I'm interested in word puzzles and gematria, and I'm looking for any Hebrew word, with the numerical value of 86, that can mean "from," "away from," "out of," or "apart from" (in any context.)


I considered בעדי as a possibility because Strong's lexicon gives "away from" as one of the possible meanings, and I considered לבדים because Strong gives "apart from" as a possible meaning.

Do you know of a word with the numerical value of 86 that can mean "from," "out of," or "apart from"?

Can לבדים mean "apart from"

I don’t know where you’re getting your interest in “apart from”, but this is a second word which has absolutely no connection with “apart from” or “away from”.

It is used five times, all in Exodus, 25:27, 30:4, 37:14, 27, 38:5. In all five uses, it has a prefixed Lamed meaning “for” with a plural BD meaning “staff (as in big stick), part”, in each case the big stick is a carrying pole.
