"The numerical value of “prophecy” (נְבוּאָה ) is also equal to the value of the three holy Names that refer to the essence of the Almighty:
,י-הוה, א-היה, א-הוה whose numerical values are: 26, 21, 17, respectively. These three Names are composed solely of the Hebrew vowel letters, אהוי , and correspond, respectively to the three sefirot: wisdom (chochmah), understanding (binah), and knowledge (da’at). Altogether, these three holy Names have 12 letters, alluding again to the prophecy of Moshe. Also, each of these holy Names' letters can be permuted in exactly 12 different ways (though each has four letters, the letter hei repeats twice in each, producing a total of 4!/2 unique permutations). Thus, one should meditate on how a permutation of each of these three holy Names enlightens each of the 12 months of the year, in context with the special sense and tribal qualities that correspond to each month.

In the coming year, we should seek to fasten our consciousness on prophecy as it is revealed at its highest level and specifically with the unique hue of prophecy that will shine in each particular month."

As the twelve months form a circle - and we know that every circle orbits itself - and understand from this the mystery of pi and of the dimensions of Solomon's brass sea of Israel's purification - so also from this we may contemplate the glory and joy of the unity of the twelve tribes of Israel, through which is revealed the unity of the name of the Blessed Holy One.
