In context
4None of the seven youths turned cowardly, or shrank back from death.
5But all of them, as though running the road to immortality, hastened on to death through tortures.
— 4 Maccabees 14:6 —
7O holy seven of harmonious brethren! for as the seven days of creation, about religion,
8so the youths, circling around the number seven, annulled the fear of torments.
