Chapter 1
Introduction
1.1 Overview
Computronic Corporation, the leading biblical software developer in Israel, is proud to release
The Keys to the Bible, the most complete, powerful, and easy to use program designed to
explore the surface of the Bible and research its depths. We hope that through the use of this
software the user will achieve new insights about the Bible.
The Keys to the Bible incorporates all the features that placed Bible Codes Plus and Bible
Codes 2000 at the top of the biblical software ranked by reviewers. The team of software
engineers and scholars in Computronic has added many new, unique and powerful features to
The Keys to the Bible that will delight its users. Many of these features are not present in other
biblical programs, and can only be found in this program. The Keys of the Bible has all of
these features together in one coordinated software program.
The Keys to the Bible allows people who have no knowledge of Hebrew at all, to search the
Hebrew text with great ease. The program includes bilingual parallel columns of the biblical
text, and extensive bilingual data bases, including a comprehensive dictionary
Hebrew/English, a Lexicon, a list of biblical names, a list of first names.
1.2 Concordances: English, Hebrew, and Festivals

The English Concordance allows the user to find the location in the text of any word in
seconds, and see it at the same time in context in the biblical text, see all its occurrences in
the text, and count how many times it appears.
The Hebrew Concordance does all of the above, plus it allows to find all the Hebrew words
that share the same root. There is no printed or electronic concordance that equals it.
The Festival Concordance shows the locations of all the Festivals mentioned in the Bible, and,
at the same time, see the appropriate verse in the text in the background.
1.3 A powerful “GoTo” feature

With The Keys to the Bible you can GoTo any location, verse, chapter, book, in seconds, or
you can search for any word or phrase and find it in seconds.
1
By typing today’s date in the Secular to Hebrew Calendar screen, the program will even take
you to the Parasha of the week, (portion of the Torah read on Saturdays in the synagogues).
1.4 Retrieving verses

The program allows you to retrieve verses by keywords, by range of text, and by six other
retrieval methods.
1.5 The 613 commandments of the Torah according to Maimonides

The program includes a unique feature not found in other biblical software: the exhaustive list
of commandments, mandatory and prohibitory, that Maimonides, the greatest biblical scholar
of the last two thousand years, found in the Torah. By clicking in any of the commandments,
the program takes you to the appropriate verse in the text.
1.6 The search for encrypted codes in the biblical text

In 1994 three world known mathematicians from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
published a study proving the existence of hidden codes in the biblical text, that include all
past, present, and future events. The program uses the same mathematical method described
by the three scientists to decode the Bible, with many additional features over past versions.
For example, the program now allows searching the retrieved matrix vertically as well as
horizontally. And most important, the program now automatically produces a report of all the
parameters of the search, and its findings, which can be printed or pasted in a word processor
document.
1.7 The most complete Gematria feature of any program!

Gematria is the substitution of numbers for the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, according to a
set system. This method of exegesis has been used since the time of the Second Temple to
derive insights into the sacred writings, to obtain interpretations of the text, or to illustrate a
secular matter.
There is at least one example of Gematria in the New Testament, in the Book of Revelation,
where the name of Nero, the Roman emperor, is disguised by writing the Greek form of his
name in Hebrew characters, giving it a Gematria value of 666, (Revelation 13:18).
2
The program includes 8 different Gematria methods, including a unique one: a user specified
table of Gematria values.
1.8 Many other unique and powerful features

The program takes into consideration the religious preferences of users who prefer not to see
or print the whole name of G-d, and gives them that option.
You can turn "nikud" (Hebrew vowels) on and off. You can choose whether to see the
numbers of the Hebrew verses as numbers or Hebrew letters.
If you prefer to see the Hebrew text in larger size fonts, you can choose to do so from many
different sizes.
The program includes bilingual commentaries of the Torah verses by Rashi, the greatest
biblical commentator.
And other unique features, such as Letter Substitution, Letter analysis, Biblical
Chronology, date converter, anagram, summary of each Bible book, and many others.
1.9 Included free: Four wonderful bonuses

• Bible Quiz - The best Bible game for the whole family, challenging, educational, and
entertaining! Over 4,000 multiple answer questions in different categories, and three levels

them on the screen and print them. You can also paste them into a word
processor's document.
• Biblical Screen Saver
A slide show with over 100 classic illustrations by Gustave Dore, the greatest
biblical artist of the 19th century. Each slide indicates the verse to which it
corresponds, and presents the Bible quotation in English and Hebrew.

5.5 The Show “Nikud” option of the View Menu

The Hebrew alphabet only has consonants. It lacks vowels. (If English would be written as

practice and custom, the corresponding vowel sounds.
The vowel signs, (“nikud"), used today in Israel in books for children and new immigrants, in
prayer books and printed Bibles, (but not in hand written Torah scrolls), were added by the
school of Masoretes (Traditionalists), that flourished in the city of Tiberias, in the Galilee,
between the 7th and 8th centuries of this era. In Israel today newspapers and magazines do not
include "nikud".
Click this option of the View Menu in the Main Screen and in the Matrix screen shows the

Chapter 8
The Gematria Menu
of the Main Screen
8.1 What is Gematria?

Hebrew is probably the only language which still uses letters to represent numbers in certain
cases, such as in the numbering of the chapters and verses of the Bible.
The first nine letters of the alphabet represent the numbers 1 to 9 respectively; the next ten
letters represent the numbers 10, 20… to 90; and the last four represent 100 to 400.
Gematria is the substitution of numbers for the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, according to a
set system. This method of exegesis has been used since the time of the Second Temple to
derive insights into the sacred writings, to obtain interpretations of the text, or to illustrate a
secular matter.
Rule #29 of the 32 rules in the Baraita of the Talmud considers Gematria as one of the
methods for interpreting the Torah.
The Talmud gives the following example of interpretation of using Gematria of the following
verse:
And when Abram heard that his kinsman was taken captive, you armed his disciples who had
been born in his house – three hundred and eighteen – and you pursued them as far as Dan,
(Genesis 14:14).
The Talmud, considering that the name of Eliezer, Abraham’s servant, has a Gematria value
of 318, (Aleph 1 + Lamed 30 + Yod 10 + Ayin 70 + Zayin 7 + Resh 200 = 318), and this
number equals the number of 318 mentioned in the verse, comes to the conclusion that
Abraham, when you went after the kidnappers of his nephew, was accompanied only by
Eliezer!
Another example: Genesis 28:12 relates that Jacob saw a ladder stretching from earth to
heaven. The numerical value of the biblical word for ladder in this verse is 130, which is the
same number for Sinai. The exegetes, therefore, have concluded that man can reach heaven by
means of the Law revealed to Moses in Sinai.
There is at least one example of Gematria in the New Testament, in the Book of Revelation,
where the name of Nero, the Roman emperor, is disguised by writing the Greek form of his
name in Hebrew characters, giving it a Gematria value of 666, (Revelation 13:18).
23
As mentioned above, Gematria can also be used to illustrate secular matters. For example, it is
said that when wine comes in, secret goes out. Both words in Hebrew have the same
numerical value, (70), which means that they cancel each other.
8.2 The numerical value of the Hebrew letters

The Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters. The first ten, from aleph to yod are numbered
consecutively from 1 to 10. The next eight letters, from Kav to Tzadik are numbered from 20
to 90, with intervals of 10 between them. The last four letters equal 100, 200, 300 and 400,
respectively.
There are five letters in the Hebrew alphabet that have a different shape when they are placed
as the last letter of a word. These letters are‚ ‫צ‬, ‫כ ‚מ ‚נ ‚פ‬. Their respective end shapes,
(called sofiot) are ‫ך‚ם‚ן‚ף‚ץ‬
The final form letters, (‫ץ‬ ,‫ ף‬,‫ ן‬,‫ ם‬,‫ )ך‬have the same values as their normal form letters, (for
example ‫ כ‬and ‫ ך‬have the same value: 20), except when you specify the Great Numbers
alternative, where the final form letters are considered as a continuation of the alphabet, with
their own value: 900 = ‫ץ‬ ,800 = ‫ף‬ ,700 = ‫ן‬ 700 =‫ם‬ , 600 = ‫ך‬
When the Great Numbers Feature is not marked On, the sofiot letters have the same
numerical value as in their normal shapes. When this feature is marked On, the sofiot letters
have a different value in some of the Gematria methods.
This is the basic calculation from which, during over 2,000 years, many systems of Gematria
have been developed.
Note: When searching for hidden codes the program does not differentiate between the
normal and final forms of the letters.
8.3 Table of Values

Clicking this option of the Help Menu or the command button in any screen where it appears,
brings the numerical Table of Values to the screen.
The top row shows the eight Gematria methods. Click on any of them to see in the table
below all the letters accompanied by their respective value.
24
You can mark ON the Gematria using great numbers to see the value of the great numbers
wherever they are applicable.
The window includes the following button commands:

Define User Specified Value By clicking on it you can enter User Specified Values.
Print Click on it to print the table.
Close Click on it to close the window.

8.12 The Eight Gematria methods

This program includes eight different Gematria methods:
Ragil This is the basic and most frequently used Gematria method. Each letter of the
alphabet, starting from Aleph = 1, has its own numerical value.
• The numerical value of a word, phrase, or string of characters, is the sum of the
numerical value of its entire letters.
• When the Greater Numbers Value is marked On, the five sofiot letters do not
have the same values as their regular shapes. Instead they have the following
values: ‫ = ך‬500; ‫ = ם‬600; ‫ = ן‬700; ‫ = ף‬800; and ‫ = ץ‬900.
• The word Shalom ‫ שלום‬in this method has a numerical value of 376
Katan In this Gematria method:
• All the tens and hundreds are reduced to single numbers, 1 to 9. Aleph, yod,
and Kuf have all the same numerical value of 1.
• The Greater Numbers Value feature does not apply in this method.
Klali In this Gematria method:
• The numerical value of a word is the square of the sum of the Ragil values of
each letter in that word.
• When the Greater Numbers Value is marked On, the five sofiot letters do not
have the same values as their regular shapes. Instead they have the following
values: ‫ = ך‬500; ‫ = ם‬600; ‫ = ן‬700; ‫ = ף‬800; and ‫ = ץ‬900.
30
Millui In this Gematria method:

• Each letter has the numerical value of the sum of the Ragil values of all
the letters that make up the name of each letter.
• The Greater Numbers Value feature does not apply in this method.
Kolel In this Gematria method:
• The numerical value of each letter consists of the sum of the Ragil values
of the letters plus the number of letters in the specified word.
• When the Greater Numbers Value is marked On, the five sofiot letters do
not have the same values as their regular shapes. Instead they have the
following values: ‫ = ך‬500; ‫ = ם‬600; ‫ = ן‬700; ‫ = ף‬800; and ‫ = ץ‬900.
Hakadmi In this Gematria method:
• The numerical value of each letter consists of its Ragil value, plus the
accumulated numerical value of the preceding letter.
following values: ‫ = ך‬1995; ‫ = ם‬2595; ‫ = ן‬3295; ‫ = ף‬4095; and ‫ = ץ‬4995.
Haperati In this Gematria method:
• The numerical value of each letter is the square of its Ragil value.
• The numerical value of each word is the sum of all the square values of
its component letters.
following values: ‫ = ך‬250000; ‫ = ם‬360000; ‫ = ן‬490000; ‫ = ף‬640000;
and ‫ = ץ‬810000.
User Specified The program allows the user to specify the values for each letter. You
can do this in two different places in the program:
• In the User Specified Gematria Values option of the Gematria Menu.
You highlight the value of any letter, type the number that you want, and
click OK.
• In The Table of Values option of the Help Menu. Click the Define user

