'Three' in the Bible

And he had seven sons and three daughters.

And of cattle he had seven thousand sheep and goats, and three thousand camels, and a thousand oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great number of servants. And the man was greater than any of the sons of the east.

His sons regularly went to one another's houses, and every one on his day gave a feast: and at these times they sent for their three sisters to take part in their feasts with them.

And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The Chaldaeans made themselves into three bands, and came down on the camels and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

And Job's three friends had word of all this evil which had come on him. And they came every one from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. So they came together to a meeting-place, in order that they might go and make clear to Job their grief for him, and give him comfort.

So these three men gave no more answers to Job, because he seemed to himself to be right.

And he was angry with his three friends, because they had been unable to give him an answer, and had not made Job's sin clear.

And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, he was very angry.

Truly, God does all these things to man, twice and three times,

And he had seven sons and three daughters.
