Banyak contoh telah didokumentasi dipada masa lampau. Salah satu yang sering dikutip adalah dari [[Kitab Kejadian]], di mana dengan mengurutkan setiap huruf ke-50 mulai dari huruf [[taw (huruf Ibrani)|''taw'']] yang pertama (pada [[Kejadian 1:1]]), akan terbaca [[bahasa Ibrani|kata Ibrani]] yang bermakna "[[Taurat]]". Hal yang sama dapat ditemukan dalam [[Kitab Keluaran]] (setiap huruf ke-50 dari huruf [[taw (huruf Ibrani)|''taw'']] yang muncul pertama di kitab itu) is. Pada [[Kitab Bilangan]] dan [[Kitab Ulangan]] kata yang sama muncul dengan jarak huruf masing-masing 50 dan 49, tetapi dieja terbalik.
 
Komputer modern telah digunakan untuk meneliti pola-pola yang serupa maupun variasi yang lebih kompleks, serta telah dipublikasikan sebagai "teka-teki menantang" pada suatu jurnal ''peer-reviewed'' pada tahun 1994. Para pendukungnya menyatakan bahwa sangat tidak mungkin urutan-urutan semacam itu dapat muncul secara kebetulan, sedangkan para skeptik dan penentang menyatakan bahwa urutan-urutan tersebut seringkalisering kali muncul secara kebetulan, sebagaimana dapat ditunjukkan dalam teks berbahasa Ibrani maupun Inggris yang lain.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://unitedisrael.org/blog/2009/11/ | title=Bible Codes: Looking Back a Dozen Years | archiveurl= httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20100813085248/http://unitedisrael.org/blog/2009/11/ | archivedate= 2010-08-13 | access-date=2014-03-26 | dead-url=no }}</ref>
 
== UlasanSejarah ==
=== Asal mula ===
Diskusi dan kontroversi kontemporer sekitar suatu metode penemuan kode Alkitab muncul dan mulai menyebar pada tahun 1994 ketika [[Doron Witztum]], [[Eliyahu Rips]] dan [[Yoav Rosenberg]] mempublikasikan suatu makalah berjudul "Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis" ("Urutan-urutan huruf berjarak sama pada Kitab Kejadian") pada jurnal ilmiah ''[[Statistical Science]]''.<ref name="WRR">{{cite journal | author = Doron Witztum, Eliyahu Rips, Yoav Rosenberg | title = Equidistant letter sequences in the Book of Genesis | journal = Statistical Science | volume = 9 | year = 1994 | issue = 3 | pages = 429–438 | doi = 10.1214/ss/1177010393}}</ref> Makalah yang dipresentasikan oleh jurnal itu sebagai suatu "teka-teki yang menantang" ("''challenging puzzle''") menampilkan bukti [[stastistik]] kuat bahwa informasi riwayat hidup sejumlah [[rabbi]] Yahudi terkenal ternyata tersembunyi dalam teks [[Kitab Kejadian]], yang ditulis berabad-abad sebelum rabbi-rabbi tersebut hidup.<ref name="WRR"/>
Budaya Yahudi mempunyai tradisi panjang untuk penafsiran, anotasi dan komentari [[Alkitab Ibrani]], menghasilkan baik [[eksegesis]] dan [[eisegesis]] (menarik makna dari teks dan menerapkan makna pada teks). Kode Alkitab dapat dipandang sebagai suatu bagian dari tradisi ini, meskipun bersifat kontroversial. Sepanjang sejarah, banyak orang Yahudi, dan kemudian orang [[Kristen]], mencoba menemukan pesan-pesan tersembunyi dalam teks Alkitab, termasuk [[Isaac Newton]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Isaac Newton|url=http://jahtruth.net/newton.htm|publisher=JAH Publications}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Bible Code|url=http://www.paranormality.com/bible_code.shtml|publisher=paranormality.com}}</ref>
 
