What is the biblical meaning of number 14?

Answer 1

A:Numbers have meaning in The Bible if the biblical authors chose to use that number rather than some other number in certain situations. The number 14 was seen as propitious by the author of Matthew's Gospel, while the author of Luke preferred the number 7.

As we see in Matthew 1:17, the author believed that numerology would prove that Jesus was destined for greatness, with great men occurring in each fourteenth generation. Luke used a slightly different technique, showing that great men occurred in his genealogy each seven generations. In order to achieve this, each had to falsify in some way the Old Testament genealogies, indicating more about the two authors than it tells us about Jesus.
