Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
The prevalence of the number "seven" in the religious system of the Jews has been noticed often. Seven bullocks and seven rams were a common offering Num 29:32; Ch1 15:26; Ch2 29:21; Job 42:8; Eze 14:23. At the larger sacrifices, however, it is seldom that we find the number seven at all prominent (compare Ch2 30:24; Ch2 35:7-9; Kg1 8:63).

7 And Josiah [02977] gave [07311] to the people [01121] [05971], of the flock [06629], lambs [03532] and kids [01121] [05795], all for the passover offerings [06453], for all that were present [04672], to the number [04557] of thirty [07970] thousand [0505], and three [07969] thousand [0505] bullocks [01241]: these were of the king's [04428] substance [07399].
8 And his princes [08269] gave [07311] willingly [05071] unto the people [05971], to the priests [03548], and to the Levites [03881]: Hilkiah [02518] and Zechariah [02148] and Jehiel [03171], rulers [05057] of the house [01004] of God [0430], gave [05414] unto the priests [03548] for the passover offerings [06453] two thousand [0505] and six [08337] hundred [03967] small cattle, and three [07969] hundred [03967] oxen [01241].
9 Conaniah [03562] also, and Shemaiah [08098] and Nethaneel [05417], his brethren [0251], and Hashabiah [02811] and Jeiel [03273] and Jozabad [03107], chief [08269] of the Levites [03881], gave [07311] unto the Levites [03881] for passover offerings [06453] five [02568] thousand [0505] small cattle, and five [02568] hundred [03967] oxen [01241].

23 And they shall comfort [05162] you, when ye see [07200] their ways [01870] and their doings [05949]: and ye shall know [03045] that I have not done [06213] without cause [02600] all that I have done [06213] in it, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
8 Therefore take [03947] unto you now seven [07651] bullocks [06499] and seven [07651] rams [0352], and go [03212] to my servant [05650] Job [0347], and offer up [05927] for yourselves a burnt offering [05930]; and my servant [05650] Job [0347] shall pray [06419] for you: for him [06440] will I accept [05375]: lest I deal [06213] with you after your folly [05039], in that ye have not spoken [01696] of me the thing which is right [03559], like my servant [05650] Job [0347].
21 And they brought [0935] seven [07651] bullocks [06499], and seven [07651] rams [0352], and seven [07651] lambs [03532], and seven [07651] he [06842] goats [05795], for a sin offering [02403] for the kingdom [04467], and for the sanctuary [04720], and for Judah [03063]. And he commanded [0559] the priests [03548] the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] to offer [05927] them on the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068].
26 And it came to pass, when God [0430] helped [05826] the Levites [03881] that bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], that they offered [02076] seven [07651] bullocks [06499] and seven [07651] rams [0352].
32 And on the seventh [07637] day [03117] seven [07651] bullocks [06499], two [08147] rams [0352], and fourteen [0702] [06240] lambs [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] without blemish [08549]:
