LordReed: That the Authors obviously thought so and obviously were alluding to the numbers having some divine significance. |

Pecuman: So what the authors said was enough to convince you? |

LordReed: Okay, wait. The Author's intent is more important to know where the numbers are being used as actual numbers or as code for the supernatural or as a mix of both. The numbers that have some significance in Jewish numerology that I can vouch for the source would be. 7 from the 7 days in Genesis to make the world. 3 from the sons of Noah/races of the world as known to the israelites. 12 from the 12 tribes of Israel. 144 is just 12 squared so this gets its numerological significance from 12. Million there is a general trend of using million to refer to great hosts. There are others like 300, 400-and-something etc. Which may have a numerological significance but I don't know for sure. |

Pecuman: You are not directly answering the question. Are you convinced by what the authors wrote? I am not asking for a treatise on numerology, I just wanna know if you are convinced by what is written. |
