And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he
rested on the seventh
day from all his work which he had made.
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he
had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to
thee by sevens,
the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and
his female.

the face of all the earth.
For yet seven days,
and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and
every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the
earth.
And it came to pass after seven days,

lambs of the flock by themselves.

have digged this well.

And, behold, there came up out of the
river seven well
favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
And, behold, seven other
kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and
stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
And the ill favoured and leanfleshed
kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
And he slept and dreamed the second
time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
And, behold, seven thin
ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
And the seven thin
ears devoured the seven rank
and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
And, behold, there came up out of the
river seven kine,
fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:

kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I
never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
And the lean and the ill favoured kine did
eat up the first seven fat kine:
And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears
came up in one stalk, full and good:
And, behold, seven ears,
withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
And the thin ears devoured the seven good
ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare
it to me.
The seven good
kine are seven years;
and the seven good
ears are seven years:
the dream is one.
And the seven thin
and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years;
and the seven empty
ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years
of famine.
Behold, there come seven years
of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
And there shall arise after them seven years
of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the
famine shall consume the land;
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him
appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt
in the seven plenteous
years.
And that food shall be for store to the
land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of
Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

years the earth brought forth by handfuls.

Seven days
shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out
of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until
the seventh
day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
And in the first day there shall be an
holy convocation, and in the seventh
day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done
in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
Seven days
shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which
is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel,
whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
Seven days
thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast
to the Lord.
Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days;
and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be
leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be
none.
And it came to pass, that there went
out some of the people on the seventh
day for to gather, and they found none.
See, for that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you
on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no
man go out of his place on the seventh
day.
So the people rested on the seventh day.
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou,
nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy
cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the seventh
day: wherefore the Lord blessed
the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six
years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen,
and with thy sheep: seven days
it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that
the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field
shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy
oliveyard.
Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on
the seventh
day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy
handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened
bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days,
as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou
camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
And he said unto Moses, Come up unto
the Lord,
thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar
off.
Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab,
and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it
six days: and the seventh
day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over
against it.

stead shall put them on seven days,
when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy
place.

to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days
shalt thou consecrate them.
Seven days
thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an
altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he
shall surely be put to death.
It is a sign between me and the
children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
The feast of unleavened bread shalt
thou keep. Seven days
thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month
Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in
harvest thou shalt rest.
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath
of rest to the Lord:
whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
And he made his seven lamps,
and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.

some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times
before the Lord,
even before the vail.

and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to
sanctify them.
And ye shall not go out of the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days,
until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days
shall he consecrate you.
Therefore shall ye abide at the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days,
and keep the charge of the Lord,
that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
Speak unto the children of Israel,

of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be
not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:
And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be
at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut
him up seven days
more:
And the priest shall look on him again
the seventh
day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in
the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall
wash his clothes, and be clean.
But if the priest look on it, and,
behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin,
but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the
other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
And if the priest look on the plague of
the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there
is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague
of the scall seven days:
And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and,
behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall
be not in sight deeper than the skin;
He shall be shaven, but the scall shall
he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven
days more:
And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and,
behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the
skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes,
and be clean.
And the priest shall look upon the
plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days:
And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment,
either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made
of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.
Then the priest shall command that they
wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
And he shall sprinkle upon him that is
to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times,
and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the
open field.
And he that is to be cleansed shall
wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that
he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry
abroad out of his tent seven days.
But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his
head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and
he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall
be clean.

finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with
his finger seven times
before the Lord:
And the priest shall sprinkle with his
right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times
before theLord:
Then the priest shall go out of the
house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

be spread in the walls of the house;
And he shall take the cedar wood, and
the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of
the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days
for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water,
and shall be clean.

issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days:

and after that she shall be clean.

bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and

is brought forth, then it shall be seven days
under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for

Ye shall therefore describe the land
into seven parts,
and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here
before the Lord our
God.

thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy
father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?

locks of his head; and she began to
afflict him, and his strength went from him.

seals thereof.

thunders uttered, and write them not.

Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

It is done.

which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come
hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon
many waters:

into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full
of names of blasphemy, having seven heads
and ten horns.

that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads
and ten horns.