Seorang [[rabbi]] yang tinggal di [[Spanyol]] pada abad ke-13, [[Bachya ben Asher]], mungkin merupakan orang pertama yang menggambarkan ELS dalam Alkitab. Contohnya yang terdiri dari 4 huruf berkaitan dengan titik nol dari [[Kalender Ibrani]]. Berabad-abad kemudian, ada gejala bahwa teknik ELS sudah diketahui, tetapi hanya sedikit contoh definitif yang muncul sebelum pertengahan abad ke-20. Pada titik ini banyak contoh ditemukan dan dikumpulkan oleh rabbi yang tinggal di Slowakia, Rabbi [[Michael Ber Weissmandl]] dan dipublikasikan oleh murid-muridnya setelah ia meninggal pada tahun 1957. Namun, praktik ini terus dilakukan oleh sedikit orang sampai awal tahun 1980-an, ketika sejumlah penemuan seorang guru sekolah Israel, Avraham Oren, menarik perhatian ahli matematika [[Eliyahu Rips]] pada [[Hebrew University]] di Yerusalem. Rips kemudian mempelajarinya bersama partner studi agamanya [[Doron Witztum]] dan Alexander Rotenberg, serta yang lain.
Sejak itu istilah "Kode Alkitab" secara populer merujuk secara khusus untuk informasi yang didapatkan dari pemecahan kode menurut metode ELS ("'''''E'''quidistant '''L'''etter '''S'''equences''" = "Urutan-urutan huruf berjarak sama") tersebut.
<!--
Rips and Witztum designed computer software for the ELS technique and subsequently found many examples. About 1985, they decided to carry out a formal test, and the "Great rabbis experiment" was born. This experiment tested the hypothesis that ELS's of the names of famous rabbinic personalities and their respective birth and death dates form a more compact arrangement than could be explained by chance. Their definition of "compact" was complex but, roughly, two ELSs were compactly arranged if they can be displayed together in a small window. When Rips ''et al.'' carried out the experiment, the data was measured and found to be statistically significant, supporting their hypothesis.
Sejak makalah karya Witztum, Rips dan Rosenberg (WRR) dipublikasikan, muncul dua kelompok pemikiran mengenai kode-kode tersebut di antara para pendukungnya. paper was published, two conflicting schools of thought regarding the "codes" have emerged among proponents. The traditional (WRR) view of the codes is based strictly on their applicability to the Torah, and asserts that any attempt to study the codes outside of this context is invalid. This is based on a belief that the Torah is unique among biblical texts in that it was given directly to mankind (via [[Moses]]) in ''exact letter-by-letter sequence'' and in the original [[Hebrew language]].

=== Zaman modern ===
Diskusi dan kontroversi kontemporer sekitar suatu metode penemuan kode Alkitab muncul dan mulai menyebar pada tahun 1994 ketika [[Doron Witztum]], [[Eliyahu Rips]] dan [[Yoav Rosenberg]] mempublikasikan suatu makalah berjudul "Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis" ("Urutan-urutan huruf berjarak sama pada Kitab Kejadian") pada jurnal ilmiah ''[[Statistical Science]]''.<ref name="WRR">{{cite journal | author = Doron Witztum, Eliyahu Rips, Yoav Rosenberg | title = Equidistant letter sequences in the Book of Genesis | journal = Statistical Science | volume = 9 | year = 1994 | issue = 3 | pages = 429–438 | doi = 10.1214/ss/1177010393}}</ref> Makalah yang dipresentasikan oleh jurnal itu sebagai suatu "teka-teki yang menantang" ("''challenging puzzle''") menampilkan bukti [[statistik]] kuat bahwa informasi riwayat hidup sejumlah [[rabbi]] Yahudi terkenal ternyata tersembunyi dalam teks [[Kitab Kejadian]], yang ditulis berabad-abad sebelum rabbi-rabbi tersebut hidup.<ref name="WRR"/>
 
Sejak itu istilah "Kode Alkitab" secara populer merujuk secara khusus untuk informasi yang didapatkan dari pemecahan kode menurut metode ELS ("'''''E'''quidistant '''L'''etter '''S'''equences''" = "Urutan-urutan huruf berjarak sama") tersebut.
==Equidistant Letter Sequence method==
The primary method by which purportedly meaningful messages have been extracted is the ''Equidistant Letter Sequence'' (ELS). To obtain an ELS from a text, choose a starting point (in principle, any letter) and a skip number, also freely and possibly negative. Then, beginning at the starting point, select letters from the text at equal spacing as given by the skip number. For example, the bold letters in '''t'''his '''s'''ent'''e'''nce '''f'''orm '''a'''n EL'''S'''. With a skip of −4, and ignoring the spaces and punctuation, the word ''safest'' is spelled out.
 
