Dinah Was a Boy at First (Vayishlach)

After six sons, Leah knew that she was pregnant with another boy. She would then have a disproportionate number of boys, seven out of twelve. So Leah judged that it would not be fair and prayed that the child's gender would be changed to a girl. That is why the baby's name was "Dinah" which means "Judgement." Dinah is called "naar," which means a boy, but when the Torah is read in the synagogue, this word is pronounced "naarah," which means a girl.

Since it was Leah who caused Dinah to be born a girl, Dinah is called Leah's daughter, "And Dinah, Leah's daughter, went out."

Dinah was the reincarnation of Eve. Dinah's abductor, Shechem ben Chamor the Hivite, was the reincarnation of the initial Snake. The word "Hivite" means a snake in Aramaic. Since he has injected poison into Eve, his only desire was to stay connected to her, this time as Dinah. After Shechem was circumcised, his correction in life was complete, and he was killed, having nothing left to do.

And he lay with her that night (Vayetze)

"And Yakov slept with Leah that night... and Issachar was born."

Issachar studied Torah more than any other of the twelve sons of Yakov. So, Issachar represents the essence of Yakov. It says "that night" and not "on that night." In Hebrew, it is "ba laila who" and not "ba laila hawho." The word "that" applies to the man (Issachar) and not the night. 

Later, Issachar was reincarnated as Rabbi Akiva. When the brothers sold Yosef, and the time came to atone for that, Rabbi Akiva was the leading sage of the ten sages martyred to perform this atonement. The connection to Issachar is in the words of Rabbi Akiva.

Now, we can establish other connections. Adam had two wives: Lilith and Eve. Adam's reincarnation, Yakov, also had two wives, Leah and Rachel. Yakov's reincarnation, Rabbi Akiva, also had two wives: the former wife of Turneius Rufus and his first wife, Rachel. The wives are also connected through reincarnations.

Why Did Rebecca Tell Jacob to Deceive Isaac? (Toldot)

Rebecca was a reincarnation of Eve, and Jacob, her son, was a reincarnation of Adam. Now, the two, Adam and Eve, meet again. In this new situation, Rebecca tells Jacob not to worry about deceiving Isaac. If he curses you, the "curse is on me."

She says, before, when I was Eve, I was the reason for your curse. Now, I will help you remove the curse. Before, you were cursed because you "listened to your wife's voice." Now, just the opposite, you have to listen to me, but this time for the right reason.

Further, before, you made a mistake connected to food. Now, you are doing to correct that mistake, also with food. You will feed it to Isaac so that he blesses you. 

Original Adam's clothing fell into the hands of Nimrod and later into the hands of Esau. Esau stored it with Rebecca. Now, she gave them back to Jacob. That is why Isaac smelled Paradise in them when he said, "The smell of my son is like that of God's field."

Marriages are from God (Chayei Sarah)

"Laban and Bethuel said this came from God; we can say nothing one way or another." From here, we deduce that every marriage is from God.

But can we really make this deduction from the words of Laban and Bethuel, who were not exceedingly righteous? One view is that the words "this thing is from God" were said by Heavenly voice, which interjected, and then Laban and Bethuel continued. 

Another explanation is that "this thing came" means that it came from Mount Moriah. Yitchak had a female nature, and as such, he could not have a proper couple. On Mound Moriah, his soul left; then it came back as a male. That is why initially it says, "And to Sarah, there was a son," but now it is, "and she (Rivka) will be a wife to the son or your master."

Daughter is a Blessing (Chayei Sarah)

When Abraham was old, God blessed him with everything. That was a daughter. In Hebrew, "with everything" is spelled "Bakol," and that was the name of the daughter, Bakol.

The gematria of Bakol is 52. 

בכל = 2 + 20 + 30 = 52

This represents the name of God spelled with Hey

יהוה

יוד הה וו הה = 52

Thus, in a mystical sense, this name of God is the daughter of Abraham.
