In respect to life and its divisions, they remarked the
ages are measured by the number 7.
In the first 7 years the teeth are erupted.
Second 7 years comes an ability to emit prolific seed.
Third 7 years, the growth of the beard as manhood.
Fourth 7 years, strength reaches its maximum.
Fifth 7 years is the season of for marriage.
Sixth 7 years, the height of intelligence arrives.
Seventh 7 years, the maturity of reason.
Eighth 7 years, perfection of both.
Ninth 7 years, equity and mildness, passions become
gentle.
Tenth 7 years, the end of desirable life.
Some philosophers have said that our souls have 7 foci
in the material body, viz., the five senses, the voice and
the generative power.
The body has seven obvious parts, the head, chest, abdomen,
two legs and two arms.
There are seven internal organs, stomach, liver, heart,
lungs, spleen and two kidneys.
The ruling part, the head, has seven parts for external
use, two eyes, two ears, two nostrils and a mouth.
There are seven things seen, body, interval, magnitude,
color, motion and permanency.
There are seven inflections of the voice, the acute, grave,
circumflex, rough, smooth, the long and the short
sounds.
The hand makes seven motions; up and down, to the
right and left, before and behind, and circular.
There are seven evacuations; tears from the eyes, mucous
of the nostrils, the saliva, the semen, two excretions
and the perspiration.
Modern medical knowledge corroborates the ancient
dictum that in the seventh month the human offspring
becomes viable.
Menstruation tends to occur in series of four times
seven days, and is certainly related to Luna in an occult
manner.
The lyre has 7 strings, corresponding to the Seven Planets.
There are 7 vowels in English and some other tongues.
Theon of Smyrna also notices that an average length of
an adult’s intestine is 28 feet, four times seven, and 28
also is a perfect number.
The number 7 is also associated with Voice and Sound,
with Clio the Muse; with Osiris the Egyptian deity; with
Nemesis, Fate, --Adrastia, not to be escaped from; and
with Mars.
The Seven Wonders of the World are thus enumerated:
1. Pyramids of Egypt.
2 . The hanging Gardens of Babylon, for Semiramis.
3 . Tomb of Mausolus, King of Caria, at Halicarnassus,
built by Artemisia, his Queen.
4 . Temple of Diana at Ephesus, 552 B.C. Ctesiphonwas the chief architect.
5. Colossus of Rhodes, an image of the Sun God,Apollo, of brass, 290 B.C.
6 . Statue of Zeus, at Athens, by Phidias.
7. Pharos of Egypt, built by Ptolemy Philadelphus,
of white marble, 283 B.C.; or the Palace of Cyrus
which is sometimes substituted.
Sapta Rishi, seven sages. Sapta Kula, 7 castes; Sapta
Loka, seven worlds; Sapta Para, 7 cities; Sapta Dwipa,
seven holy islands; Sapta Arania, 7 deserts; Sapta Parna,
7 human principles; Sapta Samudra, seven holy seas;
Sapta Vruksha, 7 holy trees.
After Birth, the 7th hour decides whether the child will
live, in 7 days the cord falls off, in twice 7 days the eyes
follow a light, thrice 7 days turns the head, 7 months
gets teeth, twice 7 months sits firmly, thrice 7 months
begins to talk, after 4 times 7 months walks strongly.
After 7 years, teeth of second set appear.
After 14 years is the arrival of generative power.
After 21 years, the hair of Manhood is completed.
After 28 we cease to grow, at 35 is greatest strength, at
49 is the greatest discretion, and 70 is the natural end of
Life.
The Bava Kama says that after 7 years a male hyena becomes
a bat, in another 7 years a Vampire, after another
a Thorn, and after another is turned into a demon. If a
man fails to pray devoutly for 7 years, his spine after
death becomes a serpent.
The 7 Catholic Deadly Sins are Pride, covetousness, lust,
anger, gluttony, envy and sloth.
The 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Isaiah xi. v. 2, are Wisdom,
Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge,
Piety and Fear of the Lord. These are seven of the
Kabalistic Sephiroth.
