SIBI-P1 H7621-03

the sworn-oath

Morphological NotesNoun common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). Derived from the root שבע in its verbal sense "to swear," functioning substantivally as "that which is sworn."
Rendering RationaleThe noun שְׁבוּעָה derives from the root שבע (to swear), originally linked to the idea of binding oneself by seven. Rendering it as "the sworn-oath" preserves the passive sense (something sworn) and reflects the definite article (הַ) and feminine singular form indicated by the morphology.
