and the sovereignty
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + masculine singular common noun in emphatic (determined) state (Aramaic). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁלְטָן denotes the state or quality of possessing ruling authority, derived from the root שלט "to rule." The emphatic (determined) singular form requires definiteness, and the prefixed conjunction וְ adds "and," yielding "and the sovereignty." |
