If you add 3+7+9 = 19. 19 represents faith. 19 is the numbers 1 and 9 which equals 10. 10 reprensents testimony, law and responsibilty. The number 10 is made up of 1 and 0, the number 1 represents unity and 0 represents eternity.

Certainly Tolkien would not have randomly chosen such important factors. It would be ridiculous and illogical to spend so much time working out the inconsistencies of a mythology and then not hide meaning behind every stone and grassblade.
