The Proper Response
Real proof demands a proper response. And the right response to God’s Exodus proclamation and the declaration in Revelation 1:8, is found in Joshua 24:24.
Joshua 24:24 shows Israel at its closest relationship to God. This was the generation God had Moses train up over forty years. God had proven faithful in giving this generation the promised land, and Israel had proven faithful (barring some mishaps) in destroying the strongest Canaanite kings. And when Joshua said they could not serve God (Joshua 24:19), Israel insisted there was no other for them. In that brief moment Israel reflected a portion of God’s glory just as Moses' face reflected God’s glory (Exodus 34:29). The basic numeric features of Joshua 24:24 mirror those in the proclamation.
And the people said to Joshua,the lord our God we will serve, and his voice we will obey.(Joshua 24:24)1
ויאמרו העם אליהושע אתיהוה אלהינו נעבד ובקולו נשמע

Numeric Features
Primary Features
(Derived from Revelation 1:8 and grouped for easy reference.)
A.1Numeric total of the passage: 2065 = 5 x 7 x 59. (See feature 4.3.)
A.5Number of letters: 42 = 2 x 3 x 7. (See feature 2.1.)
B.3.2Every other word (even positions): 1118 = 2 x 13 x 43. (See feature 1.2.)
B.4Every other letter (odd positions): 938 = 2 x 7 x 67. (See feature 2.2.)
B.4.2Every other letter (even positions): 1127 = 7 x 7 x 23. (See feature 2.5.)
C.3.2First and last letter of each word: 777 = 3 x 7 x 37. (See feature 3.3.)
D.3.3First letter of each word: 140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7. (See feature 3.1.)
E.3.3Last letter of each word: 637 = 7 x 7 x 13. (See feature 3.2.)
F.4First half of the letters: 1222 = 2 x 13 x 47. (See feature 2.1.)
The Words
1.1The words break down perfectly into two opposite groups. The first five words all have odd valued sums. The last five words all have even valued sums. Neither half is divisible by 7 or 13, but the principle of first and last set by Revelation 1:8 and 22:13 appear immediately.
1.2There is no feature of 7 in the odd (or even) positioned words, but God’s name (13) does appear.
Odd positioned words: 1 3 5 7 9 263 31 401 102 150 = 947. Even positioned words: 2 4 6 8 10 115 391 26 126 460 = 1118 = 2 x 13 x 43.
Israel was not perfect, but throughout history there were times when they did follow God as best they could. Thus the odd positioned words show nothing, but the even positioned words do. There is also another reason why the even positioned words have a result. There are ten words. Two is a factor of ten, a part of the whole. (See also the next feature.)
1.3Since there are ten words, five is integral to the structure of the sentence (a factor of 10).
Every fifth word: 5 10 401 460
Word total: 861 = 3 x 7 x 41.
1.3.1The ten words are placed in a 5 x 2 rectangle.
263 115 31 391 401 1201 26 102 126 150 460 864 289 217 157 541 861
Seven totals are calculated from the rows and columns. Two of the totals (columns 2 and 5) are divisible by 7 (twice what the odds would indicate). Coincidentally, the sum of the column numbers is 7.
1.4.2The ten words are placed in a 2 x 5 rectangle.
263 115 378 31 391 422 401 26 427 102 126 228 150 460 610 947 1118
Once again two of the totals are divisible by 7 (rows 1 and 3).
1.4.3The ten words can be placed in a triangle.
263
115 31
391 401 26
102 126 150 460
The right edge; 263 31 26 460 = 780 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 13.
The left edge: 263 115 391 102 = 871 = 13 x 67.
The bottom edge: 102 126 150 460 = 838 = 2 x 419.
Two 13s is very appropriate since Joshua 24:24 is about Yhwh, and His name has the value 26.
1.5The word sums are used to count through the words:
a) Word sum b) Counting words c) Adjusted count d) Word found a) 263 115 31 391 401 26 102 126 150 460 b) 263 118 39 400 411 27 109 135 155 465 c) 3 8 9 10 1 7 9 5 5 5 d) 31 126 150 460 263 102 150 401 401 401
Word total: 2485 = 5 x 7 x 71.
