SIBI-P1 Translation H7621-07
sworn oath
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun, absolute state; derived from the root שׁבע with a passive/thing-sworn nuance. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes that which has been sworn, reflecting its formation from the root meaning "to swear" and its participial sense of something bound by oath. The feminine singular absolute form is preserved by rendering it as a singular concrete entity. |
