Strong's Lexicon Mishrai: Authority, Dominion Original Word: מִשְׁרָעִי Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: Mishra`iy Pronunciation: mish-RAI Phonetic Spelling: (mish-raw-ee') Definition: Authority, Dominion Meaning: a Mishraite Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁרָה (sharah), which means "to rule" or "to have power." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of authority is ἐξουσία (exousia), which appears in the New Testament to describe both earthly and divine authority. Usage: Mishrai is used to denote a sense of authority or dominion, often in the context of governance or leadership. It implies a position of power and responsibility, typically bestowed upon an individual or group to lead or manage others. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, authority and dominion were significant concepts, often associated with kingship, priesthood, and leadership roles within the community. The idea of divine authority was central to the Israelite understanding of governance, where leaders were seen as appointed by God to execute His will on earth. This concept is reflected in the theocratic nature of Israel's early governance, where religious and political authority were intertwined.
