SIBI-P1 `H4910-34`

he will exercise dominion

Root	משל (m-š-l)
Core Meanings	to rule, govern, exercise dominion, have authority
Semantic Range	to rule as a king, govern politically, exercise authority over people or territories, have dominion, control or master
Conceptual Significance	משל is central to biblical concepts of kingship, divine sovereignty, and ordered authority—describing both human rulers and YHWH’s supreme dominion, as well as humanity’s delegated rule within creation.
Morphological Notes	Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular of מָשַׁל. The imperfect denotes incomplete, future, or habitual action; Qal stem conveys simple active voice.
Rendering Rationale	The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form expresses a simple active action performed by a male subject: "he will rule." Rendering it as "he will exercise dominion" preserves the core sense of משל as active governance and authority, while clearly reflecting the masculine singular subject and imperfect (future/incomplete) aspect.
