The {sub {Lambda}}{sup 7}He hypernucleus is considered within the {sub {Lambda}}{sup 5}He + n + n cluster model. The hyperon-nucleon interaction is described by a one-boson-exchange potential that is constructed on the basis of the NSC97f model. Phenomenological potentials are used to describe the {alpha}{Lambda} and {alpha}N interactions. For the {sub {Lambda}}{sup 5}Hen interaction, use is made of the folding-model potential. The calculations of the hyperon binding energy in the ground state of the {sub {Lambda}}{sup 7}He hypernucleus on the basis of Faddeev equations in configuration space yield a result (5.35 MeV) that agrees well with preliminary experimental data (5.4 MeV). The problem of calculating the hyperon binding energy within the three-body approach is discussed. In calculating the energy spectrum of {sub {Lambda}}{sup 7}He, use is made of a version of the method of analytic continuation in the coupling constant. Low-lying excited states of this nucleus can be classified as an analog of the corresponding states of the {sup 6}He nucleus with allowance for the clustering of the {sub {Lambda}}{sup 5}He+n+n system in the {sup 6}He(J{sup {pi}})+{Lambda}(s) form.
