About this number
Only seven months reach this date, and its digits, 3 and 1, make 4. It is the mirror of the 13th, which also adds to 4. Clement counts both among the Fours, along with the 4th and 22nd, and gives the 31st E major, a half step under the F major of the 4th.
Westcott records 31 as the value of El, a Hebrew word for God, from 1 plus 30, and as the count of kings slain by Joshua. It is also prime in his classification. Sepharial's list for name totals has goodness, aspiration and publicity. Balliett's builders of the 4 attach to the digit alone.
