          root B.K.R has numerical value double that of the preceding letter (in the alpha-
          bet), thus emphasizing the property which the word is intended to convey (this
          interpretation of the word bechor is attributed to the Gaon of Vilna, a Jewish sage
          living in 1720–97).
            This strange phenomenon of obtaining words that have total value  consisting
          of a single repeated digit seems to convey an intention of wishing to alert the

          word-user to the prime significance and implication of the word. In other words,
          because it may convey important relevant information, proper attention should
          be given to the total sum of the numerical values of the letters in the word (or its
          root, if the word is a verbal noun).
            In Hebrew, the numerical value of the Hebrew word for blood conveys a mes-
          sage about the four varieties of human blood, just as “snow” does regarding the
          three “varieties” of water:


                                      23
                         Blood = dam  = D.M. = 4 + 40 = 44

                                 44 = (40 = ם) + (4 = ד)

            Each letter is related to 4. The total sum of the values of the letters is also a
          repeat of 4. Note that the latter does not necessarily and logically follows from the
          former. An example: dalet (4) + tav (400) = 404.
                 24
            (Dat,  written DT, means “law, regulation” in biblical Hebrew. In nonbiblical
          Hebrew, as in today’s most common usage, it means “religion.”)


          10.3.5  Kidney
          The kidney is the part of the human body that destroy poisons that circulate in

          the blood, and excrete them in the form of urine out of the body.
                                      25
            “Kidney” in Hebrew is kiliah.  This word derives from the root K.L.H. This
          root generates a myriad of words, all of which imply “putting an end to”: destroy,
                                                                       26

          annihilate, finish off, finish, complete, “run out of.” For example, le-chalot  means

                                                               28
                          27
          “to destroy”; chalah  means “he fi nished”; and chalu ha-mayim  means “run out
          of water.”
          10.3.6  The Human Hand

          The human hand has a complex structure that qualifies it to do the many func-
          tions that it is supposed to execute. These functions require much flexibility in
