Exegesis
The numeral sheva {שֶׁ֨בַע | šəḇāʿ} with yippol {יִפּ֣וֹל | yippōl} and the Vav-consecutive vaqam {וָקָם | vāqām} create a sequential action emphasizing the righteous one’s repeated recovery.
In context — Proverbs 24:16
For a righteous person may fall seven times, yet he rises each time; but the wicked stumble in calamity.
