Page 6 - Coincidences in the Bible and in Biblical Hebrew

Preface to Second Edition

On December, 4, 2009, the Israeli daily, the Jerusalem Post, published an
interview with me about the findings of this book. The interview was posted on
the Internet and translated to other languages. Following this interview, numerous
communications were received and articles about the methodology used in the
book published in various local newspapers. Some writers provided me with
findings of their own. Concurrently, I continued with my own research and found
some new relationships (not yet made public). In this second edition there are two
new chapters: Chapter 21, which replaces the previous chapter and introduces a
new methodology to statistically analyze some of the “Coincidences” in this book,
and Chapter 23, which expounds the new findings. Indeed, the latter introduces
the reader, in non-technical terms, to the methodology of analysis pursued
throughout this book. Since this chapter may be read as standalone (as most other
chapters in this book), the reader is advised to read this chapter prior to (or after)
reading the introductory Chapters 1 and 2. Some minor corrections have been
applied to other chapters of the book.
As with the first edition, I will be happy to receive feedback and comments to
the findings of this book.
