The Bible is a collection of canonical sacred texts of Judaism and Christianity.Different religious groups include different books within their canons, in different orders, and sometimes divide or combine books, or incorporate additional material into canonical books.
The Bible as used by Christianity consists of two parts: The Old Testament, largely the same as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible. The New Testament. The four canonical Gospels. (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) The Acts of the Apostles recounts the early history of the Christian movement. The Epistles are letters to the various early Christian communities.
Examples include the seven days of creation and so seven days that make up a week, and the seven lamps on the Temple Menorah. One variation on the use of seven is the use of the number six in numerology, used as a final hallmark in a series leading to a seven (e.g. mankind is created on the sixth day in Genesis, out of the seven days of creation).
