Summary
- The number 14 is significant in the Bible, particularly in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew, structured into three sets of 14 generations. It also appears connected to the Passover and major historical periods in Israel.
- Symbolically, 14 is seen as a multiple of 7, indicating divine perfection and completeness. It implies aspects of deliverance and salvation, such as with the Passover lamb prefiguring Christ’s sacrifice.
- In biblical feasts like Passover, the number 14 marks key preparation and celebration dates, aligning with themes of fulfillment and God’s faithful promise-keeping.
- Church Fathers, including Augustine and Jerome, viewed the number 14 as symbolizing Christ’s union of divine and human natures and His messianic lineage through David.
