'Number' in the Bible
When the days of their feasting were finished, Job would send for them and sanctify them; he would get up early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job thought, "Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." This was Job's customary practice.
That night -- let darkness seize it; let it not be included among the days of the year; let it not enter among the number of the months!
He does great and unsearchable things, marvelous things without number;
he does great and unsearchable things, and wonderful things without number.
Since man's days are determined, the number of his months is under your control; you have set his limit and he cannot pass it.
All his days the wicked man suffers torment, throughout the number of the years that are stored up for the tyrant.
For what is his interest in his home after his death, when the number of his months has been broken off?
"Yes, God is great -- beyond our knowledge! The number of his years is unsearchable.
You know, for you were born before them; and the number of your days is great!
