In gematria, Shin represents the number 300. The breakdown of its namesake, Shin[300] - Yodh[10] - Nunh[50] gives the geometrical meaningful number 360, which encompasses the fullness of the degrees of circles.
Shin also stands for the word Shaddai, a name for God. Because of this, a kohen (priest) forms the letter Shin with his hands as he recites the Priestly Blessing. In the mid-1960s, actor Leonard Nimoy used a single-handed version of this gesture to create the Vulcan hand salute for his character, Mr. Spock, on Star Trek.
The letter Shin is often inscribed on the case containing a mezuzah, a scroll of parchment with Biblical text written on it. The text contained in the mezuzah is the Shema Yisrael prayer, which calls the Israelites to love their God with all their heart, soul, and strength. The mezuzah is situated upon all the doorframes in a home or establishment. Sometimes the whole word Shaddai will be written.
The Shema Yisrael prayer also commands the Israelites to write God's commandments on their hearts (Deut. 6:6); the shape of the letter Shin mimics the structure of the human heart: the lower, larger left ventricle (which supplies the full body) and the smaller right ventricle (which supplies the lungs) are positioned like the lines of the letter Shin.
A religious significance has been applied to the fact that there are three valleys that comprise the city of Jerusalem's geography: the Valley of Ben Hinnom, Tyropoeon Valley, and Kidron Valley, and that these valleys converge to also form the shape of the letter shin, and that the Temple in Jerusalem is located where the dagesh (horizontal line) is. This is seen as a fulfillment of passages such as Deuteronomy 16:2 that instructs Jews to celebrate the Pasach at "the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for his Name" (NIV).
In the Sefer Yetzirah the letter Shin is King over Fire, Formed Heaven in the Universe, Hot in the Year, and the Head in the Soul.
The 13th-century Kabbalistic text Sefer HaTemunah, holds that a single letter of unknown pronunciation, held by some to be the four-pronged shin on one side of the teffilin box, is missing from the current alphabet. The world's flaws, the book teaches, are related to the absence of this letter, the eventual revelation of which will repair the universe.
Eytomology of "Exodus", the Book of Names
In Judaism , the book is called Sefer Shemot (ספר שמות), which means "Book of Names", according to the Hebrew original . The name is derived from the first words of the book Shemot ("name", שמות). The naming after direct or most significant initial words is linked to their use as Parascha or Sidra (“week segment”) for reading the Torah (“instruction, teaching”) in the synagogue in Judaism.
The Latin name Exodus is derived from the Greek Ἔξοδος ("exodus"), which means the exodus of the Israelites from slavery under Egyptian rule.
The German name of 2 Book of Mose goes back to Martin Luther's translation of the Bible and follows the other traditional Jewish and church usage, which traditionally names Moses as the author.
The goal of the Shin path, or at least the practicer's present life, is the attainment of shinjin in the Other Power of Amida. Shinjin is sometimes translated as "faith", but this does not capture the nuances of the term and it is more often simply left untranslated.[8] The receipt of shinjin comes about through the renunciation of self-effort in attaining enlightenment through tariki. Shinjin arises from jinen (自然 naturalness, spontaneous working of the Vow) and cannot be achieved solely through conscious effort. One is letting go of conscious effort in a sense, and simply trusting Amida Buddha, and the nembutsu.
For Jōdo Shinshū practitioners, shinjin develops over time through "deep hearing" (monpo) of Amitābha's call of the nembutsu. According to Shinran, "to hear" means "that sentient beings, having heard how the Buddha's Vow arose—its origin and fulfillment—are altogether free of doubt."[9] Jinen also describes the way of naturalness whereby Amitābha's infinite light illumines and transforms the deeply rooted karmic evil of countless rebirths into good karma. It is of note that such evil karma is not destroyed but rather transformed: Shin stays within the Mahayana tradition's understanding of śūnyatā and understands that samsara and nirvana are not separate. Once the practitioner's mind is united with Amitābha and Buddha-nature gifted to the practitioner through shinjin, the practitioner attains the state of non-retrogression, whereupon after his death it is claimed he will achieve instantaneous and effortless enlightenment. He will then return to the world as a Bodhisattva, that he may work towards the salvation of all beings.
