-aid that there's a line eater ? complete hogwash, believe me.

As a native hebrew speaker here's my 2 cents' worth : 

	In hebrew, (  at least modern hebrew ) the language is written
right-to-left,  but embedded numbers are written & read *left-to-right* 

	HOWEVER,  if the number is written in *words* it is written
right to left. ( 1123 would come out "a thousand, one hundred & twenty
 three" as in english,  but the words will apear right to left )
