== Source of the Concept == In several places, our Sages taught that the seven instances of the word 'voice' (kol) in Tehillim (Psalms) 29 allude to the seven voices with which the Torah was given. In a later period, the Braisa of 'Masechet Soferim' was revealed, in which our Sages connect these seven voices to the division of the Torah into seven books. Meaning, that the passage "Vayehi Binsoa Ha'aron" (When the Ark journeyed) is considered a book on its own. And if so (that these two verses in the middle of Bamidbar are a "separate book"), then the book of Bamidbar consists of three books, and together with the other four Chumashim they total seven.
