Where do you find the Torah's hidden messages? Rabbi Yaakov ben Asher - The Ba'al HaTurim (1270-1340) found them in gematria (number patterns), acrostics, formations of letters, Scriptural word patterns, and a novel approach to understanding a verse. (His other famous work 'Arba'ah Turim' is the basis of our Shulchan Aruch.) These two volumes contain his entire Torah commentary. (vowelized text - fine print)
