Sources For true biblical number meanings
Question arises, how did I come to learn what biblical numbers from all the weird stuff on the internet -what make me an expert?
Simple answer: Years of study and research in the Hebrew Letters (Otiot), their pictograph meanings, and the Letter numbers. I found common theme verified by more than one person on the 22 letters, numbers, meanings in the Hebrew alphabet.
From this I began to compile a list and from that learned how to avoid the dangers of Chaldean and Kabbalah numerology plus their use gematria, which is occultic.
Searching hundreds of websites on numbers, I found only a few who admit that their definitions for numbers are not complete, because as with any words, there are multiple meanings for one single word which expresses a certain word several ways.
There is no one website with a complete accurate list of meanings however, from these you can see what they share in common.
The 22 letters of the ancient Hebrew alphabet were first written in pictograph form and each letter assigned a number. Combine these two together forms a basic meaning of numbers and from this other related definitions appear with shades of meaning just like any language defines their words. These 22 letter/number meanings are pretty well established and from this, for other numbers follow certain themes in the bible. These themes go with number found in the bible. Bible itself interprets the numbers. Below are some of online sources for you:

His definitions of 1-10 are too sparse and does not contain the richness of meaning as he left out the letter meanings. Please compare his first 10 with mine listed below which are based on all the data I collected over the years.
