I am not a historian or a linguist, but I have learned a few things from those fields. I don't think the No. 1 comes from Hebrew. It is my understanding that the modern decimal number system was created in India. I can't reproduce them here on this comments section but the original numbers were based angles, a greater number angles represents a higher number.

@VictorLepanto The numbers we use are called Arabic numbers. Arabic, a Semitic alphabet, comes from the same source as Hebrew. Our numbers have nothing to do with India.

@ancienthebreworg: You really need to look up this matter. You might have learned your philology & archeology & such, but numbers are a different matter. The European scholars learned these numbers from the Arabs, thus they called them "Arabic." The Arabs took them from the Indians (along w/ purdy much everythin else) when they invaded that land. If the Hebrews were concrete, the Indians were their opposite. Numbers are abstract, like Hindu philosophy.

@VictorLepanto Can you give me your source for the Arabs getting their numbers from the Indians? Numbers are concrete, except for the number 0.

@ancienthebreworg: My original source is my high school pre-algebra teacher, Mr. Fry. I doubt if you'll be able to reference him. I am not certain if he is even alive anymore. He drew them for us, & I've seen them elsewhere. They're based on angles. A set of intersecting lines w/ 1 joining angle is the #1. 3 lines w/ two joints attaching them all is 2. 4 lines w/ 3 common angles is 3, etc. A circle, b/c it has no angles, is 0. Zero gets us into Hindu philosophy, everything is an illusion.

@VictorLepanto Now that you mention that, I think I might have heard same thing many years ago, however, that is purely speculation. If you examine all nine numbers, you will find that they are almost identical with the first nine letters of the paleo-Hebrew alphabet. In my current series, The Ancient Hebrew alphabet, I go into this, but currently I am only up to gimel - 3.

2) Another fun example is the word for "pregnancy" in Hebrew, which is "herayion." It's spelled hei (5), resh (200), yod (10), vav (6), nun (sofit) (50 or 700). If we take nun as 50, the sum for the term for pregnancy, 271, is the actual approximate number of days of the human gestation period!

Again, thanks for sharing with us, and keep posting these great videos as you find the time and inspiration!

Fascinating videos, truly thought provoking! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us!~

I'm sure you know that the "definitions can also be found" in the numerical values found between the interplay of related words or concepts. For example, father is aleph (1), vet (2), which sum to 3, and mother is aleph, mem (40), sum 41. Together mother and father make sons (for instance), and "yeled" or boy, has the value of 44...

@ancienthebreworg: Well, I don't know much about Sanskrit script. Maybe it has some connection to the developement of the Semitic script. I've always thought the Sanskrit script developed independently. The ancient phonetic script spread w/ trade so perhaps ancient traders did make connections w/ India. It is supposed that Jews are known to have resided in India going back to the days of King Solomon. The Jews Kerala became the base for the later Kerala Christian Church.
