Sefer HaBahir, verse 3 excerpt
"Traditional interpretation: How do we know that Torah is called a blessing?"
Wow. is unusual and clues aren't easily found as to its meaning. Nothing even comes close to it in any of my dictionaries. Any of my readers who are fluent in Hebrew are invited to provide a modern (or not so modern) literal translation this word. Nor is a 3-letter root easily identifiable at first glance.
Be that as it may, the best thing to do is to just start somewhere. I'm going to start with the preliminary hypothesis, given the context, that the 3-letter root of this word is, with various meanings which include: "apportion", "counting", "fixing numbers", "allocating for a particular purpose", "meting out", "appointing", "time and again", "repeating", "unit of weight or value", and "numbered string instrument".
The total gematria of is 176, with digit sums of 14 (1 + 7 + 6) and 5 (1 + 4).
14 is 1 more than 13 (echad). So, the word is referring to the hidden level of yachid. This is supported by the fact that yachid also has a final digit sum of 5 (total gematria is 32 => 3 + 2 = 5).
Whereas in the root the final letter is hei, in the word the hei of the root has been replaced with the letters lamed-nun. Lamed-nun has a gematria of 80, and a digit sum of 8. Chet represents binah and the first hei of the tetragrammaton, so here in the word, the hei has "switched over" to chet, and subsequently unfolded and expanded into lamed-nun. Taking all this together, we can see that the word is referring in some manner to the evolution of da'at Torah (from the prefix vav ), drawing down "wisdom" (from the 32 paths hidden in yachid) and "understanding" (from the hei-chet connection) hidden in the concealed Essence (Atzmut) into existent knowledge of Torah, with both wisdom and understanding.
Thus, a mystery Torah, drawn down from Atzmut, into wisdom, understanding and knowledge, enables and implements... (the power to develop abilities) and is hereby "apportioned" in "repeating doses" (time and again) with which to do it.

The golden age of King Solomon ended with division of the nation into two kingdoms. Yeravam reigned in the north (10 tribes of Israel), while Rechavam reigned in the south (Judah and Benjamin). Let's analyze the names of these two kings who ruled during the fracture of national unity.
Yeravam traditionally means "the nation will contend". This meaning assumes that the name is from the root meaning to "strive against", combined with the word "nation",.
However, can alternatively be separated into two meaningful portions - the gate (implying "awesome attentive awareness", from which the root is derived) and the word, where literally means "in the nation". Importantly, in this permutation, the gate does not fall into the letter beit, to form the idea of "striving against", but remains above it, to form the idea of "awesome attentive awareness". In other words, the difference between "awesome attentive awareness in the nation" and "the nation will contend" rests around the consciousness surrounding the letter beit. Does the kavanah of consciousness rest above the letter (chochmah) in keter or below it in binah? Are we acting from reason alone or from reason firmly connected to our source?
Rechavam traditionally means "expanse of the people". Just as Yeravam can be separated into two meaningful portions, likewise can Rechavam be separated into the gate (the same gate from which the root racham, protective mercy is derived) and the word, meaning "in the nation".
Again, as with Yeravam, the permutation revolves around the letter beit. Two kings, two letters, each standing against the other. Perhaps the in Rechavam ideally should be the letter mem-sofit, to form the words, merciful nation.
to. The 42-letter Divine Name (Ana B'Koach) has somehow become messed up here between the names of these two kings who ruled during the fracture. The second beit, pertaining to Rechavam, which "should be a mem-sofit", with transformation represents "closing the north side of the letter beit" . Historically, Rechavam failed to do this, became heavey-handed and merciless instead, and catalyzed rather quickly the fracture of the nation.
Additionally, the names of these two kings differ by 4 letters - with a gematria of 418, the same gematria as the word "and the letter".
reduces 4 + 1 + 8 = 13, echad (one, alef)
If the transformation of Rechavam's into a became actualized, then the re-unifying letter difference between the two would be:
13, 42 (the 4 letters, and the 2 letters, respectively)