Sejak makalah karya Witztum, Rips dan Rosenberg (WRR) dipublikasikan, muncul dua kelompok pemikiran mengenai kode-kode tersebut di antara para pendukungnya. Pendangan tradisional (WRR) adalah kode-kode itu hanya dapat diterapkan pada [[Taurat]] dan di luar Taurat tidak sah. Ini didasarkan pandangan bahwa Taurat itu sangat unik di antara kitab-kitab lain dalam Alkitab yang diberikan kepada umat manusia, di mana [[Musa]] menerima teks itu "dengan urutan huruf-huruf yang tepat" dari Allah dalam [[bahasa Ibrani]] asli.
Often more than one ELS related to some topic can be displayed simultaneously in an ''ELS letter array''. This is produced by writing out the text in a regular grid, with exactly the same number of letters in each line, then cutting out a rectangle. In the example below, part of the [[King James Version of the Bible|King James Version]] of [[Book of Genesis|Genesis]] (26:5–10) is shown with 33 letters per line. ELSs for BIBLE and CODE are shown. Normally only a smaller rectangle would be displayed, such as the rectangle drawn in the figure. In that case there would be letters missing between adjacent lines in the picture, but it is essential that the number of missing letters be the same for each line.

The "great rabbis experiment" went through several iterations, and was eventually published in 1994, in the [[peer review|peer-reviewed journal]] ''Statistical Science''. Prior to publication, the journal's editor, Robert Kass, subjected the paper to three successive peer reviews by the journal's referees, who according to Kass were "baffled". Though still skeptical,<ref name="projecteuclid.org">{{cite book |author=Kass, R.

Understanding that the paper was certain to generate controversy, it was presented to readers in the context of a "challenging puzzle."

Witztum dan Rips juga melakukan eksperimen-eksperimen lain yang kebanyakan berhasil, meskipun tidak ada yang dipublikasikan dalam jurnal-jurnal. Eksperimen lain di mana nama-ama rabbi terkenal dicocokkan dengan tempat kelahiran dan kematian mereka (bukan dengan tanggal-tanggalnya), dilakukan pada tahun 1997 oleh Harold Gans, bekas ''Senior [[Cryptology#NSA involvement|Cryptologic]] Mathematician'' untuk [[National Security Agency]] [[Amerika Serikat]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.torahcode.net/people/gans.shtml |title=? }}</ref>

Lagi-lagi, hasilnya ditafsirkan sebagai bermakna dan bukan dari kebetulan.<ref>http://www.torah-code.org/controversy/gans_statement.pdf</ref> Kode-kode Alkitab ini menjadi dikenal oleh publik terutama karena seorang wartawan Amerika Serikat, [[:en:Michael Drosnin|Michael Drosnin]], menerbitkan buku ''[[The Bible Code]]'' ([[Simon and Schuster]], 1997) yang menjadi nomor satu dalam penjualan di berbagai negara. Rips mengeluarkan pernyataan publik bahwa ia tidak mendukung karya maupun kesimpulan Drosnin;<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.despatch.cth.com.au/Articles_V/Torah_Extracts.htm |title=Public Statement by Dr. Rips on Michael Drosnin's theories |publisher=despatch.cth.com.au}}</ref> juga Gans telah mengatakan meskipun buku itu menyatakan bahwa kode-kode dalam Taurat dapat digunakan untuk meramal peristiwa masa depan: "Ini secara absolut tidak berdasar. Tidak ada dasar ilmiah maupun matematika untuk pernyataan semacam itu, dan pemikiran yang digunakan untuk sampai pada kesimpulan buku itu cacat secara logis."<ref>http://www.skepdic.com/bibcode.html</ref> Pada tahun 2002, Drosnin menerbitkan buku kedua dengan topik sama, berjudul ''Bible Code II: the Countdown''.
 
