Chayei Sarah This weeks Torah Portion, Chayei Sarah/Life of Sarah, covering Genes is23:1-25:18, provides for us the

details of the death of Sarah, Abraham, andIsh mael, as well as the intro of Rebekah as the wife of Isaac. Yet the focus ison c hayei Sarah Sarahs life! Of 54 portions, only 6 are named afterindividuals, makin g this one of the unique few, and of the 6 this is the onlynamed after a woman, causing the life of Sarah to stand out. Sarah is alsothe only woman whose age is recorded in the Torah. Is this distinction onlybecause she is the wife of Abrah am, or is there more to these details? Letspeel back the layers and see the messa ge that Sarahs life conveys for theBride today!Sarahs life up to this point has be en marked by the number 5, even in thisportion 5 is still connected to her. The is added to her name, has anumerical value of 5. Her name changes from Sarai to Sarah ed for the causing her name to decrease in its gematriaby 5 (10 5 = 5) and making t he value of her name 505. Five is the numberassociated with grace, the favor of Yahweh, brought about by obedience!Its interesting to note that it was 5 stones t hat David took with him to faceGoliath (1 Samuel 17:40) a giant and part of the serpents seed. Goliath:Strongs #1555 Golyath splendour; from #1540 galah to u made naked.*What does this have to do with Sarah? Notice the name of the portionC hayei Sarah.Chayei/life: Strongs #2416 chay life, living,alive; connected to the name e/Chavvah life or living. In thestatement Chayei Sarah, not only do we have a referenc to Sarah butto Eve as well! Sarah represents the 2ndEve/Bride! When Eve came in contact with the serpent she is galah/uncovered, made naked, andremoved from Ede n. In this portion, Sarah has just died Genesis 3:19for dust thou [art], and unt o dust shalt thou return. Genesis 3:14 upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy lifeIn other words, Sarah is about to encounter the serpent whowill seek to consume the dust...However she is connected with thenumb er five (five stones killed Goliath), so lets look at her life and seewhat grace meant for her!Genesis 23:1127 years were the years of the life of Sarah, her new nameis used. Yet she was not called Sarah until she turned 90 years old. 127 90= 37, for 37 years she is Sarah. The opening statement of this portion isVayihyu c hayeh Sarah the first word Vayihyu ,73= emphasizing the num elled the is in the middle, surrounded on either side by the( the1 other 2 letters of the name of = (.

Its the promise of theMessiah to restore His bride to lif e! Chayeh/chay comes from the rootchayah (#2421) to live, have life, remain aliv e, sustain life, to bequickened, to be restored to life, live forever! This is w hat isproclaimed at the death of Sarah/the Bride the promise that theMessiah wil l restore her! The number 37 is also connected to Genesis 1:1, as well as the nu mber 127.Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. value of this verse = 2,701 or 37 x 73o2,701 has the same numbers as Sarahs age 1 27 (1, 2, 7)o28 letters in Gen. 1:128 = 2+8=10 same as 37 = 3+7 = 10o There are 1 27 values represented by the 7 words of Gen. 1:1 (Sarahsage)oOn average, one in e very 37 values of the 127 represented in thisverse will be a multiple of 37 (in other words 3 or 4 should have 37 asa factor). But there are actually 23 (2+3 = 5) 6xs the expectednumber! Making Gen. 1:1 stamped by the number 37 and the numbe r127!Beginning/bereshit: Strongs #7225 reshiyth first, beginning, best,chief; fr op, summit, upper part, chief, front,beginning* )4521#) = to create, shape, eCreated: Strongs #1254 bara to create, shape, form* root = son, pure/clean, radi nning, YHVH established a covenant offering a garment of fire(garment of light) through his Son (Yahshua) to purify, cleanse, and makeradiant!This garment is conn ected to Sarah!2

The number 37 is also seen in 2 Samuel 23:39 Uriah the Hittite: thirty andseven in all. (*Has 5 words in the Hebrew) This is the last name mentionedin a list of the 37 mighty men whom David had. The value of this verse =1758; same as Psalm 44: 25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: ourbelly cleaveth unto the earth. Remem ber that Sarah is facing returning tothe dust!Uriah: Strongs #223 Uwriyah Yahwe /flameBecausethe has been added to Sarahs name, as she faces the dust, she is able to proclaim Yahweh is my light/flame! Shes in covenant and has receivedthe garment of

