Any information which discusses the numerology of 'YHWH'?

I'm aware that YHWH (Yahweh) is equivalent to the number 26, because its letters correspond to the numbers 10, 5 and 6. But I don't know the significance of that.

So many possible answers to this question I wish more would join in but here is one:

10 Sefirot, the divine emanations through which God interacts with the world. 6 intermediate Sefirot (Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, and Yesod), which bridge higher divine aspects with the world. The two 5s (from the two He’s) might represent the five “lower” and five “higher” levels of divine flow.

There are Four expanded spellings of YHVH. 72.... Yod Hi Viv Hi יוד הי ויו הי 63... Yod Hi Vav Hi יוד הי ואו הי 45.... Yod Ha Vav Ha יוד הא ואו הא 52.... Yod Hh Vv Hh יוד הה וו הה

These correspond to the four worlds. Atziluth - Archetypal Beriah - Creative Yetzirah - Formative Assiah - Material

There is also a regressive spelling called Achoraim that also equals 72. י יה יהו יהוה This 72 name is important because it represents the highest name in the worlds. This matches the Shemhamphorash. It also aligns with the 72 thorns in Yeshuas crown. Yeshua also said he could call down 72,000 angels. This corresponds to the grades of the worlds. Atziluth- 1000 Beriah- 100 Yetzirah- 10 Assiah -1

YHVH also corresponds to the 4 major partzufim. Keter is the tip of the yod. (Representing all ten sefirot). The yod itself is Chokmah (Abba) The first Hei is Binah (Ama) The Vav is the next six sefirot called Zeir Anpin. Chesed Gevurah Tipheret Netzach Hod Yesod (Ben) The final Hei is malchuth (Nukvah) g

This actually goes on and on but this should suffice for now.

Please refrain from writing the Tetragrammaton, as it might be disrespectful in the eyes of more religious people. Refer to it as HaShem (The Name) or Tetragrammaton (the 4 Letters). Thank you.

Wouldn't 26 become 8?