Kelompok penjangkauan Yahudi "Aish-HaTorah" menggunakan kode Alkitab pada "Discovery Seminars" mereka untuk meyakinkan orang Yahudi sekuler akan keilahian Taurat, dan mendorong mereka untuk mempercayai pengajaran Ortodoks tradisional Yahudi. Pemakaian teknik kode Alkitab juga menyebar ke kalangan Kristen tertentu, khususnya di [[Amerika Serikat]]. Pendukung awalnya adalah [[Yakov Rambsel]], seorang penganut [[Yudaisme Mesianik]], dan [[Grant Jeffrey]]. Teknik kode Alkitab lain dikembangkan pada tahun 1997 oleh Dean Coombs (juga seorang Kristen). Berbagai [[pictogram]] diklaim dibentuk oleh kata-kata dan kalimat-kalimat menggunakan ELS.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bible-codes.org |title=Bible Code Pictograms Bible Codes that form images that predict the future |publisher=bible-codes.org |accessdate=October 6, 2010}}</ref>
Although the above examples are in English texts, Bible codes proponents usually use a [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] Bible text. For religious reasons, most Jewish proponents use only the [[Torah]] (Genesis–Deuteronomy).
 
Sejak 2000, ahli fisika Nathan Jacobi, seorang Yahudi agnostik, dan insinyur Moshe Aharon Shak, seorang Yahudi ortodoks, mengklaim telah menemukan ratusan contoh ELS panjang dan luas.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.biblecodedigest.com |title=Find what you are looking for |publisher=biblecodedigest.com |accessdate=October 6, 2010 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101026015526/http://biblecodedigest.com/ |archivedate=2010-10-26 |deadurl=no }}</ref> Angka-angka ELS luas dengan panjang yang berbeda dibandingkan dengan teks-teks tanpa kode, yang ditentukan dengan formula dari teori [[Markov chain]].<ref>Sherman, R.

=== Ekstensi ELS ===
 
== Metode ELS ==
Once a specific word has been found as an ELS, it is natural to see if that word is part of a longer ELS consisting of multiple words.<ref>Shak, Moshe Aharon. 2004. ''Bible Codes Breakthrough''. Montreal: Green Shoelace Books. 38</ref> For example, in the middle of the rightmost column of the boxed matrix above is the ELS "he". After searching immediately above and below this ELS, we see another ELS ("toe") that is right below the "he" ELS. Code pioneers Haralick and Rips have published an example of a longer, extended ELS, which reads, "Destruction I will call you; cursed is Bin Laden and revenge is to the [[Messiah]]."<ref>Haralick, Rips, and Glazerson. 2005. ''Torah Codes: A Glimpse into the Infinite''. New York: Mazal & Bracha. 125</ref>
Metode utama untuk mendapatkan pesan-pesan bermakna adalah ''Equidistant Letter Sequence'' (ELS; "Urutan-urutan huruf berjarak sama"). Guna memperoleh suatu ELS dari sebuah teks, pembaca memilih suatu titik awal (pada prinsipnya, huruf apapun) dan suatu angka jarak loncatan, juga secara acak dan dapat pula bernilai negatif (meloncat mundur). Kemudian, dari huruf titik awal itu diurutkan huruf-huruf dengan jarak yang telah ditetapkan oleh angka jarak loncatan tadi. Misalnya, dalam kalimat "'''t'''his '''s'''ent'''e'''nce '''f'''orm '''a'''n EL'''S'''", jika diloncati dengan jarak −4, dan tidak mempedulikan spasi atau tanda baca, maka kata diperoleh kata ''safest''.

Often more than one ELS related to some topic can be displayed simultaneously in an ''ELS letter array''. This is produced by writing out the text in a regular grid, with exactly the same number of letters in each line, then cutting out a rectangle. In the example below, part of the [[King James Version of the Bible|King James Version]] of [[Book of Genesis|Genesis]] (26:5–10) is shown with 21 letters per line. ELSs for BIBLE and CODE are shown. Normally only a smaller rectangle would be displayed, such as the rectangle drawn in the figure. In that case there would be letters missing between adjacent lines in the picture, but it is essential that the number of missing letters be the same for each line.

[[Berkas:bible_code_example.svg|jmpl|Susunan huruf-huruf dari [[Kitab Kejadian]] 26:5–10 dalam pembagian 21 per kolom, akan mendapatkan kata-kata "Bible" dan "code". Aturan lain menghasilkan kata-kata lain pula.]]
 
