The number six in biblical numerology often represents humanity and imperfection, which contrasts with the divine perfection symbolized by the number seven. Ammiel's name suggests a connection to the community of God's people, emphasizing the importance of belonging to God's covenant community. This connection is seen throughout Scripture, where names often reflect divine purposes or characteristics (e.g., <a href="/genesis/17-5.htm">Genesis 17:5</a>, where Abram's name is changed to Abraham).<p><b>Issachar the seventh</b><br>Issachar, the seventh son, shares his name with one of the tribes of Israel, known for their understanding of the times and wisdom (<a href="/1_chronicles/12-32.htm">1 Chronicles 12:32</a>). The number seven signifies completeness and divine perfection, indicating a special blessing or role. This connection to the tribe of Issachar may imply a heritage of wisdom and discernment, qualities valued in the service of God. The tribe of Issachar was also known for their labor and reward (<a href="/genesis/49-14.htm">Genesis 49:14-15</a>), which could reflect the diligent service expected of Obed-edom's descendants.<p><b>Peullethai the eighth</b><br>Peullethai, the eighth son, bears a name that means "work of Jehovah" or "God's work." The number eight often symbolizes new beginnings or a new order, as seen in the resurrection of Jesus on the first day of the new week. This suggests a fresh start or divine intervention in the lineage of Obed-edom. The emphasis on God's work aligns with the biblical theme of God accomplishing His purposes through His people (<a href="/philippians/2-13.htm">Philippians 2:13</a>).<p><b>For God had blessed Obed-edom</b><br>Obed-edom, a Levite, was notably blessed by God for housing the Ark of the Covenant (<a href="/2_samuel/6-11.htm">2 Samuel 6:11</a>). This blessing extended to his household, signifying God's favor and presence. The Ark represented God's covenant and His dwelling among His people, and Obed-edom's willingness to host it demonstrated faith and reverence. This blessing is a testament to the principle that God's presence brings prosperity and protection (<a href="/psalms/16-11.htm">Psalm 16:11</a>).
