1. The Codes and their Significance: Explanation

Amongst the theories of Biblical Researchers is the notion that the Pentateuch (Five Books of Moses) was written by groups of men who originally had different beliefs and prepared different doctrines that were somehow eventually merged together into one document. This anti-Biblical idea was explained in a pseudo-scientific manner and first propounded by researchers in Europe"Brit-Am Now"-700 in the Nineteenth Century. The said researchers were not detached and scientifically unbiased but rather they nearly all were ideologically pagan, and anti-Semitic. Their anti-Biblical idea (popularized by Wellhausen) was discredited almost from the very beginning. The Wellhausen theory was also discredited by modern Computer analysis of Style at Haifa University in Israel some time ago. Similar findings were found for other other books of the Bible.

One of the ways to prove the Bible and to demonstrate that the Whole of the Pentateuch was written by one author directed by the Almighty is through the Bible Codes. These are messages or key words found by "jumping" at set intervals through the letters of the Pentateuch. For instance if one jumps at intervals of 7 or multiples of 7 (e.g. 49=7*7) through the Biblical passage concerning the Jubilee Year one frequently comes across the word "Shabat" which is connected with the Jubilee whereas in other passages the word "Shabat" appears far less frequently. Commentators in the past noticed that hidden messages in the Pentateuch were encoded in Biblical passages and this phenomenon was remarked upon even by academics who suggested that these encoded messages may have been deliberately asserted by a "human" author. At all events the Codes provide further proof for the existence of ONE AUTHOR for the whole of the Pentateuch. Since the advent of computers and more extensive analysis it has since been shown that the Codes could not have been of human device and must therefore have come from God and prove that the Bible is the Word of God.
Originally Moses wrote the Pentateuch in one continuous line. There were no gaps between words and the correct reading depended on tradition as explained by Nachmanides in his Introduction to Genesis. Sometimes more than one correct reading of the same letters is possible and was deliberately intended to be so. The fact that Scripture was written in one continuous line justifies our searching for significance at set intervals of letter-counts without taking account of gaps between words. Dennis Eisenberg in a book review of two books about the codes, quotes from Sir Isaac Newton, who discovered the force of gravity, deeply believed in the Bible, and spent forty years trying to prove the concept of a code within Scripture: "The secret was to be discovered in a cryptogram cunningly concealed within the words of the Bible. In order for a theory to be feasible that the future can be foretold, an awkward supposition must be made: The past, the present and the future are one". Albert Einstein also said: "the distinction between the past, present and future is only an illusion, however persistent. The future exists simultaneously with the past."
The existence of encoded messages (not necessarily only in the form of words at equidistant letter levels) had been known from the very beginning and is found in Classical Literature of Biblical Commentators. In the Modern Era, however, scholars became more and more aware of the possibility of revealing the encoded messages. Oskar Goldberg (1885-1952), noticed that the numbers 7 and 26 and combinations and multiples of them were systematically encoded throughout the Torah. This systematization is noticeable in the numbers of verses, the number of times certain names appear, numbers of descendants, etc. The number 26 is the numerical equivalent of the Tetragrammaton, i.e. of the Four-Lettered Name of God incorrectly transliterated as Jehovah or Yahwah. Goldberg presented his findings in a scientific manner. He had his own mystical notions and several Jewish and non-Jewish intellectuals (such as the writer, Thomas Mann) were influenced by him. Goldberg published his findings in 1908 and in this same year a certain Rav Pinhas Zalman Hurwitz in Cracow (Poland) published a work on the very same theme with additional findings of his own. Rav Hurwitz found that the Tetragrammaton appears 1820 times in the whole Torah and this number is the product of 70 multiplied by 26! Both Goldberg and Rav Hurwitz appear to have arrived at their findings independently of each other. Such phenomenon of parallel development are common in the history of sciences and of research in general.
It remained for Rabbi M. D. Weismandel to discover or re-discover the existence of coded messages at equidistant letter intervals throughout the Torah. In Hebrew this phenomenon is known as "dilugim" (i.e. "jumps") and in English nowadays as ELS, i.e. "Equidistant Letter Sequence". The results of this system have since been examined scientifically and it has been both extolled and criticized. There is quite an extensive literature on the subject. We applied our own criteria and found the method to be justifiable.
Since the Bible is the Word of God and Codes do exist within the Bible we are justified in searching for confirmation of Biblical Research using the Interval Code method. We are not using this method to determine doctrine but rather to check results already obtained by more conventional methods.