Meskipun contoh di atas dalam teks bahasa Inggris, pendukung kode Alkitab biasanya menggunakan teks bahasa aslinya, yaitu [[bahasa Ibrani]] untuk [[Taurat]] ataupun [[Perjanjian Lama]]/[[Alkitab Ibrani]], serta [[bahasa Yunani]] untuk [[Perjanjian Baru]]. Dengan alasan agamawi, kebanyakan pendukung Yahudi hanya menggunakan [[Taurat]] yaitu [[Kitab Kejadian]] sampai [[Kitab Ulangan]] saja.
ELS extensions that form phrases or sentences are of interest. It follows from the basics of probability theory that the longer the extended ELS, the less likely it is to be the result of chance.<ref>Sherman, R. Edwin, with Jacobi and Swaney. 2005. ''Bible Code Bombshell'' Green Forest, Ar.: New Leaf Press. 95–109</ref>
 
=== SejarahEkstensi ELS ===
Jewish culture has a long tradition of interpretation, annotation, and [[Jewish commentaries on the Bible|commentary]] regarding the Bible, leading to both [[exegesis]] and [[eisegesis]] (drawing meaning from and imposing meaning on the texts). The Bible code can be viewed as a part of this tradition, albeit one of the more controversial parts. Throughout history, many Jewish, and later Christian, scholars have attempted to find hidden or coded messages within the Bible's text, notably including [[Isaac Newton]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Isaac Newton|url=http://jahtruth.net/newton.htm|publisher=JAH Publications}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Bible Code|url=http://www.paranormality.com/bible_code.shtml|publisher=paranormality.com}}</ref>
 
Pada waktu suatu kata tertentu ditemukan dengan metode ELS, adalah lazim untuk memeriksa apakah kata itu merupakan bagian dari ELS yang lebih panjang yang terdiri dari beberapa kata.<ref>Shak, Moshe Aharon. 2004. ''Bible Codes Breakthrough''. Montreal: Green Shoelace Books. 38</ref> Misalnya, di tengah kolom paling kanan dalam matriks kotak di atas terdapat ELS "he". Setelah meneliti di atas dan di bawah ELS ini, dapat dilihat ELS lain ("toe") yaitu di sebelah kanan bawah ELS "he". Para pionir kode Haralick dan Rips telah menerbitkan suatu contoh dari ekstensi ELS panjang yang memuat, "Kehancuran aku akan menyatakan padamu, terkutuklah Bin Laden dan balas dendam adalah bagi [[Mesias]]."<ref>Haralick, Rips, and Glazerson. 2005. ''Torah Codes: A Glimpse into the Infinite''. New York: Mazal & Bracha. 125</ref><ref>[http://www.torah-code.org/papers/belgpdf.pdf Long Phrases in Torah Codes] karya Art Levitt, Nachum Bombach, Harold Gans, Robert Haralick, Leib Schwartzman, Chaim Stal. 2004.</ref>
The 13th-century Spanish [[Rabbi]] [[Bachya ben Asher]] may have been the first{{citation needed|date=December 2007}} to describe an ELS in the Bible. His four-letter example related to the traditional zero-point of the [[Hebrew calendar]]. Over the following centuries there are some hints that the ELS technique was known, but few definite examples have been found from before the middle of the 20th century. At this point many examples were found by the Slovak Rabbi [[Michael Ber Weissmandl]] and published by his students after his death in 1957. Nevertheless, the practice remained known only to a few until the early 1980s, when some discoveries of an Israeli school teacher Avraham Oren came to the attention of the mathematician [[Eliyahu Rips]] at the [[Hebrew University]] of Jerusalem. Rips then took up the study together with his religious studies partners [[Doron Witztum]] and Alexander Rotenberg, and several others.
 
Ekstensi ELS yang membentuk frasa atau kalimat sangat menarik perhatian. Menurut teori probabilitas dasar, semakin panjang ekstensi ELS, semakin kecil kemungkinan bahwa itu dihasilkan dari kebetulan semata.<ref>Sherman, R. Edwin, with Jacobi and Swaney. 2005. ''Bible Code Bombshell'' Green Forest, Ar.: New Leaf Press. 95–109</ref>
Rips and Witztum designed computer software for the ELS technique and subsequently found many examples. About 1985, they decided to carry out a formal test, and the "Great rabbis experiment" was born. This experiment tested the hypothesis that ELS's of the names of famous rabbinic personalities and their respective birth and death dates form a more compact arrangement than could be explained by chance.

