As an accountant, I use numbers.
Many people believe accountants are good with numbers. Most accountants would be challenged by differential equations. But basic numbers are our thing.
What we do well is the math that Jethro Bodine of “The Beverly Hillbillies” dazzled the Clampett clan with, such as “goesintas.” That is, four goesintas 16 four times and so on.
The Bible is kind to accountants because it uses numbers within our degree of difficulty. Forty is a big one. How long was Moses in Egypt? How long did Moses wander the desert? How long did the flood last? How long was Jesus tempted? All 40, just days or years.
