seventy (seven‑tens)

Rootשבע (sh-b-ʿ)
Core Meaningsseven, fullness, completeness, oath (by sevening)
Semantic RangeThe number seventy; a literal count of seventy persons or items; symbolically a large, complete, or representative total.
Conceptual SignificanceSeventy 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 NotesAdjective, 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 RationaleThe 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.
