This is the first post of a series of posts I will have on this topic.
Summarizing what I have read in my posts and writing my thoughts
about them helps me to organize my readings and continue them
in a more systematic and orderly way.Also if you are interested, it
saves you the formidable task of reading all the material on this
_which is really colossal_by breaking it to small parts and summarizing it
and making it more interesting by taking time to discuss about it .I also hope
I can get more incentive and energy from the interest you show with leaving
your thoughts and knowledge as comments. I try to keep each part in a
reasonable size, so I can enjoy the company of more readers

You can find the detailed text which this summary comes from here

An intricate mathematical code, far beyond the ability of human intelligence, has been discovered imbedded in the fabric of the scripture.
This code was deciphered by computers.
…the original scripture was mathematically composed in a way that encodes and guards every single one of its parameters. If the scripture were tampered with, the code would be broken.
The first indication of this mathematical composition was in the 11th century by Rabbi Judah the Pious
Even the specific, nineteen-based, numerical system of the scripture was reported by Rabbi Judah:

The people [Jews] in France made it a custom to add [in the morning prayer] the words: " 'Ashrei temimei derekh [blessed are those who walk the righteous way]," and our Rabbi, the Pious, of blessed memory, wrote that they were completely and utterly wrong. It is all gross falsehood, because there are only nineteen times that the Holy Name is mentioned [in that portion of the morning prayer] ...and similarly you find the word 'Elohim nineteen times in the pericope of Ve-'elleh shemot.... Similarly, you find that Israel is called "sons" nineteen times, and there are many other examples. All these sets of nineteen are intricately intertwined, and they contain many secrets and esoteric meanings, which are contained in more than eight large volumes. Therefore, anyone who has the fear of God in him will not listen to the words of the Frenchmen who add the verse "'Ashrei temimei derekh," and blessed are the righteous who walk in the paths of God's Torah, for according to their additions the Holy Name is mentioned twenty times...and this is a great mistake.
