Answers:

(Rev 1:4) x (Gen 37:9) = (7) x (11) = 77
(Num 32:13; Ex 16:35) + (Jer 25; Dan 9:2; Zec 7:5) = (40) + (70) = 110
(Gen 1:20-23) x (John 2:6) = (5) x (6) = 30
Gen 41:2-4) / (Rev 5:1) = (14) / (7) = 2
(Rev 7:4) / (Rev 21:16) = (144000) / (12000) = 12
(Luke 13:4) + (Luke 17:12) = (18) + (10) = 28
(Matt 15:34) x (Matt 14:17) = (7) x (5) = 35
(Gen 5:5) - (Luke 3:23) = (930) - (30) = 900
(Mark 2:3) + (Matt 14:20) = (4) + (12) = 16
(Rev 13:18) / (Josh 2:4) = (666) / (2) = 333
