Bible Numbers 2.0

Part 6: The Proclamation In Chinese
(Exodus 34:6-7)

(可 惜 這 頁 沒 有 中 文 繙 譯)

It seems inappropriate that The Proclamation in Hebrew, with so many numeric features following Revelation 1:8, should be paired with translations so lacking in numeric features. Would it not be more appropriate for a passage where God describes Himself to have features in another language? The following is an attempt to retain the Hebrew meaning and also have numeric coincidences in Chinese.

(N.B. This was done previously as an experiment, but that effort did not follow the Hebrew, and it required over 62 million combinations.)

Skeptics will claim this disproves the uniqueness of Bible Numbers since they can be manufactured. It does not. You can try, but there is no guarantee of success. Further more, there is no guarantee the exact same total of the passage can be produced in another language. The following example in Chinese lays the groundwork for the next example in English. Both show the uniqueness of the ideas behind God's description of Himself. It is the English example that has the exact same total as the original Hebrew text.

Current Chinese Bibles rely heavily on English interpretations of Exodus 34:6-7. These are translated into Chinese and as a result do not always follow or reflect the original Hebrew. A few of the many examples of this are 不輕易發怒 (not easily angered) for the Hebrew אֶ֥רֶךְ אַפַּ֖יִם (slow to/of angers), the use of 誠實, 忠誠, and 忠實 for וֶאֱמֶֽת (truth, faithfulness, stability), 千 (thousand[s]), 千萬 (thousand ten thousand[s]), 千千萬萬 (millions of hundred millions) and 萬代 (ten thousand generations) for לָאֲלָפִ֔ים (thousands).

The three main Chinese Bible versions are given below for Exodus 34:6-7 with each logical reading section approximately matched.

One obvious need for improvement are the words describing what God forgives. The Hebrew is quite clear on iniquity (deliberate or not), transgression (deliberate) and sin, but the Chinese translations are not. The CCB's 緩於發怒 (slow regarding rising anger) is closer to the Hebrew, but it could be even closer. Interpretations have definitely expanded beyond the Hebrew love for thousands to millions and generations. And finally, the Hebrew וְנַקֵּה֙ לֹ֣א יְנַקֶּ֔ה (literally clear not clear) is interpreted as punishment being sure for the guilty. A new translation of Exodus 34:6-7 into Chinese is necessary.

The following table lists different character choices for each section, and an explanation for those options.

A computer can go through each of the options and construct a complete phrase to see how many numeric coincidences can be found. Only phrases with the highest number of coincidences would be kept.

The options above generated 53,084,160 different phrases. The odds would suggest a seventh of the 53 million would have a coincidence divisible by 7, and a forty-ninth would have two coincidences divisible by 7. The table below gives an idea of how many phrases one might expect to have one coincidence, two, three or more.

The chance of finding one phrase in 53 million with nine coincidences is practically one. Anything more than ten coincidences would be even more unlikely. While the odds would have suggested finding only one phrase with 9 coincidences, the current setup managed to produce 5209! In every category, the current setup exceeded the odds several times over.⁴ (Even if the number expected is doubled, the picture would not change by much.

Five phrases had the most coincidences, but only one had the best internal agreement.

宣 告 說 上 帝 上 帝 是 有 憐 憫 有 恩 典 係 慢 慢 怒 的 天 帝 並 且 有 豐 盛 的 慈 愛 和 準 確 可 靠 的 為 千 千 人 保 持 慈 愛 赦 免 錯 誤 違 犯 罪 孽 判 決 係 唔 係 清 白 試 錯 誤 自 父 及 子 至 孫 直 到 三 四 代

Translating from the Chinese...

Proclaim, The LORD, The LORD is merciful and gracious, a slow to anger heavenly sovereign, also abundant in love and proven all trustworthy, keeping love for thousands of people, forgiving error, disobedience and sin, verifying innocence or guilt, by testing error on the father, with the son, to the grandson straight through three four generations.

This seventy-two character phrase is a marvellous construction of coincidence and order.

