שָׁבוּעַ

shâbûwaʻ · Hebrew · Strong's H7620 · 20 occurrences

The KJV renders 5 different Hebrew and Greek words as “seven”

What it means

literally, sevened, i.e. a week (specifically, of years)

or שָׁבֻעַ; also (feminine) שְׁבֻעָה; properly, passive participle of H7650 (שָׁבַע) as a denominative of H7651 (שֶׁבַע);

How the KJV renders it

seven, week

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

seven
also renders heptá (G2033), ʻâsâr (H6240), shibʻâh (H7655), shibʻânâh (H7658)
week
also renders sábbaton (G4521)
