Some of you may know that there are 5,845 verses in the Hebrew Torah(according to Stone edition count). Some scholars have associated each verse with a hint to the Jewish years which correspond with these numbers. We are now beginning the Jewish year 5779. This places us in these years with the famous Song of Moses in parsha HaaZinu of chapter 32 in the fifth book of Torah, Devarim/Deuteronomy. After a lot of study and contemplation of these matters my conclusions are that the verse 28 of chapter 31 in Devarim/Deuteronomy correctly corresponded to the year 5750/1990 and the beginning of the redemptive era. This year is mentioned in the Zohar as a very special year. The translation of this verse reads,"Gather to me all the elders of your tribes and officers, and I shall speak these words into their ears and call heaven and Earth to bear witness..." Then the song proper begins in the next chapter 32/Lev(heart).
What I present here is something a little different than usual commentaries. It does not involve as much the specific meanings of the verses as it does the simple count of the holiest of names. There is written the most sacred name of HaShem/God- YHVH precisely SEVEN times in the song. This very year 5779 which corresponds to the verse 27(chapter32) of the song is the SIXTH mention of the name YHVH. It appears this may mean that we have entered a new phase of the redemptive process to bring about a world of Peace. That is my prayer anyhow! The last and SEVENTH mention of the name-YHVH is in the verse corresponding to the year 5788. Remember the Rashbi in the Sepher HaZohar explains that the last forty years of history as we know it would run from 5750 to 5790 by which year the global soul awakening called Techiyas HaMetim(enlivening of the "dead")will become evident to many people. It is said that our present generation of Yisrael has a symmetry with the generation of Mt.Sinai who wandered for forty years in the wilderness before entering the Holy Land of great promise. (please let me know if you also find the SEVEN mentions of the name HaShem-YHVH to corroborate my count in case I missed anything)The following is the entire Song from Haazinu:"Deuteronomy Chapter 32 דְּבָרִים
א הַאֲזִינוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם, וַאֲדַבֵּרָה; {ס} וְתִשְׁמַע הָאָרֶץ, אִמְרֵי-פִי. {ר} 1 Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
ב יַעֲרֹף כַּמָּטָר לִקְחִי, {ס} תִּזַּל כַּטַּל אִמְרָתִי, {ר} כִּשְׂעִירִם עֲלֵי-דֶשֶׁא, {ס} וְכִרְבִיבִים עֲלֵי-עֵשֶׂב. {ר} 2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew; as the small rain upon the tender grass, and as the showers upon the herb.
ג כִּי שֵׁם יְהוָה, אֶקְרָא: {ס} הָבוּ גֹדֶל, לֵאלֹהֵינוּ. {ר} 3 For I will proclaim the name of the LORD; ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
ד הַצּוּר תָּמִים פָּעֳלוֹ, {ס} כִּי כָל-דְּרָכָיו מִשְׁפָּט: {ר} אֵל אֱמוּנָה וְאֵין עָוֶל, {ס} צַדִּיק וְיָשָׁר הוּא. {ר} 4 The Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice; a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is He.
ה שִׁחֵת לוֹ לֹא, בָּנָיו מוּמָם: {ס} דּוֹר עִקֵּשׁ, וּפְתַלְתֹּל. {ר} 5 Is corruption His? No; His children's is the blemish; a generation crooked and perverse.
ו הַ לְיְהוָה, תִּגְמְלוּ-זֹאת-- {ס} עַם נָבָל, וְלֹא חָכָם: {ר} הֲלוֹא-הוּא אָבִיךָ קָּנֶךָ, {ס} הוּא עָשְׂךָ וַיְכֹנְנֶךָ. {ר} 6 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not He thy father that hath gotten thee? hath He not made thee, and established thee?
ז זְכֹר יְמוֹת עוֹלָם, בִּינוּ שְׁנוֹת דֹּר-וָדֹר; {ס} שְׁאַל אָבִיךָ וְיַגֵּדְךָ, זְקֵנֶיךָ וְיֹאמְרוּ לָךְ. {ר} 7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations; ask thy father, and he will declare unto thee, thine elders, and they will tell thee.
ח בְּהַנְחֵל עֶלְיוֹן גּוֹיִם, {ס} בְּהַפְרִידוֹ בְּנֵי אָדָם; {ר} יַצֵּב גְּבֻלֹת עַמִּים, {ס} לְמִסְפַּר בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל. {ר} 8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the children of men, He set the borders of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.
