ruling chiefs

Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun in the absolute state from שַׂר (sar). No pronominal suffix; plural ending ־ִים marks masculine plural.
Rendering RationaleThe noun שָׂר derives from the root שׂרר, "to rule" or "exercise dominion." The masculine plural absolute form (HNcmpa) requires a masculine plural rendering, hence "ruling chiefs," which preserves both the idea of authority embedded in the root and the plural masculine form.
