What references to the phrase 'seven pounds of flesh' can be found in the Bible?

Answer 1

In the King James version....

The word "pounds" only appears five times.....

The word "pound" only appears ten times..... I have highlighted below the only mention of the word "seven" in the same verse as "pound".
