Here is what I have written in my scriptures from my seminary days:
| Number | Scriptural Symbolism |
| 1 | God, Genesis, beginning |
| 2 | Christ, opposition, deliverance |
| 3 | Holy Ghost, Godhead, solid, divine protection |
| 4 | Earth (North, South, East, and West; 4 elements; divisions of day; seasons, and etc) |
| 5 | Grace (4+1) |
| 6 | Man’s imperfection (6 times, Savior is charged with having a devil inside, serpent in Hebrew has 6 names) |
| 7 | Oath, spiritual perfection |
| 8 | Abundance, Covenant, beginning, new |
| 9 | Judgment |
| 10 | The Law, Order (10 Commandments) |
| 11 | Discord, disorder (12-1) |
| 12 | Priesthood authority, governmental perfection (quorum of 12 holds all Priesthood keys) |
| 20 | Expectancy (i.e. 20 years Jacob waited to get wives and payment) |
| 30 | The right moment |
| 40 | Probation, trial, renewal (40 days ark) |
| 200 | Insufficiencies |
Nary a mention of 70? What kind of a website is this anyway?
@Woodrow: I would love to add the symbolism of 70 if you have it. This website is a personal blog (at least at the moment), I have never purported to be an export. I just thought I would share what was in my seminary scriptures.
Thank you so much for this quick reference!! Great resource 🙂
