Ezra 2:21 Bethlehem has 123 Israelites. Ezra 2:28 Bethel - Ai has 223 Israelites.
The first high priest Aaron was 123 at death. Numbers 33:39.
The first 2 time periods of the Flood are 150 plus 73 days = 223 days when the tops of the mountains are seen.
When we add the 7 days before the Flood when Noah's family of 8 entered the Ark =230.
The 17th generation after Adam was Serug. He lived 230 years after begetting Nahor, Abraham's grandpa.
Jesus resurrected on the 17th day, 3 days after he died on the 14th day of the Jewish year.
Sarah died at 127. Genesis 23:1. Isaac was 37. He married Rebekah 3 years later. Genesis 25:20.
The last two time periods of the Flood are 90 days plus 57 days = 147.
The Flood lasted 370 days. Noah's 8 were in the Ark for 377 days.
Jacob died at 147 years. Genesis 47:28. He lived 17 years after the reunion with Joseph.
Jacob thought Joseph had died at age 17. Joseph lived 71 years after their reunion, dying at 110. Genesis 50:22.
Joshua died at 110 years. Joshua 24:29. Joshua was a descendant of Ephraim, Joseph's youngest son.
First Chronicles 7:20-27.
When Ishmael died at 137 years Genesis 25:17, Abraham had died less than 50 years before at 175 years Genesis. 25:7-9.
Abraham begat Ishmael at 86 years.
86 plus 137 = 48 years Abraham has been dead.
86 plus 137 = 223 years since Abraham was born.
Isaac is 123 years at Ishmael's death. Isaac was born when Abraham was 100. Ishmael was 14.
Is it a stretch to claim the verse in John, The Jewish leaders asked, You are not yet 50.How can you say you knew Abraham?
Jesus responded, Before Abraham was, I AM. John 8:53-57
The gospel is foretold in Israel's conquest of Ai in Joshua 7-8.
The firstborn son of God's death was predicted in the math rounding error of the 3 Levite groups in Numbers 3.
7500 plus 8600 plus 6200 = 22300 not 22000 as the Bible says. This math rounding error changes the story.
The group with the most pays 5 shekels for each person over the other.
You may tease your Catholic friends. They found a manuscript that corrected God's intentional math rounding error by adding 8300 instead of 8600. The New American Bible's sum is 7500+8300+6200=22000. They corrected God's math.
The ancestors of Moses, Levi and Amram die at 137. Exodus 6:16,20.
The Bible's numbers show God's design and predestination.
