royal dominion
| Root | מלך (m-l-k) |
| Core Meanings | to reign, to rule, to be king, kingship, royal authority |
| Semantic Range | kingdom, reign, kingship, royal rule, realm, sovereign authority |
| Conceptual Significance | This term expresses the active rule and authority of a king, whether human or divine. In biblical theology it is central to the concept of YHWH’s sovereign rule over nations and history, and to visions of enduring or divinely established kingdoms. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common feminine singular absolute (ANcfsa). Cognate with Hebrew מַלְכוּת. Distinct from the Hebrew verbal form מָלְכוּ (Qal perfect 3rd common plural, "they reigned") from the same root. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic noun מַלְכוּ is a feminine singular absolute form derived from the root מלך (to reign, to rule). "Royal dominion" preserves the concrete sense of active kingship and ruling authority inherent in the root, rather than a vague territorial sense, while correctly reflecting the feminine singular noun form. |
