 Beraishit 17.2- בראשית


2.’And I will give you My Covenant between Me and you- וְאֶתְּנָה בְרִיתִי בֵּינִי וּבֵינֶךָ (1724+4 words=18 counting final Kaf as 500), and I shall multiply you greatly, greatly- וְאַרְבֶּה אוֹתְךָ בִּמְאֹד מְאֹד (733+4 words=17=8).

Rashi comments here that this is the “Covenant of Love”-ברית של אהבהand the “Covenant of the Land”- ברית הארץ through fulfilling the Commandment of circumcision.


The joint gematria of the words:

·         Covenant of Love-       ברית של אהבה  =955   =19=10=1
·         Covenant of the Land -      ברית הארץ  =908   =17=8


1863=18
