And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
- Genesis 8:14 (King James Version)
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
- Genesis 1:1 (King James Version)
- The sum of the 8 words of Genesis 8:14 is 2701 (320+365+379+626+56+342+317+296) and the sum of the 7 words of Genesis 1:1 is also 2701.
- This clearly shows that Genesis 1:1 serves as a prologue to the Antediluvian world and Genesis 8:14 serves as a prologue to the Postdiluvian world. Thus, both verses mark two important beginnings in history.
- No verse before Genesis 8:14 yields a total word sum of 2701.
