Although neither Greek nor Hebrew (the original languages of the Bible) have numeric characters, every character has a numeric value. Over time, this has led to a recognition of number patterns in Christian texts. The numbers 1, 2, 3, 7, and 40, for example, all have significant meaning for Christians.

Numerology is the assigning of certain meanings or characteristics to numbers in the Bible. For example, some people say that the number seven means completion and perfection -- hence the reason for a week's being seven days.