Chapter 9
The Letter Substitution option
of the Gematria Menu
9.1 The Letter Substitution option of the Gematria Menu

Letter substitution is a cryptic writing technique in which letters are substituted by other
letters, according to four different methods.
Atbash This method substitutes the first letter of the alphabet, Aleph for the last one,
Tav, and vice versa; the second letter Beth for the penultimate letter, Shin, and
vice versa; and so on. This method was used by the prophet Jeremiah when
he substituted the word ‫ בבל‬with the word ‫ששך‬, (Jeremiah 25:26 and 51:41).
Atbach There are some sub-variations in this method. The one used in this program is
called Rashi Meduyak, which has the following substitutions: Aleph for Tet;
Beth for Het; and so on. The letters Heh and Nun are not substituted and
remain the same.
Previous Each letter is substituted by the previous letter in the alphabet. For example,
Gimmel is substituted by Beth. In this method Aleph is substituted by Tav.
Next Each letter is substituted by the next letter in the alphabet. For example, Beth
is substituted by Gimmel. In this method Tav is substituted by Aleph.
9.2 The Letter Substitution window

This window includes the following elements, from top to bottom:
• The Input Phrase field where you can type a word, phrase or string of characters which
you wish to substitute for other letters.

field; and the Virtual Hebrew Keyboard icon.
• Five lines: the first one shows the word, phrase or string which appears in the Input
Phrase field, each letter in its own square; the Atbash line which shows the substituted
letters according to the Atbash method; the Atbach line which shows the substituted
letters according to the Atbach method; the Previous line which shows the substituted
letters according to the Previous method; and the Next line which shows the substituted
letters according to the Next method,
• The bottom line has two buttons: Print, to print the information in the Letter Substitution
window; and Close, to exit the window.

The 613 Commandments option
14.1 The 613 commandments of the Torah

The list of 613 Commandments was compiled by Rambam, (acronym for Rabbi Moses Ben
Maimon, also called Maimonides), the rabbi and medical doctor universally considered the
greatest Jewish theologian and philosopher since the Talmud era. These 613 commandments,
- 248 of them mandatory, and 365 of them prohibitions - regulate all aspects of Jewish life.
This unique feature includes a link to the Torah sources, a glossary, and an index.
14.2 About Rambam (Maimonides)

Maimonides is the most illustrious figure in Judaism since the Talmudic era, the most
distinguished and famous Jewish personality of the Middle Ages, and one of the greatest of all
time. It is said about him, “Mi Moshe ad Moshe ein kmo Moshe”, i.e. “From Moses to Moses
there was not one like Moses”. The influence of Maimonides on the development of Judaism
is incalculable. His influence in his own and subsequent generations has no equal.
He was a royal physician, the greatest rabbinical authority of the last thousand years, a
codifier, and a philosopher, whose work is studied and honored today by people of all
backgrounds and religions. His books show him as the supreme rationalist and an
unemotional man of intellect, while in his letters he reveals himself to be a warm human
being, his heart open to the suffering of his people, and responding to both affection and
hostility. His view, expressed on the last chapter of his great work, Mishneh Torah, that the
messianic age is nothing more than the attainment of political independence in Israel, marks
him as a precursor of modern Zionism.
Rambam was born in 1135 in Cordoba, Spain. His father Maimon was a renowned scholar
and a leader of the Jewish community. In 1148, when Moses was 13 years old, Cordoba was
conquered by the Almohads, a religious Muslim and political movement which originated in
the High Atlas Mountains among the Berbers. Their fanaticism led to persecutions of
Muslims and non-Muslims in Africa and Spain. Maimon and his family escaped Cordoba, and
for the next twelve years they wandered from place to place in Spain. It was during those
years of wandering that Maimonides laid the strong foundations of his vast and varied
learning, and began his literary work.
44
In the year 1160 the family settled in Fez, where the Almohad ruler had become more
moderate in his attitude to the Jews. Maimonides continued his general studies, particularly
medicine, and worked at his commentary on the Mishna.
In 1165, when his teacher Judah ibn Susan who had been called upon to forsake his religion,
preferred death to apostasy, Maimonides with his father and family escaped from Fez, and a
month later landed in Acre, in the land of Israel, where they remained for five months. During
that time they toured the Holy Land, visited Jerusalem, and the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron.
The family then left the land of Israel and sailed for Egypt. They stayed for a short while in
Alexandria, and then moved to Cairo, where Maimonides’ father died. The family took up
residence in Fostat, the Old City of Cairo.
During the following eight years Moses lived a life free from care, supported by his brother
David, who dealt in precious stones. He devoted himself entirely to prepare his works for
publication, and to his unpaid work as both religious and lay leader of the Jewish community
of Cairo.
In 1169 his brother David, while on a business trip, drowned in the Indian Ocean, leaving a
wife and two children, and losing not only the family fortune but also money belonging to
others. Maimonides was deeply affected, and for a full year he lay almost prostrate, until he
got over his depression and sought a means of livelihood.
He rejected the thought of earning a livelihood from Torah, and decided to work in the
medical profession. His first wife had died young, and Maimonides remarried in Egypt, taking
as a wife the sister of Ibn Almali, a royal secretary, who himself married Maimonides’ only
sister.
His reputation grew slowly, until in 1185 he was appointed as one of the physicians of the
ruler of Egypt. In the meantime he had been recognized as the official head of the Jewish
community of Fostat.
It was during those years, although he was busy with his busy medical practice, (he was
obligated to visit the sultan every day to treat his children, concubines, and officials, besides
treating his numerous own private patients, both Jews and Muslims), occupied with the affairs
of the community, and with holding an extensive correspondence with Jews in many other
parts of the world, that he wrote his two monumental works, the Mishneh Torah ,- where he
confines himself to a codification of the Jewish law, without expressing his personal views -,
and the Guide to the Perplexed, - designed for those whose faith had been weakened by
current philosophies and doctrines, and its aim was to tell the reader why he should adhere to
traditional Judaism.
45
Maimonides died on December 13, 1204. Public mourning was ordained in all parts of the
Jewish world. In Fostat mourning was ordained for three days. His remains were taken to
Tiberias for burial, and his grave is still an object of pilgrimage.

The Search Codes Screen
in the Codes Menu
16.1 The Search Codes Screen

Clicking the Search Codes option of the Codes Menu opens the Search Codes Screen, which
has the following elements:
• Range of text to be searched

The upper part of the Search Codes Screen allows you to specify from which
book/chapter/verse to which book/chapter/verse will be the search range, or you can click
on the Torah Command Button, (for all five books of Moses), or the All Books Command
Button for all the books in the Hebrew Scriptures.
• Key Code Input Field

This is the input field where the Key Code, (the word or phrase that the program will
search for), will be inserted either by typing on the computer's keyboard or in the on-
screen Hebrew keyboard, or by copying and pasting from one of the dictionary bilingual
databases.
Please take note of the following:
a) If the code that you are entering has more than one word, (for example <First
name> and <Last name> of a person), write them without a space between the
words.
b) The maximum number of characters that a code can have is 30.
c) The codes can be entered either by typing directly from the keyboard, or by
clicking the keys in the On-screen Transliteration Keyboard.
d) The codes can be pasted from any of the six bilingual databases included in the
program, Dictionary, Lexicon, My dictionary, Bible names, First names and
Years. The codes can also be pasted from the following functions: Date
Converter, Numbers Converter, Anagram, and from the optional companion
program Jerusalem Dictionary, (see the appendix for its description).
e) If the code entered is not yet included in any of the six bilingual databases, the
program will ask you to enter its English translation, and will add this new entry
to the “My dictionary” database.
Note: The program will find occurrences of the key code up to a maximum of 10,000
only in the specified range of text.
• Minimum and maximum skip intervals
51
Skip interval is the specified equal distance between each of the letters of the Key Code.
It can be a minimum of 1 and a maximum limited only by a computer calculation based
on the total number of letters in the specified range of text divided by the number of
letters in the key code. The maximum skip interval can be typed by the user, or, if he
clicks on the Maximum button, the program will automatically enter the maximum
possible skip number for that range of text.
If you had typed as a maximum skip value a number that is not mathematically suitable to
the specified range of text and the specified key code, the program will automatically
modify it to the mathematically maximum number possible.
• Alternative Codes Input Fields

The Alternative Codes are user specified words or phrases which have, according to the
user, a meaningful relationship to the Key Code. The program will search if they can be
found in the same matrix as the Key Code.
The Alternative Codes are optional. You can either enter one to six Alternative Codes, -
each in its own Input Field, where you can type the code to be searched, or copy and paste
it from any of the databases, - or not enter any.
If the Alternative Code that you had specified does not yet exist in any of the databases,
the program will request that you enter its English translation.
Note: The Alternative Codes specified in this screen will only be identified in the matrix
if they are found in a horizontal or vertical direction, not in the diagonal direction.
• The On-screen Transliteration Keyboard

The On-screen Transliteration Keyboard can be called to the screen by clicking on the
Keyboard Icon. It shows the Hebrew characters in black and below each of them appear
the equivalent English characters in red. Please take note of the following:
a) In a few cases the same Hebrew character represents two or three English
characters.
b) The red English letters are not in the standard QWERTY order, but according to the
standard Hebrew keyboard layout.
c) The sign (f) next to a letter shows that its shape is according to its final position in a
word. You can disregard this, as it has no effect whatsoever in the identification and
retrieval of the code.
d) The red letters Sh represent one sound, as in the word Shalom.
e) The red letters TZ represent one sound in Hebrew that does not exist in English. An
example is the word tzadik.
f) To close the On-screen Transliteration Keyboard click on its top right hand corner
or on the Keyboard icon.
• The list of bilingual databases

The list of bilingual databases, from which you can copy and paste into the input fields,
includes the following: Dictionary, Lexicon, My dictionary, Bible Names, First Names,

16.2 Calculate statistics

Clicking the Calculate Statistics Command Button in the Search Screen makes the program
calculate the expected number of occurrences of the specified Key Code, (both as entered and
also in the reverse order of the letters), taking into account the range of the text, and the
minimum and maximum skip intervals. The program will inform you the number of letters,
words and verses present in the specified range of text, the number of letters in the Key Code,
the maximum possible number of skip intervals, (if this is less than the maximum number
which you had specified, the program automatically corrects your number), and the expected
number of occurrences. After the search for the codes has ended, the Display Codes Found
Screen will appear. In its bottom right corner it gives you the Statistics Report, comparing the
expected number of occurrences to the actual number found, calculates the Standard
Deviation, (see its definition below), and according to that it informs you the odds.
The program uses Probability Theory to find out the odds of finding a specified code, (which
we call “Expected Number of Occurrences”), compares it to the actual number of found
codes, (“Hits”), and finds out the statistical significance of the difference, (i.e. “Standard
Deviation”), if any, between Expected Number of Occurrences and Hits. If the number that
represents the Standard Deviation is larger than 0, the odds against the event being caused by
random factors becomes also proportionally larger.
16.3 Statistical formula used by the program

The program uses the following formula to determine the Standard Deviation, (the difference
between the Expected Number of Occurrences and the number of Hits, i.e. occurrences
actually found):
Expected Number of Occurrences – Hits .

