?IN5 weariness, exhaustion; the proper name<br />

Leah, daughter of Laban, and Jacob's first wife<br />

through the Father's ruse. In Genesis 29:23:<br />

"And it came to pass in the evening that he<br />

[Laban] took Leah his daughter, and brought her<br />

to him [Jacob]; and he went in unto her."<br />

"This word is translated 'wearied' by Gesenius,<br />

and 'weary, or dull,' by Furst; both however are<br />

singularly inappropriate to an infant. Me may,<br />

more probably, consider that this word signifies<br />

'she languishes,' and that is has reference to<br />

Astarte, or Ishtar. The idea of 'languishment'<br />

appears to have been associated in all hot<br />

countries with that of 'desire.' . . .the word may be<br />

a variant of ~ 5 leah, , which signifies 'vital force,<br />

freshness, and vigor;' the name being given with<br />

the same idea as was in the mind of Jacob, when<br />

he said, 'Reuben, thou are my might, the<br />

beginning of my strength' (Genesis 49:3), or<br />

variant of R??, luh, 'he shines, glitters, or<br />

burns."' [Inman, 1942, VII pp. 206-207.1<br />

Damcar (Lt). a "place" in "Arabia" where<br />

brother C.R. was initiated. As 13 D'I (264)<br />

Damcar means "the blood of the Lamb," which is<br />

the "water of life." This is a correspondence life<br />

11. Sattva, or alchemical Mercury, is the attribute<br />

of Yekhidah. The numeral value of Yekhidah (see<br />

below), is 37, which is number of degrees in the<br />

angle which determines the relation of the<br />

hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triangle to its base.<br />

Thus the number 37 signifies the principle which<br />

maintains the relation of the evolving forms of<br />

the Life-power to Isis, or Mother Nature. The<br />

Supreme SELF, Yekhidah, is this principle. It is<br />

the epithet of the soul of life of Israel. In Tarot it<br />

applies to Virgo [3+7 = 10; the numerical value<br />

of Yod, attributed to Virgo]. Thirty-seven is<br />

multiplied into many names and epithets of Jesus<br />

Christ. In the New Testament Jesus calls himself<br />

"Son of Man" 37 times (2380, Greek). The Zohar<br />

(123A) says from Isaac's birth to the time of his<br />

being bound were thus the real life of Sarah, as<br />

indicated in the expression "and the Life of Sarah<br />

was (TIT), the word 'lWl having the numerical<br />

value of 37". The Garden of Pomegranates gives<br />

Malkuth in Assiah. 3x12 + 1 = 37. [see Great<br />

Work Lesson 131<br />

111. Thirty-seven is the sum of the squares of 1<br />

and 6, or 1 plus 36, so that its basic numeral<br />

properties are a combination of the powers of 1,<br />

or Kether, with those of 6, or Tiphareth.<br />

IV. "The total numeration of the Sephiroth of the<br />

Middle Pillar, including Daath, is 37, which<br />

represents Unity itself in its balanced trinitarian<br />

manifestation [Ill divided by 31. 37 is also the<br />

word 375, meaning the 'flame', 'head', or 'point',<br />

which resumes the doctrine of the Head (in<br />

Daath) as the point of access to the universe of<br />

Pure Negation. Also, 37 is the number of ~5<br />

which means 'Non', 'Neque', Wondum', 'Absque',<br />

'Nemo', 'Nihil'; not, neither, not yet, without,<br />
