First line (Deut 6:4) of The Shema
The opening line of The Shema has the value 1118.The first word (Shema) has the value 410. That means that the remaining 22 letters in the line, have the value 708, which is the value of The Upper 42 Letter Name. That opening line of The Shema, contains within it, three letters (i.e. one Triplet) in the word Shema, and then 14 more Triplets from the Upper 42 Letter Name of God.
That Upper 42 Letter Name is derived from the “72 expansion” of God’s Sacred 4-Letter Name, often described as The Tetragrammaton. The 72 is the value of the expansion which uses “Heh Yod” as the spelling in the Heh’s in God’s 4-Letter Name. This expansion is connected with the 72 Triplets, with “Phi” the Golden Ratio or Divine Proportion, and with the 5 sided Pool of Bethesda, where Jesus healed the man who had been crippled for 38 years.
The Upper 42 Letter Name
Line values 26 72 and 610
Total value 708
The Upper 42 Letter Name can be laid out as 14 Triplets, rater than in 3 lines. With the additional 3 letters of the word Shema, we have 15 Triplets of total value 1118. This is the same value as the gematria value of the opening line (top of this page) of The Shema.
The 15 Triplets are shown here:

These 15 “Initial Letters’ Values”, from the 15 “Shema Triplets” sum to 416. This number, which is incidentally twice the value of Isaac’s name, will become way more significant when we combine it with the 857 value of the 11 “Bereshith Triplets” in an upcoming Post-Article.
