NUMBER FIVE (5-2)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

0. Introduction

a) The number 5 is mentioned 318 times in the Bible. 5 is the number of GRACE. It is interesting to note what other mention(s) for 5 can be found in the Bible.

1. How is 5 related to Israel leaving Egypt?

a) Israel came out of Egypt five in a rank. In Exodus 13:18 it says, "The children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt." In the margin it says they went up by five in a rank. It may be in ranks, i.e. fifties, as in 2Kings 1:9 and Isaiah 3:5. The point is that they went up in perfect weakness; helpless, and defenseless; but they were invincible through the presence of God in their midst.


The End ...
