SIBI-P1 H8269-24

and the ruling chiefs

Rootשרר (ś-r-r)
Core Meaningsto rule, to have dominion, to exercise authority, to govern
Semantic Rangeprince, chief, ruler, official, captain, commander, overseer, noble, administrative leader
Conceptual Significanceשַׂר 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 NotesConjunction 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 RationaleThe 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.
