Who is Dicranosa?
This is someone whose name starts with “Dal” and ends with “Alef”. 🙂
It is commonly believed that this is one of the names of God. There are places where one gets the impression that it is some kind of angel.
(I have a special interest in this name because when I was a child I was asked to explain how Dikarnusa comes from the verse "And I have emptied you a blessing until you are satisfied" and from the verse "And I have poured out a blessing until you are satisfied" and And the second verse tried on us, etc. I was unable to explain it in this way. And ever since then I have wondered what the Kabbalists found in this name and I set my heart on it, and at some point I saw a solution and it seems to me that it was with someone who came to mock the Kabbalah, and I will present it)
In the Gemara Pesachim 11:2 it is written “Isra Damzoni – Nakid Shemiya. Isra Deaniota – Nabal Shemiya–. And Rashi interpreted Isra Damzoni – Angel in charge of livelihood. And from now on it is easy for a wise person to know that Dikarnusa is an anagram of “Asor Nakid– and from there the Kabbalists invented it.
And so it is that the one who sees the virtue of the "Rish of Ostropoli" that is read (at least by the Sephardim) on the eve of Passover will see how he goes there and invents names of angels and makes riddles out of them and then solves them, wonder and wonder, and who will believe him that he did not invent them for the purpose of the solution (it is highly recommended to read this deceptive "virtue". I was a child and I was very amazed by this virtue, wonders of wonders. Until I grew up and the token fell, etc., and it was not pleasant. And also in Abarbanel Daniel, Chapter 11 and 12).
Now, something has occurred to me through the hypothesis of Belma. The above Gemara says that Isra Damzoni and Rashi interpret it as an angel in charge of provisions. Since when is Israr a term of authority? Perhaps Memunah is a tool in the hand of the Holy One (as in the case of Yosef being confined from his chariot). But it is also possible otherwise:
There are in the Bible the kings of Assyria, Shalmaneser and Tiglath Pileser (who conquered Israel and part of Judah). And in the names of kings, it is very common to combine the name of God in the same place. Like the kings of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar begins with the name of God ‘Naboo’, and Belshazzar begins with the name of God ‘Bel’ (as it is written, Nebuchadnezzar bowed down. And Nebuchadnezzar called Daniel ‘Belshazzar’ “Kesum Elohim”). Ethbaal was the king of Sidon and Baal was their god. So were most of the kings of Judah. It seems that Essar was an Assyrian title for a king or a ruler. Like El among some peoples.
Sorry for the flood, but something that had been in the back of my mind for years suddenly came to my mind
I wrote above that I did not understand what is written in the Siddurim where “Dikarnosa” comes from the verse “And I poured out a blessing upon you until you are satisfied” and from the verse “Let the light of your face shine upon us, O God”. And I suggested gematria upon gematria how Dikarnosa comes from the verse “And I poured out a blessing upon you until you are satisfied”. And the second verse “Let the light of your face shine upon us, O God” was not interpreted that way.
And now I see that if we take the letters Nesa Aleinu Or Pneich, the initials Na'af, and the final letters Horek, all in gematria 432, and Dikarnusa in gematria 431 and with the total 432. It seems to me that the truth proves itself that this is the intention of the Kabbalists that this name emerges from these verses in these gematria ways that are like a compass in the hand of the drafter. And they chose these verses because in them Dikarnusa is in charge of sustenance like the name Chathach (which is also in the same gematria, as written in the Siddurs), and these verses deal with sustenance and special illumination of the face, and also that it is possible to glean from them the letters Dikarnusa as I wrote above.
