The first explanation is offered by Rav Ovadyah Bartenurah who observes that the two words '‫אנא ה‬and ‫אני והו‬are numerically equivalent; the two phrases both equal 78, which is also the numerical value of the word (in Aramaic form, the form most commonly used for this word in Kabbalah) ‫מזלא‬, meaning “[good] fortune.” Another explanation is based on the Zohar. SUKKOS IN EGYPT )‫ט‬,‫' לָנוּ (שמות י‬-‫וַ יּ ֹאמֶ ר מֹשֶ ה בִּ ּ נְ עָ ֵרינוּ וּבִּ זְ קֵ נֵינוּ נֵ ל ְֵך בְ ּ בָ נֵינוּ וּבִּ בְ נוֹתֵ נוּ בְ ּ צֹאנֵנוּ וּבִּ בְ קָ ֵרנוּ נֵ ל ְֵך כִּּ י חַ ג‬ Moshe said, “With our youth and with our elders we will go!