ט כִּי חֵלֶק יְהוָה, עַמּוֹ: {ס} יַעֲקֹב, חֶבֶל נַחֲלָתוֹ. {ר} 9 For the portion of the LORD is His people, Jacob the lot of His inheritance.
י יִמְצָאֵהוּ בְּאֶרֶץ מִדְבָּר, {ס} וּבְתֹהוּ יְלֵל יְשִׁמֹן; {ר} יְסֹבְבֶנְהוּ, יְבוֹנְנֵהוּ-- {ס} יִצְּרֶנְהוּ, כְּאִישׁוֹן עֵינוֹ. {ר} 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste, a howling wilderness; He compassed him about, He cared for him, He kept him as the apple of His eye.
יא כְּנֶשֶׁר יָעִיר קִנּוֹ, עַל-גּוֹזָלָיו יְרַחֵף; {ס} יִפְרֹשׂ כְּנָפָיו יִקָּחֵהוּ, יִשָּׂאֵהוּ עַל-אֶבְרָתוֹ. {ר} 11 As an eagle that stirreth up her nest, hovereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her pinions--
יב יְהוָה, בָּדָד יַנְחֶנּוּ; {ס} וְאֵין עִמּוֹ, אֵל נֵכָר. {ר} 12 The LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with Him.
יג יַרְכִּבֵהוּ עַל-במותי (בָּמֳתֵי) אָרֶץ, {ס} וַיֹּאכַל תְּנוּבֹת שָׂדָי; {ר} וַיֵּנִקֵהוּ דְבַשׁ מִסֶּלַע, {ס} וְשֶׁמֶן מֵחַלְמִישׁ צוּר. {ר} 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, and he did eat the fruitage of the field; and He made him to suck honey out of the crag, and oil out of the flinty rock;
יד חֶמְאַת בָּקָר וַחֲלֵב צֹאן, {ס} עִם-חֵלֶב כָּרִים וְאֵילִים {ר} בְּנֵי-בָשָׁן וְעַתּוּדִים, {ס} עִם-חֵלֶב, כִּלְיוֹת חִטָּה; {ר} וְדַם-עֵנָב, תִּשְׁתֶּה-חָמֶר. {ס} 14 Curd of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, with the kidney-fat of wheat; and of the blood of the grape thou drankest foaming wine.
טו וַיִּשְׁמַן יְשֻׁרוּן וַיִּבְעָט, {ר} שָׁמַנְתָּ עָבִיתָ כָּשִׂיתָ; {ס} וַיִּטֹּשׁ אֱלוֹהַּ עָשָׂהוּ, {ר} וַיְנַבֵּל צוּר יְשֻׁעָתוֹ. {ס} 15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked--thou didst wax fat, thou didst grow thick, thou didst become gross--and he forsook God who made him, and contemned the Rock of his salvation.
טז יַקְנִאֻהוּ, בְּזָרִים; {ר} בְּתוֹעֵבֹת, יַכְעִיסֻהוּ. {ס} 16 They roused Him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations did they provoke Him.
יז יִזְבְּחוּ, לַשֵּׁדִים לֹא אֱלֹהַּ-- {ר} אֱלֹהִים, לֹא יְדָעוּם; {ס} חֲדָשִׁים מִקָּרֹב בָּאוּ, {ר} לֹא שְׂעָרוּם אֲבֹתֵיכֶם. {ס} 17 They sacrificed unto demons, no-gods, gods that they knew not, new gods that came up of late, which your fathers dreaded not.
יח צוּר יְלָדְךָ, תֶּשִׁי; {ר} וַתִּשְׁכַּח, אֵל מְחֹלְלֶךָ. {ס} 18 Of the Rock that begot thee thou wast unmindful, and didst forget God that bore thee.
יט וַיַּרְא יְהוָה, וַיִּנְאָץ, {ר} מִכַּעַס בָּנָיו, וּבְנֹתָיו. {ס} 19 And the LORD saw, and spurned, because of the provoking of His sons and His daughters.
כ וַיֹּאמֶר, אַסְתִּירָה פָנַי מֵהֶם-- {ר} אֶרְאֶה, מָה אַחֲרִיתָם: {ס} כִּי דוֹר תַּהְפֻּכֹת הֵמָּה, {ר} בָּנִים לֹא-אֵמֻן בָּם. {ס} 20 And He said: 'I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.
