SIBI-P1 H8269-24
and the ruling chiefs
| Root | שרר (ś-r-r) |
| Core Meanings | to rule, to have dominion, to exercise authority, to govern |
| Semantic Range | prince, chief, ruler, official, captain, commander, overseer, noble, administrative leader |
| Conceptual Significance | שַׂר designates those who exercise delegated or inherent authority within Israelite and surrounding societies—tribal leaders, royal officials, military commanders, or celestial rulers. The term underscores structured authority and governance under the ultimate sovereignty of יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + definite article הַ + noun שַׂר in masculine plural absolute (שָּׂרִים). No pronominal suffix; definite by article; functions as a common masculine plural noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שַׂר derives from the root שרר, conveying the exercise of rule or dominion. The form is masculine plural absolute with the definite article and prefixed conjunction, hence "and the ruling chiefs," preserving both the plural number and the governing sense inherent in the root. |
