SIBI-P1 `H7248-01`

chief Magian

Root	רבב (r-b-b)
Core Meanings	greatness, abundance, multitude, supremacy
Semantic Range	chief official, high-ranking advisor, master of magicians, leading Magian priest
Conceptual Significance	This title reflects the structure of the Babylonian imperial court and highlights the presence of high-ranking pagan officials in narratives such as Jeremiah 39. It underscores the political and religious authority structures surrounding Judah’s exile.
Morphological Notes	Compound noun (רַב + מָג), common masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa); a formal Babylonian court title.
Rendering Rationale	The title combines רַב (from the root רבב, "great, chief") with מָג (a loanword referring to a Magian or wise man). The morphology indicates a masculine singular absolute noun, so "chief Magian" preserves both the singular masculine form and the sense of authoritative greatness conveyed by רַב.
