Sefer HaMiddot, Counting the Omer/ספר המדות·ספירת העומר

1Counting the Omer saves one from being banished.

2During the weeks of Counting the Omer it is all the more important to immerse in a mikvah after a seminal emission.

3Through counting the Omer it is possible to overcome an informer. This is alluded to by the word L’OMeR, which is an acronym for “Me’igra Rama L’hira O’mikta (from a high place down to a deep pit).”
