exalted leader of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | Derived from the root meaning "to lift/exalt," נָשִׂיא denotes one who is lifted up in status—an exalted leader. The masculine singular construct form requires a relational sense, hence "of," indicating this leader stands in relation to another noun. |
