Spirituality and the Number 7

Hashem, who has seventy names, gave the Torah, which has seventy names, to Israel, which has seventy names, which originated from seventy people who went down to Egypt with Jacob, and was chosen from among seventy nations, to celebrate seventy holy days in the year (52 Sabaths plus all the days of the festivals totaling 18 ). The Torah was transmitted to seventy elders and safeguarded by the Sanhedrin of seventy Sages who were called, the eyes of the community. The Torah was translated into seventy languages to make it understandable to the seventy nations and was engraved on seventy stones after Israel crossed the Jordon on their way to the Holy Land. In the Holy City of Jerusalem, which had seventy names, they built the Temple, which had seventy pillars. There on Sukkot seventy sacrifices were offered for the sake of seventy nations. So we can see the importance of the number 70!
