Pattern 26: The Digits of the Letter Values in the Third Word Total 14

Pattern Statement

The third word of Genesis 1:1 is אלהים (Elohim), meaning “God.” When the digits appearing in the traditional numerical values of its individual letters are added together, they total 14. This total is evenly divisible by 7.

Word being tested:
אלהים
Elohim — “God”

Position in the verse: Third word

Why this pattern matters

Pattern 26 applies a different digit test from Pattern 25. Pattern 25 adds the digits of the word’s total numerical value, 86. Pattern 26 instead adds the digits found in the numerical values of the five individual letters.

Within the symbolic framework of this study, 3 is associated with the Trinity, while 7 is associated with divine perfection.

How this pattern is measured

The traditional numerical values of the five letters in אלהים are:

The digits in these individual values are then added separately.

Result for Genesis 1:1

Digits of the individual letter values:

1, 3, 0, 5, 1, 0, 4, 0

Sum of the digits:

1 + 3 + 0 + 5 + 1 + 0 + 4 + 0 = 14
14 ÷ 7 = 2

The tables below show the traditional numerical value of each letter in the third word. Pattern 26 adds the digits contained in those individual values.
