The 72 names

The 72 names, a spiritual and powerful tool, a Kabbalistic key to abundance of luck and blessing, wholeness and happiness.

With the help of the 72 names, the wisdom of Kabbalah brings us a way to communicate with the physical and spiritual worlds – a powerful and miraculous way to change all the areas of our lives in which we feel the need for change, for strengthening, for protection and development.

If we take His explicit name, break it down into factors and add its gematria numbers together, we get the number 72:

י (10), יה (15), יהו (21). יהוה (26)

10+15+21+26 = 72, which are the 72 names of the Creator

The 72 names from the Sciptures:

Consists of three verses, several names, chapter fourteen, the story of the parting of the Red Sea. Here are the three verses in a row, each of which has 72 letters.

יט וַיִּסַּע מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים, הַהֹלֵךְ לִפְנֵי מַחֲנֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל, וַיֵּלֶךְ, מֵאַחֲרֵיהֶם; וַיִּסַּע עַמּוּד הֶעָנָן, מִפְּנֵיהֶם, וַיַּעֲמֹד, מֵאַחֲרֵיהֶם.

כ וַיָּבֹא בֵּין מַחֲנֵה מִצְרַיִם, וּבֵין מַחֲנֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל, וַיְהִי הֶעָנָן וְהַחֹשֶׁךְ, וַיָּאֶר אֶת-הַלָּיְלָה; וְלֹא-קָרַב זֶה אֶל-זֶה, כָּל-הַלָּיְלָה.

כא וַיֵּט מֹשֶׁה אֶת-יָדוֹ, עַל-הַיָּם, וַיּוֹלֶךְ יְהוָה אֶת-הַיָּם בְּרוּחַ קָדִים עַזָּה כָּל-הַלַּיְלָה, וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת-הַיָּם לֶחָרָבָה; וַיִּבָּקְעוּ, הַמָּיִם.

In English:

19 Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them,

20 coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.

21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided.

The 72 names are obtained by writing the first verse from write to left without spaces.

Below the first verse, the second verse is written from left to write, without spaces.

Finally, the third verse is written from write to left, without spaces.

Thus 72 3-letter names are created. Each of these names has an immense energy to create change, to protect and to lead to breakthroughs in our lives.

The table below links to an explanation of each of the 72 names. The explanation includes a special prayer for each of the combinations. Observing the letter combinations in your mind’s eye with full intention of fulfilling their meaning, will help you connect to the energies they represent.

Since the energy of the names is connected to the Hebrew letters themselves, the names will be provided in Hebrew as well as the transliteration of each one.