Using the Bible Codes as applied to the Torah (Five Books of Moses = Pentateuch) for hidden messages determinable by searching for key words at different letter-intervals, Brit-Am has shown how the Codes prove the English ("Angli") to consist (at least in part) of Israelite Tribes and that America is one of the places in which the promise to Isaac (of becoming numerous, blessed and a blessing to all nations) would be fulfilled.
We have also applied the ELS Codes Method to Australia. In the past we had come to believe that Australia is the Land of Sinim mentioned in Isaiah, from which land part of the Lost Ten Tribes would return. By using the Codes to find "SINIM" at set intervals we were able to confirm both that Sinim is Australia and that Australia belongs to Joseph. Shmuel Treister also examined the word SINIM in the Bible Codes and came to similar conclusions. It is statistically almost impossible that our results could be due to mere chance and when these results are regarded in conjunction with other ones then it must be admitted that these results are part of the Biblical message implanted in the Holy Books from the very beginning for the sake of our generation.

Bible Codes showed significant results in accordance with previous Brit-Am findings regarding Britain, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, USA, France, Belgium, Holland, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and other Brit-Am identified entities. Additional studies are now in progress or will be carried out in the future.

2. Guiding Principles of Brit-Am Bible Codes Study

Size of Equidistant Letter Sequence (ELS):

it is generally accepted that the smaller the distance between letters in a sequence the more significant it is. This however may not necessarily be the case.

Different Spelling of Hebrew:

Generally speaking the Modern Hebrew spelling is to be preferred though all forms are legitimate and deserve to be considered.

The Primacy of "Torah" Findings

Findings in the Torah are More Important than those from the rest of the Bible.
The Hebrew Bible is considered as divided into Torah (Pentateuch), Neviim (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings). In short this is referred to as "Tanakh" i.e. in the Hebrew the word "Tanakh" means the Bible in general.
The word "Torah" is derived from the root "HoReH" and denotes teaching , instruction. "Torah" in general means ALL religious instruction. It is also applied specifically to the First Five Books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) otherwise known as the "Chumash" or Five (in English "Pentateuch"). These five books were written by Moses. They are what is found in a Torah Scroll. The Torah is considered more HOLY and authoritative than the other portions of the Bible which derive their importance from Torah premises.
Great care has been taken over the centuries to ensure that the text of the TORAH is exact and that no changes have been introduced. Regarding the other portions of the Bible less care has been taken and slightly different wordings here and there are found in different manuscripts. Generally speaking these differences are minor and do not bear on the meaning of the text. The differences however could influence the letter sequence. Bible Codes based on portions of the Bible other than the Torah are therefore less significant since we cannot be certain about the text itself. In addition the TORAH is considered a higher and more authoritiative source since all other Biblical Books derive their sanctity from it.
Nevertheless, Brit-Am in its Bible Code Studies usually does consider all portions of the Bible.

Readings Not in Usual Order

Hebrew is read from right-to-left. Archaeological findings indicate that in ancient times Hebrew could be read either from right-to-left or from left-to-right, the same as Ancient Greek Script which in effect is none other than Phoenician or Canaanite. Letter combinations in Bible Code readings from left-to-right are to be given preference though readings in ALL directions are legitimate.

Any Reading is Acceptable.

Even if the one letter forms a part of another word and has already been explained as part of that word the letter can be used again to form any other possible combination.

More than One Finding.

It often happens that an entry will produce several findings. One of these findings will usually be found to relate in a concentrated manner on the Biblical Identity of the entry. Other findings may recall the Biblical Identity but not concentrate upon it. A secondary finding will often be found to relate to Biblical Identities that were of importance to the Entry but not its determining identifying element.

Findings of Importance May be Overlooked.

Just because we examine an entry and do not find anything does not mean that there is nothing there.

3. General Examples

(a) The Shabat and Israel

In the example below we are told that God completed the Creation on the Sixth Day and rested on the seventh or Sabbath Day. In the Hebrew text beginning with the last letter of sixth (in the expression "THE SIXTH [Hebrew: HaShishI] DAY") and counting every SEVENTH letter we get the word ISRAEL.



In ELS (Equidistant Letter Sequence) Matrix format:

Note that the sign * replaces the last letter out of respect (on the part of our program designer) since this letter is part of one of the Holy Names of the Almighty.
At all events in this matrix spaces between words have been removed so that each letter has an equal destancve between it and the next one. The extract has been arranged in rows of 7 letters. The letters colored WHITE ON BLUE are one on top of the other showing that there is a distance of seven letters between each one. In Hebrew they spell ISRAEL.