The number 39 has recurrently been embedded within the US Treasury seal for many decades. Currently, there are 39 stars that appear in the background of the seal.
Thirty-nine is also referenced multiple times on the US one dollar bill.
39 x 3 = 117
The Number 39 - The Lord is One
The first four verses of the Bible consist of 39 Hebrew letters.
39 = 26 (JHVH) + 13 (One)
The gematria of echad (one in Hebrew) - אחד is thirteen. (ONE is thirteen).
111 is spelled ONE ONE ONE. ONE is thirteen, so 13 + 13 + 13 = 39.
The gematria value of יהוה אחד ("one LORD") is 39.
The three letter's numerical position in the Hebrew alphabet: 1, 8 and 4, are encoded in the number of letters in "e pluribus unum). Alef = 1. Heth = 8. Dalet = 4. e = 1 letter. pluribus = 8 letters. unum = 4 letters. 1 + 8 + 4 = 13.
Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: HaShem our God, HaShem is one. The middot of HaShem is 13.
The significance of thirty-nine is that it is associated with purification from an undesireable state and the emergence of a new entity.
There are forty labors, less one, corresponding to the thirty-nine lashes,[1] which are not administered on Shabbat; they correspond to the ten curses given to Adam, the ten curses given to Chava, the ten curses given to the snake, and the nine curses pronounced on the earth.[2]
The following is an excerpt from Meam Loez:[3]
Thirty-nine is numerically equivalent to the Hebrew word tal – טל, ‘dew’. HaShem will resurrect the dead with dew according to the Talmud:
Chagigah 12b Araboth is that in which there are Right and Judgment and Righteousness,[4] the treasures of life and the treasures of peace and the treasures of blessing, the souls of the righteous and the spirits and the souls[5] which are yet to be born, and dew wherewith the Holy One, blessed be He, will hereafter revive the dead. Right and Judgment, for it is written: Right[6] and judgment are the foundations of Thy throne.[7] Righteousness, for it is written: And He put on righteousness as a coat of mail.[8] The treasures of life, for it is written: For with Thee is the fountain of life.[9] And the treasures of peace, for it is written: And called it, ‘The Lord is peace’.[10] And the treasures of blessing, for it is written: he shall receive a blessing from the Lord.[11] The souls of the righteous, for it is written: Yet the soul of my lord shall be bound up in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God.[12] The spirits and the souls which are yet to be born, for it is written: For the spirit that enwrappeth itself is from Me, and the souls which I have made.[13] And the dew wherewith the Holy One, blessed be He, will hereafter revive the dead, for it is written: A bounteous rain didst Thou pour down, O God; when Thine inheritance was weary, Thou didst confirm it.[14] There [too] are the Ofanim[15] and the Seraphim,[16] and the Holy Living Creatures,[17] and the Ministering Angels,[18] and the Throne of God; and the King, the Living God, high and exalted, dwells over them in ‘Araboth, for it is said: Extol Him that rideth upon Araboth[19] whose name is the Lord.[20] And whence do we derive that it[21] is called heaven? From the word ‘riding’, which occurs in two Biblical passages. Here it is written: ‘Extol Him that rideth upon Araboth’. And elsewhere it is written: Who rideth upon the heaven as thy help.[22] And darkness and cloud and thick darkness surround Him, for it is said: He made darkness His hiding-place, His pavilion round about Him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of skies.[23] But is there any darkness before Heaven?[24] For behold it is written: He revealeth the deep and secret things; He knoweth, what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him.[25]
The Sages of the Kabbala explain that HaShem possesses thirteen attributes of mercy. Thirty-nine represents a three-fold expression of these qualities. Thus, both numbers are associated with purification from an undesireable state and the emergence of a new entity.
Flogging stimulates a similar process of renewal and purification of a sinner’s soul. Before flogging a man is called ‘wicked – רשע’, After flogging, a man is called ‘your brother - אחיך’. אחיך is numerically equivalent to thirty-nine.
