Same Semitic root, same meaning — you already know this word.
Arabic root
ش-ب-عHebrew root
ש-ב-עshabiʿa is שבע, letter for letter — though the ش here matches Hebrew שׂ (sin), not the שׁ (shin) of שלום. Proto-Semitic had three sibilants; Arabic kept them as three separate letters (س ش ث), while Hebrew folded two of them into one ש. Arabic shabʿān (full, satisfied) is Hebrew's own שבע.
