The number 7

[Cheetah]

God uses the number 7 quite a lot in the Bible, is there a reason why it's this number? I remember being told once that the number 7 is the 'perfect number' - is this true?

God felt like it.

God did it to make people ask stupid questions, like "God uses the number 7 quite a lot in the Bible, is there a reason why it's this number?"

But is it correct to call it the 'perfect' number? After all, God chose Israel too and it's not perfect.

I just guess there are some questions that we don't know the answer to.
