Hebrew translation:

125. וְעוֹד, לָמָּה לֹא הָיָה בַּיּוֹם כְּפִי שֶׁשְּׁאַלְתֶּם? שָׁנִינוּ, כָּתוּב הַיּוֹם אַתֶּם יֹצְאִים, וְכָתוּב הוֹצִיאֲךָ ה’ אֱלֹהֶיךָ מִמִּצְרַיִם לַיְלָה. אֶלָּא שָׁנִינוּ, עִקַּר גְּאֻלַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא הָיָה אֶלָּא בַּלַּיְלָה, שֶׁהַלַּיְלָה מַתִּיר קְשָׁרִים וְעוֹשֶׂה נְקָמוֹת, וְהַיּוֹם הוֹצִיא אוֹתָם בְּרֹאשׁ גָּלוּי, זֶהוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב (במדבר לג) יָצְאוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּיָד רָמָה לְעֵינֵי כָּל מִצְרָיִם. (וְעוֹד, הַלַּיְלָה מַתִּיר אֶת הַקְּשָׁרִים וְעוֹשֶׂה נְקָמוֹת וְדִינִים, וְהַיּוֹם מְגַלֶּה וּמְפַרְסֵם הַנֵּס וְהַנְּקָמָה שֶׁנַּעֲשָׂה. זֶהוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב יָצְאוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּיָד רָמָה וְגוֹ’.) וְכָתוּב וּמִצְרַיִם מְקַבְּרִים אֵת אֲשֶׁר הִכָּה ה’ בָּהֶם כָּל בְּכוֹר. זֶהוּ פִּרְסוּם הַנֵּס

Zohar Mas’ei

The portion of Masei is the last one in the book of Numbers and it doesn’t have Zohar study.
The Zohar text above is from the portion of Bo and it refers to a verse from Masei.
In this portion we read the count of the 42 stations that the Israelites made on their journey to the Promised Land.

The number 42 connects us to the beginning of the book of Genesis. This first 42 letters of the Torah are the seeds for the 42 initial letters of the Ana B’Koach prayer. It also called the holy name of 42. The Ana B’Koach creates for us powerful angels with creative force.

42letters-genesis

The book of of Deuteronomy is called ‘Mishne Torah’, which means ‘the repeated Torah’. Moses repeats the story of the Israelites. The Israelites are at the gates of the Promised Land and the last portion, Mas’ei list the 42 journeys the Isarelites went through before arriving to this point.

The Torah starts and ends with the 42, a number that represents the force of Creation and new beginnings.
