In Hebrew, letters are used as numerals. Writing the number 18 looks like the word "chai" which means "life". So if you give someone some sort of gift of 18 something you're wishing them a long life.

A:Some modern interpretation is that the number 18 means 'life', or 'bondage, or that it is the number of Jesus Christ. Of course, we should not for a moment think that the biblical authors had this meaning in mind when they wrote, but modern readers look for meanings even when none exists, so for them, 18 can have one of these meanings in The Bible.

The Bible does indeed make use of numerology, and in those cases we can find reasons for believing the biblical authors really did consciously have specific meanings in mind. The next number in sequence is an example of this. The number 17 was a magic number in the Book of Genesis, as we can see by looking at the ages of the patriarchs or some of the other biblical characters:

  1. Abraham lived to 175 (5 X 5 X 7)
  2. Isaac lived to 180 (6 X 6 X 5)
  3. Jacob lived to 147 (7 X 7 X 3

· Each lifespan involves a perfect square (5, 6, then 7 in a numeric series),

· the third factor also forms a series (7, 5, 3)

· in each case the sum of the factors is 17.

Then we find that Genesis says Sarah lived to 127 years, which is the sum of these consecutive square numbers plus 17 (127 = 52 +62 + 72 + 17).

There are other examples, such as the number 7, but no such meaning can be found for the number 16, however we can have fun looking at various retrospective meanings of numbers and seeing how many we can come up with.

A:

Although some people believes that it means life. It means bondage.
I read in another internet resource that the number 18 means "bondage". Presumably bondage to sin since the number 18 is a multiple of the number 6 (18 = 6+6+6) which is the number of man (sin, fallen, corrupt, etc...).
