[
1913 Webster ]
Seven This number occurs frequently in Scripture ,
and in such connections as lead to the supposition that it has some typical meaning .
On the seventh day God rested ,
and hallowed it (
Gen .
2 :
2 ,
3 ).
The division of time into weeks of seven days each accounts for many instances of the occurrence of this number .
This number has been called the symbol of perfection ,
and also the symbol of rest . "
Jacob '
s seven years '
service to Laban ;
Pharaoh '
s seven fat oxen and seven lean ones ;
the seven branches of the golden candlestick ;
the seven trumpets and the seven priests who sounded them ;
the seven days '
siege of Jericho ;
the seven churches ,
seven spirits ,
seven stars ,
seven seals ,
seven vials ,
and many others ,
sufficiently prove the importance of this sacred number " (
see Lev .
25 :
4 ;
1 Sam .
2 :
5 ;
Ps .
12 :
6 ;
79 :
12 ;
Prov .

and the Jubilee (

were all ordered by seven .

of purification and consecration (

and of punishment (
