Case 4: dam (blood):
44 = (40 = ם) + (4 = ד)

“So what?” the reader may ask. Why are these cases indicative of design in the
Hebrew language?
Simply put, it’s because the single-digit, which appears repeatedly in each of
these cases (words), is tightly related to the revealed meaning of the word. Indeed,
this single digit expresses a major feature of the object that the word stands for in
each of these cases. We will elaborate on this further, relating to each case indi-
vidually, in succeeding chapters.

2.2 Information in Interrelated Hebrew Words, Visible and Hidden

There are certain sequences of words representing objects that are interrelated
in any language. Thus, if one relates to parents and children, father and son,
one generation and the next, obviously the concepts represented by these words
are interrelated. Similarly, the words “fountain,” “river,” “cloud,” and “fog” are
interrelated, since each denotes a water-carrying object. There are, however,
sequences of words, where the interrelations are more explicit than in others.
These are sequences that represent order precedence, expressed in temporal terms
(time sequence), in terms of cause and effect, or in terms of one object being part
of a greater whole, represented by another word in the sequence.
In the Hebrew language, such interrelationships would most probably be

reflected in the structure of the respective words. Observing logically interrelated
sequences of Hebrew words, one may consistently discover that interrelationships
within sequences of related concepts or objects, examples of which have just being
given, manifest themselves in corresponding words sharing letters that clearly
explain the direction of the relationship (if such exists)—or just that there is a
relationship.
The Bible repeatedly asserts the rule that if one entity is derived from another,
or the two are interrelated in some logical order, they should be similarly named
by sharing common letters. The design, to be demonstrated in this section by
several examples, thus acquires its legitimacy in the Bible itself. For example, we
have in Genesis
