In Capernaum, Jesus set up his ministry headquarters, but he did not operate like a typical rabbi. He taught using parables, he performed miracles on the Sabbath, he associated with sinners. In one of his teachings, he used the number *490* to instruct Peter how many times to forgive. Rabbi Sobel explains the significance of the number *490*, and explores key Hebrew terms in Scripture with that same numeric value that tie together to convey a powerful and unforgettable lesson.
