Significance in the sources
Genesis 14:14 says Abram armed “three hundred and eighteen” men of his household (Genesis 14:14). One opinion in the Talmud says the verse means Eliezer, Abram’s servant, alone, “as the numerical value of his name is this amount”: אליעזר = א 1 + ל 30 + י 10 + ע 70 + ז 7 + ר 200 = 318 (Nedarim 32a).
