in section 10.2, where “knee” is the end part of a “thigh,” and therefore
the two words share the same last two letters.

This sequence of four family-related words regarding “tree” are now displayed
in their Hebrew form:

(ירפ) � (חרפ) � (פנע) � (עזג)

There are several other interesting words relating to a tree.
Examples:

• Pura, or pora, appears several times in the Bible, mostly in Ezekiel
(17:6, 31:5, 6, 8, 12, 13). While the exact meaning of the word is not
altogether clear, the description in Ezekiel gives the impression that this
term refers to small branches that stretch out of the main branches (like
79
in “And peorotav were made longer” [31:5]). The last letter of anaf
(branch) is the first letter of pura. 82

• The word “shadow” appears in the Bible fifty-three times. Many of these

instances relate to shade cast by a tree or by products of a tree, namely
products made of wood. The words “tree” and “wood” in Hebrew are
83
83
one and the same: etz. The last letter of etz (tzadi, roughly corre-
84

sponding to Z) is the first letter of tzel (shadow). Similarly, the fi rst
85
letter for the highest part of the tree, tzameret (treetop), is again the last
letter of “tree” (etz). 83
The same rule that was demonstrated for interrelated parts of the tree also
occasionally applies to parts of the human body. A special section (10.2) is dedi-
cated to demonstrate this rule, among other coincidences regarding the human
body.

2.2.2 The Route of Water in Nature
Another natural sequence of related words describes the route that water travels
from deep underground all the way to the river. In the Hebrew language, this
sequence of words shares the same typical pattern (namely, sharing of a single let-
ter) as depicted earlier for the human family and for a tree.
