CHAPTER 4 THE NAME OF GOD (JEHOVAH)
CHAPTER 4 THE NAME OF GOD (JEHOVAH) 83 83

In other words, the value of the letter yod, 10, which is also the value of the first
letter in its name, is split, in the succeeding two letters, into two numbers, 6 and

4. Thus, the value of the first letter in the name is the sum of the last two letters.
Furthermore, the 10 corresponds to a letter that represents zero-dimension, the
six corresponds to the letter that is plotted as one-dimensional, and the four cor-
responds to the letter that represents two dimensions . It is as if someone has said,
“Since the visible structures of the letters that comprise the letter-name yod indicate
creation (depicted as an expansion in space with geometrical dimensions evolving
from zero, to one, to two), then perhaps the numerical values associated with
these letters also relate a story insinuating something to do with dimensions!”
In a fantasy world, one would claim that these numerical values convey a story:
In the beginning, at the moment of creation (when the world was just a dimen-

sionless point), there were ten dimensions (the value of the first letter, yod ). These
were later split into six dimensions (unseen to us, represented by the letter vav)
and into four dimensions (our world—namely, the three spatial dimensions and
time, herewith represented by the letter dalet, plotted as a two-dimensional coor-
dinate system).
Indeed a fantasy world!

Let us next rewrite the Divine Name, Jehovah (Hebrew) and God (English),
with the numerical values of their constituent letters (as explained earlier).

Hebrew:

Jehovah = (yod = 10) + (hei = 5) + (vav = 6) + (hei = 5) =
(6 + 4) + (5) + (6) + (5) =
(6) + (4) + (16) = 26

English:

God = (G = 7) + (O = 15) + (D = 4) =
(7) + (4) + (15) = 26

What does this all mean? How has such a bizarre coincidence taken place with
two names for God, in two different words from two different languages, having
the same total numerical value (26), and concurrently preserving a pattern for the
numerical values of their constituent letters so alike (take, in the English “God,”
1 from the 7 and add to the 15 to obtain the same “numerical arrangement” as in
the Hebrew “Jehovah” )?
