your ruling-chief

Rootשרר (ś-r-r)
Core Meaningsrule, govern, exercise authority, hold dominion
Semantic Rangeprince, chief, ruler, commander, official, governor, overseer, captain
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Bible, שַׂר denotes one who exercises delegated or established authority within a social or political structure. It reflects ordered leadership under divine sovereignty, whether in tribal, royal, military, or administrative contexts.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct state (שַׂר) with 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (כֶם) — "chief of you" = "your chief."
Rendering RationaleThe noun שַׂר derives from the root שרר, conveying the exercise of rule or dominion. Rendering it "ruling-chief" preserves this sense of active authority rather than a mere title. The form is masculine singular in construct with a 2nd person masculine plural suffix, thus "your" (addressing multiple males) and a single chief are reflected in the translation.
