    Richard,

    Of course this is very interesting. I am wondering how you propose to use
    it.

    You hint at finding the Trinity in `The LORD is one'. Do you expect a Jew
    to see this as confirmation of a Christian doctrine? He might ask why the
    value of the Shema is associated only with ho pater and not with ho huios
    (750) and to pneuma to hagion (1450) or to hagion pneuma (1080). Do you
    see any comparable significance for these numbers?
