Dear Duane, I hope what you say below is not an underestimate of Ginsburg's interest in extra-Masoretic sources. For one thing, his own table of abbreviations...
All very good Duane. Robert Stieglitz helped me study the alternate age numbers years ago, so I've known about them for a long time. In this kind of work we...

Yi, yi, yi. Be careful here. 7.2 looks like 7x2=14 (an important "Jacob double" and with overtones of "72" as grounded the double Davidic octave ...

Boys, there is an enormous truth in what Ernest is saying about performers and texts. I sometimes imagine what it would be like if I were transported back to...
Ernest, on the surface the story of the serpent in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3 tells us relatively little about "great secret" you are describing: Thus the...
Duane, I'm going to leap in with both feet and say something with such clumsiness as will have Ernest shaking his head in bemusement. The perfect Edenic world...
Duane, You pose an interesting series of challenges to me here by reading "word for word" (as "myopically" as possible, with little or no "guilty knowledge"...

Ernest, your last posting is the most useful one yet so far as my paper on "Satan and the Serpent" is concerned. Bits and pieces of what you have said in...
Duane, You raise enough issues here to confuse me as to what you need first. I know we can't do everything at once; I'm trying to discern your priorities. ...

Dear Duane, Long overdue, I fear. Gematrical value of proper names in Genesis 5: 400 Gematria 22 Gematria Adam £d' [1 + 4 + 40] = 45 [1 + 4 + 13] =...
Dear Duane, Another overdue posting. There is a wealth of figurate geometry in eleven out of the fourteen numbers which you identify with great clarity. I'll...
David, and the 86 of Elohim is certain, I believe, to mean 8^6=262,144 (the age when ABRAM fathers Ishmael) and to lead is into 12-tone tuning theory and make...

Dear Duane, In case anyone is wondering how the stellate ( = star-shaped) or octagonal numbers are formed, here goes. Take a square of n, and set a triangle of...
David, thank you for this information on numerical matters. My interest in triangular numbers is growing. We need to find the best way to become familiar with...
David, we need to get you up and running with Adobe Acrobat so that you write .pdf files. These can be sent as email attachments so that the graphics...
Thanks, Duane, the site to which you direct us is beautifully set out. I'm always jealous when I see graphics of such quality! What you say about people not...
Yes, yes, yes, Ernest, definitely. It is indubitable that some of the Biblical numbers double up as indices. The more I listen to you the more I realize that...
All right, Duane, I'm a helpless imbecile with the computer, but my brother and sister are both experts with the beast and will help me to engage in such...
DavidC, the key person here is John Burnett. I just do what he tells me to do. Once the software is installed the process is so simple there's nothing to it....
Right, Duane, I'll write to JohnB tomorrow. Many thanks! David ... From: "Duane Christensen" <dlc@...> To: <bibal@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, August...
John Burnett, here's my file of Genesis 8 for uploading to the website. Duane Summary Remarks: 1. The most striking parallels with the Babylonian Story of...
Duane, it's 12.45 over here, and I'm going to bed, but one number leaps to my somnolent eye. You say, 4. Summary of the concentric compositional formulae...
In my positing this afternoon I forgot to mention that El Shaddai (which sums to 345) can be read as an allusion to 3x4x5 and thus to the "do nothing" sky...

John Burnett, attached please find a revision of the file on Genesis 8 submitted earlier today. I have also attached a copy of Observation 2 in this report for...
Duane, this Chapter seems remarkable for its amount of explicit numerical information, none of which makes any sense at all. Even if months are recalculated as...
