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 rituals.<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. The use of seven in various biblical contexts underscores its importance in religious and cultural practices, such as the seven feasts of Israel and the sevenfold sprinkling of blood in sacrificial rituals.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7651.htm">sheba</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>seven<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>seven (7).<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> [<font class="hebrew2">שְׁבַע</font>], only <font class="hebrew2">שִׁבְעָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>seven</b></font> (Biblical Hebrew I. <font class="hebrew2">שֶׁבַע</font>);
