TAVIRA KABBALAH STONE (500 YEARS OLD)
COMMENTARY ON THE INSCRIPTION
(anonymous contributor)

Photoshop was used to raise the letters in this photo.

The first thing that we need to do is orient the circle. You notice that there is a “V” incised in the circle. You should have that facing up or North.We’ll come back to that position shortly.

Surrounding outside of the Magic Square are the letters – Yud, Hay Eyin, Nun, Nun, Yud. They appear around the circle 15 times. 4 times in the North position, 3 times in the West position, 5 times in the South position, and 3 times in the East position.

These letters I believe are a contraction of two words. Yud Hay and Eyin Nun Nun Yud. The Yud Hay is G-d’s Name, and the Eyin Nun Nun Yud means answer me. Anayni. So together they say “ G-d should answer me.” And they appear 15 times mirroring the the number 15 of the Magic Square.

In the East position to the right of the 3 words are the letters Yud Hay Vov Hay. This is the name for G-d that is used after G-d reveals himself at the burning bush in the wilderness. It is G-d’s name Yahweh, which we are not allowed to pronounce.

In the West position behind the three words I believe, although it is difficult to make out are the letters Yud Kof, Mem, which means “To Arise” there is difficulty discerning one of the letters, but I think that I’m on the right track.

G-d’s name is in the East position because that is where the Temple was situated, and the Messiah will come to the Temple , therefore I assume from the West, that’s why I think the word is Arise is in the west.

Why the West & East have the word “G-d should answer” me 3 times? Maybe the answer is that on the third day of creation G-d says twice that “It is Good” where on the other days he doesn’t say it at all or only once. Another explanation for the number three is that you need a man, woman, and G-d to create a person, and lastly the first two letters of the Aleph-Bet have a gematria ( numerology) of 1 and 2 = 3. They spell the word AV, which means father. But these thoughts on the number three are only suppositions.
