SIBI-P1 H4437-07
the kingship-realm (feminine singular) / the kingship-realms (feminine plural)
| Root | מלך (m-l-k) |
| Core Meanings | to reign, to rule, to be king, kingship, royal authority |
| Semantic Range | royal dominion, kingdom, reign, realm, sovereign authority, imperial rule (abstract or concrete) |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, this term often denotes the exercised authority of a king or empire, whether human or divine. It can describe earthly imperial structures or the sovereign reign of the Most High, emphasizing rule as an active expression of kingship rather than merely territorial boundaries. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, feminine; emphatic (determined) state. Attested in both feminine singular emphatic and feminine plural emphatic forms (ANcfsd/Td; ANcfpd/Td). Cognate to Hebrew מַלְכוּת (malkût). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root מלך (m-l-k), expressing active royal rule and authority, by using "kingship-realm" rather than the more abstract "kingdom." The forms are feminine emphatic (determined) singular and plural in Aramaic, so both "realm" (singular) and "realms" (plural) are reflected, with the definite sense conveyed by "the." |
