analyses, which can be traced by the list of figures given adjacent to the table of
contents, are meaningful even as stand-alones. However, the analyses combined
have implications that extend far beyond. In my judgment, the statistical analyses
in this book compel one to perceive the other coincidences, which can not be
subjected to statistical analysis, in a more serious fashion than would otherwise be
justified—that is, if the statistical analyses were nonexistent.
We do hope that this book is, on the one hand, fun to read, and on the other
hand be a trigger for further exploration of coincidences that the Bible and bibli-
cal Hebrew seem to have in store in abundance. Such explorations are expected
to identify further amazing coincidences, not unlike the ones given in this book,
that may, once found, be subjected to similar rigorous statistical analysis in order
to remove their alleged coincidental nature.
Personal conclusions that one may derive from the coincidences displayed in
this book are open for anyone to deliberate and shape up. These are considered by
us to reside beyond the boundaries of the present composition.
