I love it when I run across little tidbits that use numbers to further show the awesomeness of the scriptures. So I thought I would share this with everyone, hopefully I don’t lose you on this one. If so, cheer up, there’s always the cartoon on the back. In Deut. Chapter five, we see the location of the Ten Commandments. In Hebrew numbering, the yud equals 10 and the hei equals 5. The vav is a grammatical conjunctive meaning “and.”

Thus you have Yud-Hei-Vav-Hei, the name of our creator tying in to the Ten Commandments. Here is the really interesting part. There are Ten Commandments, or you could say, 5 + 5 = 10 as your mathematical equation to begin with. So that’s Hei, and Hei =10, the number value of yud in Yud-Hei-Vav-Hei, or the end of his name which would be a Hei and a Hei, also equaling ten. So we see right away that the Ten Commandments is a reflection of his name. The Torah has 613 commandments. Here we see the 613 broken down as 6+1+ 3 = 10, thus, 5 and 5 again. There are 248 positive commands, which just so happens to be the number of bones in the body. We see that 248 is 2+4+8 =14, which 14 is, 1+ 4 = 5. Then there are 365 negative commands.

This, by no accident I’m sure, happens to be the number of days that are in a year. So for the negative commands of 365, we have 3 + 6 + 5 = 14, and again 14 = 1 + 4 = 5. So when you take these two sums of five and five, you’re back to 10 again, which are the number of the Ten Commandments and the number of the letter yud, and also the last three letters of YHVH’S name. With our G-D everything is so minutely put together, that you can keep finding more and more as long as you want to search! So the Ten Commandments are indeed that, but they are also equal to the name of YHVH when broken down in numbers.