The Letters
2.What appeared with the words in 1.1 appears also in the letters.
2.1The number of letters: 42 = 2 x 3 x 7.
First half of the letters: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 6 10 1 40 200 6 5 70 40 1 30 10 5 6 300 70 1 400 10 5 6 Letter total: 1222 = 2 x 13 x 47. Last half of the letters: 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 5 1 30 5 10 50 6 50 70 2 4 6 2 100 6 30 6 50 300 40 70 Letter total: 843 = 3 x 281.
Israel was close to God when they answered Joshua (the first half). Unfortunately this did not last (the last half).
2.2Odd positioned letters (Exodus feature 2.1):
a) 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 b) 6 1 200 5 40 30 5 300 1 10 6 1 5 50 50 2 6 100 a) 37 39 41 b) 30 50 40
938 = 2 x 7 x 67 (SF: 76 = 2 x 2 x 19 SF: 23). The number 23 relates to the number of chromosome pairs in a human being. This is very appropriate, since Joshua 24:24 is Israel's response.
2.3Odd positioned letters applied directly to letters (Exodus 2.1.1).
a) 6 1 200 5 40 30 5 300 1 10 6 1 5 50 50 2 6 100 30 50 40 b) 6 6 4 200 300 70 200 6 6 1 6 6 200 70 70 10 6 70 70 70 300
Total: 1677 = 3 x 13 x 43 (And like the Exodus 34:6-7, the even positioned letters do not yield any feature when they are used as positions.)
2.4.1Odd positioned letters applied directly to words (Exodus 2.1.1).
a) 6 1 200 5 40 30 5 300 1 10 6 1 5 50 50 2 6 b) 26 263 460 401 460 460 401 460 263 460 26 263 401 460 460 115 26 a) 100 30 50 40 b) 460 460 460 460
Total: 7245 = 3 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 23
2.4.2Odd positioned letters used to count through the words.
a) 6 7 207 12 42 32 7 307 8 18 14 5 10 60 60 12 8 b) 6 7 7 2 2 2 7 7 8 8 4 5 10 10 10 2 8 c) 26 102 102 115 115 115 102 102 126 126 391 401 460 460 460 115 126 a) 108 38 58 48 b) 8 8 8 8 c) 126 126 126 126
Total: 3948 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 47
2.5Even positioned letters (Exodus 2.2):
a) Positions: 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 b) Letters: 10 40 6 70 1 10 6 70 400 5 5 30 10 6 70 a) 32 34 36 38 40 42 b) 4 2 6 6 300 70
Sum of pulled letters: 1127 = 7 x 7 x 23 (# of man). (And just like Exodus, the even positioned letters in Joshua do not produce a feature when reapplied here.)
2.6.1In Exodus 2.3 the second letter of each word produced a feature. In Joshua it does not. But there is a similar feature: the second last letter of each word.
200 70 1 300 1 6 50 2 30 40
Total: 700 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 7. SF: 21 = 3 x 7.
2.6.2With a slight adjustment, the letters in 2.6.1 can be used again to find other letters. (Joshua is not talking about God, but about people. And people obeying God always need help. Hence the adjustment.) Two letters are dropped from the list because they are the first letters of their words and belong to a different feature.
Second last letter: 200 70 300 6 50 2 30 40 Count: 200 102 318 30 80 40 70 68 Adjusted position: 32 18 24 30 38 40 28 26 Letter found: 4 400 30 70 6 300 6 10
Total: 826 = 2 x 7 x 59.
2.7Letters Aleph and Tav only meet in the 5th word (Exodus 3.1), in letter positions 17 and 18. 17 + 18 = 35 (7 x 5). These two letters appear in the following words: 1 3 5 7 5. The total: 21 = 3 x 7.
