Where does the Star of David originate from?
We can derive the symbol of the Star of David step by step from the mathematics of the Bible.
Through the action of G-d, who created heaven and earth, something changes in eternity: time appears. This is the consequence of G-d's action. Eternity can be imagined as a circle: a line without beginning and without end
The Bible tells us that there are six days of creation and one day of rest. This pattern is reflected in the mathematical division of the circle. A circle can be divided into six equal parts by its own radius. This can be visualized by putting seven coins of the same size together. You can draw a larger circle through the centers of the six coins or circles on the outside. This larger circle is divided into six equal parts. The seventh circle plays no role in the division, you could say it rests
I think that the six days of creation and the seventh as a day of rest are based on this mathematical pattern. This idea is supported by the fact that the six days of creation are recorded in the first chapter and the seventh day in the second chapter. We therefore find here a 6-1 division of the seven days.
The six points on the circle of time can be connected in various ways. The best known are the triangle and the six-pointed star (Star of David).
This approach seems very logical to me. It is obvious to say that the clock face is also derived from this. With the circle as a starting point, the clock can be constructed with the twelve hours as we use them to measure time
The circle is probably also the basis of the dozen. This 6-1 pattern can be found in many different forms in the Bible. Also in the gematria. Various examples can be found in Genesis 1:1. Using prime numbers, this 6-1 division becomes visible.
Both gematria methods, Ragil and Katan, prove this.
In the Katan method (all zeros are eliminated), six of the seven words are prime numbers and only one word is a composite number
With the Ragil method, it is exactly the opposite: six words result in composite numbers and one word results in a prime number
The sum of the letter digits also results in one prime number and six composite numbers:
The 6:1 pattern can also be found with the Milui method: Six composite numbers in relation to one prime number
The distribution of the six alefs among the seven words follows a similar pattern. Six words with an Alef and one word without an Alef
It is G-d who established the Sabbath as a day of rest, and He Himself also fulfills this condition. The Bible writer has very carefully woven this into the text. If we look at the letter positions of the six Alefs, we will see that G-d controls the text. The Alef represents G-d in the Bible.
The addition of the letter positions of the Alefs results in
86, the gematria for elohim, the third word in the creation verse!

It is as if G-d were thereby signing His work.
Some point out that the 6-1 relation, which is based on the circle, has shaped the Bible. From this point of view, we need not be surprised that the number π, which is needed to calculate the circumference of the circle, can be calculated with the help of Gen 1:1. It is correct to within 5 digits.
From the six points on the circle of time we draw two triangles and the six-pointed star (Star of David)
In fact, two triangles form the basis of the six-pointed star. Triangles can be expressed with numbers. For example, the fourth triangle number is 10
1+2+3+4=10
This triangle can be expressed with a picture
The most perfect triangle is the equilateral triangle, as all three side lengths are the same length and all three angles are the same size. We can see that the first triangle is only potentially a triangle. But we also see that the triangles are created by counting numbers. The
seventh triangle therefore has
28 dots
The Bible writer took advantage of this fact by beginning the first verse of the Bible with 7 words and 28 letters. In addition, the first word has 6 letters (△3 = 6) and the phrase
In the beginning G-d created the heaven has 21 letters (△6 = 21)
The
seventh triangle with
28 dots is the starting point for forming the Star of David with
37 dots
If we look at how the six-pointed star develops, we see that the first six-pointed star, the Star of David, is basically found in a circle. The second has
13 dots, the third
37 and the fourth
73 dots
The first six-pointed star is of course only potential. The second six-pointed star should not be counted because it is turned on its side and is not made up of triangles with triangular numbers. Mathematicians do not like to deviate from a rule. But you can draw a Star of David with seven dots
The third and fourth six-pointed stars have
37 and
73 points respectively. These are the factors with which the numerical value of Gen 1:1,
2701, is built up. Similarly, the core of the fourth six-pointed star, the hexagon, has
37 dots and is therefore equal to the third six-pointed star in terms of the number of dots
The triangle not only plays a role in the numerical structure of the letter and word numbers, it also plays a role in the numerical value of the first verse.
2701 is the triangular number of
73
The seven words from Gen 1:1 can be divided into two groups of words with special characteristics. The first group consists of five words with the numerical value
1998
In the beginning G-d created the heaven... Gen 1:1a
And the second group contains the words six and seven with the numerical value
703
...and the earth Gen 1:1b
This number happens to be the thirty-seventh triangle. This triangle can be placed inside the seventy-third triangle so that each corner of the thirty-seventh triangle touches one of the sides of the seventy-third triangle, because the center between 1 and
73 is
37
The number
1998 of the first five words appears to be divided into three triangles, and each triangle has
666 points, which corresponds to the thirty-sixth triangle. These are now the cornerstones that hold the earth in place. The Hebrew word for cornerstone or cornerstone head is
rosh pinnah and has the gematria
666, see Ps 118:22
rosh pinnah (cornerstone/cornerstone head)

The Star of David has been placed at the beginning of the Bible.
The text must have been written by Moses around 1450 BCE. However, there are no archaeological finds of Stars of David from the early days of the Bible. The oldest find is dated to the 3rd or 4th century BC. And it was not until the 15th century CE that the Magen David, the shield of David, was used as a symbol for the Jews.
The question therefore arises as to whether Moses was aware of the fact that when he wrote down the biblical text,
he also wrote down the mathematical laws of the Star of David. From the point of view of creation, this is logical, because with the creation of heaven and earth, the laws of nature and, of course, the mathematical laws also appear. Therefore, we need not be surprised that we can find π in Gen 1:1 as well as the Pythagorean theorem.
Nor should we be surprised that other cultures also know the six-pointed star (Star of David) as a symbol: It is a part of creation, just as every society of antiquity reflected something of the triune G-dhead as manifested in the creation story in the belief in a triune
G-dhead or G-d triad
A mathematical pattern of 37*
73 can be derived from the numerical value 2701 of Gen 1:1: A star of stars
