An Abbreviated List of Biblical Sevens
I have not included every instance of a collection of seven. I lumped multiple instances of the same collection together, such as various commands concerning Unleavened Bread or Sukkot. I also ignored historical statements that didn't seem to put any special emphasis on "7", such as "in the seventh year of the reign of so-and-so." Feel free to let me know if I missed any.
