his branch-rod

Rootשבט (š-b-ṭ)
Core Meaningsbranch, rod, staff, tribal division, authority
Semantic RangeRod for discipline, staff for guidance, scepter of rulership, tribal branch or clan, symbol of authority or correction.
Conceptual Significanceשֵׁבֶט functions both as a symbol of governance (scepter) and as the structural unit of Israel (tribe), expressing the idea of authority and identity flowing from a common branch. It ties leadership, discipline, and covenant lineage into a single rooted metaphor of a living branch extended into communal order.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun in construct state (שֵׁבֶט) with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding "his …". Occasional orthographic variation appears in the surface forms, but the governing lexeme is שֵׁבֶט (H7626).
Rendering RationaleThe noun שֵׁבֶט (shêbeṭ) derives from a root associated with branching off, yielding both the literal sense of a rod or staff and the figurative sense of a tribal branch. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3ms pronominal suffix ("his"), so "his branch-rod" preserves the singular masculine noun and explicitly includes the possessive suffix while retaining the root imagery of a branch used as a rod of authority.
