Truth and LightThe Bible has God's own signature written into the original texts just like the watermark on a sheet of stationary, or a bank note filigree.

These rules imply the exactitude right down to the form and size of letters: so that a Biblical text is declared impure if only one letter is missing or if one has been added. Rabbi Ishmael declared to a scribe: "My son, be very careful in your work, because it is a heavenly work, never omit a letter and never add a letter because they contain the whole world." According to these very strict rules, one has been able to preserve the authentic text of the Bible from generation to generation. Certain liberal critics have doubted, but today the computer has brought us an brilliant demonstration.

So in certain sentences a same word can appear several times with different spellings and that apparently without reason. The scribes respected these strange transformations. However the computer has now discovered why these things took place. The computer can read the Bible by what is called in Hebrew "letter jumps". Words are constructed from individual letters distant from each other and separated by a fixed number of letters according to a frequency given initially by certain criteria and called "codes". For this reason it is necessary to ignore the spaces between the words.

In fact an ancient Jewish tradition states that Moses received the Torah from God without spaces between the letters (similar to what is done in certain ancient languages dating from the same period, for example in Egyptian hieroglyphics). So it is that there are a few different ways of reading the Torah and it is only later that God told Moses to separate the words and showed him where to insert the spaces.
