leaves three
handbreadths (= 0.5 cubit), needed
for
getting hold of the tablets.34)
§
13. Mathematical proof results from the
geometry of the Tablets of the Law
and their
box. Since a rectangular
tablet only fits into
a rectangular
box, if the craftsmen, both
the
carpenter and the stone-mason, have
the geo-
metrical know-how to
do a right angle with
precision,
I checked their measurements as
to

33) The Mosaical cubit (above Note 30)
can be identified
from the context
of the system of Mosaical
metrology, which
I discovered in November
of 1984. In the second English
edition
of the TORAH OF THE ALPHABET
(N. 1) p. 50, the length of
a
cubit (= 44.63 cm) was calculated, for
the first time, from the
weight of a
Beka (= 6.0 gm), cf. Ed Metzler,
Mosaical Metrology
(N. 9) p. 7. It is
the cube root of 4 Bat or
approximately 88 liters
(below Note 40),
that can be determined more precisely,
if one
Kikar or 6000 Beka =
36 000 grams are divided by 2.7, the
specific
gravity of granite (cf. Note 41
infra), and by 0.15 (cubic cubits
of
one stone tablet).
34) The ark was used by taking each tablet into
both hands, when setting them up within the
box, in order to be able to read
them,
having to pass over the summit to
the opposite side on each
of the ten
lines. The ark was as high as it
was wide, for it had to be
as high as
the standing tablets. There was room for
one hand
between the tablets, and
between the stones and the wood
on
either side, three handbreadths altogether,
which is half a cubit,
see TORAH
OF THE ALPHABET (N. 1) pp. 17 and
51. During
transportation these spaces were
cushioned by the broken tablets
wrapped
in fleece, cf. Ed Metzler, Mosaical
Metrology (N. 9) p. 15.