[Genesis 1:31] AND GOD SAW EVERY THING THAT HE HAD MADE, AND, BEHOLD, IT WAS VERY GOOD. AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE SIXTH [Hebrew: HaShishI] DAY.

[Genesis 2:1] THUS THE HEAVENS [Hebrew: HaShaMaYiM] AND THE EARTH [Hebrew: HaAReTS] WERE FINISHED, AND ALL THE HOST [Hebrew: TSVAeM] OF THEM.

[Genesis 2:2] AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD [Hebrew: ELOHIM] ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE.

(b) The Codes in Action:
An Example.
The Codes, Plants, and the Garden of Eden

Yehudah Feliks found the names of only 26 plants mentioned in the Torah. Dr Moshe Katz and Professor Eliyahu Ripps found ALL of these plants encoded in Genesis chapters 2 and 3 wherein the Almighty plants a garden in Eden. This is the only portion of the entire Bible wherein ALL of the said plants are to be found.
The relevant section is the following:

[Genesis 2:7] AND THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL.                     
 
[Genesis 2:8] AND THE LORD GOD PLANTED A GARDEN EASTWARD IN EDEN; AND THERE HE PUT THE MAN WHOM HE HAD FORMED.                     
 
[Genesis 2:9] AND OUT OF THE GROUND MADE THE LORD GOD TO GROW EVERY TREE THAT IS  PLEASANT TO THE SIGHT, AND GOOD FOR FOOD; THE TREE OF LIFE ALSO IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN, AND THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.                     
 
[Genesis 2:10] AND A RIVER WENT OUT OF EDEN TO WATER THE GARDEN; AND FROM THENCE IT WAS   PARTED, AND BECAME INTO FOUR HEADS.                     
 
[Genesis 2:11] THE NAME OF THE FIRST IS PISON: THAT IS IT WHICH COMPASSETH THE WHOLE LAND OF HAVILAH, WHERE THERE IS GOLD;                     
 
[Genesis 2:12] AND THE GOLD OF THAT LAND IS GOOD: THERE IS BDELLIUM AND THE ONYX STONE.                     
 
[Genesis 2:13] AND THE NAME OF THE SECOND RIVER IS GIHON: THE SAME IS IT THAT COMPASSETH THE WHOLE LAND OF ETHIOPIA.                     
 
[Genesis 2:14] AND THE NAME OF THE THIRD RIVER IS HIDDEKEL: THAT IS IT WHICH GOETH TOWARD THE EAST OF ASSYRIA. AND THE FOURTH RIVER IS EUPHRATES.                     
 
[Genesis 2:15] AND THE LORD GOD TOOK THE MAN, AND PUT HIM INTO THE GARDEN OF EDEN TO DRESS IT AND TO KEEP IT.                     
 
[Genesis 2:16] AND THE LORD GOD COMMANDED THE MAN, SAYING, OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN THOU MAYEST FREELY EAT:                     
 
[Genesis 2:17] BUT OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, THOU SHALT NOT EAT OF IT:   FOR IN THE DAY THAT THOU EATEST THEREOF THOU SHALT SURELY DIE.                     
 
[Genesis 2:18] AND THE LORD GOD SAID, IT IS NOT GOOD THAT THE MAN SHOULD BE ALONE; I WILL MAKE HIM AN HELP MEET FOR HIM.                     
 
[Genesis 2:19] AND OUT OF THE GROUND THE LORD GOD FORMED EVERY BEAST OF THE FIELD, AND EVERY FOWL OF THE AIR; AND BROUGHT THEM UNTO ADAM TO SEE WHAT HE WOULD CALL THEM: AND  WHATSOEVER ADAM CALLED EVERY LIVING CREATURE, THAT WAS THE NAME THEREOF.                     
 
[Genesis 2:20] AND ADAM GAVE NAMES TO ALL CATTLE, AND TO THE FOWL OF THE AIR, AND TO EVERY  BEAST OF THE FIELD; BUT FOR ADAM THERE WAS NOT FOUND AN HELP MEET FOR HIM.                     
 
[Genesis 2:21] AND THE LORD GOD CAUSED A DEEP SLEEP TO FALL UPON ADAM, AND HE SLEPT:  AND HE TOOK ONE OF HIS RIBS, AND CLOSED UP THE FLESH INSTEAD THEREOF;                     
 
[Genesis 2:22] AND THE RIB, WHICH THE LORD GOD HAD TAKEN FROM MAN, MADE HE A  WOMAN, AND BROUGHT HER UNTO THE MAN.                     
 
