The number 5 in the Bible — Torah · Faith · Grace
חָמֵשׁ
Five is the number of the Torah — five books of Moses — and of things given by favor and received by faith: David's five smooth stones, the five loaves that fed five thousand, the fivefold offerings of Leviticus that gave Israel its grammar of approach to God. Hey, the letter of breath and behold, is the letter God added to Abram and Sarai's names when the promise came by grace.
