and to the weighty ones
| Root | רזן (r-z-n) |
| Core Meanings | heaviness, weight, dignity, honor, rulership |
| Semantic Range | princes, rulers, nobles, dignitaries, influential leaders; those of social or political weight |
| Conceptual Significance | The term frames leadership in terms of "weight"—a cultural metaphor for honor, authority, and social gravity. In biblical thought, true authority is linked with recognized substance and dignity rather than mere power. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + preposition לְ prefixed to Qal active participle masculine plural absolute רוֹזְנִים from רָזַן. Functions substantivally: "those who are weighty" → rulers/princes. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form רוֹזְנִים is a Qal masculine plural participle, literally "those who are weighty," from a root meaning "to be heavy" in the sense of dignity or honor. The rendering "weighty ones" preserves the root imagery of heaviness that metaphorically yields rulership, while the conjunction וּ and preposition לְ are reflected in "and to," and the masculine plural is retained in "ones." |
