The Number is 4 is Number 4
The Number is 5 is Number 5
The Number is 6 is Number 6

this can be done with for loop ...

Code:
 
$ for i in 1 2 3 4 5
> do
> echo "the number $i is number $i"
> done
the number 1 is number 1
the number 2 is number 2
the number 3 is number 3
the number 4 is number 4
the number 5 is number 5

In the for loop, you do something like this also.

Code:
 
for i in $(seq 10) # if you have seq command in your system
