Biblical numerology claims that numbers in the Bible have symbolic significance. The numbers 3, 7 and 40 are of particular interest apparently.
Thinking about this logically, Numerology is an ancient system used for many centuries all across the world. The Bible is thought by some to have far deeper meaning than the stories it tells. For instance you may have come across The BIBLE CODE? This claims to reveal that there are highly significant prophesies encrytpted within the text of the Bible.
I've read this book and it blew my mind, even though it sounded highly ludicrous when I first heard about it.

If you follow the link below you can see for example how the number 3 occurs many, many times in very meaningful ways throughout the Bible. Two of the most significant uses of this number must surely be the Holy Trinity and the 3 Named Archangels.
