Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root רֹאשׁ (rosh), meaning "head."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 2776: κεφαλή (kephalē) • meaning "head," often used metaphorically in the New Testament to denote leadership or authority, similar to the Hebrew concept of מַרְאָשָׁה.
Strong's Greek Number 758: ἀρχή (archē) • meaning "beginning" or "rule," which can also imply a position of authority or dominion, akin to the Hebrew understanding of headship.

Usage: This term is used in the context of leadership, authority, or dominion, often in relation to a position of power or governance.

Context: מַרְאָשָׁה (mar'ashah) is a Hebrew term that encapsulates the concept of leadership and authority, often associated with the head or chief of a group. The root רֹאשׁ (rosh) is commonly used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the head, both in a literal and metaphorical sense, such as the head of a body or the leader of a community. The term מַרְאָשָׁה extends this metaphor to imply a position of dominion or governance, suggesting a role of oversight and responsibility. In the biblical context, headship is often linked with divine appointment and responsibility, reflecting the hierarchical structures present in ancient Israelite society. The concept of headship is integral to understanding the social and religious dynamics of the biblical narrative, where leaders are often seen as representatives of God's authority on earth.
