John and Doves,Thanks Ted for your post yesterday - it was most enlightening.Your analysis that 234 =(6 x 6 x 6) + (6 + 6 + 6) was a revelation.I also had a go with my calculator and found that 234 = 6 x (13+13+13) or 6 x 39.So this means that John's number for 'Barak' (234) has two very significant stringsof figures in its factors - namely your two groupings of 3 6's and my one 6 and 3 13's.In both instances the figures of 6 and 13 are emphasised by being repeated threefoldas if to bring our undivided attention to this fact.13 of course standing for sin and rebellion.Keep tuned,Phil.
