Monday, 22nd of Av, 5774

Monday is the sixth day of Week 46 and the twenty-seventh day of the cycle of Malchut (Kingship), Yesod shebeNetzach shebeMalchut, Foundation within Victory/Endurance within Kingship.

Monday is also the thirteenth day of the fifteenth 22-day cycle of the year, related to the letter Peh Sofit (the final Peh). Although this chapter also has 22 verses, it is not openly an acrostic. However, there is a way to rearrange the verses. The following verse (4) from Chapter 5 of the Book of Lamentations is connected to the thirteenth letter, the Mem:

4. Our water we have drunk for payment; our wood needs must come by purchase.

ד. מֵימֵינוּ בְּכֶסֶף שָׁתִינוּ עֵצֵינוּ בִּמְחִיר יָבֹאוּ:

This verse can be interpreted positively as follows:

4. Our water we have drunk in silver; our wood needs must come on pricey (objects).

Obs: Chapter 5 of Lamentations works as an acrostic if you take the three verses that begin with 'Al, עַל , and apply them as above for the letter Gimmel, Dalet and Samech. Furthermore, for the letter Tet, take the first letter of the second word in verse 13. Also, for those verses for which the first letter appears in more than one verse, use only one verse and take the second letter of the remaining verses.
