In the Bible, the number seven often symbolizes completeness, perfection, and divine order. It is frequently used in contexts that emphasize God's covenant, creation, and sacred time periods.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, numbers held significant symbolic meanings. The number seven, in particular, was associated with divine perfection and completion. This is evident in the biblical creation narrative, where God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh, establishing the Sabbath as a day of rest and holiness. The recurrence of the number seven in various biblical contexts underscores its importance in conveying theological truths about God's nature and His relationship with creation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3427.htm">yashab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a sojourn<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>stayed (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
