CHAPTER 7 UNITY, UNITY, ALL AROUND

CHAPTER 7

Unity, Unity, All Around

7.1 Introduction

This chapter addresses some aspects of the physical world, as “perceived” by the

Hebrew language and reflected in respective Hebrew words, their structures, and
their interrelationships. Corresponding (coincidental) references in modern phys-
ics and in cosmology theories are then indicated.
There are four main topics to this chapter:

• The unity of all forces (section 7.2)
• The unity of energy and space (section 7.3)
• The unity of all time tenses (section 7.4)
• The unity of time and space (section 7.5)

For all these cases, the Hebrew language treats seemingly separate entities as
though they are one and the same, with the obvious intent of demonstrating the
ever-present underlying unity, the central credo of monotheism : the oneness of
God .

7.2 The Unity of All Forces

If a Jew were required to choose one slogan to be recognized by, it would undoubt-
edly be

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God; the Lord is one” (Deut. 6:4).