Square root of Expected Number of Occurrences
Example: Assume that the program expected to find 4 occurrences, but found only 3:
Expected Number of Occurrences 4

Hits -3
Square root of Expected Number of Occurrences √4 2
Expected Number of Occurrences 4 – Hits 3 1

Square root of Expected Number of Occurrences 2 2
Standard Deviation = 0.50
54
In the above example, the Standard Deviation of 0.50 is very low, which means that the
difference between the expected 4 and the 3 hits was caused by random factors.
Another example:
When we toss a die, (which has six sides), 1,000 times, choosing each time, let’s say, the side
with the two dots, we should expect to guess rightly, (“Expected Number of Occurrences”) 1
in 6 times, i.e. about 167 times (1000/6 = 166.66). But if our guess turns out to be correct,
(“Hits”), only 42 times, then the “Standard Deviation” is quite large, (about 4), and
consequently the odds that the results were not caused randomly are also extremely large.

17.8 About the Hebrew calendar
The present Hebrew, i.e. Jewish calendar, is lunisolar, the months being reckoned according
to the moon and the years according to the sun.
A month is the period of time between one conjunction of the moon with the sun, (the point in
time at which the moon is directly between the earth and the sun – but not on the same plane –
and therefore it is invisible), and the next. The solar year exceeds the lunar year by about 11
days. Therefore an extra month is added in each of seven out of the 19 years that constitute
the lunar cycle.
“Rosh Hashanah”, the first of the year falls on the first day of the month of Tishri, which is
usually during the month of September or October. For more detailed information see

You can type the word in the Input Field, or copy and paste it from the bilingual databases. To
start the procedure click the Find command button.
If any words are found, they will be shown with their translation, (except if they were found
in the Concordance), and next to them a letter which indicates where each word was found: B
if found in the Biblical Names, C if found in the Concordance, D if found in the Dictionary, F
if found in First Names, L if found in the Lexicon, M if found in My Dictionary, N if found in
Numbers.
Below the found words there is a row of GoTo buttons which you can click to go to the
source where the word was found, e.g. Concordance or Lexicon.

The Rashi Menu
of the Main Screen
18.1 About Rashi

Rashi, (acronym for Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac), is the greatest commentator on the Bible and
the Talmud. His commentary on the Bible, and particularly on the Torah, (which is included
in this software), has had the most profound influence on Jewish studies. The first known
Hebrew work to be printed, (1475), is Rashi’s commentary of the Torah, and since then,
hardly an edition of the Hebrew Bible for Jewish use has appeared without his commentary.
He was born at Troyes, France in 1040, the son of a scholar. Troyes, at that time, was the
capital city of the Champagne region, and an important commercial center. Rashi learned
about different currency standards, banking, trade, soldiering, engraving, and embroidering
silk with gold, as well as agriculture and husbandry. After he married he went to study in the
great Jewish academies of Mainz and Worms.
At the age of 25, he returned to Troyes, but continued in close relations with his teachers,
returning to the academies from time to time to discuss unclear Talmudic terms with them.
About five years later, in 1070, when he was thirty years old, he founded his own school
which attracted many pupils, and whose importance and fame soon surpassed those of Mainz
and Worms.
He had three daughters who married prominent scholars, and had sons who became famous
for their learning.
During the massacres of the First Crusade, (1095-106) he lost many friends and relatives. He
died in 1105, at the age of 65. It is not known where he was buried.
The main characteristic of Rashi’s commentary is a compromise between the literal and the
midrashic interpretations, adding the former to the latter, which till then had been the
principal method of exposition in Jewish biblical exegesis.
Three quarters of his comments are based on rabbinic sources. The original commentaries are
mainly philological explanations. His aim was easier understanding and lucidity. As he
himself said, “I am only concerned with the literal meaning of the Scriptures”.
64
Rashi centers his commentaries on meticulous analysis of the language of the text, and was an
outstanding philologist and linguist. His language is concise and straightforward. Sometimes
his terseness is due to his assuming that the reader is fully acquainted with the relevant
details. He explained many difficult problems with just a word or a mere hint. His honesty led
him to declare in many instances, “I do not know what it is”.
He refrained from dealing with problems associated with philosophy, mysticism, and he
usually did not deal with moralistic appreciations of the Patriarchs’ actions, such as the
driving out of Hagar.

Chapter 21
The Search Procedure
in the Search Codes Screen
21.1 Introductory remarks

The Bible Codes theory states that hidden messages were encoded in the Bible by an
encryption method called “the Equidistant Letter Sequence”, (or Skip Interval), an encoding
procedure that takes every nth letter, (where the n value can be any number chosen by the
encoder), in order to form a word or phrase. For example, the word Torah is found in the first
verses of the books of Genesis, in both cases starting from the first letter tav in each book,
with a skip interval of 50 between the letters.
The procedure of finding a code is a matter of trial and experiment, requiring a measure of
patience. The researcher, after specifying the word that he wants to search, (which is called
the Key Code), chooses a range of text in the Bible, and lets the computer scan the text with
successive equidistant skip intervals, starting from one and continuing until reaching the
specified (or computer determined) maximum number of skips.
For example, if the specified range of text is the Torah, (the first five books of the Bible), the
program first arranges the text into a continuous string of 30,805 Hebrew letters, then it starts
searching, from the first letter of Genesis, (or from the first letter if the specified range of text
starts from some other verse), skipping from letter to letter by one skip, then two, and so on,
until it reaches the maximum skip value specified by the researcher.
If the program, checking by one skip, does not find the specified Key Code, it renews the
search from the second letter of Genesis, (or from the second letter if the specified range of
text starts from some other verse), and repeats the skip search from letter to letter by one skip,
then two, and so on, until it reaches the maximum skip value specified by the researcher.
If the program again does not find the specified Key Code, it starts with the third letter, and so
on until if finds the specified word. If the code is not found, the user should try searching for a
substitute key code.
It is quite possible to find the Key Code in more than one skip interval, in which case the
program, when it finishes the search procedure, will give a list showing all the occurrences
found of the Key Code, with the skip interval of each and their location in the biblical text.
When the researcher clicks one of the found Key Codes, the program retrieves the range of
text where the Key Code was found, rearranging the text into a two dimensional array or
71
matrix where the length of each line in the retrieved text is the nth distance in the equidistant
skip interval.
For example, the name Yitzhak Rabin (in Hebrew) which is found encoded only once in the
whole of the Torah (the Five Books of Moses), in Deuteronomy, from chapter 2, verse 33, to
chapter 2, verse , at an equidistant skip interval of 772, (i.e. a distance of 772 between each of
the letters that form the name Yitzhak Rabin). The program retrieves this text arranging it in
lines of equal length (772 letters in each line, with no spaces between them). In this way the
code Yitzhak Rabin appears in a vertical column.
21.2 The Search procedure

To start the Search click the Search Command Button in the Search Codes Screen. The
program will scan the specified range from the minimum skip interval specified to the
maximum, first with the letters in the order that you entered them, and then in reverse order.
If you had specified, for example, that the search should be in the whole Torah, with a
minimum skip interval of 5 letters and a maximum skip interval of 10, the program will do the
complete run of the Torah searching for the Key Code word at a distance of 5 letters between
each of the letters, then it will repeat the search, from the beginning of the Torah, to search the
word at a distance of 6 letters, and so on.
The Search Report Window, at the bottom of the screen, will show the book which is being
currently searched, and the number of occurrences, if any, which the program has found until
that moment.
After the program has found the code in the order that you entered the letters, it will search for
the code in the reverse order of the letters. You can click the Stop button to stop the search at
any moment. (In certain computers you might have to click repeatedly before the search
comes to a stop).
When the program finishes the search it will automatically open the Display Codes Found
screen, where it informs you how many occurrences of the code were found.
21.3 Limit of number of occurrences that the program can find

The program can find a maximum of 10,000 occurrences during each search, even when the
expected number of occurrences is larger. (From a statistics point of view such a large number
has no statistical significance).
72
If you wish to find all the occurrences when their expected number exceeds 10,000 there is a
way to do it. The solution is to search in stages, in several “rounds”. For example you could
specify in the “first round” a minimum skip of 1 to a maximum of 100; then in the “second
round” a minimum skip of 101 to a maximum of 200, and so on. Another possible solution is
to limit the range of text for each “round”, doing for example one book in each “round”.
73
Chapter 22
The Display Codes Found Screen
22.1 The Display Codes Found Screen

When the program finishes finding occurrences of the Key Code in the specified range of text,
the program will automatically bring the Display Codes Found window to the screen, which
shows the total number of Key Codes found, the name of this list, (if you had previously
saved it and given it a name), the list of all the occurrences of the Key Code that were found
according to the specified parameters of text range and skip intervals, the English translations
of the found codes, and a Statistical Report.
You can also open the Display Codes Found window by clicking the option of the same name
in the Codes Menu of the Main Screen.
The Bible text showing the highlighted letter is seen on the background. You can scroll the
highlighted letters and the Bible text behind will also scroll.
When you move from one found occurrence to the next one, the screen shows how many (if
any) Alternative Codes were found together with that same occurrence.
22.2 Description of the Display Codes Found window

Each of the letters of the code appears in its own line, in columns under the following
headings, from right to left:
# This is the number of the occurrence. If more than one was found, the first one
will have number 1, the second number 2, and so on.
Skip This is the equidistant skip between the letters in this occurrence.
Letter This is one of the letters that together make the found occurrence.
Book This is the name of the Bible book where the letter in that particular line is
located.
Chapter This is the chapter in the Bible book where the letter in that particular line is
located.
74
Verse This is the verse in the chapter in the Bible book where the letter in that particular
line is located.
Word This is the word in the verse in the chapter in the Bible book where the letter in
that particular line is located.
Position This is the position occupied by the letter in the word where it was found. For
example, the letter a in the word water occupies position number 2.
Letter number This is the number of the letter, counting from the first letter of the Bible.
22.3 Buttons and commands in the Display Codes Found windows

The following buttons and commands appear in this screen:
Show Key Codes only

You can either show the locations of all the Key Codes or you can show only the location of
the Key Codes which are accompanied by Alternative Codes, (if any were found). Click this
to switch between the modes.
Retrieve Matrix
Clicking this button retrieves the range of text where the highlighted code appears, from its
first letter to its last, and the length of each line automatically will be the same as the
equidistant skip interval, shown in the Matrix screen.
List: Save/Open
Clicking this button opens the List of Codes Saved screen where you can either save the
current list, or open a previously saved list.
Go to Text
Clicking this button closes the screen and takes you to the text.
Print List
Clicking this button prints the list of the occurrences found specifying the location of each
letter, (book, chapter, verse, word, position of letter in word, and letter number).
Cancel
Clicking this button returns you to the previous screen.
Sorting Order
The codes can be sorted according to location, skip distance or by alphabetical order of the
codes.
75
22.4 Statistical Report in the Display Codes Found windows

The Display Codes Found Screen, in its bottom right corner, gives you the Statistics Report,
comparing the expected number of occurrences to the actual number found, calculates the
Standard Deviation, and according to that it informs you the odds.
The program uses Probability Theory to find out the odds of finding a specified code, (which
we will call “Expected Number of Occurrences”), compares it to the actual number of found
codes, and finds out the statistical significance of the difference, (called “Standard
Deviation”), if any, between the expected number of occurrences and the actual number
found. If the number that represents the Standard Deviation is much larger than 0, the odds
against the event being caused by random factors becomes also proportionally larger.
“Found occurrences” are the actual number of times that a code is found in the specified
range of text, according to the minimum to the maximum equidistant skip intervals specified
by the user.
“Expected Number of Occurrences” are calculated automatically by the program by taking

into account how many times each letter of the Key Code appears in the specified range of the
text, the total sum of all the letters in that same range of text, and the minimum and maximum
skip intervals.
“Standard Deviation” is the measure of the variability (dispersion or spread) of any set of
numerical values about their arithmetic mean. In plain language, Standard Deviation is the
difference between “Expectations” and “Found”.
“Odds” are the ratio of the probability of an event occurring to the probability of its not
occurring. The higher the Odds, the less the probabilities that the occurrence of the event was
caused by random factors.
If the program expected number of occurrences exceeds 10000, the search will automatically
stop at that number, and the Statistical Report in the Display Codes Found screen will show
the message No meaningful data.

