Gabar means great in strength from the phrase EL-Gabar meaning God is Great.
So the Messiah makes Great the Covenant (definite article) with many in one week (69th-week marker to the 70th-week expiry marker).
The context is prophetic to Jeremiah 31:31-35, that is the New Covenant that God is making to the Jews first through Christ's ministry where Christ is the Promised Seed who restores the Kingdom to God. This is the invisible Kingdom of Daniel 2:44 that does not come by observation.
That is why Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:25-26 for Jesus Christ must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. Then the end will come, when he hands over the Kingdom of Daniel 2:44 to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
The End comes when the Gentiles come to be fully accounted for within the Book of Life through the ministry of his Church.
Note one very important sequence that corrobrates with Revelation chapters 7 and 14 in regards to the ministry to the Jews first as the 144,000 firstfruits.
each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
Christ is the forerunner to the resurrection then we see the 144,000 firstfruits under the Mosaic Law and before the Cross being sealed by Christ's ministry before he is cut-off (crucified). Those who belong to him are the many Gentiles under the ministry of his Church who carry palm branches in their hands and who sing the song of the Lamb.
Jesus through his ministry is making Great the New Covenant that God is establishing through the Seed of Promise Jesus Christ. The many are suggestive of Gentiles inclusive through the continued ministry of his Church to the many Gentile nations of the world.
The Cross demarcates the ministry to the Jews as compared to the ministry to the Gentiles through his Church which is accredited to the Messiah making strong/great the New Covenant with many in one week and this week is as I have pictorially highlighted to you above.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ in chapters 7 and 14 differentiates the two ministries within that same week. Those 144,000 sing the song of Moses because they are the Mosaic Law Jews from every tribe who are sealed first as the firstfruits of the harvest after Christ ministered onto them before the ministry went out to the many Gentile nations abroad. The Gentile nations of Revelation 7 are those who would make their robes white by the blood of the Lamb and who in contrast to the 1st group sing the song of the Lamb because they are ministered to after the Cross by the Church (the Two witnesses / two anointed ones comprising of both Jews and Gentiles within the same Church)
Hiph`il Perfect הִגְבִּיר בְּרִית לְ confirm a covenant Daniel 9:27;
This is the only conjugation which references Daniel 9:27.
Messiah confirms a covenant. (Matthew 26:28)
