SIBI-P1 H7651-19
and seven
| Root | שבע (sh-b-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | seven, fullness, completeness, oath, covenantal binding |
| Semantic Range | The literal number seven; sevenfold or seven times; a full unit such as a week; by extension a complete or divinely complete set; associated conceptually with oath-making due to the cognate verb שׁבע (“to swear”). |
| Conceptual Significance | Seven signifies completeness, sacred fullness, and covenantal confirmation in the biblical text (e.g., creation week, ritual cycles). Its connection with oath-making underscores themes of divine faithfulness and binding commitment. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to a cardinal number, feminine singular absolute (Acfsa). The feminine form שֶׁבַע is used when counting feminine nouns or in certain fixed expressions. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ (“and”) attached to the feminine singular cardinal שֶׁבַע (“seven”). The rendering preserves the additive conjunction and the cardinal sense of the number, which in Hebrew carries connotations of fullness and completion rooted in שׁבע. |
