SIBI-P1 H7650-19
he sevened himself (in oath)
| Morphological Notes | Niphal perfect, 3rd person masculine singular (HVNp3ms). The Niphal functions reflexively here, expressing the subject binding himself by oath. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem of שׁבע carries a reflexive or passive sense, literally "to seven oneself," meaning to bind oneself by an oath. Rendering it as "he sevened himself" preserves the root connection to "seven" and reflects the 3rd person masculine singular perfect form indicated by the morphology. |
