home 2006, last update 25-05-2008 18. The perfect number 496. In chapter eleven I already mentioned the perfect number. A perfect number is positive integer that is equal to the sum of its positive integral factors, including 1 but excluding itself. Six and twenty-eight are the first two perfect numbers: the divisors of 6 are: 1, 2 and 3 the divisors of 28 are: 1, 2, 4, 7 and 14 The
bible writer has used this fact by starting the bible with the word 'berashit', Gen.1:1
The third perfect number is 496:
Sum: 1+2+4+8+16+31+62+124+248=496 The
last letter of Gen.1:1 is the tsadee,
All
divisors of 8128 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 127, 254, 508, 1016, 2032
and 4064, The first three perfect numbers can easily become implemented in a text, however for the fourth perfect number this is different. And it becomes even more complex for also the number Pi, the Theorem of Pythagoras and a lot of mathematical laws and numbers are hidden/revealed in the first verse. All perfect numbers are triangular numbers. 6 is the triangle of three, 28 is the triangular number of seven and 496 is the triangle of thirty one:
Of the nine divisors of the third Perfect number 496 the 5 is the middle divisor. So 16 is the central divisor. The factors of 496 (this is something else then the divisors) are: 1x(2x2x2x2)x31 or 1x16x31. The 16 is also the center between 1 and 31:
By the way, this centering is a property of all Perfect numbers:
More perfect numbers can be found here. An other property of perfect number is that they always end up with an 8 or a 6, the digits that form together 86, the CV of Elohim. And an other interesting detail is the fact that if we count the six digits of the first perfect number 6 two by two, the sum is 112, the CV of Yahweh Elohim: So
the 5th divisor of 496 is 16. The multiplication of those two numbers is:
5x16=80. The 80th
prime is 401, the number value of the central untranslatable word, the nota objecty,
eth,
Composite 401=496, the 3rd Perfect number. So we see that the middle word of Gen.1:1, which is composed of the first and the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, hides the third perfect number 496. The aleph and the tav, the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last represent God (Rev.1:8). The Alpha and Omega is: 1+800=801. This number is the 661st composite. 661 is related to the number 496. With the triangle of 496 units the Star of David with 661 units can be formed: In this way the first and the last letter of the Hebrew and the Greek alphabet are connected. We will see that the numbers 496 and 661 often cooperate together in structuring the bible text. But there is something special going on: 496 is a composite but 661 is a prime number. 661 is the 122nd prime. The sum of these two numbers is: 661+122=783. The sum of 496 and its order number 401 is 897. These two numbers sum together: 897+783=1680, equal to the CV of Χριστου, Christ. The sum of the letter places of the aleph, until the word eth is: 3+9+10+15=37, while the sum of the letter places of the tav is: 6+16=22. We
can go now to letter 496, but first I will go to word 496. This
word appears to be the 37th 'Elohim' in the bible text and can be found
in Gen.2:5. I suppose that it is clear to the reader that the number 37 has a
special function in the bible structure. Because 496 is the 401st composite
and aleph-tav is 401, I
looked for the letter places in the alphabet of the aleph and the tav. These are
respectively the 1st and the 22nd letter. The sum is 1+22=23. Gen.2:5 appears to
have 23 words. 401 is the 80th prime, the number of letters of
Gen.2:5 is 80 or 5x16.
The 5th divisor of 496 is 16.
The 37th Elohim is the 16th word and at the same time
the 5th Elohim of chapter 2. Also the aleph,
Furthermore 496 is the triangular number of 31.
The singular form of Elohim is 'El', The Star of David that can be formed with the triangle of 496 units has 661 units. Word 661 is also Elohim (Gen.2:19). This is the 44th of the bible. 44 can be formulated here as 37+7, for word 496 is the 37th Elohim. The word Elohim seems to connect itself with mathematical facts. [It is also nice to see that the center of gravity of the triangle 496 is 221 and that 661 is prime 122. The sum of these numbers that have reversed digits is: 221+122=343=(7x7x7) Until verse Gen.2:19, where we find word 661, there are 686 words in the bible, which is: 2x(7x7x7)] In the first chapter of the bible we find 32x (=25) Elohim, so word 496 is the (37-32=5) 5th Elohim in the second chapter. It turns out to be the 16th word in Gen.2:5. The 5th divisor of 496 is 16. An exaggerated coincidence. The first chapter of the bible has 434 words, which is 2x7x31 or 7x62. The 7th divisor of 496 is 62. The 434 words of Gen.1 plus the 62 words of Gen.2 bring us to word 434+62=496, the 37th Elohim. The first and the second chapter of the bible are as well connected as divided by the divisors of 496. In
chapter 2 the letter places of the 5th (=37th) Elohim are: 246, 247, 248, 249 and 250. The sum of these numbers is 1240
or 5x248. De
