Berean Strong's Lexicon kuriotés: Dominion, Lordship, Authority Original Word: κυριότης Word Origin: Derived from κύριος (kurios), meaning "lord" or "master." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "kuriotés," the concept of dominion can be related to Hebrew terms such as מֶמְשָׁלָה (memshalah, Strong's H4474) meaning "dominion" or "rule." Usage: The term "kuriotés" refers to the concept of dominion or lordship, often used to describe a sphere of authority or rule. In the New Testament, it is used to denote spiritual or celestial powers, particularly those that are part of the hierarchy of angelic beings or spiritual authorities. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "kuriotés" would have been understood in the context of political and social hierarchies, where authority and dominion were central to governance and societal structure. In Jewish thought, spiritual hierarchies were also recognized, with various ranks of angels and spiritual beings having different roles and authorities.
