Why are certain numbers in the Bible so specific?

In the Bible, there are no numerals, as we know them. Our numerals came to us
via Arab traders. The numerals had been developed by mathematicians in India,
about 400 years after Jesus.
All numbers, small and large, are spelled out in the Hebrew of the OT and in the
Greek of the NT.

The number of Assyrians killed by the Angel of the LORD

Isa 37:36 "... one hundred and eighty five thousand ..." (185,000 = 37 x 5000)
37 x 3 851 = 37 x 23

2 Sam 7:11-16 : Davidic covenant

(11) The LORD also declares to you that the LORD will make a house for you. (12) When
your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your
descendant after you, who will come forth from you, and I will establish his kingdom.
(13) He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom
forever. (14) I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me ... (15) My lovingkindness
shall not depart from him ... (16) Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me
forever ...

John 2:18-21 : The Temple of His body

(18)The Jews then said to Him, What sign do you show us as your authority for doing
these things?" (19) Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will
raise it up." (20) The Jews then said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will
you raise it up in three days?" (21) But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

1 Peter 2:4-5 : A spiritual house

(4)... coming to Him (Jesus) as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is
choice and precious in the sight of God, (5) you also, as living stones, are being built up
as a spiritual house ...

Hebrews 3:4-6 : God's household ‒ Jesus is the Head

For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. (5) Now
(4)
Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant ... (6) But Christ as a Son over His house ‒
whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until
the end.

Pictogram: Doorpost and lintel

Numeric value = 4 The word that follows ‫ דלת‬in a Bible dictionary is ‫ = דם‬blood.

Blood had to be applied to the doorposts and lintel of the houses where the Israelites
sheltered, so that the angel of death "passed over" them and spared them.

the lintel of their houses

Exo 12:13 The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live, and when I
see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy.

The blood of the Passover lamb was a pre-figuring of the sacrifical death of Jesus. The blood
was placed on the wood frame, at the head and on two sides – ie, in the shape of a cross.

He is the Potter. We are the clay.
2 Cor 4:7 We have this treasure (ie, the Holy Spirit) in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing
greatness of the power will be of God, and not of ourselves.

The first Tet in the Bible: ‫טוב‬ = good

Gen 1:4 God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness.

Jesus is the light of the world. (John 8:12)

The middle verse of the Bible:

Psa 118:8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

‫טוב לחסות ביהוה מבטת באדם‬

The first word = ‫טוב‬

Peace with God. Also peace in God. We find our rest in Him.

 ‫כף‬ means hand, palm of the hand
Pictogram: A cover (indicating to cover over, to protect)

The word ‫ כף‬has a numeric value of 100. 100 = (3 x 7) + (3 x 7) + (3 x 7) + 37

In the Bible, to lay hands on (the head) is to impart.

Exo 29:10,15,19 Aaron (the High Priest) and his sons laid hands on the head of an animal to
impart their sins to an innocent other.

First reference to ‫ כף‬in the Bible is in Exo 4:4

... the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand ( ‫ ) יד‬and grasp it
(the serpent) by the tail." So he stretched out his hand ( ‫ ) יד‬and caught it,
and it became a staff (a symbol of authority) in his hand ( ‫) כף‬

As Moses obeyed, he was empowered by God. It was now no longer the

strength of his arm/hand ( ‫ ) יד‬but the supernatural power of God imparted
through Moses' open hand ( ‫) כף‬.
Exo 33:22 (God to Moses) ... I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with
My hand ( ‫ ) כפי‬until I have passed by.

Numeric value of ‫ = כ‬20 This is twice the value of ‫( יד‬10)

We see the shape of a bowl in the letter ‫כ‬.

The word for a "bowl" at Ezra 1:10 and 8:27 is ‫כפור‬.

The "atonement cover" on the ark of the covenant is ‫כפרת‬ in Hebrew.

The "root" (or shoresh) in both cases is ‫כפר‬. This root ‫ כפר‬indicates the
"covering" for sins that was made when blood was sprinkled on the ark by the
High Priest.

Jesus is our great High Priest (Heb 4:14). He was also the full atonement for our
sins through His sacrifice on the cross, and the shedding of His blood.

In Him, we are forgiven, accepted and drawn under His protective covering.

Numeric value = 30

Lamed is the only Hebrew letter that reaches above the line. Our knowledge comes from
above. With eternity in view, it concerns things above. It is learned and passed on (taught).

Gen 12 – God brought Abraham out of Ur and Haran, to bring him into the Promised Land.
Abraham learned from God, and about God, out of relationship.
Abraham taught his family the way of righteousness (Gen 18:19)

Exo 12 – God brought Israel out of Egypt, to bring them into the Promised Land.
Because of unbelief, God imposed the Law (Gal 3:19). The Law was to teach Israel.

Deut 4:10 "Assemble the people to Me, that I may let them hear My words so they may
learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their
children.

Acts 2 – God brought us out of the world, to bring us into the life that is truly life –
the life of faith in God in Christ.

We are to learn, not of the letter of the Law, but the Spirit in the Law
2 Cor 3:6 (... ministers of a new covenant – )
not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills but the Spirit gives life.

The letter (of the Law) kills. It is meant to kill – to bring us to

an end of ourselves and into a life in Him.

Matt 9:13 (Jesus) But go and learn what this means: "I desire mercy and not sacrifice" for I
did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.

Jesus is a friend of sinners – He came to save those who know they are lost.
John 13:13 "You call Me Teacher and LORD; and you are right, for so I am."

John 14:26 "... the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will
teach you all things ..."

PURPOSE? Luke 6:40 A pupil (disciple) is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has
been fully trained, will be like his teacher.
Psa 51:13 (Then) I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will turn
(back) to You.

Holiness embodies the idea of moral and ethical purity.
However, holy also means separated, set apart. To be sanctified, or consecrated, or made holy,
has the primary meaning of being separated unto God who is Himself completely different and
separate from the profane and fallen world.
God is holy. Jesus is the Holy One of God. God's people are declared holy – set apart – by faith in
Jesus Christ. We are clothed in His righteousness, His holiness. We are to walk in the Spirit so
that God may make our experience match our legal right-standing.

The first word of the Bible is ‫( בראשית‬in the beginning). This Hebrew word is interesting.
It has the word ‫( ראש‬head) inside the word ‫( בית‬house). The first two letters of
‫ בראשית‬are ‫ בר‬, meaning "Son". There is a "hidden" meaning in this first word of the
Bible – the Son is the head in God's household.

Jesus was the Servant King who came to serve, and not to be served
Mark ... whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant (44) and
10:43-45 whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all. (45) For even the Son of
Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.
