In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB ordinarily presents the quantity with “seven” before a plural referent, such as “seven days,” “seven brothers,” or “seven heads.” In Mark 8:20, it also renders the term alone as “Seven”; These English expressions confirm the verse-level quantity rather than supplying a separate lexical sense.
