Seven

What's the significance of seven in the bible?

Extracted from http://www.biblestudy.org/ :
As a number the actual word and number "Seven" is used as no other number is. Seven and its compounds occur in multiples of seven in the Old Testament.
  • Seven occurs 287 times, or 7 x 41.
  • "Seventh," the fractional part, occurs 98 times, or 7 x 14.
  • "Seven-fold," occurs 7 times.
  • The above three numbers together are of course a multiple of seven, but a very remarkable one, 287 + 98 + 7 = 392, and 392 is 72 + 73, or 8 times the square of seven (72x8).
  • Then again seven, in combination with other numbers, is remarkable, such as Fifty and seven, a Hundred and seven, etc. There are 112 of these combinations, or 7 x 16.
  • "Seventy" occurs 56 times, or 7 x 8.
  • "Seventy," in combination with other numbers, occurs 35 times, or 7 x 5.
It is, however, when we come to consider its significance that the true glories of its spiritual perfection are revealed.
