This isn’t exhaustive, nor does this hold in every case. Nor does it grant the knower magical powers over the text. It is acliff notes summary of my own reading:
1 = unity, quality
2 = division, quantity
3 = Overcoming the dyad
4 = 4 elements of the earth; or the earth in general. Could also equal 4 sides of a prison
6 = number of man
7 = Sevenfold Spirit.
8 = New creation
9 = Angelic order
10 = ?
12 = Israel/12 Disciples
70 = nations of the world
