The Ana BeKoach (Ana
BeCoach or Ana B'Koach)
prayer was
written in the first century by a
great kabalistic Rabbi - Rabbi
Nehonia. The prayer was
written according to the
seventy
names of God - a term related
to Abraham. The Ana BeKoach
is composed of seven lines,
with six words in each line. The
first letter of every word is
taken, thereby creating the 42-
letter name. The combination
of Ana BeKoach is hidden in
the
first 42 letters of the book of
Genesis (From the word
BERESHIT to the word
VAVOHOO). The letters are
translated
using a secret kabalistic
calculation. Kabbalists use the
Ana
Bekoach prayer for protection,
healing and balancing.
