NAMES OF GOD IN THE BIBLE: A DISPENSATIONAL APPROACH : PROF. M. M. NINAN A later application of notarikon consists of breaking up a word into various components. Through such methods of interpretation many words in the Bible became notarikonim. An example of such kabbalistic interpretation is the taking of the word “In the beginning” Another example is to interpret bereshit to mean Prologue, 3b). (See Encyclopaedia Judaica) ("created in six primordial days"; Zohar, Gen. The use of noṭariḳon in forming the names of God is equally important. Here the initial letters, or the middle letters, or the last letters of words are employed. Thus initial letters of the individual words in the sentence form , the middle letters , and the final letters . Another method is to take the alternate letters of the words in a sentence; for instance, the alternate letters of (Deut. xxix. 28) form the name (Moses Cordovero, "Pardes Rimmonim," gate xxx., ch. viii.). The best known of such combinations is the prayer of Neḥunya b. ha-Ḳanah beginning , the initials of which constitute the forty-two-lettered name of God and also the Sefer Reziel’s Seventy two 3 letter names of God using Ex. 14:19-21. 3. Temura, is a form of letter substitution. There are three simple forms of Temurah: Atbash: Replacing the first letter with the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, the second with the next-to-last, and so on. Table for אתבש ATBaSh If we apply this to English alphabet it will be like substituting etc. a=z, b=y, c=x, Thus (by At Bash): Yod Hey Vav Hey -> Mem Tsade Pey Tsade: Avgad: Replacing each letter with the preceding letter. If we apply this to English alphabet it will be like substituting a=b, b=c, c=d Albam: Replacing the first letter of the alphabet with the twelfth, the second with the thirteenth, and so on. 60
NAMES OF GOD IN THE BIBLE: A DISPENSATIONAL APPROACH : PROF. M. M. NINAN If we apply this to English alphabet it will be like substituting a=l, b=m, c=n, etc. The Hebrew Alphabet is divided into two halves of eleven letters each, the top half in its usual order (from Right to Left) and the lower reversed. Various arrangements form different combinations. In the case of ALBM the substitutions appears thus: An example of the table, that is called אלבת ALBaTh: Each letter of a Word is substituted for that above or below it in the other line, thus forming a different word or making a cipher system. 4. Gematria, is a numerological system where every letter is assigned a number. This gives a numerical value for a name, word, or phrase. Which are then related to other words of the same value. There are three basic methods of assigning numbers were used: Absolute, Ordinal and Reduced. chesed ("lovingkindness") chet, samech, dalet 8+60+4 = 72 7+2 = 9 For example Using this method, the supposed angel Metatron was thought to be particularly powerful because numerical value of this name is same as to that of Shaddai.
