Part 10 · Chapter 51

And behold, they divide into four discernments, and this is the matter of the verse, ‘The length of the curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width four cubits,’ which are the hundred and twenty combinations of Elokim, dividing into four times thirty. And this is the matter of BUChU, mentioned in Parashat Pekudei, page 261, which is the matter of the substitution of the name Ehyeh by the cipher Avgad. For behold, the name Ehyeh is on its face, and the name BUChU is on its back, for it has the gematria of thirty-four, which are these discernments of the back, being four times thirty combinations of Elohim. And behold, Moshe our teacher, peace be upon him, was included of these hundred and twenty combinations, in the manner mentioned above, being the four names of Elokim, whose gematria, with the collective, is Moshe. And each of these four [names of] Elohim includes thirty combinations, so all four together include the hundred and twenty combinations of Elohim. And this is, ‘though in his flesh, his days shall be a hundred and twenty years,’ as is written in the Tikkunim on this verse, ‘Beshgam — this is Moshe.’
