19. in six . . . yea, in seven — ( Proverbs 6:16 ; Amos 1:3 ). The Hebrew idiom fixes on a certain number (here "six"), in order to call attention as to a thing of importance; then increases the force by adding, with a "yea, nay seven," the next higher number; here "seven," the sacred and perfect number. In all possible troubles; not merely in the precise number "seven." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-20" class="com-number"
