Heptad
A heptad is the number seven or a group of seven.
The original deacons were a heptad of servants elected to distribute food to widows who were being neglected. (Acts 6:1-6) The original heptad consisted of “Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch.” (Acts 6:5, NASB)
