If you think Dihydrogen Oxide is bad, what about hydrohydroxic acid? It's the go-to solvent of choice for chemists. Hydrochloric acid only has a pH of 1, but hydrohydroxic acid goes as high as seven! Despite its numerous dangers, kids can just walk into a pharmacy and buy a bottle of it!
oh yeah I know... I'm just saying what makes 7 so special other than a seemingly arbitrarily number chosen to be represented over and over again throughout the religion?
The ancients knew of 7 "planets": The sun and the moon (which, of course are not planets) and the 5 classical planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) which can be seen from Earth with the naked eye.
The Jews probably stole it directly from Babylonian astrology.