כא הֵם קִנְאוּנִי בְלֹא-אֵל, {ר} כִּעֲסוּנִי בְּהַבְלֵיהֶם; {ס} וַאֲנִי אַקְנִיאֵם בְּלֹא-עָם, {ר} בְּגוֹי נָבָל אַכְעִיסֵם. {ס} 21 They have roused Me to jealousy with a no-god; they have provoked Me with their vanities; and I will rouse them to jealousy with a no-people; I will provoke them with a vile nation.
כב כִּי-אֵשׁ קָדְחָה בְאַפִּי, {ר} וַתִּיקַד עַד-שְׁאוֹל תַּחְתִּית; {ס} וַתֹּאכַל אֶרֶץ וִיבֻלָהּ, {ר} וַתְּלַהֵט מוֹסְדֵי הָרִים. {ס} 22 For a fire is kindled in My nostril, and burneth unto the depths of the nether-world, and devoureth the earth with her produce, and setteth ablaze the foundations of the mountains.
כג אַסְפֶּה עָלֵימוֹ, רָעוֹת; {ר} חִצַּי, אֲכַלֶּה-בָּם. {ס} 23 I will heap evils upon them; I will spend Mine arrows upon them;
כד מְזֵי רָעָב וּלְחֻמֵי רֶשֶׁף, {ר} וְקֶטֶב מְרִירִי; {ס} וְשֶׁן-בְּהֵמֹת, אֲשַׁלַּח-בָּם, {ר} עִם-חֲמַת, זֹחֲלֵי עָפָר. {ס} 24 The wasting of hunger, and the devouring of the fiery bolt, and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts will I send upon them, with the venom of crawling things of the dust.
כה מִחוּץ, תְּשַׁכֶּל-חֶרֶב, וּמֵחֲדָרִים, אֵימָה; גַּם-בָּחוּר, {ר} גַּם-בְּתוּלָה--יוֹנֵק, עִם-אִישׁ שֵׂיבָה. {ס} 25 Without shall the sword bereave, and in the chambers terror; slaying both young man and virgin, the suckling with the man of gray hairs.
כו אָמַרְתִּי, אַפְאֵיהֶם; {ר} אַשְׁבִּיתָה מֵאֱנוֹשׁ, זִכְרָם. {ס} 26 I thought I would make an end of them, I would make their memory cease from among men;
כז לוּלֵי, כַּעַס אוֹיֵב אָגוּר-- {ר} פֶּן-יְנַכְּרוּ, צָרֵימוֹ: {ס} פֶּן-יֹאמְרוּ יָדֵנוּ רָמָה, {ר} וְלֹא יְהוָה פָּעַל כָּל-זֹאת. {ס} 27 Were it not that I dreaded the enemy's provocation, lest their adversaries should misdeem, lest they should say: Our hand is exalted, and not the LORD hath wrought all this.'
כח כִּי-גוֹי אֹבַד עֵצוֹת, הֵמָּה; {ר} וְאֵין בָּהֶם, תְּבוּנָה. {ס} 28 For they are a nation void of counsel, and there is no understanding in them.
כט לוּ חָכְמוּ, יַשְׂכִּילוּ זֹאת; {ר} יָבִינוּ, לְאַחֲרִיתָם. {ס} 29 If they were wise, they would understand this, they would discern their latter end.
ל אֵיכָה יִרְדֹּף אֶחָד, אֶלֶף, {ר} וּשְׁנַיִם, יָנִיסוּ רְבָבָה: {ס} אִם-לֹא כִּי-צוּרָם מְכָרָם, {ר} וַיהוָה הִסְגִּירָם. {ס} 30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had given them over and the LORD had delivered them up?
לא כִּי לֹא כְצוּרֵנוּ, צוּרָם; {ר} וְאֹיְבֵינוּ, פְּלִילִים. {ס} 31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
לב כִּי-מִגֶּפֶן סְדֹם גַּפְנָם, {ר} וּמִשַּׁדְמֹת עֲמֹרָה: {ס} עֲנָבֵמוֹ, עִנְּבֵי-רוֹשׁ-- {ר} אַשְׁכְּלֹת מְרֹרֹת, לָמוֹ. {ס} 32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter;
לג חֲמַת תַּנִּינִם, יֵינָם; {ר} וְרֹאשׁ פְּתָנִים, אַכְזָר. {ס} 33 Their wine is the venom of serpents, and the cruel poison of asps.
