This item has its own classification as ATU 2010 Ehad mi yodea, and you can find other number-based religious items there, like the wonderful Christmas carol Children, Go Where I Send Thee! Meanwhile, the "Twelve Days of Christmas" carol is a subclass of this same type: 2010A (which also contains secular number-series like The Gaping, Wide-mouthed, Waddling Frog).
