>King James Bible published in 1611 when Shakespeare was 46 years old.
>In Psalm 46, the 46th word from the beginning is "shake" and the 46th word from the end is "spear."
What is the meaning of this?

its not true, but grifters assume many people to be too lazy to check it.
they are right, sadly

Shakespeare would have been 46 at the beginning of 1611. The 46th word from the beginning of Psalm 46 is clearly "shake" and the 46th from the end is "spear", but only if you don't count the final "Selah," which could be the only thing you're referring to as being untrue.

He could have helped out a bit unofficially or simply been someone's friend or something. Who knows. It would be really bizarre for it to be a complete coincidence though.

I don't feel like the 46 is very meaningful here
So then it's more a question of how many times the words, Shake and Spear appears in the Bible

[Anonymous No.20771586]

>>20771559
I checked and they each appear 46 times
Just kidding, it's 65 and 57

Anyway, I don't think the amount in the entire Bible is meaningful as it was worked on by a committee of a number of different people. If there was going to be something hidden in it it would be more likely to be in a small section like a single book or chapter (or psalm).

I remember those days. Hobbes was always touting around his concept of man in nature liked he lived with the cavemen. he would go outside the town and make an ass out of himself to prove that without society, he, like other people, would turn into primitive monkeys unless the king was there to control him. ended up in gael thousands of times, usually drunk off cider and mumbling incoherently to himself while the prison guards laughed at him. they took pity on him and released him and he'd be back to his old tricks. back in the day, photography didn't exist, and you know how people say "take a picture, it'll last longer" well people told him the same thing but regarding writing, and so he did and everyone read it only for Rousseau a century or two later came to resent this fact and tried to counter his thinking which lead to people losing their minds (literally) to the guillotine. people should have just stuck with good ol' Tommy Hobbes and all this would have been avoided. sigh. I miss those days.

The 92nd psalm accounts for comments such as this, verses 4 and 6 (46) read in tandem:
>4. For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
>6. A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

It was actually Shakespea, after a medieval activity of putting a pea on a fork and shaking it to see how far it will fly off.

>There are a few extant examples of Shakespeare's actual signature, and as was customary at the time, with spelling being somewhat lax in those pre-standardized days, on at least one occasion he signed it 'Shakspeare', which divides into four and six letters, thus '46'.

It's a great psalm; one can hear although perversely the witches' reassurance to the future thane of Cawdor-- MacBeth-- in the first three verses.

discerning schizos believe that Sir Francis Bacon was the true author of the works attributed to the shaker of the spear. one such clue might be the highly convoluted 33 repetitions of the word "Francis" found in a single column of the First Folio edition of Henry IV, Part I

in the 1599 Geneva Bible translation shake is 47 and and spear is 44 (not counting selah, but why wouldn't you?). Coincidence seems a sufficient explanation to me.

also the Geneva bible was originally published in 1560, in case you had another schizo theory about Shakespeare being involved in it.

The KJV isn't really a translation from scratch but makes heavy use of previous English versions. And with a project like this, there would have been enough scrutiny that if someone wanted to hide something in the text, it would have to be through innocuous means. A thing like this is about all someone could honestly get away with, seeing a spot where if you shifted the wording just so it would give a neat effect. That doesn't prove anything, but it can't be proved either way to begin with.
