The third word of Genesis 1:1 is אלהים (Elohim), meaning “God.” When the digits appearing in the alphabet-position values of its individual letters are added, they total 14. This total is evenly divisible by 7.
Pattern 27 continues the examination of the third word but changes the measurement system. Pattern 26 uses traditional Hebrew numerical values, whereas Pattern 27 uses each letter’s position in the 22-letter Hebrew alphabet.
Within the symbolic framework of this study, 3 is associated with the Trinity, while 7 is associated with divine perfection.
The alphabet-position values of the five letters in אלהים are:
The digits appearing in these individual alphabet-position values are then added separately.
The tables below show the alphabet-position value of each letter in the third word. Pattern 27 adds the digits contained in those individual values.
The places of the letters of the third word are highlighted.
