limits the length of each of the
10 vertical lines to 32 letters.42) I interpreted the
biblical etymo- logy of the
tetragrammaton to mean that its initial
Yod may be exchanged and spelled
Alef (Exodus 3, 13–15). My
interpretation proved correct, because any
other leads astray with the wrong number
of letters.43) When
the separation of words was introduced around
900 B. C. E., the first three
words of the Ten
Commandments ANKIAHUHALHIK "I shall be
your supreme judge" could be reinterpreted
as "I am YaHUH thy God",
taking the final Yod of ANKI
"I"

5.975 or 6.0 grams. Dividing the weight
of a Manah-stone (Man) (= 100
Beka) by its volume
(= 0.1 Omer) yields the
specific gravity of granite
(597.5 gm : 220 cm3 = 2.7), which was
the material of the broken tablets, i.
e. Manah-stones as well as stone cubes
of 0.13 cubic cubits,
and of the Tablets of the Law, that
were "like the first" ka-Rishonim (Exodus 34,
4 = Deuteronomy 10, 3). Granite is
found near Elat, cf. Ephraim
Orni and Elisha Efrat, Geographie
Israels (Jerusalem 1966) p. 350.
42) In Kabbalah geometry
(Hebrew "Gematriah") has always been
considered essential to understanding the
Torah of Moses, but the
inaccessibility of the Tablets of the Law
(above Notes 31 and 32) led to
its deterioration, cf. Gershom
Scholem (N. 14) pp. 337–343.
43) A master of Kabbalah is called a
Baal Shem meaning the owner
(Baal) of the tetragrammaton (Shem)
who possesses its etymology, which
is the key to
Mosaical Metrology and Mosaistics,
cf. Gershom Scholem (N.
14) pp. 310 and
311. |
