* One kind of 'Bible code' is that found in Equidistant Letter Sequences, or ELS. The 'ELS codes' were made popular in the last century by Israeli mathematician [[Eliyahu Rips]], his associate [[Doron Witztum]], and several others.

* Another kind of 'Bible code' (and, for many people, the most interesting kind of subtextual pattern in the Bible), is that found by listing, in chronological sequence, the meanings of the names of the [[antediluvian]] [[patriarchs]] given in Genesis chapter 5.

* A third kind of 'Bible code' is that of a complex set of interconnecting subtextual patterns based on the number 144. 144 is the number of hours in the six days of the [[Creation Week]], and, when 'visually' coded as 930 (Adam's age at death), leads to the Equidistant Verse Sequence (EVS) code of 111:  '''a.''' By observing the sum of the three digits (1, 4, and 4), and then observing the differences, or 'distances', between the contiguous digits (1-4, 4-4), the number 144 is seen to 'state' "930" in a way similar to how a perfect circle is visually observed to 'state' "[[pi]]";  '''b.''' 930 is the unique number of the man who represents all of humanity, and is found at the 111th verse (Genesis 5:5);  '''c.''' According to this particular 'Bible Code', the unit of 111 contiguous <ref>http://www.conservapedia.com/Essay:_Bible_Codes</ref> verses is the primary key to pinpointing both explicit and implicit prophetically pivotal passages in the plain text of the [[Pentateuch]]. For example, the Old Testament verse made famous by the founder of [[Morse Code]], [[Numbers 23:23]] is the 40th multiple of 111. A common criticism of this 'EVS code system' is in the fact that the original texts had no explicit verse divisions. But, while it is true that no explicit verse divisions existed in the original texts, and that any such divisions that were made were made only recently in world history, the text itself, like any text or any linguistic vocalization, is not comprised either of random or indifferent linguistic sets, which means there are many different kinds of implicit divisions in the text, including that at the level of the standing verses. Furthermore, while the standing verse divisions of the Bible may not be perfect, the kind of verse division of which they make use is, in general, superior for the purpose of general reference than are all other possible kinds of verse division. This is like the distance between any two bodies of the Solar system, including the [[astronomical unit]], which, regardless of the units of measure used, or of the resultant numbers denoting these distances, are individually and interrelatedly critical.)
