Chariot: An essay on Bereshit and the Merkabah
In the history of the ancient near east, few texts hold as much significance and intrigue as the opening chapters of the Book of Genesis. These verses, foremost of the sacred pages of the Bible, provide a profound narrative that has captivated minds and hearts for millennia. In a world filled with ancient myths and origin stories, Genesis 1-2 stands as a unique testament to the Judeo-Christian understanding of creation, life, and the divine...
And yet, the opening chapters of Genesis 1-2 are also the most misunderstood of the entire Bible. They were written in an alphanumeric arrangement but were intended to be read in a linear order by informed readers who knew the ancient numerical attributions to the alphabet, and because this was forgotten and overlooked there is a dearth of true analyses of the text, and an accompanying absence of commentary about the role of the alphabet which organizes it.
"Chariot" is a comprehensive exploration of the biblical text found in Genesis 1-2, focusing on their linear arrangement and uncovering the intricate mathematics embedded within these chapters. Ashe delves into the deeper meanings and connections within the text, providing insightful analysis and interpretations of Bereshit and the Merkabah, and fresh insight into the origins of the alphabet. This book offers readers a profound perspective on the ancient narratives, bridging the realms of theology and mathematics in a thought-provoking manner.

– Christine Zalewski, author of Enochian Chess of the Golden Dawn.
" Chariot by Bethsheba Ashe is an intriguing book that examines some of the most profound teachings of the Hebrew Bible with a fresh approach based on the mathematical wisdom of the ancients. Through the author’s keen application of gematria and Hebrew numeric codes, the story of creation (Bereshit) presented in Genesis, the visionary experiences of the Merkabah, the esoteric significance of the Exodus, and the origins of the Twenty-two letters of the Hebrew Alphabet reveal new meanings and discoveries. An enjoyable and insightful read. "
