Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שֶׁבַע (sheva), which means "seven."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G161 (ἀκαταπαύστως • akatapaustos): While not directly related in meaning, this Greek term signifies something unceasing or continual, which can conceptually relate to the idea of completeness or fullness often associated with the number seven. Usage: This term is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to signify the number seven or a period of seven, such as a week. It can also imply completeness or an indefinite number, reflecting the symbolic significance of the number seven in biblical literature. Context: The Aramaic term שִׁבְעָה (shiv'ah) appears in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods of Israel's history, where Aramaic was commonly used. In the book of Daniel, for example, the term is used in prophetic visions and narratives to denote periods of time, such as weeks or cycles of seven, which often carry symbolic meaning. The number seven is frequently associated with divine perfection and completeness, as seen in the creation narrative and other biblical contexts. In Ezra, the term is used in the context of decrees and official documents, reflecting the administrative language of the Persian Empire. The use of שִׁבְעָה in these contexts underscores the importance of the number seven in conveying theological and eschatological themes.
