Tuesday, 23rd of Av, 5774

Tuesday is the seventh day of Week 46 and the twenty-eighth day of the cycle of Malchut (Kingship), Malchut shebeNetzach shebeMalchut, Kingship within Victory/Endurance within Kingship.

Tuesday is also the fourteenth 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 fourteenth letter, the Nun:

11. They have outraged women in Zion [and] maidens in the cities of Judah.

יא. נָשִׁים בְּצִיּוֹן עִנּוּ בְּתֻלֹת בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה:

This verse can be interpreted positively as follows:

11. Women in Zion answered (ענו) maidens in the cities of Judah.

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
