📖 Biblical Number Symbolism

Understanding Numbers in Scripture

Throughout the Bible, numbers carry profound symbolic significance beyond their literal meaning. The ancient Hebrews, like many Near Eastern peoples, recognized that God often communicates truth through numerical patterns. This study examines the major symbolic numbers in Scripture, their meanings, and every occurrence where these numbers appear in the KJ3 Literal Translation.

Note: While recognizing numerical symbolism, we must be careful not to force meanings where none exist. The primary meaning of Scripture is always its plain, grammatical-historical sense. Symbolic meanings should complement, not replace, the literal interpretation.
