وَلا تَكونوا كَالَّتى نَقَضَت غَزلَها مِن بَعدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكٰثًا تَتَّخِذونَ أَيمٰنَكُم دَخَلًا بَينَكُم أَن تَكونَ أُمَّةٌ هِىَ أَربىٰ مِن أُمَّةٍ إِنَّما يَبلوكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُم يَومَ القِيٰمَةِ ما كُنتُم فيهِ تَختَلِفونَ
And be not like her who unravels her yarn, disintegrating it into pieces after she has spun it strongly, using your oaths as means to deceive one another, because (one) community is more numerous than (another) community. God is only testing you by means of this. On the Day of Resurrection, He will make it clear to you what you differed about.
So every day I wove on the great loom,
but every night by torchlight I unwove it;
and so for three years, I deceived the Achaeans.
- Penelope, The Odyssey
Before presenting the proof that Quran is alluding to Penelope in the Odyssey, we should consider the following information regarding this verse.
The verse contains 32 words and the underlined part has 9 words.
From the beginning of the Quran to the end of the underlined part of the verse, the count of the letter Q is 3209.
In the range starting with 16:92 and ending with 50:1 the count of the letter Q is 2869 or 19 × 151
1692 is the 1,428 the composite number.
The numerical value of the underlined part of the verse is 4223. The meaning and the mathematical coding of 42:23 Which the Shia sect distorts its meaning to justify its evil practices were previously discussed under the topic 42:23 (آية المودة) (The Verse of Affection).
Now to the main proof
Using English to Greek Google translator
Penelope: Πηνελόπη
Odyssey: Οδύσσεια
Now we proceed to calculate the numerical value of the above two words.
Isopsephy is the practice of adding up the number values of the letters in a word to form a single number. Isopsephy is related to gematria - the same practice using the Hebrew alphabet - and the Arabic Abjad numerals.

For calculating the Greek Isopsephy values, I used the following website
Which produces these values
Odyssey: Οδύσσεια = 890
Penelope: Πηνελόπη = 331
890 + 331 = 1221
1221 is the numerical value of 74:30 (on it is 19)
1221 is also the frequency of the letter غ in the entire Quran.
The letter غ in the underlined part of the verse is the 559th غ from the beginning of the Quran and
890 - 331 = 559
Thus the distribution of the letter غ confirms the above proof.
This mathematical coding was revealed on
9.1.2020 = 1399.6.11 = 1442.1.12
9+1+2020 + 1399+6+11 + 1442+1+12 = 4901
The 4901st numbered verse in the Quran is 55:2
