And through this may I merit to perform wonders in Heaven and on earth, and to stop the sun and the moon, like it says, “the sun (640) in Giveon (133) was still (50), and the moon (214) in the valley (211) of Ayalon (97), and the sun (645) and the moon (214) were still (66) until (74) he took revenge (156) on the nation (19) of his enemy (35)”. And through this the eleven (11) = 2700 chiefs of Esav were subdued, because (30) I had intention (486) in my eating and drinking, to unify (53) the Name (341) of the Holy One (415) Blessed (232) is He (12), and the Shechina (801, in love (60) and awe (270) = 2700. ==== https://ravberland.com/prayer-to-overcome-enemies/
