seven (the fullness-number, feminine form)
| Root | שבע (š-b-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | seven, fullness, completeness, satiation, oath-bound fullness |
| Semantic Range | The number seven; sevenfold; seven times; a week; an indefinite full number; by extension, completeness or totality. |
| Conceptual Significance | Seven signifies fullness, completion, and covenantal wholeness in the Hebrew Scriptures—seen in creation (seven days), Sabbath rest, oath-making (root קשר with שבע), and ritual cycles. It functions as a symbolic number of sacred completeness throughout biblical theology. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, absolute state, common feminine singular (HAcfsa). Though grammatically feminine here, it can modify both masculine and feminine nouns, following standard Hebrew number agreement patterns. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֶׁבַע is a feminine singular absolute cardinal number derived from the root שבע, associated with fullness and completion. Rendering it as "seven (the fullness-number, feminine form)" preserves both its numeric sense and its conceptual link to completeness, while noting its feminine grammatical form reflected in the morphology (HAcfsa). |
