why is kesef/silver mentioned 16 times in this portion? also why does kesef have a gematria of 160? the silver goblet is used to nechash (divine). why does nechash have a gematria of 16(ie;300 +50+8)or(3+5+8)?
I counted 18 references to it:
42:25- once
42:27- once
42:28- once
42:35- twice
43:12- twice
43:15- once
43:18- once
43:21- twice
43:22- twice
43:23- once
44:2- twice
44:8 - twice
Thanks. Why is silver so important to this portion? Why is it brought up 18 times?