2.7.1Aleph and Tav are not the first and last letters of the verse. The first letter is 6, and the last letter is 70 (Exodus 4.1). Letter 6 appears in positions: 1 6 14 21 28 33 36 38 (sum of the positions is 177). Letter 70 appears in positions: 8 16 30 16 (sum of the positions is 70). Together: 177 + 70 = 247 (13 x 19).
2.7.2Words containing the letters 6 and or 70 (Exodus 4.2):
Word position: 1 2 4 6 7 8 9 10 Word sum: 263 115 391 26 102 126 150 460 = 1633 = 23 x 71.
Unlike Exodus 4.2 the results are not divisible by 7 or 13. Here in Joshua there is something else: 23. Twenty-three represents humanity through the chromosomal pairs. Joshua 24:24 is about people responding to God.
2.7.3Letters 6 and 70 taken together would be 76 (Exodus 4.5.1). The first 76 letters of the verse (wrapping around): 3528 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7.
2.7.4The remaining letters from 76 to 84 (the end of the verse, Exodus 4.5.1.1): 602 = 2 x 7 x 43.
4Joshua 24:24 has no exact equivalent feature to Exodus 6.1 and 6.2, but there is one that is similar. Joshua has ten words. There is no single middle word, so the fifth and sixth words could both be considered the middle of the verse in terms of words. Everything from the first to the fourth words is the beginning because it doesn't pass the halfway point. Everything from the seventh word to the end is the ending for the same reason.
The beginning words: 263 115 31 391 The ending words: 102 126 150 460
Separately these two groups have no feature, but they do together: 263 115 31 391 102 126 150 460 = 1638 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 13. SF: 28 = 2 x 2 x 7. Not only is the result divisible by 7, but also by 13.
3.1The the first letter of each word:
a) 1 7 10 12 17 19 23 29 33 39 b) 1 7 10 12 17 19 23 29 33 39 c) 6 5 1 10 1 10 1 50 6 50
Letter total: 140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7.
3.1.1The positions of the first letter of each word can be used in two other different ways. They can be used as word positions:
a) 1 7 10 12 17 19 23 29 33 39 b) 1 7 10 2 7 9 3 9 3 9 c) 263 102 460 115 102 150 31 150 31 150
Word total: 1554 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 37. SF: 49 = 7 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.
3.1.2They can be used to count through the letters:
a) 1 7 10 12 17 19 23 29 33 39 b) 1 8 18 30 47 24 47 34 67 64 c) 1 8 18 30 5 24 5 34 25 22 d) 6 70 400 70 200 30 200 2 5 5
Letter total: 988 = 2 x 2 x 13 x 19.
3.2The last letter of each word:
a) 6 9 11 16 18 22 28 32 38 42 b) 6 40 30 70 400 5 6 4 6 70
Letter total: 637 = 7 x 7 x 13.
3.2.2Use the last letter of each word to count through words.
Last letter: 6 40 30 70 400 5 6 4 6 70 Count: 6 46 36 76 406 11 7 11 7 77 Word position: 6 6 6 6 6 1 7 1 7 7 Word found: 26 26 26 26 26 263 102 263 102 102
Total: 962 = 2 x 13 x 37. (This does not work for the first letters of each word.)
In features 3.1 and 3.2, the letters were used a) as word positions, b) to count words, c) as letter positions, and d) to count letters. In feature 3.1 everything succeeded except b) counting words. In feature 3.2 everything failed except b) counting words. It's as if the two (first and last) were meant to fit together. Quite a coincidence.
3.3The first and last letters of each word: 777 = 3 x 7 x 37.
3.3.3Positions of the first letter of each word (A), added to the positions of the last letter of each word (B), with the resulting sum (C) reduced back into a new letter position (D), finds a new list of letters (E):
A: 1 7 10 12 17 19 23 29 33 39 B: 6 9 11 16 18 22 28 32 38 42 C: 7 16 21 28 35 41 51 61 71 81 D: 7 16 21 28 35 41 9 19 29 39 E: 5 70 6 6 100 40 40 10 50 50 = 377 = 13 x 29
3.3.4The resulting sum (line C in feature 3.3.3) converted to a word position:
C: 7 16 21 28 35 41 51 61 71 81 D: 7 6 1 8 5 1 1 1 1 1 E: 102 26 263 126 401 263 263 263 263 263 = 2233 = 7 x 11 x 29
3.4Add up the pairs of first and last letters.
