SIBI-P1 H7621-02

in the sworn-oath of

Rootשׁבע (sh-b-ʿ)
Core Meaningsseven, fullness, completeness, oath-taking, binding oneself by seven
Semantic Rangeoath, sworn pledge, solemn vow, covenantal oath, binding curse
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, an oath (שְׁבוּעָה) is a solemn act that binds a person before God, often invoking divine witness or judgment. It reflects the cultural practice of "sevening" oneself to guarantee truthfulness and covenant loyalty.
Morphological NotesNoun, common feminine singular construct (שְׁבֻעַת) with prefixed preposition בִּ ("in/with"). The construct form requires a following genitive complement ("of ...").
Rendering Rationaleשְׁבוּעָה derives from the root שׁבע in its sense of "sevening oneself," that is, binding oneself by an oath. The form שְׁבֻעַת is feminine singular construct, and with the prefixed בִּ it yields "in the sworn-oath of," preserving the construct relationship and the passive sense of something sworn.
