SIBI-P1 Translation H874-02

Well-of-the-Oath

Morphological NotesProper noun; compound place name formed from two nominal elements (בְּאֵר + שֶׁבַע).
Rendering RationaleThe compound proper name joins בְּאֵר (well) with שֶׁבַע/שָׁבַע (seven/to swear), reflecting the landmark well associated with an oath. Rendering it as "Well-of-the-Oath" preserves the root meanings while recognizing its fixed proper-name form.
