It means god took rest on the seventh day of the week, called the sabbath.
Answer:
"Seven" symbolizes "completeness."
The "Divinely inspired" seven-day week is intended to be a "constant reminder" [REMEMBER the Sabbath day] that we are created, and not "evolved." The seven day account in Genesis 1 is the time it took God to completely RE-MAKE a destroyed earth sometime after the "original creation" of the universe in verses one and two -- [which is an undisclosed period of time].
Christ "repaired" the earth in six days [John 1:3] to sustain man, whom He made on the sixth day... and He created the seventh day by resting and setting aside [sanctifying] the seventh day for "remembering" creation... and the fact that He is our Creator.
The re-make of the earth was "completed" in seven days.
Naaman the Syrian, who was a "...captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master... but he was a leper..." (II Kings 5:1). He was told by Elisha's messenger to:
"...Go and wash in Jordan SEVEN TIMES..." (verse 10)...
after which, he was COMPLETELY HEALED of his leprosy.
There are "seven" annual Holy Day "high day" Sabbaths in God's Word [see Leviticus 23], which He commands His people to "observe and do" each year, that are all "Christ-centered," that depict His "complete seven-phase plan" for the salvation of mankind.
In the book of Revelation are found three sets of "sevens" [seals, trumpets and vials of God's wrath] that prophesy about and culminate with the return of Jesus Christ to earth with the Kingdom of God... the gospel [good news] message that He preached.
These three sets of seven [three, indicating 'perfection'] prophetic global events that shall come upon the nations in these last days, picture the "perfect completion" of God's plan.
"...He said unto me, IT IS DONE..." (Rev.20:6).
Seven means "completeness" in The Bible.

Why is page 666 not in the Bible?
I checked just to be sure and, yes, there is a page 666 in the Bible, at least in my Bible there is. Just because this number is associated with the Antichrist does not mean it cannot be used to count things. Some buildings skip the 13th floor, but the Bible does not skip page 666.
