SIBI-P1 H7724-02

and seven (the fullness-number)

Morphological NotesConjunction וּ + adjective/cardinal number, common feminine singular absolute (שֶׁבַע). Feminine form of the numeral "seven."
Rendering RationaleThe form is the conjunction וְ/וּ (“and”) attached to the feminine singular absolute cardinal שֶׁבַע (“seven”). Rendering it as “and seven (the fullness-number)” preserves both the grammatical feminine singular form and the root sense of שבע, which conveys not merely the numeral but the idea of fullness and completeness embedded in the Hebrew concept of seven.
