number - Arba'a Ve'esrim Ushlosh Meyot?


Who knows three hundred twenty-four?


?ארבעה ועשרים ושלוש מאות - מי יודע


The traditional Passover song "Echad" implies a possible presupposition that there is a Jewish significance to be found for each natural number. Accordingly, there is an ongoing series on Mi Yodeya that is attempting to unearth significant Judaism facts about each number, in sequence.


What significant Judaism facts are there about the number 324? The more significant within Judaism and the more intrinsically dependent on the value 324, the stronger the answer. Please include sources for your information wherever possible, as with all other answers on this site.



While lazy gematria might find you a match, it's unlikely to be a high-quality one.



Answer



324 was the number of men present at the meal with the three angels who visited Avrohom - Avrohom, Yishmael, Eliezer, the three angels, and the 318 trained men of Avrohom that are mentioned in Bereishis 14:14, as discussed in this post.
