The Number of Promise
Many people know that Jesus was 33 years old at the time of his crucifixion. But did you know that 33 is actually a widespread sacred number in the Scriptures? Throughout the Bible, the number 33 appears again and again at the occasion of God’s most profound promises. But contrary to other sacred numbers, 33 is usually concealed. To find it, you need to search wisely.
God’s Promises to the Forefathers
The 33rd time Noah's name is used in Scripture is when God makes a special covenant with him never to destroy the entire world again with a flood. (Genesis 9:12). The 33rd time Abraham's name appears in the Bible is when Isaac, the child of promise, is born when he is hundred years old (Genesis 21:5). The 33rd time Jacob's name is found is when he had a vision of a ladder reaching heaven (Genesis 28:12).
Enliven your reading of the Bible
The number 33 is essentially two threes. In Hebrew, three is represented by the letter gimel ג from the root gamal גמל meaning “to deal out to, to give.” The term gemilut hasidim - the practice of loving kindness toward others - comes from this root too. That is the essence guiding God's promise to Noah, Abraham and Jacob. Enroll in our live online courses to find out how knowing Hebrew can enliven your reading of the Bible!
