The number 17 in the Bible — Victory Rising Out of Judgment

שְׁבַע עֶשְׂרֵה

shva esreh · Greek: δεκαεπτά — dekaepta

The flood prevailed from the seventeenth of the second month and the ark rested on the seventeenth of the seventh month — a date later festival reckoning places in the season of resurrection. Joseph was seventeen when his suffering-unto-salvation began. The 153 fish of John 21 is the triangle of 17. Observations, not doctrines.
