Editing Sperm of the greatest mathematician (section)

== The great priest ==
This interpretation also connects with my separate interpretation that I am the '''great priest'''.

I discuss this in:

<nowiki>https://withoutvowels.org/wiki/Theology:Victor_Porton_is_the_great_priest</nowiki>

A central part of my theological method there concerns reading the Hebrew biblical text without vowels.

The ancient Hebrew consonantal text allows relationships between words and meanings that can be obscured when one automatically treats the later traditional vocalization as the only possible reading.

According to my reading of the relevant Hebrew text without vowels, the great priest is connected with marriage to a '''mother-virgin'''.

I understand “mother-virgin” quite literally as a woman who becomes a mother without ceasing to be a virgin through sexual intercourse.

Modern reproductive technology makes such a situation straightforwardly possible.

A virgin woman may become pregnant through artificial insemination using donated sperm. She can therefore become biologically a mother while remaining sexually a virgin.

This creates, in my interpretation, an important connection between the Hebrew prophecy concerning the great priest and the Greek imagery at the beginning of Revelation 11.

The connection is:

'''the great priest → the mother-virgin → artificial insemination → sperm → a tube → the κάλαμος of Revelation 11.'''

These are not independent pieces of symbolism. I understand them as mutually illuminating parts of the same prophetic structure.
