DAF DISCUSSIONS - MEGILAH 12

Yitzchak Coffer asked:

Please refer to page 4 of daf 12, Rabeinu Bachye: the Mem at the beginning of the name Memuchan stands for the name of HaShem. With this Mem Haman is destroyed. Could you please tell me what specific name of HaShem contains 40 letters?

The Kollel replies:

There are a number of Names of Hash-m, each representing a different aspect (see Insights to Yoma 37). Rabeinu Bachye there (Parshas Vayishlach, Shemos 36:12) describes the nature of this particular Name of forty letters, and the verse from which it is derived.
