And now, seven herself⁷³⁸ to myself in elohim here. If you are not cheating to-myself, and to my offspring and to my posterity, according to the Kindness which I have made with yourself, you are making with myself, and with the Earth which you have offroaded in-herself.`

Now therefore swear to me by God that thou wilt not injure me, nor my seed, nor my name, but according to the righteousness which I have performed with thee thou shalt deal with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.

Seven as a Verb = Seven Times?

Hebrew הִשָּׁ֨בְעָה, hasabeah. Nifal reflexive imperative + feminine singular. Compared to Joshua 6:22 where it says נִשְׁבַּעְתֶּ֖ם לָֽהּ seven yourselves to her which has traditionally been understood as “swearing to her.” To “swear” or “make an oath” was actually to seven oneself. No implication of “dividing” into seven is present, so the logical definition would be similar to two as a verb (to double) and three as a verb (to triple), etc.
