[1] Avoda Zara 4b, s.v. רגע
[2] After the rebellion of Korach, Hashem said to Moshe
and Aharon הבדלו...ואכלה אתם כרגע; separate yourselves from this
assembly, and I will destroy them in a moment (Bamidbar 16:21).
[3] Bilaam said תמת נפשי מות ישרים...כמהו (Bamidbar
23:10). The Jewish people are called ישרים, as is shown in ישראל- a contraction
of ישר א-ל. Another name
we are called by is ישרון (Devarim 32:15)- also from the term ישר. תמת נפשי מות ישרים...כמהו- the death of
the ישרים (Jews) was כמהו. That is to
say, multiply the letters of כמהו with each other- 20 (כ) by 40 (מ) by 5 (ה) and then by 6
(ו). Our total is
24,000!
