SIBI-P1 H113-25

to a ruling-master

Rootאדן (ʾ-d-n)
Core Meaningsrule, mastery, authority, control
Semantic Rangelord, master, owner, sovereign, one in authority (human or divine)
Conceptual Significanceאָדוֹן expresses relational authority—whether of a human superior, a household master, or God as sovereign. It highlights structures of submission and governance central to covenantal, social, and theological frameworks in the Hebrew Bible.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to a masculine singular common noun in the absolute state (Ncmsa). No definite article; masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אָדוֹן derives from a root conveying rule and authority. Rendering it as "ruling-master" preserves the active sense of one who exercises dominion, and the prefixed לְ is reflected by "to," while the masculine singular absolute form is maintained by the singular "master."
