From the Paper:
"The number seven is significant in almost every culture but the reason for this significance is too obscure to be explained. Some have suggested that it comes from the Seven planets but the number is significant among peoples who are ignorant of Seven planets. Others suggest that it comes from the Four phases of moon which come in periods of Seven days, the week therefore is the original number from which the significance is derived. Seven as a meaningful number appears in Mesopotamia, Egypt and Canaan. The number seven in secular sense is accepted as complete or to the full."Sample of Sources Used:
