râdâh
and will rule
To rule, have dominion, or exercise control or authority over someone or something. רָדָה primarily denotes the exercise of authoritative control, often but not always with the nuance of subduing, governing, or directing—especially over people, animals, territories, or circumstances. In some contexts, it can carry the idea of dominion with the possibility of severity, but not necessarily oppression. The term also occasionally connotes the act of treading or pressing, as in pressing out olives in a press.
