4 Rivers of Eden, Genesis 2

Genesis 2:10-14

A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters.

The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.(The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.)

The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.

The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur.

And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

5 Amorite Kings in the time of Joshua

Joshua 10:1-6 Now Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and totally destroyed[a] it, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the people of Gibeon had made a treaty of peace with Israel and had become their allies. He and his people were very much alarmed at this, because Gibeon was an important city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were good fighters. So

Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem appealed to

Hoham king of Hebron,

Piram king of Jarmuth,

Japhia king of Lachish

and Debir king of Eglon.

‘Come up and help me attack Gibeon,’ he said, ‘because it has made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.’ Then the five kings of the Amorites – 

the kings of Jerusalem,

Hebron,

Jarmuth,

Lachish

and Eglon

 – joined forces. They moved up with all their troops and took up positions against Gibeon and attacked it. ... 

22, 23 Joshua said, ‘Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.’ So they brought the five kings out of the cave –

the kings of Jerusalem,

Hebron,

Jarmuth,

Lachish

and Eglon

4 Gibeonite Cities in the time of Joshua

Joshua 10:17
So the Israelites set out and on the third day came to their cities:

Gibeon,
Kephirah,
Beeroth
and Kiriath Jearim.

4 pairs of blessings pronounced on Joseph by Moses

Deuteronomy 33:13-17

About Joseph he said: "May the LORD bless his land

with the precious dew from heaven above

and with the deep waters that lie below;

with the best the sun brings forth

and the finest the moon can yield;

with the choicest gifts of the ancient mountains

and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills;

with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness

and the favour of him who dwelt in the burning bush.

Let all these rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince among his brothers. In majesty he is like a firstborn bull; his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations, even those at the ends of the earth. Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim; such are the thousands of Manasseh."

The first two here are merisms and the other two parallelisms.

197 animals sacrificed as burnt offerings in Ezra 8

Ezra 8:35
Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel:

twelve bulls for all Israel,
ninety-six rams,
seventy-seven male lambs
and, as a sin offering, twelve male goats.

All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.

12 Levites and 5 portions of treasure in Ezra 8

Ezra 8:24-30

Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests, namely,

Sherebiah,

Hashabiah

and ten of their brothers,

I weighed out to them the offering of silver and gold and the articles that the king, his advisers, his officials and all Israel present there had donated for the house of our God. I weighed out to them

650 talents of silver,

silver articles weighing 100 talents,

100 talents of gold,

20 bowls of gold valued at 1,000 darics,

and two fine articles of polished bronze, as precious as gold.

I said to them, "You as well as these articles are consecrated to the LORD. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your ancestors. Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the LORD in Jerusalem before the leading priests and the Levites and the family heads of Israel." Then the priests and Levites received the silver and gold and sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.

38 Levites and 220 Temple servants in Ezra 8

Ezra 8:18-20

Because the gracious hand of our God was on us, they brought us

Sherebiah, a capable man, from the descendants of Mahli son of Levi, the son of Israel, and Sherebiah's sons and brothers, 18 in all;

and Hashabiah, together with Jeshaiah from the descendants of Merari, and his brothers and nephews, 20 in all.

They also brought 220 of the temple servants - a body that David and the officials had established to assist the Levites. All were registered by name.