Understanding that the paper was certain to generate controversy, it was presented to readers in the context of a "challenging puzzle."
 
Witztum and Rips also performed other experiments, most of them successful, though none were published in journals. Another experiment, in which the names of the famous rabbis were matched against the places of their births and deaths (rather than the dates), was conducted in 1997 by Harold Gans, former Senior [[Cryptology#NSA involvement|Cryptologic]] Mathematician for the United States [[National Security Agency]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.torahcode.net/people/gans.shtml |title=? }}</ref>
Again, the results were interpreted as being meaningful and thus suggestive of a more than chance result.<ref>http://www.torah-code.org/controversy/gans_statement.pdf</ref> These Bible codes became known to the public primarily due to the American journalist [[Michael Drosnin]], whose book ''[[The Bible Code]]'' ([[Simon and Schuster]], 1997) was a best-seller in many countries. Rips issued a public statement that he did not support Drosnin's work or conclusions;<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.despatch.cth.com.au/Articles_V/Torah_Extracts.htm |title=Public Statement by Dr. Rips on Michael Drosnin's theories |publisher=despatch.cth.com.au}}</ref> even Gans has said that although the book states that the codes in the Torah can be used to predict future events: "This is absolutely unfounded. There is no scientific or mathematical basis for such a statement, and the reasoning used to come to such a conclusion in the book is logically flawed."<ref>http://www.skepdic.com/bibcode.html</ref> In 2002, Drosnin published a second book on the same subject, called ''Bible Code II: the Countdown''.
The Jewish outreach group Aish-HaTorah employs Bible Codes in their Discovery Seminars to persuade secular Jews of the divinity of the Torah, and to encourage them to trust in its traditional Orthodox teachings. Use of Bible code techniques also spread into certain Christian circles, especially in the United States. The main early proponents were [[Yakov Rambsel]], who is a [[Messianic Judaism|Messianic Jew]], and [[Grant Jeffrey]]. Another Bible code technique was developed in 1997 by Dean Coombs (also Christian). Various [[pictograms]] are claimed to be formed by words and sentences using ELS.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bible-codes.org |title=Bible Code Pictograms Bible Codes that form images that predict the future |publisher=bible-codes.org |accessdate=October 6, 2010}}</ref>
 
Since 2000, physicist Nathan Jacobi, an agnostic Jew, and engineer Moshe Aharon Shak, an orthodox Jew, claim to have discovered hundreds of examples of lengthy, extended ELSs.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.biblecodedigest.com |title=Find what you are looking for |publisher=biblecodedigest.com |accessdate=October 6, 2010| archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20101026015526/http://biblecodedigest.com/| archivedate= October 26, 2010 | deadurl= no}}</ref> The number of extended ELSs at different lengths is compared with those expected from a non-encoded text, as determined by a formula from [[Markov chain]] theory.<ref>Sherman, R.

The primary objection advanced against Bible codes is that [[information theory]] does not prohibit "noise" from appearing to be sometimes meaningful. Thus, if data chosen for ELS experiments are intentionally or unintentionally "cooked" before the experiment is defined, similar patterns can be found in texts other than the Torah. Although the probability of an ELS in a random place being a meaningful word is small, there are so many possible starting points and skip patterns that many such words can be expected to appear, depending on the details chosen for the experiment, and that it is possible to "tune" an ELS experiment to achieve a result which appears to exhibit patterns that overcome the level of noise.
 
Baris 102 ⟶ 107:
 
