about the hebrew. (by the way, if there are any jewish people in this conversation, please help me out)

a word in hebrew can be equated to a picture, it's worth a 1000 images or ideas. anything related to that word could apply, (that's why we have masoteric texts)

here is an example I'm going to list the different meanings and ideas to a certain word in English and in Hebrew. the word is sword

English [list=1][*]a weapon (as a cutlass or a rapier) with a long blade used for cutting or thrusting often used as a symbol of authority.[/list=1]

Hebrew [list=1][*]a weapon[*]authority[*]a king[*]a battle[*]bloodshed[*]war[*]a merciless warrior[*]violence[*]etc, etc, etc.[/list=1]

if that is not enough, the hebrew people aplied a certain numerical value to each letter. Thus words were equated with numbers. words that had the same numerical value were believed to be interconected somehow.
