SIBI-P1 H8269-36

and ruling chiefs

Morphological NotesMasculine common plural absolute noun (Ncmpa) with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and") in most occurrences; from the singular שַׂר ("chief, ruler").
Rendering RationaleThe noun שָׂר derives from the root שׂרר, meaning "to rule" or "to exercise authority." Rendering it as "ruling chiefs" preserves the active sense of authority inherent in the root, while the conjunction "and" reflects the prefixed וְ and the plural form conveys the masculine plural morphology (Ncmpa).
