SIBI-P1 H7650-04
to cause to swear (to seven-bind)
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil infinitive absolute of שָׁבַע (H7650). The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense ("cause to swear"), and the infinitive absolute expresses the verbal idea in its intensified or emphatic form depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Hiphil, expressing causation from the root שׁבע, whose underlying idea is "to seven oneself"—to bind oneself by an oath. Rendering it "to cause to swear (to seven-bind)" preserves both the causative stem and the root connection between seven and oath-taking. |
