Moar on 23:
The number 23 is linked to the pre Christian pagan Goddess worship. The Parthenon, a 5th century BCE Greek temple dedicated to the Goddess Athena, has 46 outer and 23 inner columns. This quite bizarrely correlates with the human genome, which contains 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent.
Numbers 23 and 46 are clearly linked as you will note above regarding the human genome. It is of interest to note that Psalms 23 and 46 were referenced by presidents Bush and Obama at their respective 9 11 tribute speeches. It is also of interest to note that Psalm 46 seems to have a cryptic reference to Shakespeare and the Spear Shaker, with the 46th word from the beginning being “shake” and the 46th word from the end being “spear”. The original “Spear Shaker” was the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena, shaking her spear of knowledge and propelling humanity forward with her wisdom.

Excerpts
A grand jury is a jury—a group of citizens—empowered by law to conduct legal proceedings, investigate potential criminal conduct, and determine whether criminal charges should be brought. A grand jury may subpoena physical evidence or a person to testify. A grand jury is separate from the courts, which do not preside over its functioning.[1]
The United States and Liberia are the only countries that retain grand juries,[2][3] though other common law jurisdictions formerly employed them, and most others now employ a differing procedure that does not involve a jury: a preliminary hearing. Grand juries perform both accusatory and investigatory functions. The investigatory functions of grand juries include obtaining and reviewing documents and other evidence, and hearing sworn testimonies of witnesses who appear before it; the accusatory function determines whether there is probable cause to believe that one or more persons committed a particular offense within the venue of a district court.
A grand jury in the United States is usually composed of 16 to 23 citizens, though in Virginia it has fewer members for regular or special grand juries. In Ireland, they also functioned as local government authorities.[citation needed] In Japan, the Law of July 12, 1948, created the Kensatsu Shinsakai (Prosecutorial Review Commission or PRC system), inspired by the American system.[4]
The grand jury is so named because traditionally it has more jurors than a trial jury, sometimes called a petit jury (from the French word petit meaning “small”).[5]
Purpose
The function of a grand jury is to accuse persons who may be guilty of a crime, but the institution is also a shield against unfounded and oppressive prosecution. It is a means for lay citizens, representative of the community, to participate in the administration of justice. It can also make presentments on crime and maladministration in its area. Traditionally, a grand jury numbers 23 members.
The mode of accusation is by a written statement of two types:
in solemn form (indictment) describing the offense with proper accompaniments of time and circumstances, and certainty of act and person, or by a less formal mode, which is usually the spontaneous act of the grand jury, called presentment.[6]
No indictment or presentment can be made except by concurrence of at least twelve of the jurors. The grand jury may accuse upon their own knowledge, but it is generally done upon the testimony of witnesses under oath and other evidence heard before them. Grand jury proceedings are, in the first instance, at the instigation of the government or other prosecutors, and ex parte and in secret deliberation. The accused has no knowledge nor right to interfere with their proceedings.[7]
If they find the accusation true, which is usually drawn up in form by the prosecutor or an officer of the court, they write upon the indictment the words “a true bill” which is signed by the foreperson of the grand jury and presented to the court publicly in the presence of all the jurors. If the indictment is not proven to the satisfaction of the grand jury, the word ignoramus[a] or “not a true bill” is written upon it by the grand jury, or by their foreman and then said to be ignored, and the accusation is dismissed as unfounded. (The potential defendant is said to have been “no-billed” by the grand jury.) If the grand jury returns an indictment as a true bill (”billa vera”), the indictment is said to be founded and the party to stand indicted and required to be put on trial.[8]
Origins
The first instance of a grand jury can be traced back to the Assize of Clarendon in 1166, an Act of Henry II of England.[9] Henry’s chief impact on the development of the English monarchy was to increase the jurisdiction of the royal courts at the expense of the feudal courts. Itinerant justices on regular circuits were sent out once each year to enforce the “King’s Peace”. To make this system of royal criminal justice more effective, Henry employed the method of inquest used by William the Conqueror in the Domesday Book. In each shire, a body of important men were sworn (juré) to report to the sheriff all crimes committed since the last session of the circuit court. Thus originated the more recent grand jury that presents information for an indictment.[10] The grand jury was later recognized by King John in Magna Carta in 1215 on demand of the nobility.[11]
The grand jury can be said to have “celebrated” its 800th birthday in 2015, because a precursor to the grand jury is defined in Article 61, the longest of the 63 articles of Magna Carta, also called Magna Carta Libertatum (Latin: “the Great Charter of Liberties”) executed on 15 June 1215 by King John and by the Barons. The document was primarily composed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton (1150–1228). He and Cardinal Hugo de Sancto Caro developed schemas for the division of the Bible into chapters and it is the system of Archbishop Langton which prevailed.[12][13][14] He was a Bible scholar, and the concept of the grand jury may possibly derive from Deuteronomy 25:1: “If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.” (King James Version) Thus the grand jury has been described as the “Shield and the Sword” of the People: as a “Shield for the People” from abusive indictments of the government- or malicious indictments of individuals- and as the “Sword of the People” to cut away crime by any private individual; or to cut away crime by any public servant, whether in the judicial, executive, or legislative branches.
