I will keep thy statutes...

O! Forsake me not utterly!

Let all those currently down digits go, because it is time for a binary "roll over!" Hooray!

See, with verse seven, we had the right thumb, index finger, and middle finger down. That corresponds to binary: "111".

In fact, let us count to seven in binary:

1
10
11
100
101
110
111...

Now, that binary "111" is just like a decimal "999". In fact, the result of adding "one" to both binary "111" and decimal "999" looks the same in each case: "1000" and "1000". What is different is the value. In the former case, this many dots:

.... ....

In the latter case? THIS MANY!

..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....
..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .....

And, by the way, as I have said many a time, I know, "-38,148,008,924,359". (If you are curious about the meaning of this number, feel free to let me know).
