12 Bereshith' bara' Elohim' eth hashama'yim ve-eth' ha-a'rets In Hebrew, this verse has seven words and 28 (7 4) letters.

Jesus Christ, God manifested in the flesh, the only begotten Son of God the Father, and the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world, was crucified as the perfect sacrifice to save mankind from sin. Jesus death on Passover completed His ministry in the flesh. Seven represents completion - thus = 14, indicating a double completion: Jesus' ministry in the flesh was completed. Jesus' sacrifice ended or fulfilled the need for animal sacrifices.

27 According to the Hebrew Bible, Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah the Hittite and later of David, king of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah.

FATHERS Bathsheba was a daughter of Eliam, one of David's "thirty" (2 Sam. 23:34; cf 1 Chr. 3:5); Eliam was the son of Ahitophel, one of David's chief advisors. Ahitophel was from Giloh (Josh. 15:51;cf 2 Sam. 15:12), a city of Judah, and thus Bathsheba was from David's own tribe and the granddaughter of one of David's closest advisors (2 Sam.15:12)." She was the mother of Solomon, who succeeded David as king, making her the Queen Mother. 2 Samuel 11
