This is a rare variant form of the Hebrew word for 'seven,' appearing only in Job 42:13 where it describes Job's seven sons in his restored prosperity. Most scholars consider this an unusual grammatical form, and many ancient versions simply read it as the standard word for seven. The context clearly indicates the number seven, maintaining the symbolic completeness associated with that number throughout Job's narrative—he receives double everything except children, where he gets the same number (seven sons, three daughters) as before.