Numeric Coincidences

A.1Since Chinese has no letters, the complementary principle of Alpha and Omega or First and Last from Revelation 1:8 can only be applied to the first and last characters, 宣 (proclaim) and 代 (generation): 1926 + 271 = 2197 (13 x 13 x 13). This has not changed from the previous page.

A.2But there is something else to notice. In Chinese dictionaries, 宣 is classified under 宀, which is the fortieth radical. 代 is classified under 人, which is the ninth radical. Thus in terms of radicals, these two characters would be 40 + 9, or 49 (7 x 7).

A.3Coincidentally, 宣 is composed of 9 strokes, while 代 is composed of 5 strokes. Together there would be 14 (2 x 7) strokes.

A.4N.B. The radicals 宀 and 人 have the numeric values 8844 and 9, which together amount to 8853 (3 x 13 x 227).

A.5Interestingly, 宣 can be decomposed into four radicals 宀, 一, 日, and 一. 代 can be decomposed into two radicals 人, and 弋.

宀   一 日  一 人 弋 
8844 1 170 1  9 61 

The numeric values of these radicals: 9086 = 2 x 7 x 11 x 59.

A.5.2There is the possibility that 日, the third part of 宣, is actually 曰. These two characters might look the same to those unfamiliar with Chinese, but they are actually different. 日 means the sun, or day time. 曰 is wider, and there is a gap on the right of the middle line. 曰 means, to say or to speak. This changes the numeric value, but coincidentally still works.

宀   一 曰  一 人 弋
8844 1 171 1  9 61

Total: 9087 = 3 x 13 x 233.

A.5.3If the first and last sections of both 宣 and 代 are considered, there is no cioncidence. However, if the first radical of 宣, 宀, is considered with the last radical of 代, 弋, there is another coincidence.

宀      弋
8844   61

Total: 8905 = 5 x 13 x 137.

It would have been nice, decomposing all the other characters into radicals to apply the principle of first and last, but as seen in A.5.2 there can be some ambiguity. For some characters, this is actually impossible. The very next character is 告. The bottom square or rectangle is easily recognized as a radical, but there is no official radical for the top part. Would it be 丿, or 十, or 土? Thus all other coincidences must come from different principles found in Revelation 1:8, such as is, was, is to come (sequence), or complementary opposites.

B.The first sequence is the entire passage. The numeric total of the entire passage: 188174 = 2 x 7 x 13441.

B.2The digits of the total point out six characters from the beginning of the passage, and six characters from the end of the passage.

Character value total: 12441 = 3 x 11 x 13 x 29. SF: 56 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7. SF: 13. (The factors go three levels.)

B.3The of the factors from the total (2 x 7 x 13441) add up to 13450. This points to four characters from the beginning and four characters from the end.

Total: 13026 = 2 x 3 x 13 x 167.

Once again it would have been nice if the coincidence continued with the factors of 13450, but it does not. Each level is further and further from the original total. It should not be expected that the pattern continue.

Sequences

C.Following is, was, is to come in Revelation 1:8, the next sequence would be every other character. These would be the odd positioned characters, and the even positioned characters. Odd and even are also complementary opposites.

C.1Odd positioned characters:

1926 5986 1939 1939 628 6248 2663 1818 5636 1659 1939 259 7832 1659
4883 5000 298 1659 37 9 1978 4883 780 5951 392 8223 1038 2489 3598
5270 5951 184 45 2590 1197 317

Total: 98903 = 7 x 71 x 199.

C.2Even positioned characters:

810 24 24 2064 6247 628 1190 5636 1956 146 1156 628 3698 4880 1294
6421 6690 2161 37 1808 4880 3883 7098 5385 5168 785 1818 1818 406
7098 668 143 669 1662 21 271

Total: 89271 = 3 x 3 x 7 x 13 x 109.

C.3.1But it isn't just every other character. There are other sequences. Beginning with the first character, and taking every Nth after, the following values of N produce totals divisible by 13:

9 27 33 36

Coincidentally, the sum of these four numbers is 105 (3 x 5 x 7).

C.3.2Rather than starting with the first character, one could begin with the Nth character, and take every Nth after. The following values of N produce totals divisible by 13:

2 3 7 23 25 31

Once again, coincidentally, the sum of these six numbers: 91 = 7 x 13.

