A good way for some to remember Bible facts and stories is to note how some numbers repeat themselves throughout the Bible.
In many cases, the narrative in the Bible defines the meaning of numbers. In other cases, numbers are regularly associated with meaning. In all cases, it is important to remember that numbers do not determine doctrine. Rather, doctrine determines the truth illustrated by numbers.
The following number facts in the Bible are a lot of fun to know about, useful to illustrate insight into passages, and helpful to memorizing details in the Bible.
