numbers associated with Jupiter:
“And such great sanctity is there in the number seven, that it has a preeminent rank beyond all the other numbers in the first decade. For the other numbers, some produce without being produced, others are produced but have no productive power themselves; others again both produce and are produced. But the number seven alone is contemplated in no part. And this proposition we must confirm by demonstration. Now the number one produces all the other numbers in order, being itself produced absolutely by no other; and the number eight is produced by twice four, but itself produces no other nuymber in the decade. Again, four has the rank of both, that is of parents and offspring, for it produces eight when doubled, and it is produced by twice two. But seven alone, as I said before, neither produces nor is produced, on which account other philosophers liken this number to Victory, who has no mother, and to the virgin goddess, whom the fable asserts to have sprung from the head of Jupiter; and the Pythagoreans comare it to the Ruler of all things.” —Philo Judaeus On the Creation of the World
