Tossup

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. (10[1])Through gematria (“geh-MAH-tree-uh”), one of these things associated with the Beast of Revelation got identified with Nero’s name. (10[1])In a book whose English title (10[1])is named after these things, (10[1])God told one prophet to set a fiery serpent on a pole. That book whose English title is named after these things 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 of the (10[1])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■

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.)
