88 — Person: Elizabeth

Number: 88

Person: Elizabeth

Action: Greeting Mary; the baby John leaping in her womb

Object: Womb / greeting

Scripture connection: Luke 1:41 — And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:42–43 — And she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"

Memory hook: 88 = Chet-Chet = double fence; Luke 1. Elizabeth and the leaping — the number 88 is the mother of John and the one who recognized the mother of the Lord.

Why this number? 88 = Chet-Chet = double fence; Luke 1. Elizabeth greeted Mary and John leaped; the number 88 ties her to the Hebrew letters and the greeting.
