Exegesis
The prepositional phrase heos ton hepta {ἕως τῶν ἑπτά | hé-ōs tôn hep-tá} uses heos “until” with a genitive phrase “of the seven,” a construction that in context denotes continuation through the entire group of seven brothers. Greek leaves the intervening brothers implicit, with the conjunctions and ordinals creating a sense of ongoing sequence. In translation, the genitive “of the seven” is naturally rendered as “up to the seventh,” making explicit the endpoint of the series while preserving the repetitive, cumulative feel of the original narrative.
