SIBI-P1 H7650-14
he caused him to seven himself in oath
| Root | שבע (sh-b-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | seven, completeness, fullness, oath-taking, binding oneself by seven |
| Semantic Range | to swear, to administer an oath, to bind by oath, to adjure solemnly, to make someone take an oath |
| Conceptual Significance | Oath-making in Israelite culture invoked covenantal seriousness and completeness, reflecting the symbolic fullness associated with the number seven. To "seven" someone was to bind them solemnly before God, reinforcing the gravity and sacred accountability of spoken commitments. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil perfect 3rd masculine singular with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix; causative action performed by "he" upon "him." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem (causative) with a 3ms subject and 3ms pronominal suffix indicates "he caused him" to perform the action. Since the root שבע literally relates to "seven" and developed the sense of swearing (as if binding oneself by seven), the rendering preserves both the causative force and the underlying "sevening" concept behind oath-making. |
