- פַּעַם paʻam · H6471 · foot, footstep, hoofbeat
- Hebrew פַּעַם (paʻam, H6471) denotes an occurrence or instance ('time' in the sense of 'one time, two times'), forming the semantic basis for numerical expressions of repetition; Greek ἑπτάκις (heptákis, G2034) is the specific adverbial form for 'seven times,' constructing repetition through the multiplicative suffix -κις rather than a separate count noun.
- שֶׁבַע shebaʻ · H7651 · seven, seventy
- Hebrew noun שֶׁבַע denotes the cardinal number 'seven' (often appearing in construct or phrasal contexts indicating 'seven times' or 'sevenfold'), corresponding directly to the Greek adverbial form ἑπτάκις 'seven times' when expressing iteration or multiplication by seven.
