based on the moon, because the same word is also used for “moon” (written the
same though pronounced slightly differently: “yareach”). 50
These three words for week and month are self-explanatory and openly con-
vey the message about their root origin. The word for year is the only one in the
Hebrew calendar that remains mute about its origin relative to the time period it
represents. As we have just realized, the missing information is contained, hidden,
within the numerical values of the letters comprising this word.

“Day,” “Night,” “Midday,” “Midnight”
“Day” in Hebrew, yom: 51

56 = (40 = ם) + (6 = ו) + (10 = י)

52a
“Night” in Hebrew, lail (lailah 52b is also occasionally used):

70 = (30 = ל) + (10 = י) + (30 = ל)

“Midday” in Hebrew, tzohoraim: 53

345 = (40 = ם)+(10 = י)+(200 = ר)+(5 = ה)+(90 = צ)

“Midnight” in Hebrew, neshef: 54

430 = (80 = ף) + (300 = ש) + (50 = נ)

As discussed in chapter 18, the division of the day into twenty-four hours
was customary in biblical times, and served as the basis for the calculation of the
duration of the synodic (lunar) month. However, the hour was divided into 1,080
parts, rather than into the minutes and seconds of today.
Is there indication, in the above Hebrew names for midnight and midday, of
the time of their occurrence (namely, at the sixth hour of the respective night and
day)?
We divide the numerical values of the Hebrew midnight (430) by that of night
(70).

“Midnight” / “Night” = 430 / 70 = 6.1429 hours
