Odysseus, still there must be a reason why the author or authors
of the bible picked the number 12 for the apostles.

I’m not sure why that font posted so big. I did not do that intentionally.

Many people get carried way with superstitious numerology.
I’m not one of them.

I just visited this website: http://www.richardphillips.org.uk/number/
There's too much information for me to comment on. When you get to this site, click on the 12 and there's more facts there! It's quite interesting!

Just trying to get to the root of it.

Ariala, I haven't heard of that or don't remember it
I read the New Testament about 25 years ago.

Ben, I'm not sure what that means.
You have the Sun ruling over the 12 signs. That's 13 but it's the number 12 that seems to be all over the place.

Success, and the New Jerusalem, that Revelation talks about, has 12
foundations, if I remember right.

Think about this one for a minute...
If you add Jesus to the 12 Apostles, you get the number 13.

12 Days of Christmas, 12 months in a year, 12 zodialogical signs, 12 eggs in a dozen...now you've got me wondering what the correlation is!

I thought of that but I'm even sure what the 12 tribes of Israel are.

Not sure, but maybe they represented the 12 tribes of Israel?
