Abstract
Of all the symbolic numbers in the Bible, seven is the most prominent in terms of frequency. Seven is especially attested in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Revelation. In the Old Testament, seven is associated with the lord, His temple, and the sacred calendar of the Israelites. In short, seven is the lord’s sacred number. For an explanation of symbolic numbers, see the chart “One, Three, and Seven: Sacred and Symbolic Numbers.”
