Menorah of 7 interchangeable Edenics letter/groups, the color code:
lip-made (red); throat-made (brown), tooth-made (blue), nose-made (green),
tongue-made (pink), whistling letters (orange).When a vowel is marked (purple).
Take out your hand-held calculating device, your mano (hand) in Spanish, and let us count (MaNaH מנה in Hebrew) up to ten, along with an early human hunter-gatherer. Not too early, with one of the Creator’s prototype hominids from earlier “days”, ימים YaMeeYM or eons in Greek. The first Modern Human with our universal Edenic Language program factory-installed was Adam in Eden. The program was diversified (Genesis 11) to thwart the one-world government elites, but our reverse-engineering has already recovered much of the planet’s Hebrew Roots (Zephania 3:9). The first Hebrews emerged in the Late Bronze Age, but Abram the Chaldean was taught the Language of Eden by Ever (thus Ivrit/Hebrew) the grandson of Noah. Noah’s family survived both the trauma that would break up the single continent, and the neuro-linguistic one that broke up our single language.
Enough intro; this is the part that COUNTS:
1) One ( אחד EK[H]aD) is the loneliest number (Genesis 1:4). Like the graphic of # one (1), it is thin, sharp, with a solitary plane. That’s what חד EK[H]aD means in Hebrew: thin, sharp. The fisherman returns home with but a single catch on this frustrating day. Only one finger is sheepishly displayed. The family must go hungry. [ Our E-Word entry: ACUTE]
2) Two ( שנים SH’NaYiM) isn’t much more, but it does infer a difference, a נויש
SHeeNOOY . שנה SHaNaH means both change (source of CHANGE) and,
paradoxically, being repetitive. Similar opposites never appear in human
languages. שני SHaYNeeY is second. Our unlucky hunter-gatherer can at least
show 2 fingers; there’s twice as much for the family to sink their teeth into.
Teeth, שנים SHeeNaYiM, also change food, breaking it down makes it different
with repetitive action. And we get two sets of teeth. [ CHANGE]
3) Three (שלוש SHaLOASH) is the first real number, a multiplicity… not just the difference between unique singularity and otherness. There is a ל ת ש ל ש SHaLSHeLeT, a chain (not Biblical, but attested Semitic) a group. Enough to SLICE up for distribution. שלשם SHiLSHoaM meant three days ago, three is a significant number, enough to define the recent, not the immediate past (Genesis 31:2). Three makes an impact in time as in space. [TERZA RIMA]
Numbers 4 -10 reflect a hunter-gatherer’s increasing joy at accumulating desired
objects:
4) With four fish or etc., ארבע ARB[A]h, our hunter finally feels that he has
many or רב RahBH (Genesis 33:9). More than three; most of his fingers.
Reverse ב-ר Bhet-Resh to hear FOUR. [RIFE]
5) חמש K[H]aMeSH, five, echos ץ מ ק QaMahTS, handful -- which echos HAND, COUNT and CENT. Returning home with five fish, the hunter can proudly flash a full handful of fingers. [COUNT, HAND]
6) With six, שש SHaiSH, he is joyful or שש SahS (Psalms 119:162). Now he’s flashing both hands. Now he can go to a neighbor and barter. [PEGASUS]
7) At seven, ע ב ש SHe(V)[A]h, he feels satiation or שבע Soa(V)[A]h (Genesis 41:34). The old hungry days are not even a bad memory.
[SEPTEMBER, SEVEN]
8) With eight, ה נ ו מ ש SH’MOANeH , he has more than enough, and is rolling in surplus or ן מש SHeMeN , fat (Genesis 27:28). Go to the 8th letter/number, ח HeT, to hear EIGHT. [EIGHT]
9) ת ש ע TeSH’[A]h, number nine, stretches out his whole world. שטח SHeeDTaK[H] is to spread out the hands (Psalms 88:10). שטח SHaDTahK[H]
is expanding, enlarging. Far more than a triumphant 2-hand gesture to the family,
the breadwinner can move out of his cave or tent to set up as a retailer.
10) The hunter-gatherer who came home with ten (רעש [E]SeR ) edible items was no average provider, but now was a rich (עשיר [A]SHeeYR ) and happy (אשר OaSHeR ) person of standing in the clan. Beyond fingers, he can now attract employees and be a wholesaler.
In a world where poverty is glorified by governments and faiths, it is refreshing to encounter a language-culture where wealth and happiness sound alike. The opposite of unbridled Capitalism, Torah is obsessed with kindness and fairness. [RICHES]
Maybe you still think that numbers are just numbers. All words only mean what we say they mean. This is the old paradigm taught by the Ministers of Meaninglessness in our universities. They think that the dance of the bumblebee (an advanced location system) evolved by itself. This is not “thinking,” but emotional blocking, from the fear that a Creator of meaning could require an objective morality and responsibility. Soon, even full professors will learn how to count to ten. The paradigms they are a-changin’.
