The meaning of the number seven in the Bible

The Bible is full of numbers. Some are very big, like the total number of the Israelites who left Egypt, and some are very small, like the one God himself. But perhaps no biblical number is as special as the number seven. Time and time again in Scripture, important things happen in sevens. Why is this? The answer is in the original Hebrew word for seven.
