Seven curiosities on pi (π)

Posted on by PageMaster
  1. The keyboard shortcut for the letter pi is ALT-227.
    If you take these digits (227) and interpret them as the fraction 22/7, you will get the approximation for π (3.14285714286).
  2. In Hebrew, if you take the first letter of each word in Genesis 1:1 and sum them up and divide by the count of word you will get approximately the number pi.
    • ב = 2
    • ב = 2
    • א = 1
    • א = 1
    • ה = 5
    • ו = 6
    • ה = 5
    • Total is 2+2+1+1+5+6+5 = 22
    • There are 7 words in the verse
    • בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ׃
    • Then we divide 22/7 and we get 3.14285714286
  3. The first word in the New Testament (Matthew 1:1) is Βίβλος. In Greek Isopsephy it equals 314.
  1. In English ordinal (A=1; B=2…Z=26), if you take the words
    “Twenty two divided by seven” you will get the value of 314
    20 + 23 + 5 + 14 + 20 + 25 + 20 + 23 + 15 + 4 + 9 + 22 + 9 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 25 + 19 + 5 + 22 + 5 + 14 = 314
  1. The sum of the first letters of the first five books of the Bible (Torah) is 314.
    First five books of the Bible (בשובד = 2+300+6+2+4 equal 314)

Bereshit (בראשית – Genesis)
Shemot (שמות – Exodus)
Vayikra (ויקרא – Leviticus)
Bemidbar (במדבר – Numbers)
Devarim (דברים – Deuteronomy)

5. Pi (π) is the 16th Greek Letter. In Greek Isopsephy its value is 80. If you sum up all the digits of pi (π) starting from position 16 to position 80, the sum is 314.

6. Exodus 3:14 is the famous verse on the name of the LORD.
“”And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” (Exodus 3:14)
The phrase “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM” in English Ordinal equals 314

7. The phrase “Zero One Two Three Four Five” equals 314 in English Ordinal. If you look in the Pi-Search page https://www.angio.net/pi/ for the string 012345, it occurs at position 447855. If you perform the sum of digits (4+4+7+8+5+5=33) it corresponds to Christ’s earthly ministry (33 years).

  1. The Genesis 1:1 first-letter sum (2+2+1+1+5+6+5=22) divided by 7 words is a clean illustration, but it hinges on treating the 22 as a numerator and the word count as a denominator, which is a numerological move rather than a property of the text. The same 22/7 appears from the ALT-227 shortcut, so the two curiosities reinforce each other only if you already accept that coincidence as meaningful. For the Greek point, Βίβλος summing to 314 in isopsephy is checkable, but the English ordinal value of ‘Twenty two divided by seven’ depends on spelling conventions and whether spaces or hyphens are ignored. Does the article specify which ordinal convention it uses for the English examples, and whether the Hebrew letter values follow standard gematria or a variant?

    1. The English Ordinal convention is as follows:
      a=1 b=2 c=3 d=4 e=5 f=6 g=7 h=8 i=9 j=10 k=11 l=12 m=13 n=14 o=15 p=16 q=17 r=18 s=19 t=20 u=21 v=22 w=23 x=24 y=25 z=26
      For Hebrew this is the standard convention that I use

      א=1 ב=2 ג=3 ד=4 ה=5 ו=6 ז=7 ח=8 ט=9 י=10 כ=20 ל=30 מ=40 נ=50 ס=60 ע=70 פ=80 צ=90 ק=100 ר=200 ש=300 ת=400