a) First letter of each word b) Last letter of each word c) a + b a) 6 5 1 10 1 10 1 50 6 50 b) 6 40 30 70 400 5 6 4 6 70 c) 12 45 31 80 401 15 7 54 12 120
3.4.1Line c
is used as letter positions.
a) Line C from above b) As letter position c) Letter found a) 12 45 31 80 401 15 7 54 12 120 b) 12 3 31 38 23 15 7 12 12 36 c) 10 1 2 6 1 300 5 10 10 6
Letter total: 351 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 13.
3.4.2Line c
is used to count letters.
a) Line C from above b) Counting letters c) Adjusted count d) Letter found a) 12 45 31 80 401 15 7 54 12 120 b) 12 57 46 84 443 38 45 57 27 147 c) 12 15 4 42 23 38 3 15 27 21 d) 10 300 40 70 1 6 1 300 50 6
Letter total: 784 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 7.
4.1Here we diverge from following the features in Exodus. The sum of the odd positioned letters was 938. Factor this and include the factor "1".
938 = 1 x 2 x 7 x 67 sum factors 84 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 sum factors again 15 = 1 x 3 x 5 and again 9 = 1 x 3 x 3 and again 7 = 1 x 7
This forms the pattern: 938 1 2 7 67 84 1 2 2 3 7 15 1 3 5 9 1 3 3 7 1 7. Using this pattern to count through letters.
938 1 2 7 67 84 1 2 2 3 7 15 1 3 5 938 939 941 948 1015 1099 1100 1102 1104 1107 1114 1129 1130 1133 1138 14 15 17 24 7 7 8 10 12 15 22 37 38 41 4 6 300 1 30 5 5 70 1 10 300 5 30 6 40 40 9 1 3 3 7 1 7 1147 1148 1151 1154 1161 1162 1169 Total: 1022 = 2 x 7 x 73 13 14 17 20 27 28 35 5 6 1 5 50 6 100
4.2Sum of the even positioned letters was 1127. Factor this and include the factor "1." (Exodus 7.1)
1127 = 1 x 7 x 7 x 23 38 = 1 x 2 x 19 22 = 1 x 2 x 11 14 = 1 x 2 x 7 10 = 1 x 2 x 5 8 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 7
This produces the pattern: 1127 1 7 7 23 38 1 2 19 22 1 2 11 14 1 2 7 10 1 2 5 8 1 2 2 2 7. Applying the pattern directly to the words:
1127 1 7 7 23 38 1 2 19 22 1 2 11 14 1 2 7 102 263 102 102 31 126 263 115 150 115 263 115 263 391 263 115 102 10 1 2 5 8 1 2 2 2 7 460 263 115 401 126 263 115 115 115 102
Total: 4956 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 59.
4.3The sum of Joshua 24:24 is 2065 (Exodus 8.2). Factoring 2065 and including the factor "1." Produces a similar feature.
2065 = 1 x 5 x 7 x 59 72 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 13 = 1 x 13 14 = 1 x 2 x 7 10 = 1 x 2 x 5 8 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 7
This produces the pattern: 2065 1 5 7 59 72 1 2 2 2 3 3 13 1 13 14 1 2 7 10 1 2 5 8 1 2 2 2 7. It can be used to count through the words.
a) 2065 1 5 7 59 72 1 2 2 2 3 b) 2065 2066 2071 2078 2137 2209 2210 2212 2214 2216 2219 c) 5 6 1 8 7 9 10 2 4 6 9 d) 401 26 263 126 102 150 460 115 391 26 150 a) 3 13 1 13 14 1 2 7 10 1 2 b) 2222 2235 2236 2249 2263 2264 2266 2273 2283 2284 2286 c) 2 5 6 9 3 4 6 3 3 4 6 d) 115 401 26 150 31 391 26 31 31 391 26 a) 5 8 1 2 2 2 7 b) 2291 2299 2300 2302 2304 2306 2313 c) 1 9 10 2 4 6 3 d) 263 150 460 115 391 26 31
Total: 5265 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 13.
