Number 37 sits in Genesis 1:1, of which gematria 2701 (= 37 x 73) dicovered for maybe only 30 years ago , Richard Amiel McGough claiming he was the one to find , but in the same time also found by others (Vernon Jenkins), Christians who looked for proof of Jesus' divinity
However it be, since the beginning of time (that the Torah was written) Genesis 1:1 has shown the same 2701
That gematria should be invented only around the beginning of Christian era, or even later, is not true , since Genesis 14:14 mentions the gematria of the name Eliezer
Genesis 14 being about the war, "mother of all wars", where Abram gained victory over the four kings with help of his 318 trained servants, after the Hagadah shel Pesach in the middle of the night of Passover
So that makes plausible:
"besorah" = gospel, (good) tidings
from the root "basar"= flesh
is related to "milchamah" = war
from the root "lechem" = bread
Even to the "mother of all wars", of Genesis 14, where Melchizedek brought out bread and wine jewishlink.news/divrei-torah/1…

John 1:15,
Ἰωάννης μαρτυρεῖ περὶ αὐτοῦ (= the word that became flesh)
καὶ κέκραγεν λέγων, Οὗτος ἦν ὃν εἶπον, Ὁ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος ἔμπροσθέν μου γέγονεν, ὅτι πρῶτός μου ἦν
Οὗτος ἦν also in John 1:2,
οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν
cf. Rashi on Genesis 1:1
in the beginning it was his intention to create it with the standard of justice, but he perceived that the world would not endure; so he preceded it with the standard of mercy, allying it with the standard of justice
Although man only was created on the sixth day, as resurrected one he was already present on the first, because of which the first day was called "yom echad" = day one
Rashi:
Why does it write אחד “one”? Because the holy one, blessed be he, was only one (יָחִיד "yachid") in his world, since the angels were not created until the second day.
"Im hebräischen Urtext stünden nicht die Substantive "Mann" und "Frau" ("isch" und "ischah"), sondern die Adjektive "männlich" und "weiblich" ("zakar" und "neqebah"), so Schwienhorst-Schönberger. Das ändere jedoch nichts am Gesamtverständnis (...)"katholisch.de/artikel/47430-…
Jedoch er hat nicht gut gelesen
Genesis 2:23,
"wajomer haadam" und der Mensch (der männlich und weiblich Geschaffene) sagte: "(...) und diese wird Frau, "ischah" genannt werden, denn diese ist vom Mann ("mei-isch") genommen
Genesis 3:6,
"wateirè haischah" - und die Frau (die weibliche Seite des Menschen) sah dass de Baum gut sei zum Essen, us.w. sefaria.org/Genesis.3.6?la…
The numerical value of Genesis 1:1, i.e. the sum of the values of the 28 lettters with which it is written, is 2701, a remarkable number since 2701 = triangle 73
Just that he went into the mist with comparing Hebrew gematria with Greek to claim that it is about Jesus Christ:
Word 7 (translated ‘earth’) has the value 296 (= 8x37) – and, most appropriately, we find this to be a factor of both Name and Title of the Lord Jesus Christ
But there is some other thing about it, viz. that in the first verse of Genesis there is mentioning of "elohim" and not of "hashem"
