318 | Abraham, Eliasar and the 318 slaves +Thank you Jeranism @ Truth Frequency Radio

Tobias Dantzig1, a professor of mathematics at the University of Maryland (U.S.A.) explained the phenomenon thus:
"The sum of the numbers represented by the letters of the word was the number of the word, and from the standpoint of Gematria two words were equivalent if they added up to the same number. Not only was Gematria used from the earliest days for the interpretation of Bible passages, but there are indications that the writers of the Bible had practiced the art. Thus Abraham proceeding to rescue his brother Eliasar drives forth 318 slaves. Is it just a coincidence that the Hebrew word Eliasar adds up to 318?"

In last night's interview on Truth Frequency Radio, I was asked about the number '318'.  I told the host I didn't know much about the number but would need to research it.  Here is a starting point.