4.4Sum of the first letter of each word in Joshua 24:24 is 140 (Exodus 7D).
The factor chain with "1" 140 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 17 = 1 x 17 18 = 1 x 2 x 3 x 3 9 = 1 x 3 x 3 7 The pattern: 140 1 2 2 5 7 17 1 17 18 1 2 3 3 9 1 3 3 7
Applying the pattern directly to words.
140 1 2 2 5 7 17 1 17 18 1 2 3 3 9 1 3 3 7 460 263 115 115 401 102 102 263 102 126 263 115 31 31 150 263 31 31 102
Total: 3066 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 73
5In the previous features we looked at the first letter of each word, and the last letter of each word. Each could be applied back into the passage to find more features.

Letter total: 1554 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 37. SF: 49 = 7 x 7. SF: 14 = 2 x 7.
5.2This feature is similar to the ones before it, but it has no equivalent in Exodus 34:6-7.
The letters that are not first or last in Joshua 24:24 have a total of 1288 (2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 23).
The factor chain with "1" 1288 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 23 37 = 1 x 37 38 = 1 x 2 x 19 22 = 1 x 2 x 11 14 = 1 x 2 x 7 10 = 1 x 2 x 5 8 = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 7
This produces the pattern: 1288 1 2 2 2 7 23 37 1 37 38 1 2 19 22 1 2 11 14 1 2 7 10 1 2 5 8 1 2 2 2 7. We can count through the letters of Joshua 24:24 with this pattern.
a) 1288 1 2 2 2 7 23 37 1 37 38 b) 1288 1289 1291 1293 1295 1302 1325 1362 1363 1400 1438 c) 28 29 31 33 35 42 23 18 19 14 10 d) 6 50 2 6 100 70 1 400 10 6 1 a) 1 2 19 22 1 2 11 14 1 2 7 b) 1439 1441 1460 1482 1483 1485 1496 1510 1511 1513 1520 c) 11 13 32 12 13 15 26 40 41 1 8 d) 30 5 4 10 5 300 10 300 40 6 70 a) 10 1 2 5 8 1 2 2 2 7 b) 1530 1531 1533 1538 1546 1547 1549 1551 1553 1560 c) 18 19 21 26 34 35 37 39 41 6 d) 400 10 6 10 2 100 30 50 40 6
Total: 2086 = 2 x 7 x 149.
6.The first and last letters of the first word of Joshua 24:24 are 6, and 6. Only one other word in the verse has two letter 6s. The first and last letters of the last word of the verse are 50 and 70. Again only one other word in the verse has these two letters together. The results are not the same as in Exodus. They point towards us because it is our response to God. (Exodus 14)
Associated word First word: 1 9 Word sum: 263 150 Last word: 10 8 460 126
The sum of the word positions: 28 (2 x 2 x 7), and the sum of the words: 999 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 37 SF: 46. Forty-six is the number of chromosomes in a human being.
7.1There are only nine odd valued letters in Joshua 24:24 (Exodus 25). Their positions are divisible by 7.
a) position b) letter value a) 3 7 10 13 17 20 22 23 25 = 140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 b) 1 5 1 5 1 5 5 1 5 = 29
7.2The sum of all the positions in the passage is 903. Thus the sum of the positions of all the even valued letters would be: 903 - 140 = 763 (7 x 109).
8.The Hebrew letters for the phrase The Ancient Of Days
are 70 400 10 100 10 6 40 10 1 (Exodus 26).
8.1Search through Joshua 24:24 for each of these letters, and as they occur, record the letter position:
a) letter b) position a) 70 400 10 100 10 6 40 10 1 b) 8 18 19 35 2 6 9 12 17
The sum of the positions: 126 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 SF: 14 = 2 x 7
8.2Frequency of these letters in Joshua:
a) letter b) frequency a) 70 400 10 100 10 6 40 10 1 b) 4 1 4 1 2 8 2 2 4
The sum of line b): 28 = 2 x 2 x 7 SF: 11 (NB in Exodus 34:6b-7, each letter from the phrase Ancient Of Days
is taken only once. Here the letter 10 is taken three times.)
