the rulers
A domain or area of rule; abstractly, authority or dominion exercised by a ruler. In the Hebrew Bible, מִמְשָׁל refers primarily to the concept or sphere of sovereignty—either in the literal sense of a territory under a ruler, or more abstractly as the act or state of ruling, governance, or control. Occasionally the term is used to describe the realm over which a particular authority extends, whether human kings, officials, or even celestial bodies.

the dominions
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; plural absolute; definite by prefixed article הַ־. |
| Rendering Rationale | מִמְשָׁל is a noun derived from משל denoting the sphere or domain of ruling. The plural absolute with definite article (הַ־) requires a plural rendering, hence "the dominions," reflecting multiple realms or spheres of rule rather than individual rulers. |