Chapter 23
Exercises for beginners
who wish to decode the Bible
23.1 Explanation for beginners

The program uses the awesome power of the computer to analyze a specified range of Biblical
text in search of a code which the user as entered. Once found, a matrix is retrieved showing
the text as an array of columns and rows with the found code in a vertical column. The
computer can now search the matrix for additional codes, words which have meaningful (as
judged by the user) relationship to the key code.
Like any other procedure, decoding the Bible is a technique that requires training, practice,
and patience, for the user to become proficient in it. It is a procedure of "trial and error", of
searching and experimenting by entering a variety of key codes in succession. Also, like other
procedures, decoding is not always, or not quickly, rewarded with a finding, as the events
could be encoded through key codes which are not always obvious.
It is quite possible that key codes of names or events that you have entered might not be
found as entered or not found at all. There is no guarantee that every single code that
you have entered will be found.
If the specified code is not found, you can try entering the code you are looking for in
different ways. For example, if you had previously entered name + family name, and no code
was found, you might now try just searching for the family name, enlarging the text to be
searched, or changing the maximum number of skips specified. The search is a process of
experimenting!
In this chapter we will explain about the on-screen tutorial, and include two search exercises
which we recommend that you should replicate step by step. Doing these exercises is the best
way to understand the search procedure. It is also recommended that at this time you review
the glossary of the theory of the Bible codes, (Appendix A, The Theory of the Bible Codes).
before proceeding.
23.2 The On-screen tutorial option

The On-screen tutorial option is found in the Codes Menu of the Main Screen. Click it to
bring the On-screen Tutorial to the screen.
77
The Tutorial shows how to search for a key code, step by step, using as its Key Code, Lady
Di, the English princess who died in a tragic car accident. Each screen can be advanced at
your own speed, as slow or as fast as you wish.
It illustrates how to specify the range of text to be searched, how to enter the key code and the
alternative code, how to specify the minimum and maximum skip intervals, how to retrieve
the matrix to the screen, and how to search in the retrieved matrix, (“search within search”),
for additional codes.
23.3 First exercise: search for the Titanic

Titanic, the largest ship ever built, sunk in its maiden voyage, in the year 2312, with the loss
of over 1,500 lives. In this example we will search for the encryption of Titanic in the Bible.
We have chosen to do the search in the book of Exodus, as this book tells us of a similar
event, the mass drowning of Pharaoh’s army.
We will specify Titanic as the Key Code, and, after the program has retrieved a matrix with
the specified key code, we will search inside the matrix for the word sunk as an additional
code. For the findings to have relevance the words will have to be found very close one to the
other, ideally even crossing each other.
Please replicate, one by one, in your own computer, the steps described below:
1. Click the Codes menu
2. Click the Search Codes option to bring the Search Codes window to the screen.
3. Use the arrows next to the From book, chapter, verse, To book, chapter, verse to specify
the range of text from Exodus 1:1 to Exodus 40:38
4. Delete any codes that currently might appear in the Key Code and Alternative Codes
Input Fields.
5. Place the cursor in the Key Code Input Field.
6. Click the Lexicon command button to open the Lexicon Screen. (Verify that the Sorting
Order is by English alphabet).
7. Type Titanic in the Search Field, and click Ok. The Lexicon Screen will close, and the
Search Codes window opens showing the Hebrew transliteration of the word, Titanic,
pasted in the Key Code Input Field.
8. To specify the range of the skip intervals, type 1 in the Minimum field and click the
Maximum Button. The program, according to an internal mathematical formula, will
automatically enter the number 12705 in the Maximum field.
9. Click the Search command button. The program searches, finds the code, and takes us
automatically to the Display Codes Found screen.
10. Here you can see that the code was found encrypted from Exodus 16:16 to 35:11 at an
equidistant skip interval of 5858
11. Click the Retrieve Matrix button to retrieve the matrix containing the code.
78
12. A matrix appears showing the word Titanic in Hebrew in red characters in a column in
the center.
13. Click the Additional codes icon
14. Place the cursor in the first Additional Codes Input Field.
15. Click the Dictionary command button.
16. Click the Search button, type sunk in the input field, and click OK. The Hebrew
translations will appear and you will see that there are three entries for sunk.
17. Highlight the first entry and click OK. The first Hebrew translation of the word sunk will
be pasted in the first Additional Codes Input Field.
18. Place the cursor in the second Additional Codes Input Field.
20. Highlight the second entry for sunk and click OK. The second Hebrew translation of the
word sunk will be pasted in the second Additional Codes Input Field.
21. Place the cursor in the third Additional Codes Input Field.
23. Highlight the third entry for sunk and click OK. The third Hebrew translation of the
word sunk will be pasted in the third Additional Codes Input Field.
24. Specify 1 as the minimum skip interval, and the same number as the maximum skip
interval.
25. Mark with a √ the Horizontal direction. (You can actually click also Vertically, diagonal
no steps, and diagonal with steps, but for the sake of simplicity we will limit the skip
interval in this example to Horizontally).
26. Choose Visible matrix and click on the Search button. (You could have chosen to search
the additional code in the whole retrieved text, but for the sake of simplicity we will limit
the skip interval in this example to the Visible Matrix).
27. The List of Additional Codes Found appears showing that one occurrence has been
found. Click on mark/unmark and then on OK.
28. The matrix will now show the Hebrew word for Titanic crossed by the Hebrew word for
sunk as in a crossword.
29. Open the pop-up list of codes in the matrix with their English translation, (click the down
arrow next to the Cancel button near the top of the screen on the upper right corner).
23.4 Second exercise: search for the Columbia tragedy

The January 2003 flight of the space shuttle Columbia ended in disaster and tragedy. In this
example we will search for the encryption of Columbia in the Torah, (the Pentateuch or Five
Books of Moses).
We will specify Columbia as the Key Code, and, in the same Search screen, we will specify
tragedy and death as Alternative Codes.
79
For the findings to have relevance the words will have to be found very close one to the other,
ideally even crossing each other.
Please replicate, one by one, in your own computer, the steps described below:
1. Click the Codes menu
2. Click the Search Codes option to bring the Search Codes window to the screen.
3. Click on the Torah button to automatically specify the range of text from Genesis1:1 to
Deuteronomy 34:12
4. Delete any codes that currently might appear in the Key Code and Alternative Codes
Input Fields.
5. Place the cursor in the Key Code Input Field.
6. Click the Lexicon command button to open the Lexicon Screen. (Verify that the Sorting
Order is by English alphabet).
7. Type Colombia in the Search Field, (Columbia and Colombia are written exactly the
same in Hebrew). and click Ok. The Lexicon Screen will close, and the Search Codes
window opens showing the Hebrew transliteration of the word, Columbia, pasted in the
Key Code Input Field.
8. Move the cursor to the first Alternative Code Input Field. Click the Dictionary command
button to open the Dictionary Screen. (Verify that the Sorting Order is by English
alphabet).
9. Type death, and click OK.
10. Move the cursor to the first Alternative Code Input Field. Click the Dictionary command
button to open the Dictionary Screen. Type tragedy, and click OK.
11. To specify the range of the skip intervals, type 1 in the Minimum field and click the
Maximum Button. The program, according to an internal mathematical formula, will
automatically enter the number 43543 in the Maximum field. The program will report
that, according to the probabilities, it will find 6 occurrences of the word Columbia in the
specified range of text.
12. Click the Search command button. The program searches, finds all the occurrences of the
key code, and takes us automatically to the Display Codes Found screen.
13. The Statistics Report in this screen, (lower right corner of the screen), tells us that the
program found 8 occurrences of the key code.
14. Click on the By skip, from small to large sorting order, to sort the 8 occurrences from
smallest skip interval to largest. (The theory of Bible Codes, as summarized by Dr.
Jeffrey Satinover in his book, “Cracking the Bible Code”, states the following: "If a
specified code is found at several different equidistant skip intervals, the smaller intervals
should be considered more meaningful than the larger ones for two reasons: one is that if
the skip intervals get large, close clusters lose their meaning or they become more
difficult to assess; the second reason is that in a large enough range of text it is possible to
find a specified word many times at different intervals. A short interval would make the
found occurrence be considered as worthy of note).
15. The occurrence with the smallest skip interval is #3, with a skip of 4545. You can here
see that the code was encrypted from Numbers 35:29 to Deuteronomy 23:5
80
16. Click the Retrieve Matrix button to retrieve the matrix containing the code.
17. A matrix appears showing the word Columbia in Hebrew in red characters in a column in
the center. The alternative codes also appear in different colors in the matrix. To see their
translations click on the down arrow that is next to the Cancel command button, (right
upper corner of the screen). You will see the Hebrew words for Columbia, death and
tragedy with their English translations.
23.5 If you wish to search for your name in the Bible

You will sooner or later wish to search for your own name, and/or the names of the members
of your family, and friends. The program includes a First Names Database where you might
find your name. But if you enter your first name and your last name, you will not find them
in the databases. You must enter them yourselves by typing into the Input Field from the
computer's keyboard or using the on-screen transliteration keyboard.
Suggestions before doing your own research:

a) Read the description of the Bible Codes theory, and the glossary of terms.
b) Do the Screen Tutorial, and the two search exercises above.
c) Read the next chapter to understand the difference between translation and
transliteration, and to learn which are the Hebrew letters equivalent to the English
letters.
d) When searching for a name to be used as a key code, try all its variations in succession.
For example, if your name is Daniel William Johnson, you can first search for the three
names together (no spaces between them), and then later search for Daniel J Johnson, D J
Johnson, or just Johnson. After entering the key code, and before clicking the Search
button, make the program calculate the statistics of the number of expected occurrences.
With respect to the alternative codes, also try entering their different variations.

