112

The number 112 has no well-established or prominent symbolic meaning in biblical or Jewish tradition.

112 is not a number that is highlighted particularly in the Bible or in classical Jewish numerology with an unambiguous symbolic role. The number appears in the Bible as a census figure: In Ezra 2:18, Jorah's descendants are given as 112, and similarly in Nehemiah 7:24 for Hariph's descendants. These occurrences are of genealogical and administrative character and are not attributed symbolic meaning in the biblical text. There is no broad theological or mystical tradition connected to the number 112 as an independent entity.

Teología

Psalm 112 is an acrostic psalm that praises the godly and righteous person. The psalm describes the blessings that follow those who fear the Lord and delight in his commands. Although the content of the psalm is theologically rich, the psalm number itself is normally not attributed independent symbolic value in Jewish or Christian tradition.

Historia

In Ezra 2 and Nehemiah 7 there are parallel census lists of those who returned from the Babylonian exile. Small discrepancies in numbers and names between the two lists have been the subject of significant textual critical discussion.
