    The Original Sin: who is to blame?

    Just a small point FoC... when you see "Behold" in the bible, it means there's gematria in the text written after it. Its also one of the reasons why Ezekiel sounds a bit barmy. He uses a LOT of gematria.

    I just found the ignore button. Peace on earth. Happy Passover. :-)

    The Original Sin: who is to blame?

    Beg pardon. What? [edit] Oh I see. You've calculated the whole line of Genesis 1:1, including the verb and the et & v'et. Don't you think that lacks a certain discrimination? You're also using the wrong gematria for the bible. And that stuff with the triangles and 37 is just pure nonsense.

    Before Creation: Nothing or Something

    Btw... the explosion known as the big bang has not ended. At this very moment we are inside the explosion as it continues.

    I have a question for people to ponder in their quiet moments today: Why do the names of Sarah, Hagar and Isaac all have the same value of 208? שָׂרָ֖ה Sarah 208, הָגָ֖ר ‘Hagar’ 208; יִצְחָ֑ק ‘Isaac’ 208; Happy Passover! :-)

    Biblical Gematria

    I don't think anyone really knows why the nun is missing, but perhaps since the Nun concerns both life and death, the author of 145 didn't think a letter that partially represented death was appropriate to include in his praises?

    Indeed. Or 145? One of Psalm 145's peculiarities is that there is no verse beginning with the letter nun (נ). The sequence skips from Mem to Samekh. The gematria of the verses for 145 appear to resolve into the letter values. There are about 8 acrostics in Psalms in books 4 and 5.

    No, the reason they're arranged that way is that this is the order that they operate in the alphabetic acrostic of Genesis, chapters 1 & 2, and if you ask why they are arranged that way in the alphabetic acrostic then counting the sum of the order is a logic avenue of investigation. I note that...

    That's a nice analysis. Thank you. Since I'm not a hebrew speaker I don't catch some of the more esoteric aspects of the letters, but I'll remember that. :-)

    Biblical Gematria

    Genesis 4:4 וַיִּ֣שַׁע + יְהוָ֔ה + הֶ֖בֶל + מִנְחָתֽוֹ = 260 And looked favorably YHVH Abel's offering 260 is the gate value of the left hand column of the seven palaces, which would be interesting if the other values of 282 (central column) or 235 (right column) show up.

    Biblical Gematria

    Thanks. I'm finding the 293 interesting, because it shows up just before Adam and Eve leave the garden of Eden, when it says they know good and evil; ט֥וֹב + וָרָֽע : Good + Evil = 293 קין + איש + יהוה + הֶ֙בֶל֙ + וַֽיְהִי + אָחִ֖יו = 293 Cain + Man + YHVH + Abel + and was + his brother

    From Genesis 4:1 קין + איש + יהוה = 200 Cain + Man + YHVH 1 And Adam knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain and said “I have gotten a man from YHVH".

    An Interesting challenge

    If I were to mnemonic the letters via the descriptions from the Genesis alphabetic acrostic they’d probably resemble something like this: Beth ~ Gods house, everything in Heaven and Earth. Aleph ~ Light/ Day and Night. Gimel ~ Sky / Heaven. Shin ~ Fire / Dryness / Heat. Daleth ~ Doors into and...