Translation and Transliteration
24.1 Definitions of Translation and Transliteration

Translation is the act of rendering the meaning of a word in one language into another.
Transliteration is the act of presenting the letters or words in the equivalent characters of
another alphabet according to their sound. It is important to know that there is no one
definitive unique way of transliterating most words from English to Hebrew. It is more a
matter of entering into the codes input fields the same word several times, each time
transliterated differently.
The same word can both be translated and transliterated with different results! For example,
the word “John” when translated to Hebrew using the Biblical Names database will sound as
“Johanan”, while when transliterated to Hebrew using the First Names database it keeps the
same sound “John”.
24.2 On-screen Transliteration Keyboard

The program includes an on-screen-bilingual transliteration keyboard. In every screen that has
an Input Field where you can insert Hebrew characters, there is a Transliteration Keyboard
button.
Clicking it brings to the screen the on-screen Transliteration Keyboard, which shows the
location of the English letters in red below their Hebrew counterparts which appear in black.
Do not transliterate English letters to Hebrew using the computer’s keyboard! Please
take note that the arrangement of the English letters in the computer's keyboard, (what is
called the QWERTY order) is not equivalent to the arrangement of the equivalent Hebrew
letters in the keyboard, according to the standard Hebrew keyboard used in Israel and also by
this program. For example if you press in the computer’s keyboard the A key, you will not get
the Hebrew equivalent for A, but the Hebrew “shin”, (which has a SH sound). To get the
Hebrew equivalent for A, (“aleph”), you must press the computer’s keyboard’s T key.
Therefore, when transliterating use only the on-screen transliteration keyboard!
82
24.3 About the English and Hebrew alphabets and sounds

There is no exact equivalence between the sounds of English and Hebrew, and the letters that
represent these sounds. There are sounds in English that do not exist in Hebrew and vice
versa. And to make transliteration even more complicated, English, more than any other
language, has many words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently. Consider a
few examples: five/give, heard/beard, road/broad, load/broad, four/tour, or the word “lives” in
the phrase “the cat lives nine lives”.
Therefore, it is essential to understand that when transliterating you should not replace a
written English character with the Hebrew letter but the English sound with the Hebrew
sound. For example, if you wish to transliterate the name Douglas, you should not take into
consideration the letters o u but the sound da in the first syllable and just the letters g l s in the
second syllable. You would click in the on-screen Transliteration Keyboard the following
sequence DAGLS
Please take note that the English letters are not arranged in the Transliteration Keyboard
according to the standard QWERTY order, but according to the standard Hebrew keyboard
used in Israel. For example if you press the A key, you will get “shin”, (which has an SH
sound), or if you press the T key then you will get “aleph”, (which is the equivalent of the A
sound in English).
24.4 Transliteration is not a straightforward process

In cases where a word can be transliterated in more than one way, (for example when you
wish to transliterate the letter “t”, you could insert either a tav or a tet),, it is recommended to
run the codes several times, and each time to use a different transliterated character.
The following are a few examples that illustrate the difficulties in transliterating from English
to Hebrew, because, as stated above, both languages lack some of the sounds, (and
consequently letters to represent them), that exist in the other language:
• Although the letter aleph usually represents an a, it can also represent an e. For example
Edison
• The j sound in Jack would be transliterated to the letter gimmel
• The g sound in gene would be transliterated to the letter gimmel
• The g sound in gold would be transliterated to the letter gimmel
• The sounds represented by the letters f and p are both transliterated to peh
• The sound in the word lady represented by a would be transliterated to a double yod,
while the y would be transliterated as one yod
83
• The sound o can be transliterated to a vav, while the sounds ve, vo, vu, w, can all be
transliterated to a double vav
• There is no consensus on how to transliterate t, some use tav, others tet, although usually
tav is used for TH as in Theater, while tet is used for T as in theaTer.
• The sound x is represented by two Hebrew characters, kuv and samech.
24.5 The list of Hebrew letters

The Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters, which are explained in the next paragraph. Five of these
letters assume a different shape when they appear at the end of a word. The letters in their end
of the word shape are called sofiot or final letters, and are marked on the On-screen
Transliteration Keyboard with an (f). The final letters are similar to capital letters in English,
where the letter changes its shape when it appears at the beginning of a word. In English, a
“D” or a “d” are exactly the same letter, and have the same sound. Similarly, in Hebrew, a
nun for example is always a nun regardless of its place in the word or its shape.
Letter Normal shape End of word shape English sound
Caph L K C as in Carnival
Mem O N M as in Mother
Nun Q P N as in Nevada
Peh U T P as in Poster, or
PH as in PHoto
Tzadik W V TZ
Please take note:
a) The shape of the letter, normal or final, does not affect the search and retrieval of the
codes, as this has no relevance. For the purpose of this program, you can write all the
letters in their normal shape, even the final letters.
b) The Hebrew keyboard does not arrange the letters in the QWERTY order. That is why
you will see below that, for example, to get the A sound, you must not click the A key,
but the T key.

The Matrix Screen
25.1 The Matrix

The matrix is a two dimensional array of retrieved text, with no spaces between words, shown
in vertical columns and horizontal rows. This is where the found Key code will be shown in a
vertical column, with the alternative and additional codes in close proximity.
• Vertical columns, numbered from 1 on the right of the screen to the maximum number
of the skip interval of the found Key Code on the left of the screen. You can scroll this
screen to the left and to the right, keeping always their same column numbers.
• Horizontal lines or rows, which are the same length of the skip interval of the found
Key Code. The number of these lines, numbered from top to bottom, depends on the
amount of text retrieved, and whether you have used the Zoom feature which enlarges
the size of the characters but decreases the number of the visible rows and columns.
25.2 How to open the Matrix Screen

You can open the Matrix Screen from any of the following starting points:
a) From any of the following options of the Codes Menu of the Main Screen:

specified color inside its specified geometrical shape.
87
To open this list click on the down arrow situated to the left of the Cancel button, near the
upper right corner of the screen.
25.6 Retrieved text

The program, after finding the specified code in the specified range of text, retrieves the
found code and the text where it is encrypted into a two-dimensional array that is called a
matrix. The number of letters per line is equal to the equidistant skip interval of the found
code; for example, if the skip distance between the letters of the code is 53, then each line of
the matrix has 53 letters. This allows the found code to appear in a vertical column.
Each letter in every line is situated exactly below a letter in the line above, allowing the user
to read the text vertically, horizontally and diagonally in the text, with no blank spaces
between the words
You can search inside the retrieved text for additional codes, identify Hebrew words with
their English translation, evaluate the proximity of the codes, locate any letter, mark one or
more letters, or unmark them.
25.7 The Databases Menu of the Matrix Screen

Hebrew Code These are the retrieved codes presented in Hebrew
characters.
Translation Shows the English translation for the Hebrew Codes
Skip This is the ELS (Equidistant Letter Sequence) or skip
interval between the letters of the Hebrew Code.
R Value of the Text The R Value of the text is the mathematical expression of
the E Value (Expected number of Occurrences) of the text
expressed in a 10 base logarithmic scale. Its formula is R
Value = log (1/E)
R Value of the framed area The R Value of the framed area is the mathematical
expression of the E Value (Expected number of
Occurrences) of the text which is inside the framed area,
expressed in a 10 base logarithmic scale.
Add Here you can mark whether or not to include the
calculation for the word or phrase in the row in the general
calculations. Usually words and phrases taken from the
surface text of the Bible, which we have a skip value of 1,
are assigned by the program an R value of zero, in order
not to take them into account because their very large R
value would distort the calculations. However, the user
might decide to include a number of letters which have a
skip value of 1, but do not appear as a word in the surface
text, as for example, when taking the last three letters of
one word and the first four letters of the following word. If
he so decides, he must mark this word by clicking in the
corresponding Add cell.
Start/end position of the text This shows the start and end position of the Hebrew Code
in the Biblical text.
95
The two bottom rows of the screen inform you:

• How many rows, columns and characters are inside the framed area of the matrix,
• The total R value of the framed area. This number is the sum of the text R value of the
key code, plus the framed area R value for the additional codes. Negative R values are not
taken into account because they tell us that at least one occurrence was expected of this
additional code in a random text of the size of this area.

28.4 Show “Nikud”

Click this option of the View Menu in the Main Screen and in the Matrix screen shows the
Hebrew characters of the text with “nikud”, (Hebrew vowels). To turn Off the “nikud” click
the option again.
The Hebrew alphabet only has consonants. It lacks vowels. (If English would be written as
Hebrew, the word “column” would appear as “clmn”). The reader mentally adds, through
practice and custom, the corresponding vowel sounds.
The vowel signs, (“nikud"), used today in books for children and new immigrants, in prayer
books and printed Bibles, (but not in hand written Torah scrolls), were added by the school of
Masoretes (Traditionalists), that flourished in the city of Tiberias, in the Galilee, between the
7th and 8th centuries of this era. In Israel today newspapers and magazines do not include
"nikud"
Note: The search and retrieval of the hidden codes in the Bible relies exclusively on the
Hebrew consonants, and does not take into account the vowel signs.
28.5 Show grid lines in the Matrix

Please take note of the following:

• The letters in the Key Code always appear inside a circle.
• The letters in the Alternative Codes will always appear inside the geometrical shape
shown next to each input field. If, for example, you do not want the letters inside a
square, you would leave that input field blank.
• The letters in the Additional Codes will always appear inside the geometrical shape
shown next to each input field. If, for example, you do not want the letters inside a
square, you would leave that input field blank.
• When searching for identified words in the matrix you can choose any of six different
geometrical shapes for that individual search and retrieval.

29.5 Proximity
Proximity is the distance, either in rows, columns or diagonal letters, between the Key Code
and any other marked word in a retrieved matrix. The theory of the Codes states that the
closer these pairings are, i.e. the more compact their visual cluster effect, the greater their
statistical significance, in other words the lesser the chance that this can be attributed to pure
chance.
Dr. Jeffrey Satinover in his book, “Cracking the Bible Code”, states the following: “there is a
tendency for meaningfully related words to show the cluster effect, appearing in the array
more closely together than unrelated words”.
Clicking the Proximity option in the Codes Menu in the Matrix screen, or the Proximity Rank
icon, allows the user to click with the left mouse button the first and last letters of a word in
the matrix to automatically get a visual Proximity Ranking of the marked word: Perfect, (the
closest, when the additional code crosses the key code), Very High, High, and Average.

