FIRST TO HEAR OF THE SAVIOR |
The First Noel [נואל] within a word of the Bible appears at the first light following the birth of Israel, the place of a sudden letter/spelling/name swap:
End of Genesis 32
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel [פניאל]: for I have seen God face to face, and my life [nefesh] is preserved.
31 And as he passed over Penuel [פנואל] the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
"Noel" also appears in the name "Immanuel" [עמנואל].
In the Greek (Matthew 1:23), Immanuel is spelled Ἐμμανουήλ.
The "Noel" part is νουήλ, which = 558.
Back over in Hebrew, 558 = Jacob [יעקב, 182] + Esau [עשו, 376].
The tradition is that Jacob was wrestling with the sar (prince) of Esau.
Everyone will learn how to get along finally, ♫ Down on the Corner of Love [פינת האהבה, 558].
Forget what you knew
We'll start life anew,
Down on the corner of love.
Genesis 37
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
12 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
The First Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

Cheers! [L'Chaim! !לחיים] "Where everybody knows your name"..
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.Beth L'Chaim. Great name for a pub. Kind of like the saying that your name is your blessing.
How many languages is that? English, French, Hebrew, Greek, and Punish.
