Parsha Pages | June 25, 2025

Forty-Two stations are mentioned in Parshas Masai (ואלה)

42 Letters in the Divine name of Mem-Beis (Kidushin 71a); generally defined as the acronym of the 42 words in Ana Beko’ach, אָנָא בְּכֹח, the prayer of R. Nechunyah ben HaKanah; to subdue the forces of evil and impurity (Likkutei Torah 88d).

Ma’aseh Bereishis (the Work of Creation) says that this refers to the combination which emerges from the 28 letters of the first verse and the first 14 letters in the second verse (Tosfos on Chagigah 11b).