30.1 What are additional codes?

Additional Codes are user specified words or phrases which have a meaningful relationship to
the Key Code. The program will search for them inside the retrieved matrix.
30.2 The Additional Codes Screen

Clicking the Additional codes icon, or the Additional codes option of the Codes Menu in the
Matrix screen, brings to the screen the Additional Codes screen, where you can specify up to
six words at a time and instruct the program to scan the matrix to see if these words are there.
30.3 Parameters to retrieve additional codes within the matrix

The parameters that you must specify to retrieve additional codes within the matrix, i.e. to do
"search within the search", are:
Automatic Search Direction

You can specify any of the following search direction choices: horizontal, vertical, and
diagonal (with no steps or with steps).
Up to six additional codes can be searched in each search round

You can specify up to six additional codes in each search round, typing the word with the
computer’s keyboard, with the Transliteration On-screen keyboard, or copying and pasting

Trouble Shooting
32.1 Problems during installation

The problem might be caused by one of the following reasons:
a) A currently open program which for some reason conflicts with the Setup.
Solution: close all other programs before proceeding with the installation.
b) The CD drive is not reading correctly, which might be caused either by the CD drive itself,
or by the CD
Suggestion: Try installing it in another computer to see if the problem lies in the CD drive
of your computer, or in the CD itself. If the installation does not succeed in the second
computer, it is possible (although this very rarely happens) that the CD is somehow
defective, in which case we would send you a new CD.
c) If the installation in the second computer succeeds then the problem is caused by a failure
of the CD drive of your computer to read properly the CD.
Solution: Make a temporary folder in the hard disk to which you will copy all the files
from the CD, and will try to install from there. Please do the following:
• Close all other programs
• Create a new folder in your hard disk
• Copy all the files from the CD to the new folder (Clicking the Edit Menu options:
Select All, and Copy)
• Open the New Folder, and click the Paste Option of the Edit Menu
• Click the Setup file (computer with blue monitor) in the new folder.
32.2 The Code Tutorial is not seen properly

The program, to see the screen correctly, and specially to run the Tutorial, requires a Screen
Display Specification of SMALL FONTS, and it is highly recommended that the screen area
should be 800 by 600 pixels.
The procedure to change the Screen Display Specification is very simple, and can be done in
seconds. You can change back, if you so wish, to your previous Screen Display Specification
at any moment.
108
To change the Screen Display Specifications to 800 by 600 and SMALL FONTS, please do
the following:
Click Start
Click Settings
Click Control Panel
Click Display (to open the Display Properties Window)
Click Settings in the Display Properties Screen and specify:
COLOR PALETTE: 16 bit
DESKTOP AREA: 800 by 600 (move the arrow to More), or 1024 by 768.
FONT SIZE: Small fonts. If you do not see in that window the possibility of changing
the fonts, check there for the command button “Advanced” and click it to open the
window where you can specify Small Fonts”.
Restart the computer
32.3 The Hebrew characters are seen as gibberish

The Hebrew fonts are designed to be automatically installed. If the Hebrew characters are
seen as gibberish or squares, the installation did not succeed in automatically installing the
needed fonts, or, if previously Hebrew was seen correctly, the font, for some reason, has
become corrupted. The solution is to install the fonts "manually" as follows:
o Turn the computer OFF
o Wait a couple of minutes and turn the computer ON again.
o Click Start
o Click Settings
o Click Control Panel
o Click Fonts
o Highlight and delete PC Miriam A and T, PC Frank A and T
o Make sure that these fonts no longer appear among the icons in the Fonts screen
o Insert the program CD into the computer
o Click the File Menus (in the Fonts Screen)
o Click the option Install New Font
o The Add Fonts window opens
o Under the word Drives click on the arrow until you reach the letter of the drive where
you inserted the CD
o Under the word Folders a list of the directories of the CD will appear.
o Click twice on the Fonts directory
o Above will appear the List of Fonts
o Highlight PC Frank and PC Miriam and click OK
o Make sure that these two fonts now appear among the icons in the Fonts screen and click
in each of them to see that they contain Hebrew characters.
o Bring the program to the screen and check that Hebrew is seen correctly.

The Theory of the Bible Codes

• Internal evidence in the Bible for the existence of the codes Paragraph A.4
• If God hid messages in the codes, should we try to decode them? Paragraph A.5

A.2 Brief history of the theory

An ancient tradition in Judaism states that God dictated the Torah, (i.e. The Law, the first 5
books of the Old Testament), to Moses, letter by letter, and that historic facts, past, present
and future, are encoded in the Hebrew Scriptures by an encryption system which can be
described and unlocked.
During the Middle Ages a very famous rabbi, Moses Cordevaro, wrote “The secrets of the
Torah are revealed....in the skipping of letters”. In the 18th century the greatest Jewish thinker
of his time, Rabbi Elijah Solomon, known as the Vilna Gaon, said “All that was, is, and will
be unto the end of time is included in the Torah, the first five books of the Bible”. However
the thorough statistical analysis of huge quantities of text could only happen with the
development of the computer.
In 1994 the old tradition received a sound scientific basis when three Israeli mathematicians,
(Professor Elyahu Rips, from the Hebrew University, Doron Witztum and Yoav Rosenberg),
used statistical methods and computers to research the Book of Genesis, searching by
“equidistant skip interval” for the encrypted names of 32 sages who lived between the 9th and
18th centuries, checking every nth letter, where n can take any value. They published their
study, Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis, in the scholarly journal Statistical
Science, (Statistical Science 9:429-438), about what they called ELS (Equidistant Letter
Sequences) in Genesis. The program found most of the names, with the odds against this
occurring by chance calculated at 62,500 to 1. Their summary said: “When the Book of
Genesis is written as two-dimensional arrays, equidistant letter sequences spelling words with
112
related meanings often appear in close proximity, with analysis showing that the (statistical)
effect is significant at the level of 0.00002”, (i.e. the odds are 62,500 to 1). This study gave
mathematical and statistical evidence that information about personalities, events and dates
can be found encoded in the Hebrew Scriptures.
The researchers, for comparison purposes, did similar analysis in a Hebrew translation of War
and Peace, a scrambled Book of Genesis, and other texts. In none of them the results were
different from what would occur simply by chance.
Other researchers discovered that the name of Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli Prime Minister,
which is found encoded only once in the Hebrew Scriptures, (in the Book of Deuteronomy,
from chapter 2, verse 33 to chapter 24, verse 16), appears crossed, (as in a crossword) by the
phrase assassin will assassinate. When Rabin was murdered, the Bible Codes theory became
the center of international interest and passionate controversy. Books on the subject became
huge best sellers.
Software was developed to allow users to search by themselves the Hebrew Scriptures for
hidden codes. Unfortunately all these computer programs shared the same disadvantage: they
required a good knowledge of Hebrew in order to specify the search code and to analyze the
retrieved text. Today, with the release of this program, millions of English speaking people
can search the Hebrew Scriptures for hidden codes without knowing Hebrew. You can type
the search code in English; the program automatically translates it to Hebrew, searches and
retrieves the text into a matrix, analyzes it and automatically translates all the found words to
English!
A.3 Description of the Bible Codes theory

The theory of Bible Codes, as summarized by Dr. Jeffrey Satinover in his book, “Cracking the
Bible Code”, states the following:
a) The Torah (Five Books of Moses) can both be treated as a sacred text in the usual way,
and as an encrypted text containing some kind of coded message.
b) The coded message was constructed by utilizing successive letters in the encrypted text
selected at equidistant skip intervals.
c) The content of the coded message serves to confirm the unity and integrity of the
encrypted text.
d) The content appears in the form of a statistical tendency for selected words to appear in
identified locations at greater frequency than should occur by chance.
e) One such tendency is for a code to appear many times in a passage of related text.
f) Another tendency, considered more important, is that two or more different but related
words can be found at an equidistant skip interval in unusually close proximity, as for
example a word in an horizontal row which is crossed by a word in a vertical column as
in a crossword. In other words, there is a tendency for meaningfully related words to
113
show the “cluster effect”, appearing in the array more closely together than unrelated
words.
g) If a specified code is found at several different equidistant skip intervals, the smaller
intervals should be considered more meaningful than the larger ones for two reasons: one
is that if the skip intervals get large, “close clusters” lose their meaning or they become
more difficult to assess; the second reason is that in a large enough range of text it is
possible to find a specified word many times at different intervals. A short interval would
make the found occurrence be considered as worthy of note.
A4. Internal evidence in the Bible for the existence of the codes.
The Bible has many verses which can be interpreted as giving evidence to what the theory of
the code states:
• God dictated the Torah to Moses: “And Moses wrote all the words of the
Lord”. (Exodus 24:4).
• God encrypted: “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing”. (Proverbs 25:2).
• Messages have been hidden: “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the
book”. (Daniel 12:4).
• Man is encouraged to unlock the codes and find understanding: Happy is the
man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding. (Proverbs 3:13).
A5. If God hid messages in the codes, should we try to decode them?
There is a school of thought, which accepts the existence of the codes but argues that if God
hid them, we do not have the right to try to decode them. We respectfully differ from this
point of view, basing ourselves in the biblical verse, which says that “It is the glory of God to
conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter”. (Proverbs 25:2). It is also
written in Proverbs: “Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets
understanding”. (Proverbs 3:13).
A.6 Can codes be found also in other sacred books?

Many code researchers consider that all the Scriptures are divinely inspired, but maintain that
the Torah (Five Books of Moses) is unique among all the sacred writings, because it is the
only text dictated by God letter by letter in a precise order: “And the Lord said to Moses:
Write these words”, (Exodus 34:27), “And Moses wrote this Torah”, (Deuteronomy 31:9). No
similar claim of having being dictated by God Himself applies to any other sacred book!
114
Dr. Jeffrey A. Satinover in his article “Divine Authorship?” (BR October 1995 Page 44)
wrote: “With respect to other sacred texts, the phenomenon, (i.e. encrypted codes), would not
be expected because even the best manuscripts of the text vary; there is no letter-for-letter
sacred text as there is for the Torah. Even the rest of the Hebrew Bible outside of the Torah
lacks such a tradition; hence there are innumerable textual variants”.
Some researchers believe that codes may also be found in other sacred books, and have
undertaken that research. As long as these studies are done in a properly controlled fashion
their results, whatever they may turn out to be, will be a useful contribution to the on-going
debate.
A.7 Can – or should - the codes be used to predict the future?

Many people, upon first hearing of the codes, ask whether they can be used to predict the
future. Taking into account that the code emerges only when you find encrypted in close
proximity two or more related facts, (i.e. words/phrases), that you had decided to look for, this
seems to preclude it. For example, if you know an event but not its date, you may find the
event at some minimum skip, with many possible dates in close proximity, but this would not
have any major statistical significance. Only if you know the event and the date, (which of
course both would logically have to be in the past), and they appear in close proximity, then
the code can be assumed to be of statistical significance.
We can only know that a code is true if we compare it to known facts, i.e. if it relates to
events that have already happened. It is humanly impossible to know whether a code which
deals with a future event is true or not. This can be known only of events in the past.
The code findings are “probable” (i.e. their statistical likelihood can be roughly calculated),
not absolute. The theory of the Bible Codes is not fatalistic but shows that many paths are
possible, and our choices are crucial. Their intrinsic statistical nature, (probabilities), prevents
them from being used as an oracle. Analyzing the findings it can be said that the closest
related words are more probable than those that are far apart, but none is impossible. We can
only discover the ones that have occurred after the fact.
It is important to remember that the Bible strictly forbids divination, (Leviticus 19:26,
Deuteronomy 18:10), and that using the Bible codes as a tool to divine the future falls under
that prohibition.
Dr. Jeffrey A. Satinover in his article “Divine Authorship?” (BR October 1995 Page 44) says
it best: “What then was the purpose of encoding this information into the text? Some would
say it is the Author’s signature… His way of assuring us… that He is precisely who He had
said He is”.
115
A.8 What is ELS (the “Equidistant Skip Interval”)?

