Well, I don't know about Hebrew. But at least some of the languages that use Arabic script (there are many) write the sentences and words from right to left, but the numbers from left to right. I have no idea about Chinese/Japanese etc. But I think that left to right for numbers, while not universal, is possibly the most known version.
