Jan 16 at 16:29 comment added Shmuel hmm, this might would be a good next question. Do you know where I can read more about this? I am not familair with the exact rules of gematria, I usually go by the method of the Baal HaTurim.
Jan 16 at 15:56 comment added Yaacov Deane @Shmuel Good question. It is including more in the count for the whole word or phrase. The concept is found everywhere in this type of teaching and is based upon the general teaching from Moshe Rabbeinu about the relationship between VaYakhel ויקהל and Pekudei פקודי.
Jan 15 at 20:27 comment added Shmuel sorry for my ignorance, but what is kollel when we speak about gematria?
Nov 20, 2023 at 3:39 comment added Yaacov Deane @Shmuel As I understand the language from Yevamot 4a, Rabbi Elazar is saying the Midoraita source for the principle of homiletical interpretation is found somewhere in sefer Devarim. It does not detail how specifically that is learned out, only that it is there.
Nov 19, 2023 at 18:57 comment added Shmuel "the source for this type of Torah explanation in the Written Torah according to Rabbi Elazar is found in Sefer Devarim" - is this because in sefer Devorim we review what is stated in the earlier books (hence the name Mishneh Torah) or does this mean that the explanation for this Gemara can be found in a posuk in sefer Devarim? Sorry for my misunderstanding this.