9.TDN in Joshua 24:24 is not enclosed by the letter 1
on either side as it was in Exodus 34:6-7 (Exodus 120). The first letter 1
before TDN is two letters away. Nevertheless, there is a feature.
a) letter position b) letter value a) 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 b) 1 400 10 5 6 5 1
9.1There are 7 letters in this sequence.
9.2The sum of the positions is 140 (2 x 2 x 5 x 7).
9.3The sum of the letters is 428 (2 x 2 x 107). It is not divisible by 7, or 13, but the sum of its factors is 111. 111 represents the one God beginning and end, and also the one God in the present. The sum of the factors of 111 (3 x 37) is 40 (2 x 2 x 2 x 5 SF: 11), and as can be seen, the factor chain ends at 11 (one God first and last) again.
10.1If the verse was arranged alphabetically, the third word would be listed first, and the tenth word would be last. The sum of their original word positions: 3 + 10 = 13 (Exodus 34).
a) Original word position b) word sum c) letter positions d) letter value a) 3 10 b) 31 460 c) 10 11 39 40 41 42 d) 1 30 50 300 40 70
10.2The reverse also works. In this case, alphabetization begins with the last letter of each word, and the greatest value is listed first.
a) 5 8 b) 401 126 c) 17 18 29 30 31 32 d) 1 400 50 70 2 4
The sum of the original word positions: 5 + 8 = 13.
10.3The sum of all four words: 1018 = 2 x 509. This appears to have no features, but its chain of factors ends at 13. SF: 511 = 7 x 73 SF: 80 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 SF: 13
10.4The sum of the letter positions is 340 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 17. And again this appears to have no features, until we examine the sum of the factors: 26.
10.5The first and last letters of these four words: 606 = 2 x 3 x 101 SF: 106 = 2 x 53 SF: 55 = 5 x 11.
One could say that obedience to God does not always appear to bear immediate fruit. The results are sometimes hidden.
11.In Exodus, the very structure of the verse contained numeric features. Joshua 24:24 has the same, but in a different way.
Letter Position in passage Position sums 1: 3 10 17 23 = 53 2: 31 34 = 65 (13 x 5) 3: 4: 32 = 32 5: 7 13 20 22 25 = 87 6: 1 6 14 21 28 33 36 38 = 177 7: 8: 9: 10: 2 12 19 26 = 59 20: 30: 11 24 37 = 72 40: 4 9 41 = 54 50: 27 29 39 = 95 60: 70: 8 16 30 42 = 96 80: 90: 100: 35 = 35 (7 x 5) 200: 5 = 5 300: 15 40 = 55 400: 18 = 18
The sum of the various positions can be applied back into the verse. (Where the sum is greater than the number of letters in the verse, the search wraps around to the beginning.)
The list of position sums (A): 53 65 32 87 177 59 72 54 95 96 35 5 55 18 List A in reverse (B): 18 55 5 35 96 95 54 72 59 177 87 32 65 53 List A in numerical order (C): 5 18 32 35 53 54 55 59 65 72 87 95 96 177 List A in reverse numerical order (D): 177 96 95 87 72 65 59 55 54 53 35 32 18 5
(By aggregating the positions of each letter, the chart no longer has any order
in relation to the verse. But in order to apply the data back into the verse, it has to be arranged in some form. The order of the letters, and the numerical order of appearances are just two possibilities.)

Letter total: 728 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 13. SF: 26 = 2 x 13.
List B
and List D
both fail to find any features. These are lists A & C
in reverse. Why should going backwards
on the response to God in Joshua 24:24 yield features?
