• “And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh:
69
She shall be called Woman [ishah ], because she was taken out of Man
70
[ish ]” (Gen. 2:23);
• “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return to the ground
71
[adamah ]; for out of it wast thou taken” … “therefore the Lord God
71
sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground [adamah ] from
whence he was taken” (Gen. 3:19, 23; “man,” in Hebrew, is adam). 72
The phenomenon of related words sharing common letters will now be

demonstrated by several examples. We will then analyze these, attempting to find
out whether regularities may be deduced. In later chapters, other examples will be
displayed, where the same phenomenon is demonstrated with regard to sequences
of words having an element of mystery in their mutual interrelationships, that
which has been denoted here “coincidence.”
We start with sequences of words that have clear and visible contents to their
interrelationships.

2.2.1 Successive Generations in the Family and in a … Tree
Family Relationships
In the Hebrew language, family relationships manifest themselves by sharing a
common letter in such a way that the fi rst letter in a new generation is identical to
the last letter of the preceding generation. Observe this:

73
• “Father” (av) ends with the second letter in the Hebrew alphabet (bet,

standing for B, though pronounced like V). This is also the first letter in
the word Son (ben). 74
74
• “Son” (ben) ends with the letter N (nun in Hebrew). This is the first

letter in the word “grandson” (neched). 75
75

• “Grandson” (neched) ends with the letter D (dalet). This is the first letter
76
for “fourth generation,” which is called just that in Hebrew (dor reviei). For
example: “But in the fourth generation will they return here” (Gen. 15:16).
76
• “Great grandson” (dor reviei) starts with the same letter as the last letter
of the previous generation.
All these cases are displayed now with their original Hebrew letters:
