letter is a symbol, full of many inner meanings,
from literal straightforward meaning, to deeper
spiritual meaning. Understanding the letters

meanings of the Torah or the Bible.

and learned to listen to the inner voice of our souls,
that we are automatically guarded, supported and
helped.
THE NUMBER 15
• The number 15 in the Bible pictures rest, which comes
after deliverance, represented by fourteen. The 15th day
of the first Hebrew month (Nisan) is the first day of the
Feast of Unleavened Bread, a day of rest for the children
of Israel (and for Christians). The 15th day of the 7th
Hebrew month begins the Feast of Tabernacles, also a
day of rest.
God told Abraham in a vision, just as the sun was
setting to begin Nisan 15 on the Hebrew calendar, that
his descendants would end up as slaves in a foreign
country (Egypt). They would, however, eventually be
set free (Genesis 15:12 - 16). Many years later in
Egypt, God miraculously delivered Israel's firstborn
from the death angel just as Passover began after
sunset (Nisan 14).
Then, 24 hours later (just as the sun was setting to
begin Nisan 15), the children of Israel began to leave
Egypt (Exodus 12:40 - 41). This night is referred to as
the 'night to be much observed' (Exodus 12:40 - 42,
Deuteronomy 16:1). God's prophecy of freedom, given
to Abraham on Nisan 15, was fulfilled years later on the
exact same day.
• After dying on the cross, Jesus' body is placed in a Garden Tomb as
the sun was setting to begin Nisan 15 in 30 A.D. (Matthew 27:57 - 61,
Luke 23:50 - 55, John 19:38 - 42).
• Appearances of the number fifteen
• King Hezekiah, who was sick and dying, prayed that God would
remember his works and how he served God with his whole heart.
God heard his prayer and told the king, through the prophet Isaiah,
that he would be healed and granted an additional number of years
of live (15 - see 2Kings 20:1 - 6).
