It's all about divisibility though, not that that make it any less fascinating.
does the hebrew inscription also hold any peculiar mathematical properties?
I don't think so. It's part of an actual record called the Song of Songs, except the "Remember me" part. I'm not sure where that comes from, but the whole passage read:
Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for Love is as strong as Death.
I was going to have that tatooed on my arm, but the Jewish scholars went ballistic, and it led to a 4 month long debate. One that I lost because of this passage:
Deuteronomy 14:1 You are the sons of God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness on your heads on account of the dead.
On a weirder note, that incident led to the second time I read a passage that described the "sons of God" as men... and that, in turn, led me into a whole different debate. Like the math formula, one thing leads to another and it never seems to end. Sometimes, I feel like I'm just following a trail of bread crumbs.
