SIBI-P1 H7651-09
seven (full measure)
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular absolute cardinal number (often used with masculine nouns; the masculine form is שִׁבְעָה). Functions adjectivally or substantivally; can also express multiplicative or distributive sense in context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form שֶׁבַע is a feminine singular absolute cardinal number. Rendering it as "seven (full measure)" preserves its grammatical singular form while drawing out the root sense of completeness and fullness inherent in שׁבע, from which also comes the verb "to swear" (to bind by seven). |