D.So far, all these sequences are the result of taking a single character from fixed positions through the passage. But characters can also be grouped, and the groups can be taken in sequence. Out of ten possible alternating segments (2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36), five were successful (2, 3, 4, 8, 36). The odds would have suggested only two might work.

D.1.1Odd positioned segments of 2:

1926 810 1939 24 628 6247 2663 1190 5636 1956 1939 1156 7832 3698

Total: 54678 = 2 x 3 x 13 x 701.

I.1.2The first and last characters are classified under the radicals 宀 and 人. These are the 40th and 9th radicals. This points to the 49th character in the passage, which is 392 (2 x 2² x 7²).

I.1.3宀 and 人 also have the numeric values 8844 and 9. Apply once to the passage.

a) 8844 9
b) 8844 69

a) 8853
b) 8853

I.2.1Every 7th character (from the beginning):

1939 1190 1939 4880 1659 4880 392 1818 184 21

Total: 18902 = 2 x 13 x 727. SF: 742 = 2 x 7 x 53.

I.2.2Every 7th character (from the end):

669 5270 785 780 37 5000 628 5636 6247 5986

Total: 31038 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 739.

I.3.1Sixteen characters had numeric values divisible by seven. Their sum together would naturally be divisible by seven. What is unexpected is that they are divisible by seven several times.

Position: 5    7    14   19   21   23  27   35   46   49  57   58  60
Value:    1939 1939 1190 1659 1939 259 1659 1659 7098 392 3598 406 7098

Position: 67   69   70
Value:    2590 1197 21

Total: 34643 = 7³ x 101.

I.3.2Four characters were divisible by thirteen. The sum of the factors is divisible by seven twice.

Position: 45  46   60   64
Value:    780 7098 7098 143

Total: 15119 = 13 x 1163. SF: 1176 = 2³ x 3 x 7²

I.4The phrase is, was, and is come in Revelation 1:8 sets the middle apart as first. Since the passage consists of 72 characters, there is no single middle character. But there can be two characters in the middle, or an even number of characters as the middle. There are exactly seven middle sections that are divisible by seven.

I.4.1The total of the start and end positions: 511 = 7 x 73.

I.4.2The values of the first and last characters of each middle section: 33787 = 13 x 23 x 113.

I.4.3The first half of the third row: 47103 = 3 x 7 x 2243.

I.4.3.2The last half of the third row: 37121 = 7 x 5303.

I.4.4Odd positioned segments of 10 from the fourth row: 50302 = 2 x 7 x 3593.

I.4.4.2Even positioned segments of 10 from the fourth row: 68012 = 2² x 7² x 347.

I.4.5Odd positioned segments of 2 from the fifth row: 78302 = 2 x 7² x 17 x 47.

I.4.5.2Even positioned segments of 2 from the fifth row: 74270 = 2 x 5 x 7 x 1061.

I.4.6Odd positioned segments of 3 from the seventh row: 96320 = 2⁶ x 5 x 7 x 43.

I.4.6.2Even positioned segments of 3 from the seventh row: 82523 = 7 x 11789.

I.4.6.3The first half of the seventh row: 90902 = 2 x 7 x 43 x 151. SF: 203 = 7 x 29.

I.4.6.4The last half of the seventh row: 87941 = 7 x 17 x 739. SF: 763 = 7 x 109.

Four of the seven rows in the table had more coincidences. The odds would have expected only one.

I.4.7All seven middle sections could be run together forming one large group of 246 numbers. When this is done, there would be six possible ways for dividing the group into equal segments. Half of them would yield alternating segments divisible by seven. The results even go into deeper levels. At least 128 extra coincidences divisible by seven and or thirteen were found. But since this is a translation I came up with, since there isn't a real reason for joining the middle sections, and on the possibility that there is a mathematical fluke, this investigation will not be delving into this.

I.5.1Exactly 21 characters (3 x 7) have simplified forms.

