# Bible: Leviticus

🏷 Bible text Hebrew text interlinear spook law · text — by Gerry · Oct 2020 · 8997 words

The Book of Leviticus does not advance the Biblical storyline, but contains only laws. Many of these laws are also repeated in Deuteronomy. I have only decrypted a small part so far: The laws about not “eating blood” and about not “revealing nakedness” all say that it’s forbidden to reveal spook disguises!

## Introduction

The Book of Leviticus lists religious laws which are really encrypted spook laws, for moles & spies living among the unaware population to help subjugating them. The most important decryption puns are these:

- The laws are directed at the yšrˀl “Israelites”, who are probably meant to be the ˁzr-rˁl “veiled assistants” of the rulers among the population.
- One central law forbids to ˀkl-dm “eat blood”, which puns with not glˀ-dmˀ “revealing a disguise”. 🡻
- Another law forbids to ˀkl-nblh “eat corpses”, which puns with not glˀ-nbl “revealing a villany” committed by the rulers. 🡻
- Many laws forbid to glˀ-ˁrwt “reveal the nakedness” of family members, which in Aramaic spelling puns with not glˀ-yrwtˀ “revealing the heritage” of the family, i.e. the descent from the ruling class. 🡻
- Several laws forbid to ntn-škb “lay for intercourse” with various people, which puns with not ntn-škbh “showing the social class”, i.e. the affiliation with the ruling class. 🡻
- The spooks are supposed to be wary of the gr “strangers” dwelling among them, who are really the grˁ “inferiors” dwelling among them, i.e. the people of common birth on whom they are spying. 🡻

So on the surface, some laws are about not eating and some about not revealing, but they’re really all about not revealing things.

## Don’t reveal disguises

### If a veiled ruler reveals a disguise, we will cut him off.

This is the famous law about not eating blood. It’s a very clean & straightforward pun, of ˀkl dm “eat blood” with glˀ dmˀ “reveal a disguise”. Obviously, that’s strictly forbidden!

#### Leviticus 17:10

> Encrypted: And if there is any man from the house of a veiled assistant, or from the inferiors who dwell among you, who uncovers & reveals any disguise, then we will set our anger on that person who uncovered & revealed the disguise, and will cut him off from among our people.

> Official: And if there is any man from the house of Israel, or from the strangers who dwell among you, who eats any blood, then I will set my anger on that person who ate the blood, and will cut him off from among our people.

### If one reveals a mockery, he must suppress the leak, or will be cut off.

This is the law about not eating carcasses. It’s a less straightforward pun, of ˀkl nblh “eat a carcass”, perhaps with glˀ nbl “reveal a villainy” or glˀ nbll “reveal a confusion”. While the previous law concerns personal disguises, this one seems to concern the enacted hoaxes. Apparently, it also mandates that all leaks be immediately suppressed, until trust is regained with the people.

#### Leviticus 17:15

> Encrypted: And every person who reveals a confusion or a mockery, whether he is one of our own or an inferior, he shall subdue & suppress his deceit and regain trust & safety with the people, and be deemed unclean, until it is all confused, then he is again deemed clean.

> Official: And every person who eats a carcass of a dead animal or flesh that was torn by animals, whether he is a native or a stranger, he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be deemed unclean, until in the evening then he is again deemed clean.

### Do not reveal any of your heritage.

These is the lengthy list of “nakedness” laws. It’s again a straightforward pun, of ˁrwt “nakedness”, with Aramaic yrwtˀ / yrth “heir” / “heritage”. Spooks mustn’t reveal that all positions of power & fame are staffed with princelings from crypto-aristocratic heritage! This also confirms the previous laws: On the surface, the laws switch from eating to revealing here, but under the surface, they’re all about revealing!

### Do not show your social class in public.

These are again less straightforward puns, of škb “laying down”, perhaps with škbh “social layer”, and with skb / špk “spilling”. Secret rulers mustn’t spill their high social rank, but pose as commoners to fool the subjects.

#### Leviticus 18:20

> Encrypted: And with the nobility your true identity not shall you show publicly your social class, sowing the need to be hidden & obscured with it.

### Do not reveal your social class to an inferior.

#### Leviticus 18:22

The puns are unclear, but we can be very sure the spooks never meant or took bans on homosexuality seriously for themselves. Rather, these are again spook laws about not revealing things.

> Encrypted: And unto one who is inferior not you shall spill your social class like to an equal, an abomination it is.

> Official: And unto a male not you shall lie down like lying down with a woman, an abomination it is.
