  13. 13For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.כִּֽי חִ֭זַּק בְּרִיחֵ֣י שְׁעָרָ֑יִךְ בֵּרַ֖ךְ בָּנַ֣יִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּֽךְ
  14. 14He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.הַשָּׂם גְּבוּלֵ֥ךְ שָׁל֑וֹם חֵ֥לֶב חִ֝טִּ֗ים יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽךְ
  15. 15He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.הַשֹּׁלֵ֣חַ אִמְרָת֣וֹ אָ֑רֶץ עַד מְ֝הֵרָ֗ה יָר֥וּץ דְּבָרֽוֹ
  16. 16He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.הַנֹּתֵ֣ן שֶׁ֣לֶג כַּצָּ֑מֶר כְּ֝פ֗וֹר כָּאֵ֥פֶר יְפַזֵּֽר

YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
