Exegesis
veshivah eylim {שִׁבְעָֽה־פָרִ֖ים וְשִׁבְעָ֥ה אֵילִֽים | šivʿāh-pārîm wəšivʿāh ʾêlîm} create balanced coordination that emphasizes a complete, fitting offering. In English, the Hebrew temporal infinitive construction is naturally rendered with “when,” and the participle is expressed as a relative or reduced clause to keep the focus on the Levites’ action while preserving the Hebrew sequencing.
In context — 1 Chronicles 15:26
And it happened, when God helped the Levites who were bearing the Ark of the covenant of the LORD , that they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
