SIBI-P1 H7657-01
seventy (seven‑tens)
| Root | שבע (sh-b-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | seven, fullness, completeness, oath (by sevening) |
| Semantic Range | The number seventy; a literal count of seventy persons or items; symbolically a large, complete, or representative total. |
| Conceptual Significance | Seventy often symbolizes fullness or representative completeness in Scripture (e.g., seventy elders of Israel, seventy nations in Genesis 10). Its grounding in "seven"—a number associated with completeness and covenant—intensifies the idea of divinely ordered totality. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, cardinal number, masculine plural absolute (HAcbpa). Functions as a numeric modifier meaning "seventy." Though morphologically masculine plural, it is used for counting and does not carry natural gender in English. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term derives from the root שבע ("seven"), and literally denotes "seven tens." Rendering it as "seventy (seven‑tens)" preserves its transparent connection to the base number seven while accurately reflecting its function as a masculine plural cardinal number in the absolute state. |