The Equidistant Skip Interval is a decryption method that takes every nth letter, (where the n
value can be any number, from a minimum of 1 to a user specified number which can be
several thousands), and checks if they form a previously specified word or phrase.
For the purposes of this program, Equidistant Skip Interval is defined as the specified equal
distance, not counting spaces, between each of the letters of the Key Code. It can be a
minimum of 1 and a maximum of many thousands.
The minimum number is entered manually. The maximum number can be entered manually
or the computer can enter it automatically by a pre-determined formula.
If you had entered as a maximum skip value a number which is not mathematically suitable to
the specified range of text and the specified key code, the program will automatically modify
it to the mathematically maximum number possible.
The program first arranges the Torah into a continuous string of 304,805 Hebrew letters, (or
any other specified range of text), and then it starts searching, from the first letter of Genesis,
(or from any other specified starting point), skipping from letter to letter by the specified
distance.
If the program does not find the specified word, it starts with the second letter and repeats the
skip search. Then it starts with the third letter, on and on until if finds the specified word.
When the word is found, the program rearranges the text into a two dimensional array or
matrix where the length of each line in the retrieved text is the nth distance in the equidistant
skip interval. For example, the name Yitzhak Rabin (in Hebrew) was found encoded only
once in the whole of the Torah (the Five Books of Moses), in Deuteronomy, from chapter 2,
verse 33, to chapter 24, verse 6, at an equidistant skip interval of 4772, (i.e. a distance of 4772
between each of the letters that form the name Yitzhak Rabin). The program retrieves this text
arranging it in lines of equal length (4772 letters in each line, with no spaces between them).
In this way the code Yitzhak Rabin appears in a vertical column.
A.9 Glossary of terms in the theory of the Codes

The following terms should be understood before trying to research the Bible for hidden
codes:
116
Key Code This is the user specified Hebrew word or phrase which the program
will look for in the specified range of text to verify if it can be found
encrypted in the Hebrew text.
The Key Code is entered in the Key Code Input Field, where you can
type the code to be searched, or copy and paste it from any of the
databases.
If the Key Code that you have specified does not yet exist in any of the
databases, the program will request that you enter its English
translation.
Additional Codes Additional Codes are user-specified words or phrases, which according to
the user have a meaningful relationship to the Key Code. The program
will search for them inside the retrieved matrix.
Alternative Codes Alternative Codes are user-specified words or phrases, which according to
the user have a meaningful relationship to the Key Code. The program
will search for them at the same time that it searches for the Key Code.
Proximity This is the visual distance between the Key Code and any other code or
word in the retrieved matrix. The theory states that the closer these
pairings are, i.e. the more compact their visual cluster effect, the greater
their significance. Dr. Jeffrey Satinover in his book, “Cracking the
Bible Code”, states the following: “there is a tendency for meaningfully
related words to show the cluster effect, appearing in the array more
closely together than unrelated words”.
Cluster effect This is what we see in the matrix when meaningfully related words are
in close proximity.
Crossword effect This is what we see in the matrix when the key word is crossed
horizontally or diagonally by a meaningfully related word, as in a
crossword.
Equidistant skip interval This is the equal distance, not counting spaces, between each of
the letters in a sequence of letters that are the components of an
encrypted code.
Expected number of occurrences Number of times that the Key Code will be found, (as
entered and also in the reverse order of the letters), in the specified
range of text, according to the statistical calculations of the program,
which takes into account each letter of the Key Code that appears in the
specified range of the text; the total sum of all the letters in that same
range of text; and the minimum and maximum skip intervals.
117
Found occurrences This is the actual number of occurrences of a specified key code found
in a specified range of text in a previously specified minimum and
maximum number of skip intervals.
Matrix Two-dimensional array of text with no spaces between words. Its lines
are the same length of the skip interval of the found Key Code, which
appears in a vertical column in the center.
Odds This is the ratio of the probability of an event occurring to the

probability of its not occurring. The higher the Odds, the less the
probabilities that the occurrence of the event was caused by random
factors.
Hits Hits are the actual number of found occurrences of a code in a specified
range of text, from an equidistant skip interval of 1 to the maximum
equidistant skip interval of 100,000.
Standard Deviation This is a measure of the variability (dispersion or spread) of any set of
numerical values about their arithmetic mean. In plain language,
Standard Deviation is the difference between the Expected Number of
Occurrences and the number of "hits", (occurrences actually found). If
the Standard Deviation is much larger than zero, this is called
Statistical Significance, which means that the results can not be
attributed to pure chance.
Statistical Significance This phrase means that the Standard Deviation is too high (and
consequently the Odds) to attribute the results to pure chance. In other
words, the result of the search can not be attributed to pure chance,
because the odds against this event being caused by random factors are
too large. This is represented by a standard deviation larger than 0.
A.10 This software applies the mathematical method discovered by

the Bible code scientists to allow you to verify the discoveries and
claims of other researchers and also to do your own research.
You have now in your hands a unique tool, designed to unlock the Bible codes using your
own personal computer. It allows you to verify by yourself the discoveries and claims of
world known researchers, and also to do your own research about any event or name,
including your own and your family’s.
118
Its unique “Know-no-Hebrew” technology allows you to research the Hebrew Scriptures
without the need to know any Hebrew at all!
A.11 We recommend that you should acquaint yourself with the

theory and replicate the exercises before doing your own
research.
Before doing your own codes research in the Bible, we recommend that you should do the
exercises described step by step in Chapter 23 of this manual.

Appendix B
The Hebrew Bible
B.1 Why is the Bible called Tanakh in Hebrew?

The Hebrew or Jewish Bible, which is also commonly called, the Old Testament, is called in
Hebrew Tanakh, an acronym derived from the names of its three divisions:
• Torah (the five books of Moses, also called the Pentateuch),
• Nevi’im (the Prophets), and
• Ketuvim (the Writings).
B.2 Are the Tanakh and the Old Testament the same books?
It is a common belief that the Tanakh – Hebrew or Jewish Bible -, and the Old Testament –
first part of the Christian Bible -, are identical books under two different names. However,
this is not the case.
There are several differences between the Tanakh and the Old Testament:
• The order of the books is not the same. For example, the last book of the Tanakh is 2
Chronicles, while the last book of the Old Testament is Malachi.
• In several cases the number of chapters in a specific book is not the same in both
publications.
• In several cases the number of verses in a specific chapter is not the same in both
publications.
The English text of the Tanakh is derived from the Masoretic Hebrew text, while the
translators of the Old Testament generally use Greek and Latin texts as their source.
B.3 How many books are in the Tanakh?

The Tanakh has a total of 39 books: five in the Torah, twenty one in Nevi’im, and thirteen in
Ketuvim. You can read a summary of each book by clicking on the Summary button of the
GoTo Book/Chapter/Verse option of the Goto Menu.
Torah The five books of the Torah are: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and
Deuteronomy.
120
Nevi’im This division of the Tanakh has twenty one books subdivided into three
sections:
a. The Former Prophets, which includes six historical works: Joshua, Judges, 1
Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, and 2 Kings.
b. The Latter Prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.
c. The Minor Prophets. Minor, in this case, does not mean of less importance.
It refers to the fact that these books are much shorter than the books of the
three prophets above. The twelve books are: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah,
Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and
Malachi.
Ketuvim This division of the Tanakh has thirteen books: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Daniel,
Ezra, Nehemiah, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Song of Songs, Ruth,
Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, and Esther. The last five are called “Megillot”,
(scrolls).
B.4 The Hebrew text is the Masoretic text

The Masoretic Text is the version of the Hebrew Bible preserved and transmitted by medieval
Jewish scholars knows as the Masoretes, who standardized the Hebrew text's punctuation,
pronunciation, accentuation and consonantal divisions.
The Masoretic Bible manuscript vocalized by the tenth-century Masorete Aaron Ben Asher
was declared by the great Jewish scholar Maimonides superior to the vocalizations of other
Masoretes. So powerful was Maimonides' influence that Ben Asher's version became the
standard text – the one that appears in Hebrew Bibles today. This manuscript was stored
during the Middle Ages in the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Cairo, but eventually it ended up in the
possession of the Jewish community of Aleppo, Syria; today it is known as the Aleppo Codex
and is kept in Jerusalem.
Scholars consider that the Masoretic text in general and the Torah text specially, are
extremely reliable, because, through out the centuries, Jewish scribes have been forbidden to
make any changes when writing a Torah scroll. Each scroll is examined letter by letter to
prevent errors – in these days of computers and scanners, software programs have been
developed to do this exacting job. The act of faithfully preserving the Torah has always been
for the scribes a sacred endeavor.
The Masoretic text of the Torah is not identical to the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensis, which is
the text usually used by non-Jewish Hebraists. There are over 130 letter differences between
the two texts in the entire Five Books of Moses, percentage wise a very small number, (the
total number of letters is 304,805), but still with significant impact in the finding of the codes.
121
B.5 Electronic version of the Koren text

The Torah Hebrew text used by this program is called Koren in honor of the Jerusalem
publishing company whose printed edition of the Masoretic text incorporates the best
understanding of the Jewish scholarly tradition of textual transmission.
The developer of this program is the only software company expressly authorized by the
Koren Publishing Company to use the electronic version of their Masoretic text of the Torah.
Please see Appendix F in the printed manual.
B.6 Variant words: Kri and Ktiv

There are a number of words in the Hebrew Scriptures which are read differently from the
way that they are spelled in the text. These words are called “kri” in their reading version and
“ktiv in their written version. Printed Hebrew Bibles show the “ktiv” version of the word
inside the text, and the “kri” version outside the text, in the margin of the page. Translations
to other languages usually take into consideration the meaning of the “kri” words.
In this program both “kri” and “ktiv” words appear inside the text, one next to the other. The
“kri” words are shown in a blue color, while their “ktiv” equivalents are shown in light grey.
Note: Please take into account that when searching the text for codes or concordance, the
program only takes into consideration the “ktiv” words.
B.7 About the Hebrew language

Written Hebrew, until about twelve centuries ago, consisted only of consonants, which is still
the case today of the Torah scrolls read in the synagogues, and of practically all the
newspapers, books and magazines published in Israel. If English would be similarly written,
the word “text” would appear as “txt”.
Some consonants do double duty as vowels. The yod has a sound similar to the English “i”,
while the vav sometimes sounds as “o” and other times as “u”. The letters aleph, heh and ayin
sound like the letter a in the word cat.
The vowel signs, (“nikud"), and the cantillation marks, (musical or tonal), were added by the
school of Masoretes (Traditionalists) that flourished in the city of Tiberias, in the Galilee,
between the 7th and 8th centuries of this era. They are used today in prayer books and in
printed Bibles.
122
The search and retrieval of the Hebrew codes relies exclusively on the Hebrew consonants,
and does not take into account the vowel signs.
There are five letters in Hebrew, (“cav” equivalent to C or K, “mem” equivalent to M, “nun”
equivalent to N, “pei” equivalent to P, and “tzadik” equivalent to TZ), that assume a different
shape when they appear at the end of a word. This is equivalent to capital letters in English,
where the letter changes its shape when it appears at the beginning of a word. Search and
retrieval of the codes is not affected by the shape of the letter, as this has no relevance. A
“nun” for example is always a “nun” regardless of its place in the word or its shape, as, for
example, in English the sound “d” is the same, whether the letter is written “d” or “D”.
B.8 About the English translation

The English translation of the Hebrew text of this program is a recent translation done in
Israel by a team of bilingual Bible scholars.
Reviewers of this translation have found in it two great merits: it is faithful to the Masora,
(traditional Hebrew text), and it retains much of the unsurpassed language and rhythm of the
“Authorized Version” of 1611, which many English speakers, Jews and Christians alike, have
come to identify as the language of the Bible. It is hard to find an English translation, old,
modern, or contemporary, that does not owe a debt of inspiration to the “Authorized Version”.
The translators have consulted many other translations for comparison purposes, and have
used their own knowledge of the language, as a result of which many fresh readings have
been adopted.
The translators made an express decision to have modernized words and verb endings, and
avoid archaic linguistic and grammatical forms which might cause difficulties for today’s
reader. However, at the same time, the translators have strived to have the English translation
reflect the style, syntax, and “flavor” of Biblical Hebrew, by respecting its two main
characteristics: using the conjunction waw (“and”) to link virtually every clause and sentence;
and by relying on the repetition of key words.
Wherever the Hebrew text has a variant word, (which is pronounced differently from the way
that it appears in the Hebrew text), the translators chose to use the Kri word, (the word as it
should be read), instead of the Ktiv word, (the word as it appears inside the printed text). The
letter K appearing at the beginning of an English verse indicates that the Hebrew verse
translated includes a Kri word.
123
Appendix C
The Hebrew Calendar
C.1 About the Hebrew Calendar

