Strong's Lexicon moshel: Ruler, Governor, One who exercises dominion Original Word: משֶׁל Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָשַׁל (mashal), which means "to rule" or "to govern." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G758 (archon): Often translated as "ruler" or "leader," used in the New Testament to describe those in positions of authority. - G2232 (hegemon): Meaning "governor" or "leader," used in the context of political or military leadership. Usage: The term "moshel" refers to an individual who holds authority or governance over others. It is used in the context of leadership, dominion, and the exercise of power. In the biblical narrative, it often describes kings, leaders, or anyone who has been given the responsibility to rule over a group of people or a territory. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of rulership was deeply intertwined with divine mandate. Leaders were often seen as appointed by God to maintain order and justice. The role of a "moshel" was not only political but also spiritual, as rulers were expected to lead in accordance with God's laws and commandments. The idea of kingship in Israel was unique in that it was meant to reflect God's ultimate sovereignty, with human rulers serving as His representatives on earth. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
