Re: Genesis: Some questions
On the seven days thing, seven connotes completion and/or perfection. There are many examples in religious and secular literature as well as popular culture.
Seven deadly sins, seven cardinal virtues, seven days of the week, the seven seas, the seven voyages of Sindbad, the seven dwarves, yadda yadda yadda. Shooting craps, seven comes up most often.
