Strong's Lexicon mashal: To rule, to have dominion, to govern Original Word: מָשַׁל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G936 (βασιλεύω, basileuō) - to reign, to rule - G2233 (ἡγέομαι, hēgeomai) - to lead, to rule Usage: The Hebrew verb "mashal" primarily means to rule or have dominion over. It is used in the context of governance, leadership, and authority. The term can refer to the act of ruling over people, nations, or even situations. It conveys the idea of exercising control or authority, often in a manner that is just and righteous. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of rulership was deeply intertwined with the idea of divine authority. Kings and leaders were often seen as appointed by God to govern His people. The use of "mashal" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the theocratic nature of Israelite society, where God was the ultimate ruler, and human leaders were His representatives. The term also underscores the importance of wise and just leadership, as seen in the wisdom literature and the narratives of the kings.
