Who knows three hundred and one?

?אחד ושלוש מאות - מי יודע

Anyone who posts an answer consisting of just the lazy gematria is fired.

Check out for the previous three hundred entries in this ongoing series.

  • Is there a master index somewhere of this series? (I mean other than having to manually check each page)

  • @ibid, if you sort the series tag list by "newest," you get them, with very few exceptions, lined up in reverse order.

  • @IsaacMoses - Has anyone (who, unlike me, knows Hebrew) compiled it into a super extended version of the song?

    @ibid, funny you should ask. We are doing a little bit of that, in English though, for the forthcoming second edition of Hagada - Mi Yodeya?, with an eye toward doing the whole series in the future.

Tehillim 118:11 סבוני גם סבבוני "they encircle me and they also surround me" = 301.

Artscroll Tehillim to 118:11 (Vilna Gaon, Etz Yosef, Otzar HaTefillos) explain the 2 letter and 3 letter shoresh to mean "encircle from distance" and then "encircled tightly" referring to the Psalmist/Israel's enemies.
