Semantic domains 5 entries

Quantity002001001046: This domain belongs to the identically-spelled numeral "seven" (attested at Genesis 4:24), rather than to this word's personal/place-name sense.
Frequency002001003009: שֶׁבַע (shebaʻ, H7652) is the place/personal name "Sheba" (also "Beersheba" in construct), as in occurrences glossed "Sheba"/"of Sheba." As a proper name it does not independently attest the "Frequency" domain; that classification is bundle-shared with שֶׁבַע (shebaʻ, H7651) (the numeral "seven") in the source data and reflects שֶׁבַע (shebaʻ, H7651)'s own attested sense, not this proper name's.
Names of Waterbodies003001015: Joshua 19:2 lists "Beersheba or Sheba" among Simeon's inheritance, the name itself recalling the well ("beʼer") at the heart of the Beersheba narrative, attesting this word's association with that waterbody.
Names of Locations003001010: Joshua 19:2's "Beersheba or Sheba" directly attests this word's use as a place name.
Names of People003001007: 2 Samuel 20:1 names "a worthless man... whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri," directly attesting this word's use as a personal name.
