the Hebrew words for “creation” (briah) 104 and “health” (briut), 105 both deriving
from a common root.
We do not attempt any explanation and leave this question open.

Example 7: “Sign,” “Omen,” “Me,” “Him”
The Hebrew for “sign,” or “omen,” is ot. 106 This word also means “letter” (in the
alphabet), though the latter usage probably does not appear in the Bible.
The word ot 106 is the basis for various notations for the subject of speech, like
“me” (oti), 107 “him” or “it” (oto), 108 “them” (otam, 109 masculine, or otan, 110 femi-
nine), and so forth.
The relationship between the two usages of the same word is hard to work
out. An immediate, uneducated logical guess is that perhaps the Hebrew language
regards all that exist as meaningful, as conveying a message to the universe, just
like the ot 106 (sign or letter).

2.4 Information in Hebrew Words Read in Reverse

Hebrew words are read from right to left. This may probably be attributed to how
letters were carved in stone in ancient times: it is easy to progress from right to left
(assuming that you are right-handed) than from left to right.

This chapter is about design in the Hebrew language. Design may be inferred
also from the highly nonproportional number of Hebrew words that, when read
from left to right, reveal hidden messages that are tightly linked to the exposed
meaning of the word, when read (properly) from right to left.

Example 1: Laban
Laban 111 is the name of an evil biblical hero, to whom chapter 15 is dedicated.
Read in reverse, it means “villain” (naval). 112
Both words in Hebrew (laban 111 turned into naval) 112 are given below:

(ל) + (ב) + (נ) � (נ) + (ב) + (ל)

Example 2: Moses
This is an exact opposite of laban. 111 Moses, read in reverse, yields Hashem, 113 one
of the names of God (meaning, literally, “the Name”).
Both names in Hebrew (“Moses” turned into Hashem) 113 are given below:

(מ) + (ש) + (ה) � (ה) + (ש) + (מ)
