Genesis 2:9,
And the Lord God caused to sprout from the ground every tree pleasant to see and good to eat, and the Tree of Life in the midst of the garden, and the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.
https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/8166

Tree of Life "etz hachayim" ( עֵ֤ץ הַֽחַיִּים֙ ) = 233
Tree of Knowledge of good and evil "etz hadat tov vara" ( עֵ֕ץ הַדַּ֖עַת ט֥וֹב וָרָֽע ) = 932

932 = 4 x 233

Now you might see the tree of life as the oneness of the four (directions) and thus also as counting-principle

1+2+3+4 = 10 -- (10 being 1 on a higher level)

oneness that was broken with the eating from the tree of knowledge , i.e. the original sin

In Genesis 1:11 God had asked the earth to sprout "fruit tree producing fruit "
butin v. 12 the earth brought forth "tree producing fruit" and next it was said "and God saw that it was good"

good "tov"( טֽוֹב ) = 17
the word "tov" in Genesis 1:12 is 153rd word from the beginning (you can count after!)
153 the number of the great fish that were dragged ashore in John 21:11
The number that asked for explanation
just like the number 666 in Revelation 13:18

Now you might also see the "fruit tree producing fruit" as the tree of life encompassing the "tree producing fruit"

and the number of 153 great fish as alluding to the ultimate forgiveness of sin.

John 21:11
ἀνέβη οὖν Σίμων Πέτρος καὶ εἵλκυσεν τὸ δίκτυον εἰς τὴν γῆν μεστὸν ἰχθύων μεγάλων ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα τριῶν· καὶ τοσούτων ὄντων οὐκ ἐσχίσθη τὸ δίκτυον.

ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα τριῶν Greek gematria 2590

259 = 1/3 x 777
777 Alexander's lucky number ;)

εἵλκυσεν τὸ δίκτυον εἰς τὴν γῆν
ἕλκω to draw

also in John 6:44
οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐλθεῖν πρός με ἐὰν μὴ ὁ πατὴρ ὁ πέμψας με ἑλκύσῃ αὐτόν, κἀγὼ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.

https://biblehub.com/john/12-32.htm

and in LXX Song of Songs 1:4
εἵλκυσάν σε,
ὀπίσω σου εἰς ὀσμὴν μύρων σου δραμοῦμεν.
Εἰσήνεγκέν με ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς τὸ ταμιεῖον αὐτοῦ.
Ἀγαλλιασώμεθα καὶ εὐφρανθῶμεν ἐν σοί,
ἀγαπήσομεν μαστούς σου ὑπὲρ οἶνον·
εὐθύτης ἠγάπησέν σε.

οὐκ ἐσχίσθη τὸ δίκτυον -- the net was not torn.
