Torah Numerology: hidden mathematical codes in Genesis 1:1

Fantastic book that's not about religion, it's pure science. The work penetrates in depth into the message of the first verse of the Torah, the original Hebrew text received from God by Moises in Sinai. Much more than a book on guematria as the title suggests, the publication of Engineer Yosef Sebag clearly and didactically shows that in the first verse of the Jewish Bible there are several explicit mathematical relationships ranging from hundreds of decimal places of Pí, through geometric figures of great complexity, perfect numbers and more. The book is full of concepts, explanations and referenced with all the rigor of Jewish orthodoxy without losing the taste of a possible and pleasant reading for anyone with a minimum of schooling. Honest intellectually, the book is formatted in a way that provides an easy understanding. It brings together gems of the great Kabalistic sages of the past and novelties brought by cutting-edge authors and mathematicians such as Oren Evron, Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, Professor Haim Shore (Engineer and Statistician), Leo Tavares and others.

The math of the first pasuk of the Torah is unquestionably not of human construction, it is simply beyond human capacity and this book proves it; For me, this is one of the top 5 books I have ever read. ROBERT HEDAYA, MD, DLFAPA, AFMCP, ABPN

In researching various Torah topics in math, science (especially Physics) it has become increasingly clear to the lay public that there is an underlying pattern to the Torah. This book, along with those of similar nature by other Orthodox rabbis, demonstrate that there is a unity to the Torah, along with an overwhelming complexity of non-random mathematical patterns (including geometric patterns and forms) that relate directly to the oral tradition of the Torah from a time when such mathematical analysis and language simply did not exist. The inference is unmistakable. This book provides a beginner insight into how such analysis is conducted, the relevance of key codes and gematrias and points to an internal geometry using advanced numerical concepts. Gematria is one of 32 methods of Torah interpretation and few books provide an in depth description of how that is done. This book, happily, points in that direction with dramatic examples of how the laws of mathematics that underpin our real, physical world are inherent in the Torah. Much is written on Kabbalah by mostly unqualified writers today, but the Gematria approach exhibited in this book, to portraying the meaning of Torah in mathematics, is both consumable and very demonstrable to the non-specialist reader and can be followed with a basic, post-high school, secular education. I recommend this book to those who are interested in understanding elements of the Gematria system and in revealing the elegant, mathematical beauty of the Hebrew Scripture, which challenges both secular assumptions and bias about the Hebrew Scripture.

I am not a math or science person BUT he made it worth reading and studying. I may have to look at more of his books.

The finest book on Torah gematria available on Amazon. Oren Evron’s gematria insights are renowned for their depth and clarity, and it is wonderful to finally see them compiled into book form. I eagerly look forward to future volumes featuring additional insights from Evron’s videos, beyond the already excellent Volume 1 and 2 of Torah Numerology. For serious students of gematria, I highly recommend “Proof of Good” by John Elias, which provides profound insights into both the Old and New Testaments, making it particularly valuable for Christian readers. For those new to gematria, excellent starting points are “The Pattern and Prophecy: God’s Great Code” by James Harris and “Second Edge” by Vernon Jenkins.
