Exegesis
The numeral sheva pe‘amim {שֶׁ֥בַע פְּעָמִ֖ים | šeḇāʿ pə-‘āmîm} marks ritual completeness, and lifnei YHWH {לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה | lifnê Yə-hō-wāh} ‘before the LORD’ orients the action toward the divine presence. English rendering retains the original sequence while adapting phrase order for clarity.
In context — Leviticus 14:27
And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger from the oil that is upon his left palm, seven times before the LORD .
