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.
This is just another way of saying seven times. Thus for a herd of seven cows to be increased sevenfold would come to forty nine.
Some in biblical numerology say the word seven or number 7 means 'completion or perfection.' Multiple usage of this number like 777 would indicate an intesifying.

What is the biblical reference for the number seven?
God chooses the number seven to be the only perfect number. There are seven days in the creation of the universe. The seventh day was one to rest and take in the joy of what has been created. (The book of Genesis) The number seven in both New and Old Testaments means the same as perfection. This comes from the creation story which is put into a seven day framework to emphasize the perfection of God's creation and the most perfect day of the week was the seventh day, the Sabbath. Throughout the Bible, there will be examples of the number 7 used this same way. In the new testament, one of the apostles asks Jesus if he has to forgive his brother 7 times and Jesus answers: I say seventy times seven times. This would mean an infinite number.
