Saturday is celebrated every seventh day a week, regardless of season and special events in Judaism, unlike various holidays and festivals that are always related to various events.
The seventh day is all light. It is there 52 times a year and yet every time we feel the light. Although on this day we do almost nothing. Inaction on Saturday has a taste of holiness, compared with weekdays inaction which is often tedious.
What is the source of strength of the Sabbath, if not all of the many laws involved to explain this.
It is possible to explain the intensity of the Sabbath through the wisdom of the numbers of the Golden Ratio, and find through that numbers series direct connection between the Sabbath to G-d.
As we know the number most associated with G-d except 1 is 13 - the most important prayer in Judaism is "Prayer Thirteen".
In Hebrew numerology the sum of the word 'love' is 13, which is half of 26 which is the sum of the letters of the word "G-d".
130 is the sum of letters of the word "Sinai".
Mount Sinai is where G-d gave the 10 Commandments which are 10 times 13.
Number 13 has many more important expressions of Judaism and is the most important number in it.
How to connect between it and the numeral 7 of Saturday?
How to connect between it and the numeral 7 of Saturday?
You can do this by using the series of numbers of the Golden Ratio, in which 13 is an organ.
The Golden Ratio is a set of numbers with special features. It appears in nature in a variety of phenomena, including the relationship within and between many organs in the human body. Religions of the ancient world, Egyptian and Greek mainly, used the Golden Ratio as a means to build temples and religious worship, and thus for controlling the masses.
The series is built on the principle that any organ number is added to the number that precedes it.
Add 1 to 1 and get 2.
Add 1 to 2 and get 3.
Add 2 to 3 and get 5.
Add 3 to 5 and get 8.
Add 5 to 8 and get 13.
Add 1 to 1 and get 2.
Add 1 to 2 and get 3.
Add 2 to 3 and get 5.
Add 3 to 5 and get 8.
Add 5 to 8 and get 13.
The series continues so on to infinity, but always maintain a constant ratio of 0.618... between two adjacent organs in the series, and this ratio is called the Golden Ratio.
If you count the number of operations performed in the series until you reach number 13 you find that the number of steps is 7. The number 13 is the 7th organ:
- 1
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 5
- 8
- 13
You can associate each day of the week with the number of its
Golden Ratio:
- Sunday = 1
- Monday = 1
- Tuesday = 2
- Wednesday = 3
- Thursday = 5
- Friday = 8
- Saturday = 13
Every day in the week is getting this way interesting original meaning.
By using the connection between the seventh day and number 13 the Jewish religion changed the Golden Ratio control of crowds by priests to internal essence of free man.
