Nothing in the Bible is without meaning even numbers, usually though these are mostly symbolic in nature such as the Triune God,Father ,Son and Holy Spirit.
Even the fasting of Christ in the desert may not literally mean 40 days but more likely a symbolic meaning of an acceptable amount of time.

In the Bible, 3 is usually the number for emphasis.
6-the number for imperfection
7-for heavanly perfection or completeness.
10-for earthly completeness
This is a little thing I learned as a child. Comes in handy.

And here I was always under the belief that 7 was the significant number in the bible. maybe because I used to be a 7th Day Adventist therefore had a lot of self-importance issues, perhaps?

No. The Australian Aboriginal can still only count to three. His heritage is a few million years older than most Bible-bashers will admit ever happened.
An ABo counts like this....1.....2.....3.....Big Mob.....!
As our intelligence increased, we realised that we have FIVE fingers...then we discovered TWO hands...and found out about TEN. Then (miracle!) we took off our shoes and socks and discovered......! !
The fact that the Bible only goes as far as three, shows how "out of date" it really is

The atom defines the most basic unit of every chemical element in the universe. The word atom comes from the Greek word for "indivisible," yet while it represents the purest essence of one element, the atom has three facets, with the positively charged proton and neutral neutron at its core, and the negatively charged electron outside the core that balances its electric charge and interacts with other elements.
Trisecting a line as the basis for design in creationLife
The physical design of the human body, and that of many other life forms, is based on a relationship known as the Divine Proportion, or Golden Section. This proportion is based on trisecting a line such that the ratio of the small piece to the large piece is the same as the ratio of the large piece to the entire line. It is also found by solving an equation with three terms, x3 - x2 - x1 = 0.
Nature of man
The nature of man is expressed as mind, body and spirit, analogous to, and in the image of, the triune nature of God. It's interesting to note that Genesis relates man being made by "us" in "our" image when referring to God, indicating the plurality in His nature.
Life on Earth
Life on Earth inhabits three domains, the sea, the land and the air.
Holy Trinity
Following the three-in-one nature that is found throughout creation, we find the three-in-one nature of the One God manifested in the Holy Trinity, with each Being revealing a different aspect of our God and Creator to us:
The Father, the part of God that is transcendent, infinite and beyond our understanding,
The Son, Jesus Christ, the part of God that is immanent and appeared to us in the way that we could best know Him, in human form. He was both "Son of God," an expression of God as contained in human form, and at the same time "Son of Man," the ultimate expression of who we can be in our most divine form.
The Holy Spirit, the part of God that lives in the heart and soul of each of us, acting as our Counselor for those who believe and listen to His voice within us.

No, it probably has to do with the Holy Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
