Psalms 12:6 (ESV)
The words of the LORD are pure words,
like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.
The words of God are revealed according to the purity and maturity of the reader. Multiple readings can yield different thoughts and interpretations which meet us where are.
Sanctification is our transformation and refinement into the image of the nature of our Lord. Seven is the number of perfection. We persevere toward that ideal as we sojourn through the wilderness of the world. We will be perfected when we are resurrected into the fullness of His likeness.
