Properties of the number 37

Symbolism

• According to R. Allendy, it is "the individual evolution in the cosmic organization".

• According to Fathers of the Church, thirty seven is a symbol of the Christ. It is the symbol of the alive word of God. To this number is thus allotted a certain dignity.

• According to the antique science of Chaldeans, the number 37 symbolizes the Force, the Capacity and the Power.

General

• Some authors advanced that 37 is the number of centuries before J.-C. where would have occurred the creation of the world.

• According to the talmudic tradition, Isaac was 37 years old at the time of the sacrifice on the Moria mount.

• 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. It is in this fortress that the Zealots resisted during three years to the Roman legions, and where the last 960 Jews committed suicide, preferring it to the slavery.

• It is the normal temperature of the human body in centigrade degree. And it is also the ideal temperature for the feeding-bottles.

• The number 37 is the thirteenth prime number if we count 1 like such.

• 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.

• There exists an interesting relation between numbers 37 and 666: from 666 we obtain 6+6+6=18 and 18 x 37 = 666.

• Some countries fix officially the working week at 37 hours.

• Interesting mathematics properties of 37:

                           111:  1+1+1=3 and 3 x 37 = 111
                           222:  2+2+2=6 and 6 x 37 = 222
                           333:  3+3+3=9 and 9 x 37 = 333
                           ...
                           999:  9+9+9=27 and 27 x 37 = 999
  

Gematria

• Numerical value of "I Am" in Hebrew, Ehieh. By seven times in the Gospel of saint John the Christ mentions it.

• Numerical value of the name of Abel in Hebrew. In the revelations of Maria Valtorta, Jesus mentions on several occasions that he is the new Abel.

• In the "Word of God", in Greek, the word "Word" is written rhma, numbering 37 by using the gematria in "n": 17+7+12+1=37. It is the same for the word silence, sigh, 18+9+3+7=37.

• The numerical values of Hebrew word ALEA meaning "The name of God", GDL meaning to grow, LBE meaning flame, and ZL meaning profession, gives each one 37.

the number 37

by Kailyn Huckabey - 1/17/12 11:09 PM

I'm seeing this number EVERYWHERE. I'm not being over dramatic at all and in all honesty it's really starting to freak me out. I see it on the clock when it is 37 min past the hour. I see it on liscence plates, refrigerators, on phone numbers and barcodes. I don't know if it's a psycological thing or not but it won't leave me alone. I started noticing it last month in the beginning of Decemeber and i feel that by reading all these other responses.. it's never going to go away. UGH!

I see 37 everywhere

by SMC - 1/14/12 10:20 PM

I've seen this number for years and I do think it is significant. It started out when I was younger, being that my favorite numbers were 3 and 7. So later on in my life I combined the numbers for 37. But this number has followed me around for years and it's an obsession of mine. And it is no coincidence that I see this number by looking at a clock or something, because its everywhere. It can be 37 or 73. Examples: Time on clock, license plates... I'm not just talking about one car, but I've seen 4 to 5 cars in a row with that number, previous phones of mine, my GPS, Dinner table number, take-out food number, I live off exit 37. I could go on all day with this. Well anyway Today I am 37... wow can't wait to see what this number has in store for me.

Hello everyone, I'm really shocked that there are so many people that are being followed by the number 37, and I'm one of them. For years the number 37 has been following me, I don't know why but everytime i look at the clock, a number plate, a random number generator, a code, a automatic passord, anything its 37. 37 is really significant for me, It started when i was 11 about the time I was nearly was hurt 3 times that day, the buses window cracked right after I walked past it, a tile fell right next to where i was standing in the loo and someone threw a basketball at the light, the light fell right in front of me. 37 is bloody

Cool Hand Luke

by Jules - 10/28/11 4:41 PM

I just watched Cool Hand Luke, and in Luke's prison camp, his number is 37, and throughout the movie, he refuses to give up. That is the theme in the movie, don't give up. And he doesn't. I just think it's cool that his number fits so well with his situation. (:

by GT - 9/13/11 10:37 AM

I just exchanged phone numbers with someone, who I am very attracted to. When putting his number in my phone I realized he had a lot of the same nunbers as I have but in mixed up order. Something told me to add the numbers. I have never done that before. Mine equals 37. His equals 37. I had to Google the number to see if there was any significance. Now I'm even more interested in seeing what happens.

37 is the sign of the coming of our Lord The Vampire Lizzy Christ

by Janice - 8/25/10 9:51 AM

37 marks He...
Psalm 37:37 King James Bible,
"Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace"
That man is He, He is the The Vampire Lizzy Christ
The Vampire = 10, Lizzy Christ = 11,
10 + 11 = 21,
21 divided by 7 = 3, 21 divided by 3 = 7
37
If you see the number 37 every you may be connected to whom

I have always had a tie to the number 37 since I was a child. Never knew why but it seems to always be 'my' number. I do see it often and until recently I didn't realize that my birthday November 26 is actually 11/26 11+26 = 37. Seems silly that I never really noticed before. The past few months when I look at a clock the in the morning or evening it is exactly 11:26. Creepy how often this has happened lately.
Nice to see a lot of people have a connection to the number 37. Hopefully it's a good thing

37 and 337

by Anonymous - 4/01/11 1:22 AM

In the beginning i was haunted by the number 337 for a month.Now it has been 3 months since when the number 37 started to haunt me.
I don't know if it is a bad thing or a good thing but i hope is not a bad thing.
One day i looked in my phone book for number 37.
I have around 100 numers in my telephone and just one had the number 37 in it.My ex girlfriend's number.
I don't think that my birth date has something to do with it.(27 December 1995)
It is very strange.:)

