So even if the code is more than a fortuitous find, without a posteriori confirmation its significance is hollow. If codes are there in the Torah, then they are there now. If the method the author proposes is an objective, reliable one it should not be limited to the past. You cannot limit the scope of the Hebrew code hypothesis on the basis of time, place, technical difficulties like computers or even theological sensitivities. To illustrate further, take the matter of gravity.
Gravity exists in the system of nature.
The English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton put forward the law in 1687. Logically someone else could just as easily have discovered it, unless of course gravity did not exist. In such a case we could not logically find it out. Newton discovered gravity while residing in England, but it could just as easily have been discovered by someone living in Timbuktu. So it is with the Bible s apparent codes.
