Page 1 - Coincidences in the Bible and in Biblical Hebrew

RELIGION/SPIRITUALITY

Unexplainable coincidences abound in the Bible and in biblical Hebrew. For
example, the Hebrew words for “ear” and “balance” are derived from the same
philological root. But it was only toward the end of the nineteenth century
that scientists discovered that the human body’s balancing mechanism
resides in the ear. Coincidences in the Bible and in biblical Hebrew details
w
scores of such incidents, including:

• Words in Hebrew that show intent to convey a message
• Coincidences in the Hebrew language that show intent to convey
hidden information, and occasionally information that could not
be expected to be known in biblical times
• Passages in the Bible that convey or assume information or
knowledge unlikely to have been known in biblical times Coincidences in the Bible and in Biblical Hebrew
• Other coincidences from Jewish tradition or Jewish history

Author Haim Shore discusses two types of coincidences-those that can
be considered just that, and others that are subject to rigorous statistical
analysis. Altogether, nineteen analyses have been conducted with highly
significant results. Simple plots that accompany the analyses clarify their

meanings and implications so that no prior statistical know-how is required.
Genesis creation story is statistically analyzed.
