Strong's Lexicon misrah: Dominion, government, rule Original Word: מִשְׂרָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: misrah Pronunciation: mis-raw' Phonetic Spelling: (mis-raw') Definition: Dominion, government, rule Meaning: empire Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׂרָה (sarah), meaning "to rule" or "to have power." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of dominion or rule is ἄρχω (archo - Strong's G757), which means "to rule" or "to begin," and βασιλεία (basileia - Strong's G932), meaning "kingdom" or "reign." Usage: The term "misrah" refers to the concept of dominion or government. It is used to denote authority, control, or the act of governing. In the context of the Bible, it often implies a divinely ordained rule or leadership, particularly in relation to the Messiah's reign. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of dominion was closely tied to the idea of divine kingship. The king was seen as God's appointed ruler, responsible for maintaining justice and order. The use of "misrah" in prophetic literature often points to the anticipated Messianic rule, which was expected to bring peace and righteousness. This reflects the broader Near Eastern understanding of kingship as a divine mandate.