Shes buried in a cave bought from Ephron the Hitti te.Hittite: Strongs #2850 Chittiy descendant of Heth; from #2845Cheth terror; from hath to be shattered, bedismayed, be broken, abolished, afraid the name Heth = on rror of being shattered because they are fenced off ( ) from theCovenant () Ephron: St rongs #6085 Ephrown fawn-like; from #6083 aphar dry earth, dust, powder, a used inGenesis describing the dust).*Sarah/Bride has no fear as she faces the ser pent who would seek toconsume the dust because she is fenced in by the Covenant and covered bythe light of Yahweh (unlike Eve who had removed this covering), th erefore just as David was victorious against the one would seek to uncoverhim/ma ke him naked (Goliah galah) so is Sarah!Kirjatharba & Machpelah Genesis 23:2Kirjatharba: Strongs #7153 QiryathArba City of Arba; from#71 l, happen, come to meet*The first part of this name has the same 3 letter root asCov /beyrith once again reminding us of the covenant thatSarah/the Bride has with Messia is name has the instead of the = . back of the head, the end (its pointing towards what ll takeplace at the end days). Its the 19thletter of the Hebrew Alephbet. There i s a 19 year cycle, called the Metonic Cycle, where after 19 yearsthe moon return s to exactly the same place at the same longitude,during the same phase, against the same constellation, in the sky! The moons movements through the sky are note straightforward, likethose of the Sun. The Sun takes 365 and a quarter days to make a full3 journey through the Zodiac and return to the same position (it followsthe same line/ecliptic every time it does this journey its regular andeasy to follow). The Sun in Scripture is compared to the Bridegroom (Psalm 19:5),traveling through t he constellations in order to tell the redemption planof Yahweh written by His h and in the sky. The moon reflects the lightof the sun, has no light of its own, and represents the Bride!*Sarahs burial place is teaching us of the Brides full re storation through herCovenant, at the end of days, back to her original place!

When Sarah is buried in the cave, shes not exposed in thesense of de filed, but its the revealing/laying bare of His light His rainbow showing forth th e restoration of His Bride!Machpelah: Strongs #4375 Makpelah double or portion; f phal to double, fold double, double overBy removing the( the mouth, speech) from the , left with5734#) miklah) completeness, perfection; from #3615 kalah to accompl t of Kallah/Bride! Thecompletion/perfecting (healing) of the speech/mouth of the kallahcaused the light to be revealed in her! The letter thats added toSarahs name r

epresents the Hebrew language when she is restoredto the language of Yahweh (her speech is healed or perfected) Hislight/rainbow covers her as well. This is the pattern for the Bride at theend as well Zephaniah 3:9!Remember where Sarah dies Kirjatharba. This city was founded by Arba of the Anakim (Joshua 14:15), a trib e of giants. This location and the peoplethat Abraham is now dealing with concer ning Sarahs burial, the Hittites, areconnected and intermingled with the giant ra ces. Why then do they respondin such a favorable way to Abrahams need for a buria l spot? Abraham theHebrew who stands in opposition to the seed of the serpent and cuts it off,why are the very ones who will eventually be cut off by Abrahams see dhaving no problem with Abraham burying Sarah? Genesis 23:5-6, 10-11*According to tradition, it is in the Cave of Machpelah tha t Adam andEve are buried as well! The serpent usurps the authority from Adamand Eve they lose their garments of fire/covering of light becausethey choose to rem ove it at the Tree of the Knowledge of Good andEvil. The giants control (Hasatans control) of this cave showed hisauthority over the bride who had become dust now consumed by theserpent. As Sarah faces the dust (another type of the Bride), Ha satannow seeks to consume her as well to usurp her light (hence thefavorable res ponse to Abrahams need for a burial spot)!But what happens? Abraham purchases the spot for 400 shekels (Genesis23:16-18)! 400 = the mark of the Covenant. Abrahampur chases/redeems this location and marks/stamps it with the Tav theCovenant! Not o nly is Sarah redeemed/restored from the dust, but so areAdam and Eve! When the s erpent seeks to devour the Bride, instead of being able to uncover her, Yahweh r eveals His light in her the garment of fire, His rainbow, that covers her becaus e of the covenant promise from thevery beginning!Genesis 23:20 And the field, and the cave that [is] therein, were made5 sure unto Abraham for a possession of a burying place by the sons of Heth.Possess ion: Strongs #272 achuzzah possession, property; from#270 achaz grasp, take ssion used in Genesis22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind[him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took t heram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.Gematria = 21, 7 +7 +7; same value as hayah I AM*Same term is used in Genesis 1:3 Let there be h light and itsthe same way that Yahshua answered in the Garden of Gethsemanewhen questioned causing them to fall back! John 18:6 As soon thenas he had said unto t hem, I AM [he], they went backward, and fell tothe ground.When Abraham buys this property, it was pointing towards the Messiah whowould redeem the Bride proclaim ing I AM causing the enemy to fall back asHis light bursts glory
