Seven:
whence Eng. words beginning with hept--, corresponds to the Heb. sheba' (which is akin to saba', signifying "to be full, abundant"), sometimes used as an expression of fullness, e.g., Rth 4:15: it generally expresses completeness, and is used most frequently in the Apocalypse; it is not found in the Gospel of John, nor between the Acts and the Apocalypse, except in Hbr 11:30 (in Rom 11:4 the numeral is heptakischilioi, "seven thousand"); in Mat 22:26 it is translated "seventh" (marg., "seven").
Note: In 2Pe 2:5, RV, "Noah with seven others" is a translation into idiomatic English of the Greek idiom "Noah the eighth person" (so AV, translating literally).
See EIGHTH.
