Appendix A Introduction The basis for this study is a first century hermeneutic demonstrated by the New Testament authors as they used Old Testament references, and an observable property of the Hebrew language called 'notarikon'. Notarikon is an attribute of the Hebrew language where words get their meanings from the combined meaning of the letters, and letters get their meaning from the dots (yods or jots) and strokes (vavs or tittles). John demonstrates a fluency in notarikon which is missed when the Septuagint is used instead of the original Hebrew texts. It can be demonstrated that John 1:1-4 is derived using these tools from the first three words of Genesis 1:1. Also that John used the notarikon to unpack 1Jo 5:7-8 from the words for 'heaven' and 'earth'. Notarikon is used to unpack the meaning of the names of the animals. This is not free-for-all allegory. Examples of animal behavior which may have caused Adam to name the animals thusly are plausible explanations, but not considered 'Bible truth'. The names are used to show why a person represented by the animal would be a good teacher or not. This thesis challenges the common academic acceptance that Paleo-Hebrew is the oldest form of written text and supports the Wiseman hypothesis which suggests that Genesis was written by eye-witnesses. This will be discussed in future works.
