Bible Question: What does the number 9 represent in the Bible? |
Bible Answer: Usually a number is simply a number. Draw: The best way to learn about the number 9 in the Bible is to read how the number is used there. Usually in the Bible nine is used when the Bible is speaking of 5 things plus 4 things. Using a concordance, look up and read in context every occurrence of the word "nine" in the Bible. I think you'll find that nine means nine -- as in 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1. Usually a number is simply a number.