Applying Exodus 34:6-7 to Joshua 24:24
12.1.1Use the word sums of the proclamation (Exodus 34:6-7) to count through the words of Joshua.
a) Exodus word sum b) Count c) Adjusted count (wrapping around) d) Word found in Joshua a) 317 26 26 31 254 120 221 131 208 72 447 340 72 191 351 b) 317 33 29 40 264 124 225 136 214 76 453 343 75 196 357 c) 7 3 9 10 4 4 5 6 4 6 3 3 5 6 7 d) 102 31 150 460 391 391 401 26 391 26 31 31 401 26 102 a) 126 456 29 161 31 165 184 126 409 100 102 106 62 102 b) 133 459 38 169 40 175 189 135 414 104 106 112 64 106 c) 3 9 8 9 10 5 9 5 4 4 6 2 4 6 d) 31 150 126 150 460 401 150 401 391 391 26 115 391 26 a) 100 680 106 322 b) 106 686 112 324 c) 6 6 2 4 d) 26 26 115 391
Total: 6727 = 7 x 31 x 31. (Coincidentally, 31 is also the numeric sum of the Hebrew word for God, El.
)
The sum of the factors is 69 (3 x 23) the number of man. This parallels what was just done with the numbers by using the proclamation (about God) to count through Israel's response.
12.1.2Use the same sums to count through the letters of Joshua.
a) Exodus word sum b) Count c) Adjusted letter count (wrapping around) d) Letter found in Joshua a) 317 26 26 31 254 120 221 131 208 72 447 340 72 191 b) 317 49 33 64 276 144 239 160 242 104 467 345 81 230 c) 23 7 33 22 24 18 29 34 32 20 5 9 39 20 d) 1 5 6 5 30 400 50 2 4 5 200 40 50 5 a) 351 126 456 29 161 31 165 184 126 409 100 102 106 62 b) 371 161 491 58 177 40 205 221 137 420 142 118 140 76 c) 35 35 29 16 9 40 37 11 11 42 16 34 14 34 d) 100 100 50 70 40 300 30 30 30 70 70 2 6 2 a) 102 100 680 106 322 b) 136 110 706 140 336 c) 10 26 34 14 42 d) 1 10 2 6 70
Total: 1792 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7. SF: 23 (again the number of man).
12.1.3We combine the positions of the first and last letters of each word in Exodus and apply the result to Joshua 24:24.
a) Position of the first letter of a word in Exodus 34:6-7. b) Position of the last letter of a word. c) A + B. a) 1 6 10 14 16 20 25 28 32 35 38 42 45 48 54 57 60 b) 5 9 13 15 19 24 27 31 34 37 41 44 47 53 56 59 63 c) 6 15 23 29 35 44 52 59 66 72 79 86 92 101 110 116 123 a) 64 69 73 75 79 82 85 89 91 95 98 101 105 107 112 115 b) 68 72 74 78 81 84 88 90 94 97 100 104 106 111 114 119 c) 132 141 147 153 160 166 173 179 185 192 198 205 211 218 226 234

Letter total: 1331 = 11 x 11 x 11. There are no factors of 7 or 13, just the number 11 three times. This is reminiscent of Revelation 1:8 (and 22:13), where the same God (1) is Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End, First and Last, or Is, Was, and Is To Come. Again the lack of 7 or 13 indicate Israel's response is not perfect.

Why do the letters work but not the positions? Because the positions carry no meaning. It is the letters that form words and convey meaning. In responding to God everyone has to start somewhere, hence a beginning. And as stated in Ezekiel 18:21-24, it is the end result which is important, hence an ending. Both must be there for our response to God to be acceptable. This is borne out in this feature, where the first and last letters must be applied together.
12.1.5The letters that are not first or last in Exodus 34:6-7 can also be applied to Joshua 24:24 in two ways.
12.1.5.1The positions of these letters within their own words can be used to count through Joshua. (The positions of these letters within the passage when applied to Joshua yield no features.)

Total: 3535 = 5 x 7 x 101. (The letters used (not first or last) contrasts with the factor 101 which numerically shows God first and last.)
