and his ruling-dominion

Root	שלט (š-l-ṭ)
Core Meanings	to rule, to have dominion, to exercise authority, mastery, control
Semantic Range	dominion, sovereignty, ruling authority, mastery, governing power, realm under control
Conceptual Significance	In the Aramaic sections of Scripture (notably Daniel), שׇׁלְטָן often describes royal or divine sovereignty. It underscores the exercised authority of kings and ultimately the supreme, enduring dominion of the Most High over earthly empires.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וְ + masculine singular noun in construct (שׇׁלְטָן) + 3ms pronominal suffix (“his”). The construct form binds the noun to the suffix, indicating possession.
Rendering Rationale	The noun שׇׁלְטָן (sholṭān) derives from the root שלט, expressing active rule and exercised authority. The form is masculine singular in construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, preceded by the conjunction וְ (“and”), thus accurately rendered as “and his ruling-dominion,” preserving both the possessive suffix and the root idea of exercised authority.
