Bastille
A
code showing the term "Bastille" found in the Book
of Genesis. It is the only occurrence in the entire Torah (2 expected
statistically), and it goes through Genesis 39:20 (row split
= 5), I cut and pasted the relevant portion from this verse:
"...the
prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound..."
Which
is exactly what the Bastille was:
The
Bastille was built as the Bastion de Saint-Antoine during the
Hundred
Years' War. The Bastille originated as the Saint-Antoine
gate, but from 1370-1383 this gate was extended to create a fortress
to defend the east end of Paris and the Hôtel
Saint-Pol royal palace. After the war, it was reused as a
state prison, with Louis
XIII the first king to send prisoners there..
