Usage: This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the number seven, often in contexts that emphasize completeness or divine perfection, as the number seven frequently symbolizes in biblical literature.

Context: The Hebrew term שִׂבְעָנָה (sib'anah) is a derivative of the root שֶׁבַע (sheva), which is commonly associated with the number seven. In the biblical context, the number seven often signifies completeness, perfection, or a divine cycle, as seen in the creation narrative where God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh (Genesis 2:2-3). The use of שִׂבְעָנָה in the Hebrew Bible is less frequent than its masculine counterpart but carries the same symbolic weight. The number seven appears in various contexts, such as the seven days of the week, the seven branches of the menorah, and the seven feasts of Israel, each underscoring the theme of divine order and completeness. The feminine form שִׂבְעָנָה may appear in specific grammatical constructions or poetic expressions, contributing to the rich tapestry of biblical numerology.
