SIBI-P1 H4437-01
in the kingship-of
| Root | מלך (m-l-k) |
| Core Meanings | to reign, to rule, to be king, kingship, royal authority |
| Semantic Range | kingdom, realm, reign, royal dominion, exercise of kingship, period of rule |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, this term can denote both earthly monarchic realms and the sovereign rule of God. It expresses not merely territory but active kingship—authority exercised in governance—making it central to themes of divine sovereignty and covenantal order. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common feminine singular construct (Ncfsc) with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"). Corresponds to Hebrew מַלְכוּת (malkût), "kingdom, reign." The construct form requires a following noun to complete the phrase. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root מלך (to reign, be king) and denotes royal rule or dominion. The form is feminine singular construct with the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"), so "in the kingship-of" preserves both the root idea of royal authority and the construct relationship to a following genitive. |
