Berean Strong's Lexicon sholtan: Dominion, Authority, Sovereignty Original Word: שָׁלְטָן Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁלַט (shalat), meaning "to have power" or "to rule." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of dominion or authority is "ἐξουσία" (exousia - Strong's Greek 1849), which is used in the New Testament to describe both divine and human authority. Usage: The Hebrew word "sholtan" refers to the concept of dominion or authority, often in the context of governance or control. It conveys the idea of having power or sovereignty over a realm or people. In the biblical context, it is used to describe both human and divine authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of dominion was central to the understanding of kingship and governance. Rulers were often seen as having been granted authority by the divine, and their power was considered both a responsibility and a privilege. The biblical use of "sholtan" reflects this understanding, emphasizing the ultimate sovereignty of God over all creation, as well as the delegated authority given to human leaders.
