SIBI-P1 H4910-23
you (masculine singular) shall rule / she shall rule
| Root | משל (m-š-l) |
| Core Meanings | to rule, govern, exercise dominion, have authority |
| Semantic Range | to rule over, govern, reign, have dominion, exercise authority, control |
| Conceptual Significance | מָשַׁל is a key term for authority and dominion in the Hebrew Bible, used of human governance, royal reign, and divinely appointed rule. It also appears in foundational texts concerning humanity’s mandate to exercise dominion, shaping biblical concepts of stewardship and kingship. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect; one form is 2nd masculine singular (תִּמְשֹׁל), the other 3rd feminine singular (תִּמְשׁוֹל). The Qal stem conveys simple, active ruling or exercising dominion. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect form expresses simple future or modal action of ruling or exercising dominion. The two attested forms are second masculine singular ("you shall rule") and third feminine singular ("she shall rule"), and the rendering preserves both the person and gender distinctions present in the Hebrew morphology. |