middle letter of Elohim, So in the verse (Gen.2:5) ‘Elohim’ is the 16th word. From the start of the second chapter 'Elohim' is the 62nd word and at the same time the 5th Elohim in Gen.2. The number 62 is the 7th factor in the sequence of divi sors of 496. Here in the second chapter the 5th divisor becomes connected with the 7th divisor of 496. Note: prime 5=7. Here becomes referred by means of the 'prime jump' from the 5th verse to the 7th verse in Genesis 2: Gen.2:7 has namely 16 words and 62 letters.In Gen.2:7 is described an other time what in verse 27 already was described, namely: the creation of men. This is an important part of Creation and it is possibly for this reason that this verse is tied up mathematical way. This impression becomes even stronger in Gen.2:22 where the woman is made and brought to the man. This verse starts on letter 2727 and ends on letter 2772. From the start of the bible there are 727 words to the end of the verse. From verse 27 (the creation of men) up to and including Gen.2:22 (woman brought to the man) are 27 verses. The number 2772 happens to be the 2368th composite. Because 2368 is the CV of Jesus Christ, he seems to place also here his fingerprint. An other theme can be found between the start of the bible and the third day of creation. Letter 496 is to be found in the third day in Gen.1:11 the 50th letter. From the start of the third day (Gen.1:9) this is the 151st letter. Now was word 496 the 37th Elohim and the 37th prime is 151. With this seems word 496 to connect itself with letter 496 in the third day for letter 496 happens to be the 151st letter in the third day: It is also nice to see that the third day contains 259 letters, which is 7x37. Seven stars with 37 units can express this number : 259=7x37 The core, the hexagons of the six outmost stars plus the seventh Star of David in the center is: (6x19)+37=114+37=151 In the third day the accent lays on the number 151, the 37th prime. The last Elohim that occurs in the third day is word 151 of the bible. Till the end of the third day there are 604 letters which is: 4x151. This might be an expression of importance of this number 151 (letter 496 of the bible) in the third day. The gematria of these five verses is: 3068+2074+5165+4335+1342=15984. This is 432x37. The sum of this multiplication is: 432+37=469, an anagram of 496. To make visible how 496 further is connected with the third day, we have to count the digits of the divi sors of 496. The sum is:1+2+4+8+(1+6)+(3+1)+(6+2)+(1+2+4)+(2+4+8)=55 The sum of the verse numbers of the third day, Gen.1:9-13, is: 9+10+11+12+13=55. I remind you that 496 is the third perfect number. And there are also 55 aleph's from the start of the bible, the first letter of the alphabet that represents God in the text. There are 3 triangles of 55 units needed together with 496 to form the Star of David with 661 units: 496+(3x55)=496+165=661.
If we go to letter 661 then it happens to be the last letter of word 172 (2x86) 'for signs' in Gen.1:14. The sum of the letter places of this word is 658+659+660+661=2638. This a digit anagram of 2368, Jesus Christ. The birth date of Jesus is the starting point of our calendar and in this way he is a sign for seasons, days and years. We can also find between letter 496 and letter 661 the Jesus-code with ELS 22, of which the sum of the letter places is: 625+603+581+559=2368. The
distance from 496 up to and including 559, the last letter of the code, is 64.
And the distance from the first letter of the code 625 up to and including 661 is 37.
These are the factors 64 and 37 of Jesus Christ,
Together these two letters form the word 'Seth',
The kingdom in Hebrew is: We see here that the divi sors of the perfect number 496 play a roll in dividing letters, words and verses in the bible text.
The
Kingdom:
Joshua 12 also seems to have a relation with the Perfect Number 496. In this chapter 31 kings become described that are defeated by the sons of Israel, to make place for the nation of Israel. The chapter has: 963 letters, 248 words and 24 verses. 248 is the 9th divisor of 496. We know that 496 the 31st triangular number is. The bible writer has used this fact in the last verse of Joshua 12:24. The king of Tirzah, one; all the kings being thirty and one. Book Joshua is the 6th book of the bible; the 6th divisor of 496 is 31. And the 6th composite is 12. As you know the 12th prime is 31.
factors of 496: 1x(2x2x2x2)x31 Joshua
12:24 The king of Tirzah, one; all the kings being thirty and one. The words 'thirty
and one',
Also
the number of letters of the chapter (963) is coded in the words
Now that these words and numbers have our attention, we can look further. Now we look at the numbers of letters, words and verses of the Book Joshua. From the beginning of the book till Joshua 12:24 there are: 20007 letters, 5115 words and 303 verses So word 5115 is the
last word of Joshua 12:1-24:
The factors of 5115 are: 1x3x5x11x31. The sum is 1+3+5+11+31=51. But we were talking about the word(s) thirty one. 31 is one of the factors of 5115. In fact 5115 is (1x3x5x11)x31=165x31. The 165th palindrome is 6666, which is 1551+5115. Everything is there, but changed a bit. Maybe my explanation is here not quit correct, but I think it's very close. It's all about changes that God is going to make. And I remind you that 165 is 3x55, three times the triangle of 10 that are added to the triangle of 31 to make the Star of David with 661 units.
661 reversed is
166. When we 'telescope' 166 and 661 we find 1661. The last letter of the
word thirty,
This mem is letter
20003 of the book Joshua. This letter seems also to have a relation with the
hee,
Maybe the last letter
of Joshua 12:24 is telling us even more. It is the daleth and the 324812th
letter of the bible. The factors of 324812 are: 1x(2x2)x81203. The sum of
these factors is: 1+4+81203=81208. The daleth has the number value 4 and in
81208 we find on the fourth place a zero. When we remove
this 0, we find the
number 8128, which is the 4th Perfect Number!!! This number is stitched to the ninth
divisor 248 of the 3rd perfect number, for the word
echad,
I think that this is only the top of the iceberg of the hidden structures. There will come other researchers with more insight, being able to explain the meaning of these structures. Like always: this analysis of the perfect number 496 in relation to the bible is far from complete. But I hope that I could bring some light. Here are some more observations in relation to the perfect number 496, but they make the structure not more clear yet, but they might be interesting for other researchers. Tablets of stone, Is
made perfect,
