Here's the spreadsheet I used to solve the Moses Puzzle, in case anyone is interested. I highlighted where all the numbers changed. Split it in between the 12 and 12 marks. 3 lines above and below to establish the conguity, so I knew that the changes had to be signifacant to the solve. First I was thinking Duet, but Rood pointed out that it was a J not a T, and now we have JUDE!

EDIT:It wouldn't let me post an XLR, so I took a screen capture of the worksheet

The lost word? well since all the solves have been biblical names thus far I tried throwing some names of books from the Apochrypha at it like Thomas and Enoch, obviously no sucess there but I just like to keep everyone up to date on what doesnt work
a second thought was that the missing word might be where the elipse is in the paragraph from Eccliastia i tried /alone because that looked like it could fit there but once again no avail
I'm sure the solve has something to do with the dots, I'm messing with them in photoshop a little but ive only got a trial version, anyone tried inverting the colors on it? (edit - tried it and didn't see anything, did anyone else notice there are two small purple dots among all those white ones?)
edit 2- the fact that there are two kind of dots makes me think binary but I suck at binary so don't look at me if you think that might be it (edit - tried that with both big and little being 0's and 1's didn't look like anything)

I toyed around with the dots in Excel and have a spreadsheet where all of the big dots are black squares and all of the little dots are white squares. I also have it converted to ones in zeros. I transcribed it all in reverse because I thought that that went with the backwards seal but alas to no avail. It didn't really show any shpaes that I could see and when I tried to run it through a binary converter I didn't get anything intelligible. If anybody wants this file let me know and i'll e-mail it to you.

Hidden Text I found some hidden text in the verifiedseal.jpg. It reads:
Code:
My name is Synagoga
I am a good girl. I want to be good
Help me... Please help me... I don't want to... I don't want to...

Lost Word I think that THE LOST WORD is a hint to the true name of god
JHWH / Jehovah.
But I still have no idea what to do with these dots...

I tried converting the dots into morsecode, but I didn't get anything even when inverting. Those purple dots are the key I'm sure.

I thought it was braille, but the patterns made me think otherwise. I would be surprised if it is. Although it would tie into the fact that Syn is blind...
EDIT: On second thoughts I think you're right! I got rid of the smaller dots because I think those are to throw us off track, but I left the purple ones in becuase I don't know their significance. I haven't got tim to translate, but here's a webpage - http://www.afb.org/braillebug/braille_print.asp

Got it.
Astaldo decoded "nor which to wisdom able for ash all will resist be and mouth" while I was working.
These words are from Luke 21:15
(For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist)
So I tried a few words from that sentence to find the missing word and hit
edit: clarified solution

How on earth did you get a page name that obscure!? Great work!

On this hidden text that Astaldo found, she had a very similar conversation with me, where she said "I don't want to be evil, I don't want to be evil."
