SIBI-P1 H4910-19
he will exercise dominion
| Root | משל (m-š-l) |
| Core Meanings | to rule, govern, exercise dominion, have authority |
| Semantic Range | to rule as a king, govern politically, exercise authority over people or territories, have dominion, control or master |
| Conceptual Significance | משל is central to biblical concepts of kingship, divine sovereignty, and ordered authority—describing both human rulers and YHWH’s supreme dominion, as well as humanity’s delegated rule within creation. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular of מָשַׁל. The imperfect denotes incomplete, future, or habitual action; Qal stem conveys simple active voice. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form expresses a simple active action performed by a male subject: "he will rule." Rendering it as "he will exercise dominion" preserves the core sense of משל as active governance and authority, while clearly reflecting the masculine singular subject and imperfect (future/incomplete) aspect. |
