The cardinal number fourteen, appearing exclusively in structured chronological contexts. Matthew organizes Jesus' genealogy into three sets of fourteen generations (Matt 1:17, cited three times), a theologically significant arrangement since fourteen is the numerical value of David's name in Hebrew (dalet-waw-dalet = 4+6+4). Paul uses it to mark the span of fourteen years since a visionary experience (2 Cor 12:2) and fourteen years before his consultation with the Jerusalem apostles (Gal 2:1). All four target languages use a straightforward equivalent — Spanish 'catorce,' French 'quatorze,' German 'vierzehn.'
