@Eldo^ THose are just the first ten letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The first one is called Aleph and when you see it in detail, it doesn’t look that much like a Latin ‘X’ (and, of course, the Greek X is a chi, which is where Xmas comes from). The six (Vav) looks like the Latin ‘I’ and the four (Dalet) looks like a ‘7’.

So where did the Roman numerals come from? Even if you believe in biblical historicity Moses predates Rome.

Yeah, Coyote! Runar, where did the Romans get their numbering system? Maybe someone passed them across the generations until they had a use for them.

Ifant - they got it from the Etruscans, who derived it from their alphabet. The Hebrew numerals for one through ten are:
א ,ב ,ג ,ד,ה ,ו ,ז ,ח ,ט ,י
Of course, you have to remember to read them right to left, not left to right.
