and a kingship
| Root | מלך (m-l-k) |
| Core Meanings | to reign, to rule as king, kingship, royal authority, dominion |
| Semantic Range | kingdom, reign, royal dominion, realm, sovereignty, kingly authority (abstract or concrete) |
| Conceptual Significance | This term expresses the reality of royal rule, whether human or divine. In biblical theology, it can denote earthly political dominion or the sovereign reign of God, highlighting authority, governance, and the establishment of ordered rule under a king. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to an Aramaic feminine singular absolute noun (Ncfsa). The form corresponds to Hebrew מַלְכוּת (malkût), "kingdom" or "kingship." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַלְכוּ (malkû) derives from the root מלך, meaning "to reign" or "to rule as king." As a feminine singular absolute noun with prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"), it is faithfully rendered "and a kingship," preserving both its abstract sense of royal rule and its grammatical singular feminine form. |
