244 COINCIDENCES IN THE BIBLE AND IN BIBLICAL HEBREW
This is symbolized in Hebrew by the Hebrew letters vav, yod, and dalet,

14 = (4 = ד) + (10 = י), (6 = ו)

where the 6 stands for the day (Friday) and 14 stands for the number of hours at
the end of which man was created—and, according to Jewish tradition, the moon

started its first cycle.

The first lunar month is called Molad ve-Yad (“the renewal V.I.D”), and it

is referenced several times in various Jewish sources (for example, refer to the
Rambam source quoted earlier).

Next we look for some clues in the written Torah (remember, the “6, 14” was
based on Jewish oral tradition). To do this, we roll back twelve months from the first

lunar month (which, we remember, was on Friday). This rolling back twelve months
prior to the first lunar month (when man was created), generates an imaginary year

(since the world was created just five days earlier, and not a complete year earlier).

The first lunar renewal in this imaginary year—namely, the imaginary first renewal
5
of the moon—is called Molad of Tohu (the Renewal of Vanity, if you wish).

According to Jewish tradition, the exact time in the week of the Molad of Tohu
may be read from the Bible as follows:

1. Take the first letter in Genesis; you get the letter bet.
2. Now count forty-two letters, to arrive at the letter hei (in the word
va-vohu). 6
3. Count another forty-two letters, and you pick up the letter resh (in the
word va-yomer). 7
4. Finally, you similarly pick up the letter dalet (in the word va-yavdel). 8

These four letters, called baharad —which, according to Jewish mysticism, is

related to one of the forty-two-letter names of God—provide the final series of
letters, interpreted as follows:

(bet = 2) = second day of the week

(hei = 5) = five hours
(resh = 200, dalet = 4) = 204 parts of the hour

(Remember that an hour has 1,080 parts.)
