66. Revelation I. The number of books in. the Bible, 66, elevens (Feature 1), of which the anonymous books are 22 in number, or 2 elevens, and the non-anonymous books are 44, or 4 elevens (Feature 2). And of these 44 books, 22, or 2 elevens belong to writers of more than one book; and 22, or 2 elevens, to writers of only 1 book (Feature 3). In the above list of sixty-six books, the numbers 1-66 are set against them so that each book of the Bible has thus its number. Now the sum of the 66 numbers is 2211, or 201 elevens, and this number is divided thus: The 22 books of the authors of more than one book have 946, or 86 elevens. The other 44 books have 1265, or 115 elevens (Feature 4). Of the 66 Books of the Bible, 21 are Epistles. Their numbers are (from James to Philemon) 45-65. Now the sum 2211 for the 66 books is thus divided between Epistles and non-Epistles: The Epistles have 1155 or 105 elev ens, and the non-Epistles have 1056, or 96 elevens (Fea ture 5). Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Joel, and Daniel are expressly quoted in the New Testament writers. The numbers of their books are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 15, 16, 27, 35. Their sum is 132, or 12 elevens (Fea ture 6). . T h e N umerical V alues Neither the Hebrew language nor the Greek has signs for numbers corresponding to our Arabic figures.- The letters of their alphabets are used instead. Each He brew and Greek word is thus an arithmetical sum of the numeric values of its letters. Accordingly, the numeric values of the Bible authors (those to whom the books ascribe themselves) are as follows:
