The Number 44 - Birth and Blood

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel.

Genesis 4 (vs. 1)

And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

Genesis 4 (vs. 10)

The word translated as "bare" - (Teled) - is an anagram of the name of the Fourth Letter (Dalet). Genesis 4 is deeply integrated with this letter - it contains the first occurrence of the Dalet KeyWord Dawm (Blood) and of the great Spoke 4 theme, Birth. Even the literal meaning of Dalet (Door) first occurs in Genesis 4.

Christians are familiar with the Aramaic form of the semitic root Dawm (Blood) through Acts 1.19:

And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

Aceldama is a transliteration from the Aramaic corresponding to the Hebrew words Cheleq (Field, S# H2506) and Dawm (Blood, (S# H1818). Note that Acts is Book 44.
