Cords of a Man
“I taught Ephraim also to go along (walk), taking them by their arms,
but they knew not that I healed them.
I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love:
and was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws,
and I laid meat unto them.”
Hosea 11:3 & 4
And how endearing is the ESV translation of that last line. . .
“I knelt down and I fed them”.
The Hebrew word for “cords” (חבל) “chebel” [H2256] is often translated
as “sorrows” or “pains of travail”.
"As when a woman with child, in the ninth month,
bringeth forth her son, within two or three hours of her birth,
great pains compass her womb,
which pains, when the child cometh forth, they slack not a moment,
even so shall not the plagues be slack to come upon the earth, and the world
shall mourn, and sorrows shall come upon it on every side."
2 Esdras 16: 38-39

It’s interesting that 430 is the number of years between the time
the promise was given to Abraham and the Law given to Moses.
430 is the standard value of both “law” and “number” in the Greek:
Law (νομος)
Number (αριθμος)
“But now the Righteousness of God without the Law is manifested,
being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets;
Even the Righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption
that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation
through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for
the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God. . .”
It is well established that our Lord was crucified in 31 AD at the age of 33 1/2.
We are told in Luke 2:46-47 that at the age of 12, the child Jesus
was found “sitting in the midst of the doctors [teachers] both
hearing them, and asking them questions [teaching].
And all that heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.”
The 12th letter of the “Alephbet” (Hebrew Alphabet) is ל (lamed)

as commonly used by a shepherd or even a king.

evident a little latter in this thread.
The word “lamed” (למּד) [H3928] has a standard value of 74
The root word of “lamad” [H3925] means: to teach, learn, point, prick or goad
In the English language, the name “Jesus” has an ordinal value of 74

"Now when they heard this (that they had crucified the King of Glory),

and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles,
Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
Jesus was about thirty “when He began to teach”.
The word translated “doctors” in Luke 2:46 is G1320

a total of 40 times, and “Teacher” 10 times in the KJV.
The word “cords” from Hosea 11:4 has a standard value of 40.
Jesus would have been 12 years old in 10 AD!
Knowing that he began to teach in 28 AD at the age of 30,
we can then reason that He would have been
crucified in 31 AD at the age of 33
33 - 12 = 21
21 is the standard value of “I AM” (אהיה)
12 is the mirror image of 21

Mark 13:30
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away,

What does the Word of God consider a “generation” to be?
"The days of our years (a generation) are threescore years and ten (70);
and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years (80),
yet is their strength labour and sorrow;
for it is soon cut off, and we fly away."
Psalm 90:10
Jerusalem became a home again for Israel in 1948.

(17 is the number of verses the phrase “Jesus of Nazareth” is found in)
Joseph had a dream that his sheaf stood taller than
the other sheaves, and all were making obeisance to him.
In his second dream, it is the Sun (his father), the Moon (his mother),
and 11 stars (brothers) that are making obeisance.
In verse 10, it is Jacob who interprets the dreams, saying:
“And he (Jospeh) told it to his father, and to his brethren:
and his father (Jacob) rebuked him, and said unto him,
What is this dream that thou hast dreamed?
Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to
bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?”
This is an obvious reference to the Zodiac Signs which were an integral
part of the Patriarchs understanding of the Gospel before
the written word (Torah) came into being.
On the fourth day of creation, God placed two great lights in the firmament:
the “greater” light to rule the day, and a “lesser” light to rule the night,
both of which give their light to the earth.
He also created the stars and set them in the sky “for signs,
and for seasons, and for days, and years”.
The Creator of all that is in the heavens and earth is known as “Elohim”.