Traditional character: 說憐憫係並豐愛準確為愛錯誤違決係係試錯誤孫
Simplified form:       说怜悯系并丰爱准确为爱错误违决系系试错誤孙

I.5.2These characters are in the following positions:

3 10 11 15 22 25 29 31 32 36 43 46 47 48 53 54 56 59 60 61 67

Total of these positions: 808 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 101. This is not divisible by 7 or 13, but the factor of 101 still shows the one infinite God who is at the beginning and end. The number eight on either side are reminiscent of the math symbol for infinity. The zero in the middle represents our current creation, which in view of eternity is actually nothing. Chinese people consider the number 8 significant because it sounds like the characters associated with rising prosperity.

I.5.3Removing the duplicated characters with simplified forms leaves 16 characters.

說憐憫係並豐愛準確為錯誤違決試孫

I.5.3.1The number of strokes required to write these sixteen characters: 202.

I.5.3.2These 16 characters are classified under the following radicals:

言  心  心 人 一 豆  心 水  石  火  金  言  辵  水  言 子 

The number of strokes to write these radicals: 78 (2 x 3 x 13).

Radicals

There are no letters in Chinese, so characters in dictionaries are organized by radicals. The table below gives the radicals for each character, the number of strokes for the character, the radical's position in a dictionary, and the number of strokes for the radical itself.

J.1Radical number total: 4893 = 3 x 7 x 233.

J.2Radical stroke total: 280 = 2³ x 5 x 7.

J.3.1Seven characters are composed of 14 strokes.

說   慢    誤   誤   慢   慈    慈
5986 5636 5951 5951 5636 4880 4880

Total: 38920 = 2³ x 5 x 7 x 139.

J.3.2The radicals for these seven characters and their numeric values are given below.

言   心   言   言   心   心   心
1126 160 1126 1126 160 160 160

Total: 4018 = 2 x 7² x 41.

J.3.3Four characters are composed of seven strokes.

Character:            告 判 決 免
Strokes in character: 7  7  7  7
Character's radical:  口 刀 水 儿
Radical number:       30 18 85 10
Strokes in radical:   3  2  4  2

Total of the radical numbers: 143 = 11 x 13.

J.4Seven characters have radicals composed of seven strokes.

說 14 言 149 7
豐 18 豆 151 7
赦 11 赤 155 7
誤 14 言 149 7
違 13 辵 162 7
試 13 言 149 7
誤 14 言 149 7

The sum of the radical numbers: 1064 = 2³ x 7 x 19.

J.5Six characters are composed of 13 strokes.

試      違     愛       罪    愛     準
5270   5385   4883   5168   4883   5000

Total: 30589 = 13² x 181.

Strokes

K.1Forty-one characters are composed of an odd number of strokes.

Numeric total of these characters: 96082 = 2 x 7 x 6863.

K.2Thirty-one characters have an even number of strokes.

Total: 92092 = 2² x 7 x 11 x 13 x 23.

It is curiously coincidental that the number of characters with an odd number of strokes is a prime number, and that this is mirrored with the characters with an even number of strokes.

K.3Forty characters have radicals with an even number of strokes. (In this case, the characters with radicals having an odd number of strokes has no corresponding coincidence.)

Total: 105313 = 13 x 8101.

K.3.2The forty values can be divided into four segments of ten characters each.

K.3.2.1Odd positioned segments of 10:

271 9 1818 1818 1808 1818 780 1190 1197 785
6247 6248 1956 1978 2064 628 628 628 3598 5000

Total: 40469 = 11 x 13 x 283.

K.3.2.2Even positioned segments of 10:

37 37 143 2663 4883 4883 5636 5636 4880 4880
1038 2161 184 392 5168 668 669 7098 7098 6690

Total: 64844 = 2 x 2 x 13 x 29 x 43.

Three Dimensions

L.The 72 character values can be loaded into a three dimensional block of 3 x 3 x 8.

L.1.1Outside: 167888 = 2⁴ x 7 x 1499.

L.1.2Inside: 20286 = 2 x 3² x 7² x 23.

L.1.3Eight corners: 11583 = 3⁴ x 11 x 13.

L.2Load the characters into a 6 x 4 x 3 block.

L.2.1Outside: 169274 = 2 x 7 x 107 x 113.