The Hebrew calendar counts its years from the date of Creation, which, according to
the Jewish tradition, took place 3,760 years before the start of the Current Era. The year
2,000 CE is the equivalent of the year 5,760 HC, (Hebrew Calendar, also called AM Anno
Mundi, Latin for "Year of the World," i.e. since the date of the Creation).
The Hebrew calendar is lunisolar: the months are reckoned according to the moon and
the years according to the sun. A month is the period of time between one conjunction of the
moon with the sun, (point in time when the moon is not visible), and the next conjunction.
A cycle of twelve lunar months is shorter than a solar year by about 11 days. This means that
the lunar cycle must be adjusted to the solar year, because although the Jewish festivals are
according to dates in months, they must also be in specific agricultural seasons of the year
which depend on the solar year. Without any adjustment the festivals would "wander" through
the seasons, and eventually, for example, the "spring" festival (Passover) would be celebrated
in winter, and later in summer, (which is the case with the Islamic calendar where the holy
month of Ramadan "wanders" through the solar year). The required adjustment in the Hebrew
calendar is realized by the addition of an extra month (Adar 2) in each of the seven out of a 19
year lunar cycle,
The Hebrew New Year falls usually in September. Therefore a Hebrew year overlaps the
three last months of a secular year plus the first nine months of the following year. That is
why the Years database will show, for example that the year HC 5344 starts in September of
1583 CE and ends in September of 1584 CE: 1583 CE/1584 CE = 5344 HC
C.2 The months of the Hebrew calendar

There are twelve months in the Hebrew calendar. During the period of the First Temple the
months were usually numbered, although the biblical report of the building of Solomon's
Temple in 1 Kings mentions the names of three months. The current names of the Hebrew
months originated in Babylon.
Because the Hebrew months are based on the cycle of the moon, one Hebrew month may
overlap two secular months, for example Tishrey might start one year around the middle of
September and end in October, while in another year it might start and end in September.
124
Hebrew month Corresponds approximately to
Tishrey October
Heshvan November
Kislev December
Tevet January
Shvat February
Adar March
Nissan April
Eyar May
Sivan June
Tamuz July
Av August
Elul September
C.3 Hebrew uses letters to represent numbers

Hebrew is probably the only language which still uses letters to represent numbers.The first
nine letters represent the numbers 1 to 9 respectively; the next 10 letters represent the
numbers 10, 20.. to 90; and the last four represent 100 to 400.
Hence, where the calendar is concerned, we would not list, for example, the first day of the
month Av, as Av 1, but as Aleph - the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet - BeAv.
The Hebrew year 5760 AM, (2000 CE), is written as ‫התשס‬. From left to right:
‫ה‬ - heh, the fifth letter of the alphabet, represents 5 for the current, sixth millennium
‫ת‬ - tav, the last letter of the alphabet, represents 400
‫ש‬ - shin, the penultimate letter, represents 300
‫ס‬ - samech, the 15th letter, represents 60
The ‫ ה‬that represents the current sixth millennium is usually not written, because it is
assumed that we know in which HC millennium we are. The program allows you to choose
whether to write the ‫ ה‬or not.
The days of the week have no names in Hebrew, except for the Sabbath. They are called First
day (i.e. Sunday), Second day, and so on.
The following are the letters that represent past, current and future AM millenniums:
125
‫ א‬- eth, the second letter, represents 2, for the third millennium
‫ ג‬- gimmel, the third letter, represents 3, for the fourth millennium
‫ד‬- dalet, the fourth letter, represents 4, for the fifth millennium
‫ ה‬- heh, the fifth letter, represents 5 for the current, sixth millennium
‫ ו‬- vav, the sixth letter, represents 6 for the seventh millennium
‫ ז‬- zayin, the seventh letter, represents 7 for the eighth millennium
‫ ח‬- het, the eighth letter, represents 8 for the ninth millennium
‫ ט‬- tet, the ninth letter, represents 9 for the tenth millennium
C.4 Formula to convert the Gregorian calendar to the Hebrew years

The following is a quick formula to convert the years of the Gregorian calendar to the
Hebrew calendar:
a) From the Hebrew New Year (about September) to December 31 add 3759 to the Gregorian
year.
b) From January 1 to the eve of the Hebrew New Year add 3760 to the Gregorian
year.

Appendix D
The Jerusalem Dictionary
A companion program
D.1 An ideal companion program

Although the Bible Codes program has its own bilingual dictionary built-in, we recommend
The Jerusalem Dictionary, (latest version of Super Milon, the best selling bilingual
dictionary/thesaurus for PC computers), as a wonderful complement to the program for the
following reasons:
• It includes synonyms
• It includes antonyms
• It suggests the correct spelling if you wrote the word with a spelling error.
• It allows cross checking the translations to pin point the closest to the intended
meaning.
• It includes thousands of phrases and expressions with translations.
• It includes thousands of verb tables, fully conjugated, showing their classification,
root and other information. This is an invaluable tool for students of the Hebrew
language.
• It works inter-actively with Bible Codes 2000
D.2 Description of the Jerusalem Dictionary

Have you ever wanted to find a suitable English antonym? Winword only offers synonyms.
Have you ever wanted to type in Hebrew but were lost for a word?
Programs are available that will translate from one language to another, but can you be sure
that you have the correct Hebrew translation for the word you want? How do you know if you
have the correct tense for the word? Jerusalem Dictionary addresses this and more.
From the main screen, the power of the product is readily apparent. You can spell-check and
translate a word, browse the dictionary beginning at a word, cross-check a translation by
having a translation retranslated, view synonyms, antonyms and tense and more. When run as
a standalone program, you simply type in a word into a box and its translations appear. The
word can be typed in English and have the translation in Hebrew or vice versa. When run in
background mode, you highlight a word in your word processor, press the hot keys and the
Jerusalem Dictionary window appears with the word already entered into the input box. From
127
this mode an extra button becomes available which can be used to paste the translation back
into your word processor.
If you misspell a word, a list of close words will appear from which you could choose the
correctly spelled word. The program will let you know if the word is a noun, adjective,
pronoun, etc. or possibly several of them at once. A list of same-language antonyms
(opposites) appears, making this program worthwhile even if you don't require the Hebrew.
A full list of all the words in the extensive dictionary can be viewed and scrolled in either
Hebrew or English.
Languages and use of expression can be a curious thing. An expression used in English
cannot be literally translated word for word into another language and mean the same thing.
"You're off your head" certainly would look strange when translated into Hebrew literally.
Jerusalem Dictionary includes a list of thousands of bilingual expressions. For the above
example, just type in "head" in the input box and click the expression list button. Jerusalem
Dictionary displayed 37 expressions (many of which I had not heard of) containing the word
head and all ready to translate to Hebrew at the click of a button.
Besides antonyms and translations, Jerusalem Dictionary provides a list of synonyms in the
language of your choice. If you click on any of the synonyms, its translation and antonym also
appears.
Jerusalem Dictionary recognized all the words I typed into the input box. It recognizes most
English suffixes (such as ing, ed, s), although Hebrew words must be entered in their absolute
form, without prefixes and suffixes.
Hebrew words comprising two words (such as Beit sefer) must be entered with a hyphen
between the words. Jerusalem Dictionary keeps a history of the words that have been entered
in the past so that they are readily available from a list box.
It is possible to add to Jerusalem Dictionary's already extensive dictionary. Because the

program offers so much information on each word, entering words can be lengthy if you do it
correctly. You can enter information for each word in the following categories and their
translations - adjective, adverb, antonym, conjunction, interjection, noun, numeral, particle,
prefix, preposition, pronoun, suffix and verb. Synonyms need not be entered because they are
generated dynamically by re-translating translations of the original word.
Jerusalem Dictionary conjugates verbs using over 8,000 tables of fully conjugated Hebrew
and English verbs. The full list of Hebrew verbs can be displayed and scrolled.
When the program is run in background mode, almost any word in a table or list can be pasted
back into the source word processor. However, the Hebrew characters are reversed.
Therefore, the manual advises users of non Hebrew Windows to use the program in
128
conjunction with a Hebrew word processor (which accepts the upper ASCII set in the reverse
order so that the Hebrew characters appear in the correct right-to-left order). I tried it in
Dagesh and it worked fine but you may have to alter the settings relating to copying and
pasting to and from those programs. Jerusalem Dictionary is called up by pressing the hot
keys combination <Ctl> <Alt> <M>, although under the system settings, the user can select
the hot keys.
One final note - the program is written for users of both English and Hebrew, so in what
language are the menus, the dialog boxes and the yellow Tool Tips that come up when you
leave your mouse pointer over a button? That is user-definable also alternating between
Hebrew and English.
Although the languages on offer will limit the appeal of this program, the truth is that the
antonyms, synonyms and conjugation of verbs would have been a useful adjunct to my
favorite word processor making the program attractive in its own right even if you never use
Hebrew.
129
D.3 Interactive with the Bible program

First, you must have the Background Mode ON in The Jerusalem Dictionary by doing the
following: Load The Jerusalem Dictionary, click on File, click on System, click on
Background Mode so that a mark "√" will appear in the little square next to the Background
Mode button command. Check which are the hot keys, (default hot keys are <Ctrl> <Alt>
<M>). Click OK. Send the Jerusalem Dictionary down to the task bar by clicking on the
upper right corner in the "-" button in the upper right corner of the screen.
Load the Bible program, click on the Codes Menu of the Main Screen, click on Search Codes
option. Delete all the characters (if any) that are in the Search Word Input field, so that the
cursor should be in the extreme right of that field.
With the left <Ctrl> and left <Alt> keys being pressed down give a light click on the letter
<M>.
(The Jerusalem Dictionary must be called only with the hot keys to be interactive, i.e. to
be able to paste the translations in the Hidden Codes input field. If you call it by clicking on
the Jerusalem Dictionary button which is on the Task Bar, this will bring the Jerusalem
Dictionary to the screen, but not in its interactive, pasting mode).
The Jerusalem Dictionary will come on screen. Click on the E button (for English mode) so
that the cursor in the Jerusalem Dictionary input field will be in the extreme left.
Type the English word that you want to translate.
Press <Enter> to translate.
Click on the Hebrew word to copy it to the Paste Field, which is at the bottom of the
Jerusalem Dictionary screen, (and which is only present if the Jerusalem Dictionary was
called by pressing the hot keys!).
Check that the Hebrew word is in the Paste Field.

Click on the Paste command button, in the left lower corner of the Jerusalem Dictionary
screen.
The word will be pasted in the Search Codes Input Field.
NOTE: It might happen that you press the hot keys and nothing happens. In that case, you
must first activate the hot keys by calling Word to the screen, writing there a word,
highlighting it, and pressing the hot keys. Afterwards you can call the Jerusalem Dictionary
from the Input Field of the Search Screen of the Bible program.
