This pattern narrows the focus from the entire verse to its opening three words. It tests whether the same numerical structure appears in a smaller part of the sentence.
Count the letters in the first three Hebrew words of Genesis 1:1. The pattern is satisfied if their total is divisible by 7.
The first three Hebrew words contain 14 letters, so this pattern passes.
This pattern is one part of the larger theory and should be evaluated together with the full set of patterns, rules, and control tests.
The following tables provide the supporting data for this pattern. The highlighted values identify the three word lengths used in this calculation.
