=== Double Alef ===

[https://www.studylight.org/commentaries/eng/bul/psalms-25.html It has been said] that Psalms 25:18-19, there is [[double Aleph]] and the [[double Reish]] connecting David’s looking up to God with God looking down. But I only find a [[Double Yod]].

[[Psalms 25]]:18 "Look upon mine affliction([[06040]](עָ֭נְיִי)) and my pain; and forgive all my sins. 19  Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. 20  O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee."

[[Psalm 119]]  was written in an acrostic pattern and every letter of the alphabet is followed by 8 verses so it is divided into 22 sets of eight-verse strophes, or sections.

In the article [https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/24641/what-is-christian-about-christian-kabbalah What is Christian about Christian Kabbalah]? they state, "If we join the double aleph which is in the text The sceptre will not be taken away, etc. [Genesis 49:10] to the double aleph which is in the text ''God possessed me from the beginning'' [Proverbs 8:22] and to the double aleph which is in the text [[But the earth was empty]] [Genesis 1:2], we may understand by the method of Kabbalah, that Jacob spoke there of the true Messiah, who was Jesus of Nazareth."

But I only see:  

[[Genesis 49]]:10  "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver([[02710]](וּמְחֹקֵ֖ק)) from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be]." Westminster Leningrad Codex לֹֽא־יָס֥וּר שֵׁ֙בֶט֙ מִֽיהוּדָ֔ה וּמְחֹקֵ֖ק מִבֵּ֣ין רַגְלָ֑יו עַ֚ד כִּֽי־יָבֹ֣א [שִׁילֹה כ] (שִׁילֹ֔ו ק) וְלֹ֖ו יִקְּהַ֥ת עַמִּֽים׃

[[Proverbs 8]]:22 ¶ "The LORD possessed (([[07069]]קָ֭נָנִי)) me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old."
With Westminster Leningrad Codex showing יְֽהוָ֗ה קָ֭נָנִי רֵאשִׁ֣ית דַּרְכֹּ֑ו קֶ֖דֶם מִפְעָלָ֣יו מֵאָֽז׃

[[Genesis 1]]:2  "And the earth was without form([[08414]](תֹ֙הוּ֙)), and void([[0922]]וָבֹ֔הוּ); and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Westminster Leningrad Codex
וְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָיְתָ֥ה תֹ֙הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ וְחֹ֖שֶׁךְ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י תְהֹ֑ום וְר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֔ים מְרַחֶ֖פֶת עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַמָּֽיִם׃