L.2.2Inside: 18900 = 2² x 3³ x 5² x 7.

L.2.3Top and bottom rows: 92204 = 2² x 7 x 37 x 89.

L.2.4Eight corners: 9308 = 2² x 13 x 179. SF: 196 = 2² x 7².

There are many possible coincidences with three dimensional objects, or even with two dimensions, but since they are based on the same number of characters, many have actually already been found in the preceding sections. Outside and inside are two that are new, as are the various corners.

Conclusion

One would not expect this translation to produce more coincidences than previous translations, but it did. Following the original Hebrew vocabulary and structure more closely limited many possible word choices. But it did not prevent the construction of a translation with many coincidences. Furthermore, many of these coincidences appeared more orderly than the ones on the previous page. Since numeric features were in the original Hebrew, these coincidences are not due to language, but by the idea(s) expressed by the language. And the idea of Exodus 34:6-7 is God describing Himself.

Is this still some gigantic fluke? The only way to be certain would be to try the above exercise again. The Proclamation In English will produce something even more astounding.

Notes

1. Protestant Bibles put a space before the word 神 when it refers to God: 　神. In Big5, the space is a wide space with a hexadecimal value of A140 (41280 in decimal). In terms of numerics, it has the value -767 (negative 767). This is a curious coincidence since 767 is 13 x 59, and the factor 13 can also be found in 上帝 and in the original Hebrew יהוה. It's as if the negative number is telling readers God’s title in Chinese is missing.
   There is also another coincidence. If the Chinese numerics included the Greek section, the value would be -515. This is not divisible by 7 or 13, but the factors eventually lead to 13: 515 = 5 x 103. SF: 108 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3. SF: 13.
2. There were sixteen other trials before word choices were refined to this point. Some results were quite spectacular in terms of coincidences, but none of them followed the Hebrew as closely as the word choices up above.
3. Other possible word choices were 判決有沒有罪 and 判決是不是清白. 有沒有 and 是不是 (is or is not) are similar to the Hebrew construction clear not clear. These options produced phrases where the Hebrew word עָוֹ֛ן (iniquity), which appears twice in the passage, would be translated by two different Chinese terms. Thus these choices were dropped for the sake of producing a more consistent result.
   
   The word choices finally settled upon, 判決有唔有罪 and 判決係唔係清白, use the Cantonese negative character 唔. It has the same meanings as 沒 and 不.
   
   The actual number of phrases generated would be twice the 53 million, or 106,168,320. But this larger number still doesn't outweigh the number of coincidences found.

4. The following example shows how difficult it might be to actually construct a phrase with many coincidences. Each line below has several options. The computer can choose one option from each line (e.g. John swiftly ran down the wide tree lined street ignoring the many expensive houses on his left and right).

   John Jean Alice Mary Tom He She
   swiftly quickly rapidly speedily
   ran trotted galloped jogged
   down up along
   the a an
   wide expansive broad
   tree-lined-street tree-lined-avenue tree-lined-boulevard tree-lined-road tree-lined-path street-lined-with-trees avenue-lined-with-trees boulevard-lined-with-trees road-lined-with-trees path-lined-with-trees
   ignoring not-seeing not-looking-at not-noticing not-aware-of
   the-many the-multitude-of
   expensive luxurious fancy upper-class wealthy rich high-class fabulous
   houses mansions buildings homes structures
   on-his-left-and-right on-either-side on-her-left-and-right

   There are 36,288,000 possible combinations. The one with the highest number of coincidences was,

   Alice rapidly trotted down a expansive tree lined path ignoring the multitude of fancy houses on his left and right.

   There are two problems with this sentence. First, his left does not agree with the gender of Alice, unless one accepts the name Alice as applying to a male. Second, a expansive is improper English. It should have been an expansive.

   Of course, one could settle for the next phrase with the highest number of coincidences if it was proper English, but then it would no longer be the phrase with the most coincidences.

The Rational Bible

Bible Issues

presents the Bible as a rational book, as history, economics, and prophecy (with an extensive look at the book of Revelation) also covering a diverse range of topics. (Active site.)