לד הֲלֹא-הוּא, כָּמֻס עִמָּדִי; {ר} חָתוּם, בְּאוֹצְרֹתָי. {ס} 34 'Is not this laid up in store with Me, sealed up in My treasuries?
לה לִי נָקָם וְשִׁלֵּם, {ר} לְעֵת תָּמוּט רַגְלָם: {ס} כִּי קָרוֹב יוֹם אֵידָם, {ר} וְחָשׁ עֲתִדֹת לָמוֹ. {ס} 35 Vengeance is Mine, and recompense, against the time when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.
לו כִּי-יָדִין יְהוָה עַמּוֹ, {ר} וְעַל-עֲבָדָיו יִתְנֶחָם: {ס} כִּי יִרְאֶה כִּי-אָזְלַת יָד, {ר} וְאֶפֶס עָצוּר וְעָזוּב. {ס} 36 For the LORD will judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants; when He seeth that their stay is gone, and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.
לז וְאָמַר, אֵי אֱלֹהֵימוֹ-- {ר} צוּר, חָסָיוּ בוֹ. {ס} 37 And it is said: Where are their gods, the rock in whom they trusted;
לח אֲשֶׁר חֵלֶב זְבָחֵימוֹ יֹאכֵלוּ, {ר} יִשְׁתּוּ יֵין נְסִיכָם; {ס} יָקוּמוּ, וְיַעְזְרֻכֶם-- {ר} יְהִי עֲלֵיכֶם, סִתְרָה. {ס} 38 Who did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink-offering? let him rise up and help you, let him be your protection.
לט רְאוּ עַתָּה, כִּי אֲנִי אֲנִי הוּא, {ר} וְאֵין אֱלֹהִים, עִמָּדִי: {ס} אֲנִי אָמִית וַאֲחַיֶּה, {ר} מָחַצְתִּי וַאֲנִי אֶרְפָּא, {ס} וְאֵין מִיָּדִי, מַצִּיל. {ר} 39 See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with Me; I kill, and I make alive; I have wounded, and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand.
מ כִּי-אֶשָּׂא אֶל-שָׁמַיִם, יָדִי; {ס} וְאָמַרְתִּי, חַי אָנֹכִי לְעֹלָם. {ר} 40 For I lift up My hand to heaven, and say: As I live for ever,
מא אִם-שַׁנּוֹתִי בְּרַק חַרְבִּי, {ס} וְתֹאחֵז בְּמִשְׁפָּט יָדִי; {ר} אָשִׁיב נָקָם לְצָרָי, {ס} וְלִמְשַׂנְאַי אֲשַׁלֵּם. {ר} 41 If I whet My glittering sword, and My hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to Mine adversaries, and will recompense them that hate Me.
מב אַשְׁכִּיר חִצַּי מִדָּם, {ס} וְחַרְבִּי תֹּאכַל בָּשָׂר; {ר} מִדַּם חָלָל וְשִׁבְיָה, {ס} מֵרֹאשׁ פַּרְעוֹת אוֹיֵב. {ר} 42 I will make Mine arrows drunk with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh; with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the long-haired heads of the enemy.'
מג הַרְנִינוּ גוֹיִם עַמּוֹ, {ס} כִּי דַם-עֲבָדָיו יִקּוֹם; {ר} וְנָקָם יָשִׁיב לְצָרָיו, {ס} וְכִפֶּר אַדְמָתוֹ עַמּוֹ. {ר} {ש} 43 Sing aloud, O ye nations, of His people; for He doth avenge the blood of His servants, and doth render vengeance to His adversaries, and doth make expiation for the land of His people. {P}
מד וַיָּבֹא מֹשֶׁה, וַיְדַבֵּר אֶת-כָּל-דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה-הַזֹּאת--בְּאָזְנֵי הָעָם: הוּא, וְהוֹשֵׁעַ בִּן-נוּן. 44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
מה וַיְכַל מֹשֶׁה, לְדַבֵּר אֶת-כָּל-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה--אֶל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל. 45 And when Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel,