[Genesis 2:23] AND ADAM SAID, THIS IS NOW BONE OF MY BONES, AND FLESH OF MY FLESH: SHE  SHALL BE CALLED WOMAN, BECAUSE SHE WAS TAKEN OUT OF MAN.                     
 
[Genesis 2:24] THEREFORE SHALL A MAN LEAVE HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER, AND SHALL CLEAVE UNTO HIS WIFE: AND THEY SHALL BE ONE FLESH.                     
 
[Genesis 2:25] AND THEY WERE BOTH NAKED, THE MAN AND HIS WIFE, AND WERE NOT ASHAMED.                     
 
[Genesis 3:1] NOW THE SERPENT WAS MORE SUBTIL THAN ANY BEAST OF THE FIELD WHICH THE  LORD GOD HAD MADE. AND HE SAID UNTO THE WOMAN, YEA, HATH GOD SAID, YE SHALL NOT  EAT OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN?                     
 
[Genesis 3:2] AND THE WOMAN SAID UNTO THE SERPENT, WE MAY EAT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREES OF  THE GARDEN:                     
 
[Genesis 3:3] BUT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN, GOD HATH SAID, YE SHALL NOT EAT OF IT, NEITHER SHALL YE TOUCH IT, LEST YE DIE.                     
 
This is what it looks like in Hebrew:

Above one finds all the 26 plants mentioned in the Bible encoded.
This is how it looks in ELS matrix format:

Beginning from the top and working downwards:
WHEAT (in Hebrew "CHITA") is found at intervals of 8 letters.
THE VINE (in Hebrew "GeFeN") at an interval of 18 letters going backwards.
GRAPE (in Hebrew "ANaV") at an interval of 6 letters going backwards.
CHESNUT (cf. Genesis 30:34 in Hebrew "ARMON") at an interval of 44 letters.
MYRTLE (Leviticus 23:40 in Hebrew "AVoT") at an interval of 3 letters going backwards.
DATE PALM (in Hebrew "TaMaR") at an interval of 5 letters.
SHITTIM WOOD (Exodus 25:5 in Hebrew "ShiTaH") at an interval of 3 letters going backwards.
BRAMBLE BUSH (Judges 9:14 in Hebrew "ATaD") at an interval of 7 letters.
PINE TREE (Leviticus 14:4 in Hebrew "AReZ") at an interval of 5 letters going backwards.
PISTACIO NUTS (Genesis 43:11 in Hebrew "BoTeN") at an interval of 13 letters.
FIG TREE (in Hebrew "TeANaH") at an interval of 14 letters.
WILLOW TREE (in Hebrew "ARaVaH") at an interval of 15 letters working backwards.
POMEGRANITE (in Hebrew "RiMON") at an interval of 8 letters.
ALOES (in Hebrew "AHiLIM") at an interval of 6 letters.
TAMARISK GROVE (in Hebrew "ESheL") at an interval of 2 letters.
OAK TREE (in Hebrew "ALON") at an interval of 17 letters.
POLAR TREE (in Hebrew "LiVNaH") at an interval of 85 letters working backwards.
CASSIA (Exodus 30:24 in Hebrew "KiDaH") at an interval of 7 letters.
ALMOND (in Hebrew "SheKeD") at an interval of 5 letters.
PISTACHIA (Genesis 35:4 in Hebrew "ELaH") at an interval of 2 letters going backwards.
BUSH (Exodus 3:2 in Hebrew "SeNeH") at an interval of 9 letters.
ALMOND TREE (Genesis 30:37 in Hebrew "LUZ") at an interval of 13 letters going backwards.
OLIVE (in Hebrew "ZAYiT") at an interval of 3 letters.
CITRON (Leviticus 23:40 in Hebrew "HaDaR") at an interval of 3 letters going backwards.
GOPHER WOOD ([Genesis 6:14 in Hebrew "GoFeR") at an interval of 8 letters.
OATS (in Hebrew "SeAURaH") at an interval of 159 letters going backwards.

In the above Biblical Passage we find all plants mentioned in the Bible in encoded form of Equal Letter Sequence (ELS). Only here do we find such a phenomenon and here it is more pertinent than anywhere else.
This is not an isolated incident but an example illustrating a general rule.
