#46 - 276 And The Hope Of Israel Podcast (Acts 27:37)

This video is part of a series on the Sea of Galilee but we are taking a detour to talk about another "triangle number" found in the book of Acts. For more on triangle numbers - like 153 fish in John 21 - see Sea of Galilee part 8 and 9: part 8: https://youtu.be/j2fZX1ZQp8Q part 9: https://youtu.be/rNkc1AZgEV4 Why does Luke include the number of crew members (276) aboard the ship that he and Paul are traveling on to Rome? The number 276 happens to be a triangle number (the triangle of 23). Additionally, there is a Hebrew phrase in Jeremiah 23 that adds up to 276. The phrase is unique and speaks to the hope that we can place in God's promise of deliverance. Join us for a deep dive into Luke's use of this number.
