SIBI-P1 `H4083-02`

jurisdiction of

Root	דין (d-y-n)
Core Meanings	judging, governing, administering justice, legal contention
Semantic Range	province, administrative district, governed territory, jurisdiction, region under legal authority
Conceptual Significance	Reflects the administrative structure of imperial rule (e.g., Babylonian or Persian), where lands were divided into governed jurisdictions. The term underscores ordered governance and legal oversight within empires that shaped Israel’s historical experience.
Morphological Notes	Aramaic noun; common feminine singular construct form of מְדִינָה. The construct state links it to a following noun, indicating possession or specification ("jurisdiction of...").
Rendering Rationale	The noun derives from the root דין (to judge, govern), with the prefixed מ indicating a place or sphere of action—thus a place of judging or governance. The form is feminine singular construct (ANcfsc), which requires a relational rendering, hence "jurisdiction of," preserving both the governing sense of the root and the construct relationship.