Interestingly, applying all the letters of Exodus 34:6-7 to Joshua 24:24 fails to find any feature, whether directly as word (or letter) position or to count words (or letters). Even the first letter of each word and the last letter of each word from Exodus individually do not produce anything. (Nor do their positions.) If all the letters in the proclamation produced features, it would imply Israel's response in Joshua 24:24 was perfect. (And we know humans are all too imperfect.) To prevent this erroneous assumption, the numbers Numerics Gematria indicate our response to God cannot be perfect all the time.

A total of sixteen sets of numbers were applied find features in Joshua. Each set was run in four different ways, as word positions, counting words, as letter positions and counting letters for a total of sixty-four attempts. Random chance would have predicted only nine or ten successes (64/7). Instead, nineteen features of 7 were found, almost twice what the odds would suggest.
Joshua 24:24 & Exodus 34:6b-7 Together
Placing Exodus 34:6b-7 and Joshua 24:24 together we find,
Exodus 6174 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 7 Joshua 2065 = 5 x 7 x 59
Neither verse individually has a factor of 11, but when they are combined together they do. The sum total of the two verses is 8239 (7 x 11 x 107). The factor of 11 points back to the one God beginning and end. It’s almost as if the numbers Numerics Gematria are assuring us that these two verses go together.
8239 could also be factored as 7 x 1177. These factors could almost be read as Perfection [7] multiplied by the one God who is first and last [emphasized by 11] seventy-seven times.
14.1The odd positioned letters of the two verses:
Exodus 3388 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 11 x 11 Joshua 938 = 2 x 7 x 67
In this case, Exodus has a factor of 11, but Joshua does not. Combining the two verses also does not produce the factor of 11. But it shows up at the end of the factor chain.
3388 + 938 = 4326 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 103 SF: 115 = 5 x 23 SF: 28 = 2 x 2 x 7 SF: 11
14.2The even positioned letters of both verses:
Exodus 2786 = 199 x 7 x 2
Joshua 1127 = 7 x 7 x 23
+____
3913 = 7 x 13 x 43 SF: 63 = 3 x 3 x 7 SF: 13.
Neither Exodus or Joshua have a factor 13, but the combined totals of the even positioned letters produces a factor of 13. The factor chain also ends at a 13. This points to the Divine Name (YHWH).
14.3The first letter of each word from both verses:
Exodus 1330 = 2 x 5 x 7 x 19
SF: 33 = 3 x 11 SF: 14 = 2 x 7 SF: 9 = 3 x 3
SF: 6 = 2 x 3 SF: 5
Joshua 140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7
SF: 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 SF: 8 = 2 x 2 x 2 SF: 6 = 2 x 3
SF: 5
+____
1470 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 7
SF: 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 SF: 9 = 3 x 3 SF: 6 = 2 x 3
SF: 5
Combining the two verses produces an extra feature of 7. (Note how the factor chain for all three totals ends in 5.)
14.4The last letter of each word from both verses:
Exodus 1722 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 41 SF: 53
Joshua 637 = 7 x 7 x 13 SF: 27 = 3 x 3 x 3 SF: 9 = 3 x 3
SF: 6 = 2 x 3 SF: 5
+____
2359 = 7 x 337 SF: 344 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 43 SF: 49 = 7 x 7
SF: 14 = 2 x 7 SF: 9 = 3 x 3 SF: 6 = 2 x 3 SF: 5.
There are no extra features here, but Joshua still matches with the last letters of the words divisible by 7.
Conclusion
Exodus 34:6-7 (God’s declaration of Himself) and Joshua 24:24 (Israel's response to God) are related in meaning and numbers Numerics Gematria. Place Joshua right after Exodus, and the two verses read coherently as one. It makes religious sense, and literal sense. The techniques developed from Revelation 1:8 and 22:13 produce similar features of seven in Exodus 34:6-7 and Joshua 24:24. It is as if God’s unique signature has been stamped into Joshua 24:24. This cannot be coincidence. Israel's response was in line with God’s will, and a brief reflection of His glory. That is why the features are similar. That is why the same techniques work in both verses.
