[225] ἐπίγειον οὖν βουληθεὶς ἀρχετύπου τῆς κατ’ οὐρανὸν σφαίρας ἑπταφεγγοῦς μίμημα παρ’ ἡμῖν ὁ τεχνίτης
γενέσθαι πάγκαλον ἔργον προσέταξε, τὴν λυχνίαν, δημιουργηθῆναι. δέδεικται δὲ καὶ ἡ πρὸς ψυχὴν ἐμφέρεια αὐτῆς· ψυχὴ γὰρ τριμερὴς μέν ἐστι, δίχα δὲ ἕκαστον τῶν μερῶν, ὡς ἐδείχθη, τέμνεται, μοιρῶν ¹ δὲ γενομένων ἓξ ἕβδομος εἰκότως τομεὺς ἦν ἁπάντων ὁ ἱερὸς καὶ θεῖος λόγος.

On the question, Who is the Heir of Divine Things First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 225 focus

[225] The Creator therefore, wishing that there should be a model upon earth among us of the seven-lighted sphere as it exists in heaven, ordained this exquisite work to be made, namely, this candlestick. And its likeness to the soul is often pointed out too; for the soul is divisible into three parts, and each of the parts, as has been already pointed out, is divided into two more. And thus there being six divisions, the sacred and divine Word, the divider of them all, very naturally makes up the number seven.
