על־פי שלשה־עדים יקום דבר׃

But still;
כי נר מצוה ותורה אור ודרך חיים תוכחות מוסר׃
seems a good and appropriate Proverb to add to those three witnesses.

Another modern example of modern Semitic acronyms - the Palestinian political party Hamas.

Strange coincidence:

Yahweh = 26
Shamayim = 390
U'Eretz = 297
= 613 = the commandments in the Pentateuch.

This can't escaped the notice of Irenaeus's opponents. This must have been very important to them. Perhaps it finally explains why Jesus was the fulfillment of the Law?