Skeptic [[Dave Thomas (physicist)|Dave Thomas]] claimed to find other examples in many texts. While Thomas' methodology was alleged to have been refuted by [[Robert Haralick]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.torah-code.org/papers/skeptical_inquirer_02_15_07.pdf |title=Skeptical About the Reasoning of the Bible Code Skeptic |author=Robert M |publisher=torah-code.org |accessdate=October 6, 2010}}</ref> and others, Thomas's criticisms were aimed at Drosnin, whose methodology was actually far worse. (In fact, Drosnin's example of "Clinton" in his first book violated the basic Bible Code concept of "Minimality"; Drosnin's "Clinton" was a completely invalid "code"). In addition, McKay claimed that Drosnin had used the flexibility of Hebrew [[orthography]] to his advantage, freely mixing classic (no vowels, Y and W strictly consonant) and modern (Y and W used to indicate ''i'' and ''u'' vowels) modes, as well as variances in spelling of K and T, to reach the desired meaning. In his television series ''[[John Safran vs God]]'', Australian television personality [[John Safran]] and McKay again demonstrated the "tuning" technique, demonstrating that these techniques could produce "evidence" of the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York in the lyrics of [[Vanilla Ice]]'s repertoire. Additionally, "coded" references in non-Torah Bible texts, as for instance the famous [[Number of the Beast]], do not use the Bible code technique. And, the influence and consequences of scribal errors (e.g., misspellings, additions, deletions, misreadings, ...) are hard to account for in the context of a Bible coded message left secretly in the text. McKay and others claim that in the absence of an objective measure of quality and an objective way to select test subjects, it is not possible positively to determine whether any particular observation is significant or not. For that reason, most of the serious effort of the skeptics has been focused on the scientific claims of Witztum, Rips and Gans.

Another example of an alleged prediction coded in the text of the Bible, which is also attributed to Rabbi [[Chaim Michael Dov Weissmandl]] (who was mentioned above),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.torahone.com/docs/TorahCodes.htm |title=I am statistically significant |publisher=torahone.com |accessdate=October 6, 2010}}</ref> concerns the hanging of 10 Nazi leaders on October 16, 1946 following the [[Nuremberg Trials]]. Rabbi Weissmandl claimed that this event was predicted by the Biblical story about the hanging of the 10 sons of [[Haman (Bible)|Haman]], also as a final consequence of a (failed) genocidal plan against the Jews. The "coded" aspect of his speculation is that in the [[Masoretic text]] of the Bible, three letters within the list of Haman's sons are marked as small letters:<ref>[http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view_page.jsp?artid=860&letter=S&pid=1 "Small and Large Letters"] in the: [[Jewish Encyclopedia]], Funk and Wagnalls, New York 1901–1906.

See also [[chronogram]].</ref> which is the Jewish year that the 10 Nazi leaders were executed (October 16, 1946 corresponds to Tishrei 21, 5707, the day known as ''Hoshanna Rabba,'' the day of severe judgments for the nations of the world, according to the Jewish calendar).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hebcal.com/converter/ |title=Hebrew Date Converter |publisher=hebcal.com |accessdate=October 6, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://calendarhome.com/converter/ |title=Calendar Converter |publisher=calendarhome.com |accessdate=October 6, 2010| archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20100927100957/http://calendarhome.com/converter/| archivedate= September 27, 2010 | deadurl= no}}</ref> Many people criticize various aspects of this speculation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.talkreason.org/articles/Purim.cfm |title=Purim 1946?

Contoh lain dari ramalan yang diyakini tersembunyi dalam teks Alkitab, yang dikatakan berasal dari Rabbi [[Chaim Michael Dov Weissmandl]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.torahone.com/docs/TorahCodes.htm |title=I am statistically significant |publisher=torahone.com |accessdate=October 6, 2010}}</ref> berkaitan dengan hukuman gantung atas 10 pemimpin [[Nazi]] pada tanggal 16 Oktober 1946 sebagai keputusan [[Proses Nürnberg|Persidangan Nuremberg]]. Rabbi Weissmandl menyatakan bahwa peristiwa ini sudah diramalkan dalam kisah [[Alkitab]] mengenai hukuman gantung atas 10 putra [[Haman]] (pada [[Ester 9#Aayt 7-9|Kitab Ester 9:7-9]]), yang juga merupakan konsekuensi akhir dari suatu rencana pembasmian terhadap bangsa Yahudi yang gagal. Aspek pengkodean dari spekulasinya ini adalah dari [[Teks Masoret]] [[Alkitab Ibrani]], di mana tiga huruf di dalam daftar nama putra-putra Haman ditandai dengan penulisan huruf-huruf berukuran lebih kecil:<ref>[http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view_page.jsp?artid=860&letter=S&pid=1 "Small and Large Letters"]{{Pranala mati|date=Februari 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} in the: [[Jewish Encyclopedia]], Funk and Wagnalls, New York 1901–1906.
