Round 7: Tossup 6

Each verse of a traditional Passover song asks “who knows” one of these things. In early tarot (“TAIR-oh”) decks, such as the Tarot of Marseilles, The Fool is the only card lacking one of these objects. Through gematria (“geh-MAH-tree-uh”), one of these things associated with the Beast of Revelation got identified with Nero’s name. In a book whose English title (10[1])is named after these things, God told (10[1])one prophet to set a fiery serpent (10[1])on a pole. That book whose English title is named after these things (10[1])features twelve spies sent into Canaan and begins at Mount Sinai. That Biblical book’s English title is named after these things due to censuses taken (10[1])of the Israelites by Moses. For 10 points, the (-5[1])English title of the fourth book (10[1])of the Hebrew Bible is named (10[1])after what things, which include 666? (10[1])■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: numbers [or numeri; or arithmoi; or Book of Numbers; or Liber Numeri; prompt on Bemidbar by asking “what is its English title?”] (While The Fool was unnumbered in early tarot decks, it is usually assigned the number 0 in modern decks.)
