Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

Psalm 144.1

This verse is an integration point between the order of the Chapters in the Inner Cycle of the Psalms, the order of the Alphabet, the order of the Canon and Gematria. Its really an extremely tight integration of all these Threads. I begin with the word "teach" in the verse above. It is from the root Lamad, cognate with the Name of the 12th Letter:

This fundamental Lamed KeyWord integrates with the index of Psalm 144 above through its ordinal value of 12 through two pathways. The Number 144 is the square of 12 (144 = 12 x 12) and the Number 144 is congruent to 12 modula 22. Writing 144 = 12 + 132 = 12 + 5 x 22 shows that Psalm 144 lies on Spoke 12, Cycle 6 in the Inner Cycle of the Psalms. This all integrates with the meaning of the name of the 12th letter Lamed. Further resonance is found in the fundamental Greek identity The Elect = 144 = 12 x 12 which thematically originates in the Hebrew revelation. (This link between the 12 tribes, the value of Greek phrase "The Elect", and the Number 144 is one of the great mysteries of Scripture.) The Elect are they who are taught of God.
