It was a time, in the ceremony of the mass, we counted 37 signs of cross: 25 during the canon, 12 out the canon.
Massada was a fortress built close to the Dead sea, on the summit of a cliff. It was the place where Herod the Great had made build his round castle, surrounded by a wall of 18 feet height, and kept by 37 towers, high of 75 feet.

In mathematics, numbers 037, 142857 and 012345679 are numbers known as circular, that is to say of the dividers of 10En-1 = 9...9, with "n" number 9, the numbers being completed of zeroes on the right to have "n" numbers. Thus for the number 37 we have: 037 = 10E3-1/27 = 999/27. An easy and interesting property to show of these numbers is their circular permutations are divisible by themselves. Thus, 370 and 703 are divisible by 037.