Why did the Torah choose to teach me that a person receives thirty-nine whips in such a strange way. If the Torah means thirty-nine, why does it say forty. After all, one should say what he means and mean what he says. The Maharal deals with this intriguing point as follows. The reason he explains a person is sentenced with forty lashes is because HaShem, we know, takes forty days to create the embryo. Seeing as HaShem troubled himself for forty days with the “Yetzirat Havlad”[26] and the person by sinning undid the purpose of his creation, it is befitting that he should be whipped forty times, one for each of those forty days. The Maharal adds that in creating the embryo, for thirty-nine days HaShem creates the body, the Guf, and on the fortieth day blows in the soul-the Neshama. As far as sentencing is concerned the whole person sinned and therefore the whole unit consisting of the Guf and Neshama has to be punished. However, the Maharal continues, when it comes down to the whipping itself, one by one, representing day by day, when we come to the thirty-ninth day the Guf has been totally atoned for. What remains is only the Neshama. The Neshama is pure. The Neshama did not sin, so it need not be punished.
The significance of thirty-nine is that it is associated with purification from an undesireable state and the emergence of a new entity.
In Our Tzitzith
Our tzitzith (fringes), which we wear on a four-cornered garment, also model the meaning of thirty-nine.
The two sets of strands (four in one strand and three in the other strand) are knotted together twice, and then the shamash (a longer strand) is wound around the remaining seven strands a number of times (see below). The two sets are then knotted again twice. This procedure is repeated three times, such that there are a total of five knots, the four intervening spaces being taken up by windings numbering 7-8-11-13, respectively. The total number of winds comes to thirty-nine, which is the same number of winds if one were to tie according to the Talmud’s instruction of thirteen windings of three winds each. Furthermore, the number thirty-nine is found to be significant in that it is the gematria (numerical equivalent) of the Hebrew words: HaShem Echad - יהוה אחד (“God is One”), from Devarim (Deuteronomy) 6:4.
The significance of thirty-nine is that it is associated with purification from an undesireable state and the emergence of a new entity.
Forbidden Shabbat Labors
We fulfill the “safeguarding” aspects of Shabbat by refraining from thirty-nine categories of “melacha” (creative activity), which the Jews had to perform on weekdays in order to build the Mishkan. We also refrain from other activities, which may be halachically permitted, but are not fitting or appropriate on this special day.
There in an opinion in the Yerushalmi[27] that says that the thirty-nine Melachot (labors) correspond to the number of times it mentions the words “Melachah” and “Avodah” in the description of the building of the Mishkan. According to this, the first opinion in the Gemara is not only giving the source for what the Melachot are, but also for how many Melachot there are. The Talmud Bavli also speaks about these labors:
Shabbath 49b Again they[28] sat and pondered: Regarding what we learnt, The principal categories of labour[29] are forty less one,-to what do they correspond?[30] -Said R. Hanina b. Hama to them: To the forms of labour in the Tabernacle.[31] R. Jonathan son of R. Eleazar said to them, Thus did R. Simeon b. R. Jose b. Lakonia say: They correspond to [the words] ‘work’ [melakah], ‘his work’ [melakto], and ‘the work of’ [meleketh], which are [written] thirty-nine times in the Torah.[32]

Thirty-nine days To The Omer
On their thirty-eight day of the exodus from Egypt, the Bne Israel were counting the thirty-ninth day to the Omer. On this very significant day, there were three very important events:
Israelites eating quail for thirty days – Day 1.[33]
Israelites camp at Rephidim (baluster place) in 2448 AM. This is camp 10, day 1.[34]
Moshe smote the rock to provide water for the people.[35]
On this day the Bne Israel were sent quail to eat in response to their complaint regarding meat. As a result of this quail, many would die. The remaining souls would have learned the danger of complaining abount the manna.
On this day, the Bne Israel would arrive at Rephidim. In this place they would be attacked by Amalek.
Shemot (Exodus) 17:8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
This is highly significant because the command to inflict thirty-nine lashes for the transgression of a negative commandment was given in the same parasha.[36]
Finally, on this day Moshe will strike the rock to bring forth water and this act will prevent him from entering the Promised land. Now water always means Torah.