Time cycles, years

by Anon - 7/11/10 2:05 AM

Look at events in history that *you* find interesting and see if you find cycles of 337 years and 37 years. Don't be freaked out :-) It's the number of randomness, the individual, the isolated person, in my experience.
Look at the multiplication tables of 37 and 337 respectively. They're both primes. Surprised? ;-)

This is just a matter of being observant. That is all. You may remember people did research on 9/11. Just similar to that. Fortunately, author didn't do much research on Mahabharata, Ramayana or the like books. Thanks for not dragging those books on to this. Anyway Bible is the most printed and distributed freely (I am not sure Bible has some values to be priceless!) to propagate across the world.

337

by Carlos - 3/23/11 3:34 PM

This number haunts me.some of you say not to be afraid, but I am. I am not very spiritual at all, always dismissing the idea of a God. I've been seein 337 everywhere for 10 years. I am 32, I feel changes within myself and maybe not for the better, strange nerve firings, throbbing veins, and dull long lasting headaches and I know 337 is going to appear somewhere and without fail it always does. I've tried telling my wife and friends but they all dismiss it as coincidence but I don't think it is. As humans we all want a black and white explanation for all things but if only it were that simple. I've even gone to get my palm read and was told the number is telling me that I am not fulfilling something, what that is I'm afraid I will never know. Will check back frequently now that I've found this page and hope to one day find the answers.

Peace,
Los

this is my story... i dont sleep that great so sometimes to amuse myself when i wake up i try to guess the time. i said to myself it 3:37am ......i opened my eyes and sure enough it was 3:37.
so the next morning i thought it kind of cool that i was able to guess the time so i told my daughter the story ans said thats pretty wierd cause that night a friend of hers told him dont forget to wish me a happy birthday ..she said i will and he goes on to say to be more specific you should wish me a happy birthday at the exact time i was born....you guessed it he was born at 3:37 am so weird to much of a coincidence... my daughter would have never told me about that. only because i told her about the time.... so now im a little obsessed with 337

I remember the exact day I realized 37 was my lucky number. I was 10 I am now 23 so its been 13 years. When I was younger I thought it was just lucky now it is sooo much more than that. Reading all these comments makes me feel so relieved to know there are others out there who feel the exact way I do. I also have a tattoo of 37 and 3 stars behind my ear. I feel that I am connected to the universe and my energy and spiritually are ultimately connected to that number....

this is one of the numbers of the chosen one(s) if you see this number know your guide and angels are w/ you to assist you on a path of rightiousness but one w/ these so called numbers also has the depth of yin/yang as much as one may have the ability to sense spiritually or in a metaphysics type of way.. sense energy, one could go either direction if you are good you will connect w/ spirit psychically if you are not one will connect psychically to evil. this # 37 yells connection w/ the divine.. you can either battle evil or work w/ it but you chose this psychic connection before you came here & your will chooses the rest of that path and whether you use the connection to save the world or to help detroy the world of man kind. we are all connected we are one

37.... It was, is, and always will be the number that blesses me or curses me. I have not figured the number out. I have always felt I had a guiding force that supported me and kept me alive. More than a guardian angel. A direct connection, in conversation with God. I do not hear voices but I feel the presence of God. There are times in my life I should have been killed but something, someone protects me. The number 37 is there as a reminder that Christ Jesus will always be there as my staff on which I lean on. My parents were 37 when I was born. I was 37 when when my father died. My sister was 37 when she died. My dad was 37 when his mom died. My parents were born in 1937. My zipcode is 44137. My grandma died in 1974, 74 is 2 x 37. My great great grandpa was born in 1837. My great grandpa died in 1943. My grandpa was born in 1916. 37 years apart. My wife and 2 sons were born in July the 7th month. 3 people born in the 7th month...37. I can go on and on.

"37.... It was, is, and always will be the number that blesses me or curses me. "

So strange that you say that. I used to always think 37 was a special/positve number that was trying to tell me something for me. But lately its pointed me to not so good things.

More recently, my mum recently was very ill and one night driving to the hospital I was behind some random car an the number plate was 37 FMN (mums name was Fenella). I scared myself tbh when I seen it as I didn't want it to be a bad sign - and she died.

I don't think it is a bad sign per se, but I do think its a simple communication, maybe an alert about something.

Sometimes I think I read to much into it and try to ignore it, then *BANG* its like it really wants to shout out at me regardless.

by Brian Andersen - 3/18/11 1:47 AM

I know the number 37. Since I remember, I have always thought the number 37 was the age I was going to die. I know this seems dramatic, but I grew up as a very sick young man. Asthmatic, allergic to everything, I spent most of my time clinging on to life, I am very fortunate to have a great mom, who changed her's to make mine better. She took up studies in naturalpathic remedies, and within one year, my 12 to 13th year, she cured me. No more allergies, no more hospital visits.... I was able to eat an egg and take penicillin on the same day(two things that would have killed me a year earlier). Blessed by a scottish Mom. Possible white witch. lol
Thirty Seven... A number I have tried to push away, tried to think "I'm nut's", but now as a adult, in this world, I can't help but see things more clearly. I have always looked at this world as a messed up place. I'm not saying I haven't embraced the great things in life...love, laugh & happiness, but I always had an underling sense of .... the end. I am... more...
