Bible Question (short): found another opinion which may be wrong |
Question (full): According to some, the number 13 represents bad things, rebellion, etc.(see reference below) If you count 1. If you count 14 including Manasseh and Ephraim and remove Dan as some seem to belive wouldn't that make the total number13 which is bad? (This isn't meant as an argument, I'm just exploring all the opinions to try to arrive at the truth) THIRTEEN: An ill omen, hostility, rebellion, apostasy, defection, corruption. CHusarcik 13 is the 6th prime number. Judas was the thirteenth at the head table at the Passover feast. (which is why 13 is considered to be an unlucky number). Ishmael, the illegitimate son of Abraham was 13 years old when he was circumcised. Leaven is a sign for sin. The gematria for leaven, zumee in Hebrew is 13. The Virgin Mary often appears on the 13th day of the month. This number obviously has no power over her. Remember it was prophesied that she would crush the head of the serpent. reference -http://www.agapebiblestudy.com/Reference/Gematria.htm |