Ta’anith 7a R. Hanina b. Ida said: Why are the words of the Torah likened unto water-as it is written, ‘Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye for water’? This is to teach you, just as water flows from a higher level to a lower, so too the words of the Torah endure only with him who is meekminded.
Baba Kama 82a ‘That the law be read [publicly] on Mondays and Thursdays.’ But was this ordained by Ezra? Was this not ordained even before him? For it was taught: ‘And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water, upon which those who expound verses metaphorically said: water means nothing but Torah, as it says: Ho, everyone that thirsteth come ye for water. It thus means that as they went three days without Torah they immediately became exhausted.
Chazal, Our Sages, teach that Amalek came because the Bne Israel were lax in their Torah study. Rashi teaches the following:
Rashi to Devarim 25:18
all the stragglers at your rear Those who lacked strength on account of their transgression. [And because these Jews had sinned,] the cloud [of glory] had expelled them [thereby leaving them vulnerable to Amalek’s further attack].[37]
you were faint and weary faint from thirst, as it is written, “The people thirsted there for water” (Exod. 17:3), and [immediately] afterwards it says, “Amalek came [and fought with Israel]” (verse 17:8).[38]
Targum Pseudo Jonathan for B’midbar (Numbers) 33:14. Rephidim, where, because their hands were (raphin) neglectful of the words of the law, there was no water for the people to drink;
The significance of thirty-nine is that it is associated with purification from an undesireable state and the emergence of a new entity.
Separating the waters
If you separate the numbers of the Fibonacci sequence, you find a repeating pattern of 24 numbers. The sum of this repeating pattern is 117. Also, it references the Golden ratio (1.618) because you can get to the next number in the Fibonacci sequence by multiplying the entry by 1.6.18.
Notice how the yin and yang also appears to be two drops of water that are separated?
The Nine Entities (parts) of A Chinese Dragon
According to Wang Fu, who lived in the Han dynasty, the Chinese dragon is drawn from 9 distinct entities:
Head: Camel
Scales: Carp (fish) 117 scales total - 81 infused with yang, the good, and 36 infused with yin the bad. This evens out the dragons temper and personality. Yang (the number 9 is yang, and 9 x 9 is 81) and yin (the number 6 is yin, and 6 x 6 = 36). 81 + 36 = 117
Horns: Giant Stag (deer)
Eyes: hare (rabbit)
Ears: Bull
Neck: Snake
Belly: Clam
Paws: Tiger
Claws: Eagle
Koi Fish meaning in Japan is good fortune or luck they also are associated with perseverance in adversity and strength of purpose. Symbolic in Buddhism to represent courage. Japanese carp, or koi, as they are called, are said to symbolize fighting spirit, due to their hardy nature. In Japanese, "koi" is a homophone for 恋, another word that means "affection" or "love", so koi are symbols of love and friendship in Japan. The Koi fish symbolize good luck, abundance and perseverance.
It is believed that the Lung is based on the Indian Nagas.
The Nagas were dragonlike beings, semi-devine snakes with human faces and serpents' tails who occupy palaces (Patala), in the watery region under the earth.
They are divided into four classes: heavenly, divine, earthly, and hidden, depending upon their function in guarding the heavenly palace, giving rainfall, draning rivers, or guarding treasures.
In Burma, the Nagas combine elements of the dragon, snake, and crocodile, and give rubies to those they favor; in addition, they guarded and protected royalty. Chinese Dragon Kites were even known to be used in warfare.
The Four Types of Dragons
In China dragons are know as Lung. There are four main kinds of Lung.
The Celestial Dragon (Tien-lung) The Celestial Dragon protects the places of the Gods
The Spiritual Dragon (Shen-Lung) The Spiritual Dragon controls the wind and the rain
The Earth Dragon (Ti-Lung) The Earth Dragon controls rivers, and water on the Earth
The Underworld Dragon (Fut's-Lung) The Underworld Dragon guards precious metals and gems.
