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.
This sounds rather like all those 9/11 numerical "coincidences" that very bored people invent [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img], but an interesting point nonetheless.

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.
