In numerology, seven is a philosophical number. Seven also is significant in the Bible. Among some examples: There were six days of creation and the seventh day of rest. When Peter asks Jesus, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answers, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times." And in the book of Genesis, God promised that "if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." According to the Penguin Dictionary of Symbols, the number seven figures prominently in other religions as well. A Jewish bride traditionally circles the groom seven times under their wedding canopy. Passover lasts seven days in Israel. In Islam, there are seven heavens, seven earths, seven seas and seven divisions of hell.
