and weighty rulers
| Root | רזן (r-z-n) |
| Core Meanings | heaviness, weightiness, dignity, authority, rulership |
| Semantic Range | princes, nobles, rulers, dignitaries, those of high rank or governing authority |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, social and political authority is often expressed through the metaphor of weight or heaviness, indicating honor and gravity. רֹזְנִים highlights leaders as those whose "weight" commands respect and influence within the covenant community or among the nations. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to Qal active participle masculine plural absolute of רָזַן. The participial form functions substantivally, describing persons characterized by weightiness/authority. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root רזן conveys the idea of being heavy or weighty, which metaphorically expresses dignity and authority. As a Qal masculine plural participle with prefixed conjunction, the form denotes "and those who are weighty," hence "and weighty rulers," preserving both the root imagery and the masculine plural sense. |
