was morning, one day:

You know what they say, what = 1060:

"All roads lead to light."

It turns out that "Yinon" is a mathematical equation: נון x י

10 x 106:

If we break the word "Yinon" into two -- yud and nun -- nun means kingship, and putting a yud before a word denotes continuity.¹⁷ Therefore, the name Yinon implies that the kingship of Mashiach will endure forever.

One day I had wondered what the browser's "Translate to English" would do to Psalm 72:17, and this is what it told me:

May His name be forever before the sun of Yinon His name, and may all nations approve of Him.
