Making Props



In oversimplified form,
the method of skipped-letter encryption is easily grasped,
and when it is used this way by inexperienced enthusiasts,
it produces a great deal of nonsense.
—Jeffrey Satinover / Cracking the Bible Code

Okay, we'll oversimplify the form
So we can grasp the concept
This won't be science
But neither will it be nonsense
Let's just try to get a handle on this thing


We need to start with a Torah
(You remember what the Torah is, right?)
304,805 Hebrew characters would take a long time to load
And be real hard for most of us to read or understand
So let's use use a translation instead
And how 'bout just the first two verses of Genesis?
Since the New International Version of the Bible is the one I've got here
We'll use that, okay?
We'll call that our mini-pseudo-Torah

Here's our pseudo-Torah as a contiguous string of letters (clipped to save scrolling):


INTHEBEGINNINGGODCREATED...ANDTHESPIRITOFGODWASHOVERINGOVERTHEWATERS


Kinda hard to read, so let's separate the letters a bit (and clip a bit more):


I N T H E B E G I N N I N G G O D . . . O V E R T H E W A T E R S


I made this prop in an attempt to explain the codes to someone else
I wrote those two verses on a long strip of paper
And coiled it around a cylinder (a highlighter lying nearby)
The 16th letter fell just below the first
And so on as the strip coiled down the felt pen
I copied this rectangular letter formation on another sheet of paper


I N T H E B E G I N N I N G G
O D C R E A T E D T H E H E A
V E N S A N D T H E E A R T H
N O W T H E E A R T H W A S F
O R M L E S S A N D E M P T Y
D A R K N E S S W A S O V E R
T H E S U R F A C E O F T H E
D E E P A N D T H E S P I R I
T O F G O D W A S H O V E R I
N G O V E R T H E W A T E R S



These are the three shapes—dimensions—the of the Torah

The line of letters is the linear array—in essence a one-dimensional object
The block of letters is the rectangular array—the Torah in two dimensions
The coil of letters [not shown] is the cylindrical array—a three-dimensional object


The computer program searches for specific words along the linear array
Forwards and backwards
It looks at equidistant letter sequences (ELS)
If it were to have found the target word in my linear array
And printed out the rectangular array above
The word would fall in one of the vertical columns
The word would have a skip sequence of 15—an ELS of 15
Get it?


I thought:

Hey, wouldn't it be cool if there was a word in one of those columns?

Well, there's bound to be a word
But maybe something to do with water...


Something about the references to water in those first two verses of Genesis struck a chord in me


Little did I know
The music was just beginning



It's the Water
