Pattern 40 – The Theory of Biblical Patterns

Pattern Statement:

Among the 127 possible nonempty subsets of the seven Genesis 1:1 word values, exactly 23 have totals evenly divisible by 37. The number 23 corresponds to the number of chromosome pairs in a typical human cell, while 37 is one of the theory's prime pair, 37 and 73.

Why this pattern matters

A typical human cell contains 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. In this calculation, exactly 23 subsets produce totals divisible by 37. The result therefore connects the number of chromosome pairs with 37, the number identified in this theory as God's DNA number and one member of the prime pair 37 and 73.

How this pattern is measured

The seven traditional Hebrew word values are 913, 203, 86, 401, 395, 407, and 296. Seven values have 2⁷ − 1 = 127 possible nonempty subsets. Add the word values in each subset and test whether the resulting total is evenly divisible by 37. Exactly 23 of the 127 subsets pass this test.

Each number below identifies a word position in Genesis 1:1. For example, 1,3 means that the values of words 1 and 3 are added: 913 + 86 = 999 = 37 × 27.

1,2,3,4,5; 1,2,3,4,5,6; 1,2,3,4,5,6,7; 1,2,3,4,5,7; 1,2,4; 1,2,4,6; 1,2,4,6,7; 1,2,4,7; 1,3; 1,3,6; 1,3,6,7; 1,3,7; 2,4,5; 2,4,5,6; 2,4,5,6,7; 2,4,5,7; 3,5; 3,5,6; 3,5,6,7; 3,5,7; 6; 6,7; 7;

These are all 23 qualifying subsets; no other nonempty subset of the seven word values has a total evenly divisible by 37.

Statistical caution

The 127 subset tests are mathematically related because many subsets share the same word values. For that reason, this page reports the observed count without treating the 127 tests as statistically independent or assigning this pattern a stand-alone probability.
