The Fibonacci Number Series, and “Phi”, the “Golden Ratio”, are part of the Bible. Jesus, as per one of our recent posts, named Peter The Apostle in such a way that Peter’s name incorporated part of the (Lower) 42 Letter Name and the Fibonacci Number 2584.
The Series is “infinite”. We can generate it from “0” and “1”. We simply add them together to generate the “next” number in the series. So 0 + 1 = 1, giving us a series that started as 0,1 but has now become 0, 1, 1
0, 1
becomes
0,1,1
We now take the last two numbers (which are now (1, 1), then add them to get a 2. So 2 becomes the next (4th) number in the series.
0, 1, 1
has become
0, , 1, 2
We repeat the process, now adding 2 and 1 to get a 3.
So 0, 1,1, 2,
has become
0, 1, 1, 2, 3
We continue the additions. 2 + 3 gives us 5. Then 5 + 3 gives us 8.
Some people prefer to “start” the series from 1, thinking that there was “nothing else”, so 1 plus nothing still generates 1 as the next Fibonacci Number. God seems to have allowed for both “methods”, putting Simon Peter’s name as the 18th or 19th Fibonacci Number depending on where we start, i.e. from “0” or from “1”.
18 is associated with LIFE and Water (essential for Life as we know it in the physical world of humans and animals). Eve’s name is 19. There is a “trick” to what Adam named her. She was hardly the “Mother of Life”, because she was the last being created according to the Genesis story. But she was the mother of the death that came into our world, so at least in that sense, she was the mother of all mortal life. By the time Adam named her, “all living” were on a path to death, so he was not being inaccurate.
On a deeper level, humans were created “in the image of God”, so they had primacy. She was part of the first human, so in that sense she was the female energy/human creativity that preceded the creation of other living things. Torah tradition has it that the template for the land of Israel and the Earth was made “in Heaven” before anything else (Heaven included). It was then “cast upon” physical space-time, and only then was “Heaven” completed. The meaning behind the “story” is that our level of creation is #1, i.e. that we ARE made in the image of God, just like the “Book” says.

Note that several of these Fibonacci Numbers have “Biblical” and/or Mathematical” significance:
For instance, the successive numbers 3, 5 and 8 occur one after another in the digits of “pi”:
3.14159265358 . . . .
These numbers as the “number” 358 give the value of the Hebrew word Mashiach (Messiah).
21 is the value of the Divine Name Ehyeh (used by God at the “Burning Bush”.
55 is twice the 27.5 (inches) of the Cubit used in The Great Pyramid and in Ezekiel’s Future Temple. 55 is also a distance that as a subdivision of a mile (1760 yards) and distances derived from the Mile (440 yards, 220 yards etc) once was in common use.
89 was Sarah’s age when she rejuvenated and became pregnant.
144 as in the “proverbial” 144,000 and the mirror image of 441 (the value of Emet – Truth) is very “Biblical”
233 is the value of the term “The Tree of Life” in Hebrew, and the distance (in those 27.5″ Cubits) from the corner(s) of the Great Pyramid to its centre (at Ground level).
