Round 9: 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. (10[2])In (10[1])a book whose English title is named after these things, God told one prophet to set a fiery serpent on a pole. (10[1])That book whose English title is named after these things features twelve (10[1])spies sent into Canaan and begins at Mount Sinai. (10[1])That Biblical book’s English title is named after these things due to censuses (10[1])taken of the Israelites by Moses. For 10 points, the English title of the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible is named after what things, which include 666? ■END■
