and a ruling-one

Root	משל (m-š-l)
Core Meanings	to rule, govern, exercise dominion, have authority
Semantic Range	to rule, reign, govern, exercise dominion, have mastery or authority over people, territories, or circumstances
Conceptual Significance	The root משל conveys the exercise of delegated or established authority, often describing kings, leaders, or even cosmic bodies (e.g., sun and moon) set to govern. It reflects the biblical theme of ordered dominion under the sovereignty of YHWH.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וּ ("and") + Qal active participle masculine singular absolute of מָשַׁל. Functions substantivally: "one who rules" or "ruler."
Rendering Rationale	The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular with prefixed conjunction ("and"), denoting "one who rules." Rendering it as "a ruling-one" preserves the participial sense of ongoing authority while reflecting the masculine singular form.
