In Hebrew numbers are written out using letters (Aleph=A=1) so numbers sometimes spell out words. That's why 18 is so special because 18= chai= life. for years and years and years it was the defacto amount to give as a present for a bar/bat mitvah or wedding (now its usually 36 which is considered 'double chai, even though that's bogus)
so 3= god, the son, and the holy spirit and 7 = days of week and whatnot? I can see that
sooo... death isn't a good present. I'll have to remember that
