Sorry to all the digest-readers for all the Hebrew in this post. I
couldn't see any other way to write this.

If your difficulty is with the mechanics of what he's saying, I've tried to
explain much of it below. I am still baffled on what he means with all this,
and on some points of the technical stuff as well.
> עונה אחריו הללוי'. כ' רמב"ם פ"ג מהל' חנוכה קכ"ג פעמים הללויה עוני' בהלל
> סי' לדבר שנותיו של אהרן הכהן ע"ש ממס' סופרים
> דע הלל גמטרי' אדני
Gematria of Hallel = 65 = gematria of A-d-n-y.
> הללוי' גמטרי' אלקי'
Gematria of Halleluyah = 86 = gematria of E-lohim.
> אדני אלהים היינו ב' היהי"ן דהוי"ה ית"ש שנקראו בסוד לאה רחל
> גמטרי' ער"ד בקדושה
Adn-y E-lohim = the two heis of YH-VH (???) which are called Yesod Leah
Rachel (???)
Leah Rachel = 36+238=274
> וכשתוסף על מספר הלל הללויה הנ"ל מספר קכ"ג עולה ער"ד
65 + 86 + 123 = 274
> ע"כ במיתת אהרן וישמע הכנעני מלך ער"ד
When Aaron died, the pasuk says (Bamidbar 21:1) וישמע הכנעני מלך *ערד*...
So we see the connection between the death of Aharon and the number 274.

Not sure what this part is saying.
