Ha’Misparim La’Debarim
The Numbers of the Words
by Craig Wm. Peters
Tehillim/Psalm 107 and Circumcision of Heart
And
hwhy
your Elohim will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love
hwhy
your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your nephesh, that you may live.
Deuteronomy 30:6
a
This study will ponder numerous thoughts surrounding the circumcision of heart that
hwhy
requires within all those who would enter His Kingdom. And it is a subject matter of such immense and long-lasting importance that
hwhy
even inspired the numbering of Tehillim (the Psalms) to correspond to this great topic. The Torah of
hwhy
is the Word which He has commanded to 1000 generations.
1
Beginning with Abraham,
2
hwhy
has decreed His Word/Torah will remain valid and authoritative—the Constitution of His Age-Abiding Kingdom—across the many eons of time it will take to span the 1000 generations prophesied. “The end”
3
spoken of by Sha’ul will not come until the Messiah has reigned across these 20,000 plus years and we have seen all the enemies if
hwhy
subdued under His feet. In this article, we will learn and ponder yet more about the war
hwhy
promised He would have against Amalek from generation to generation.
4
Many have put forth that Amalek is a type of the flesh, but does the Word of
hwhy
give us any direct evidence this is the case? And do the Hebrew misparim/numbers reveal to us that such a view is still incomplete? Also to be pondered: While
hwhy
promised to utterly cut off the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven,
5
have all the Amalekites been permanently obliterated at this point in time? Some have imagined and/or theorized this to be the case. Yet that hardly seems likely since there still remain unfulfilled prophecies which involve the descendants of Amalek. We give thanks to
hwhy
for what the Spirit reveals to His people through the Hebrew misparim/numbers. May the sovereign, omnipotent rule of the One who Reigns on High, to the Age and Beyond, be established over all Yisrael and over all the earth.

The Five Books of Tehillim/Psalms Correspond to the Five Books of the Torah
Why is
Psalm 107
the
one hundred and seventh
song of the
Book of Tehillim/Psalms
? And why is
Tehillim / Psalm 107
the first song of B
OOK
F
IVE
? Yes! The Psalms are divided into five, separate books: B
OOK
O
NE
, B
OOK
T
WO
, B
OOK
T
HREE
, B
OOK
F
OUR
,
and B
OOK
F
IVE
. That B
OOK
F
IVE
begins with
Psalm 107
is a result which we will see to be both inspired and amazing. Since the ordering and numbering of
Tehillim
, or the
Psalms
, is inspired, there is a purpose for each of the psalms having been placed at a particular place in the sequence of these 150 songs. In this ongoing series of studies, many remarkable instances of these inspired number connections have been noted, so we will not take the time to recount the evidence revealed in the Spirit and documented thus far. However, it was previously shown that the
Book of Tehillim/Psalms
is divided into five parts—each of which corresponds to the
Five Books of Mosheh
, the
Torah
—what some call the
Pentateuch
. For those recently joining us, we show this five-part division once again: • S
EPHER

OOK

NE
: B’reshit: The Genesis Book: Psalms 1 – 41 • S
EPHER

: Debarim:
The Deuteronomy Book:
Psalms 107 – 150 Since the above divisions are openly noted in the Hebrew Tanak/Bible, many English translations will have “B
OOK
O
NE
” as a major heading above
Psalm 1
, “B
OOK
T
WO
” as the heading above
Psalm 42
, “B
OOK
T
HREE
” will be prominently seen just above
Psalm 73
, “B
OOK
F
OUR
” will appear just above
Psalm 90
, and “B
OOK
F
IVE
” will introduce the last forty-four psalms, beginning with
Psalm 107
. Unfortunately, some translations do not include these inspired and instructive divisions; thus, in some versions, no special headings will be seen. Readers are referred to the
Companion Bible
for E.W. Bullinger’s additional comments on this matter as he shows much evidence of the connection between the Five Books of the Torah and the Five Books of the Psalms.

On page 720 of its main text, the
Companion Bible
points out the above arrangement of the
Psalms
into five, distinct books.

We find ourselves most grateful for the many things which Dr. Bullinger—editor of the
Companion Bible
—wrote as he further establishes many other edifying thoughts about the
Psalms
—the greatest of all books of praise and

These notes are seen at the beginning of each book of the psalms as well as within the numerous notes which Mr. Bullinger provides in the margins. See page 720-722 of the
Companion Bible
, along with pages 759-760, 789, 809-810, and 826-827.

worship. Bullinger’s many notes on the
Psalms
, alone, make it worth obtaining the
Companion Bible
.

On page 720, he writes: “Manuscript and Massoretic authorities, the Talmud (
Kiddushin
33a) as well as the ancient versions, divide the Psalms into five books. The Midrash on Ps. 1:1 says, ‘Moses gave to the Israelites the five books of the Law; and corresponding with these David gave them the five books of the psalms.’”
9
To the above quote we add, in the beginning, the first words recorded as having been spoken by Elohim are “Yu-hee ohr”… “Let there be light.”
10
Corresponding with this great outburst of light—the life-force which broke forth in the first act of Creation—the Spirit of
hwhy
opens
Psalm 1
(and so, the entire book of 150 songs) pronouncing yet again, “Let there be light!” Only now, this light is seen to be the light of the Torah:
“Blessed is the man that does not walk in the counsel of lawless ones, and in the way of sinners does not stand, and in the seat of scoffers does not sit. But in the Torah of
hwhy
is his delight and in His Torah he meditates by day and night.”
Psalm 1:1-2
11
Other psalms/songs elaborate upon this amazing fact: The Torah of
hwhy
is Light from Him
12
—Light from His very Presence. Those walking in darkness do not access this Presence, nor do they abide by the Torah of
hwhy
.
13
Corresponding with the light which began Creation—and which
figuratively
breaks forth from all Five Books of the Torah—
Psalm 1
not only opens
Sepher
a/
B
OOK
1
(the
Genesis Book
14
), but it begins the entire
Book of Tehillim/Psalms
as it pronounces: “Let there be light” … the light of the Torah
15
… the light which lights mankind delivering him from darkness
16
… the light which prospers him with life abundantly.
